Is anyone watching this on the Lpool channel now? Whats happening they said there sacking or backing Roy? Can't watch it in work!
Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has given his backing to manager Roy Hodgson but admits results must improve.
Hodgson has been under pressure for most of his five months at Anfield, with Liverpool winning only one of their first eight Barclays Premier League matches this season.
Things have improved since then but Saturday's 3-1 defeat by Newcastle at St James' Park was another low and extended their record of only one away win this season.
Speaking on a phone-in 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.
"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."
Werner and new owner John Henry, who bought the club through New England Sports Ventures in October, have been welcomed by Reds fans for bringing to an end the unpopular reign of fellow Americans Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
The future of Anfield is one of the key issues for the new executives, who are weighing up the pros and cons of a move to a new ground versus redeveloping the current stadium.
"We certainly feel the need to do something," continued Werner. "Our intention is to increase our revenue so we can put put the best possible squad together.
"We're hard at it, we've had a lot of meetings and we are moving forward with various options. It's too early to go in one direction or another in terms of whether or not to build a new stadium or refurbish Anfield, but we are making progress."
There have been reports a groundshare with Everton could be an option but Henry insisted that would be a non-starter if it did not have the support of the fans.
The Boston Red Sox owner also addressed the issue of spending in the January transfer window, calling Liverpool's form over the last year "unacceptable".
"We're actively looking at it," he 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.
"There's no doubt the play that has gone on this season, and for the last half of last season, is unacceptable for Liverpool to accomplish what it wants to accomplish.
"We're in sync with the fans with regard to what it's going to take for this club going forward."
