Liverpool boss Hodgson: No time to get complacent

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson insists back-to-back wins doesn't mean the tide has turned at Anfield.

He again refused to be drawn on any talk of the Reds having 'turned a corner'.

Hodgson said: "I think there have been signs that we are beginning to find our feet and the team is beginning to gel together.

"The last two games have brought victories and when you get a victory it is much easier to say 'We gelled together and did the right thing.'

"I am fairly confident that with the way the players work and apply themselves and the way everyone is trying to work hard to make us into a better team, we will see evidence of that in the games we play.

"Whether or not that means we'll win them all I can't say, but I don't have so many fears I am going to put a team on the field and they're going to be playing in a way I can't identify with or that I can't take responsibility for.

"That hasn't been the case so far and if we take the last two games I've got to say I am very pleased and satisfied with the performances.

"But of course, a manager is always a lot more satisfied when his team wins. When you lose you see a multitude of sins and when you win you see a multitude of positives. Probably in every performance there are positives and negatives.

"I am not prepared to talk about turning corners or about results being catalysts for the future. What we've got to do is keep working, keep our feet on the ground and make up ground because we lost a lot of ground at the beginning because of a very poor start to the season.

"We have got ourselves at a stage now where we've got a platform on which we can build, but we're going to need a lot more good results before we can get that platform as high as we'd like it to be."
