Konchesky backs Liverpool boss

Certain sections of Liverpool fans have called on Hodgson’s to be sacked by the club, following a poor start to the season.

“I know right now the fans obviously want a different style of football, but I think his style will work here,” said Konchesky in the Daily Express.

“The supporters need to get behind him a bit more.

“He wants to be at the top. He isn’t happy about us being eighth and ninth. I knew coming to Liverpool that the expectations would be different to Fulham, but I didn’t fully understand by how much until I got here.

“Every single person in Liverpool wants their team to be back in the top four. The pressure is high, but it’s also good because you have to show people what you are about.

“The league is funny this season. It’s not just Liverpool not winning matches. It gives us a chance of getting back up there, especially if we do well over Christmas when we’ll have players coming back from injury.”‘

Certain sections of Liverpool fans also does not believe Konchesky is good enough for the club.

“I’ve seen and heard that said, but people would have to tell me what a Liverpool player is to them,” he added.

“At first my form struggled and I was injured, but lately I’ve got myself fit and have done all right. I want to do better but, in a way, I think it’s easy for people to say things about me.

“I haven’t been here before and I am one of the manager’s signings.

“People have an opinion of me now. After a few months, if we finish fourth or fifth, would their opinion of me be different? I will get on with it, get over it and prove them all wrong.”
