The pressure is firmly mounting on the shoulders of Roy Hodgson after Liverpool slumped to yet another loss.
The Reds were beaten at Anfield 1-0 by Wolves who managed to climb off the bottom of the table thanks to Stephen Wards first Premier League goal in the 56th minute.

Liverpool lacked any creativity and looked lacklustre as Wolves pressed the home side and it was the pressure of the visitors which allowed them to get free down the other end for the only goal of the match.
GOAL A lovely through ball from Sylvan Ebanks-Blake gave Stephen Ward the chance to toe-poke past Pepe Reina and he did not disappoint, grabbing his first league goal for the club since the 2006/07 season when the club competed in the Championship.
Wolves moved to 19th on the table ahead of this weekend's vital clash with fellow relegation battlers West Ham United as Liverpool dropped to 12th and will take on Bolton at home on Saturday in a potentially season-defining fixture.
