Chairman backs under-fire Red Roy

(14-12-2010) Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has backed the club’s under-fire manager Roy Hodgson to turn things around at Anfield. The Reds currently lie in ninth place on the EPL standings , 12 points behind leaders Manchester United. Speaking on LFC TV on Monday night, Werner said: "We just got here, Roy got here shortly before us. Nobody, least of all Roy, was happy with our performance last weekend.” He added: "We have to perform better, especially on the road. We believe in what Roy is doing and we certainly feel like the performance has to improve, and he'd be the first to say that." Regarding the January transfer window, Werner said: "We don't quite know what the situation's going to be in January. It's our first transfer window and it's something we've been studying day and night.”
