Dalglish rallies around beleaguered Liverpool boss Hodgson

Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has called for everyone at Anfield to pull together behind boss Rot Hodgson as reports grow stronger that his tenure on Merseyside will soon be ended by the American owners, NESV. The Reds are trying to stop three successive league defeats and even the Kop have been chanting Dalglish's name as the next manager.

"Let's just press the pause button and throw all our efforts and energies into one basket," Dalglish told the Liverpool Echo.

"Everyone - whether players, supporters, staff or whatever - has to throw everything towards the one aim and that is to get us three badly needed points from the game against Bolton today.

"Because if everyone sticks together we'll have a better chance of getting those three points.

"Then if we want to have a discussion after that, we can.

"But the three points for the club is more important than any single person and how they feel.

"It is about Liverpool Football Club right now - not about any individual.

"So let's forget the issues today and concentrate on getting those three points.

"If everybody does their job properly; if everybody sticks together; if the players excite the fans and the fans support the players and everyone is led in one direction, then we should get the result.

"But without everybody being on the same page, it will make it a bit more difficult."
