Roy: “I certainly haven’t lost faith in him”

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is hopeful that Reds midfielder Joe Cole will recover his best form when he returns from a Hamstring injury:

“Joe Cole is a magnificent professional and another one who would have wished for a better start to his Liverpool career. Most importantly of all with Joe, he really wanted to come here. He thought hard and long before choosing Liverpool – he had other options and could have taken an easier option and stayed in London. But he moved to the north west to a top club – a difficult club to impress at – because he really wanted to do it, and I think he will. Maybe he will just need that little bit of time. I certainly haven’t lost faith in him and I can only hope the fans have not lost faith in him and will give him plenty more chances. “

Cole was injured against Bolton Wanderers a couple of weeks ago and will miss out on the match against Wigan tonight.

TOP TEN LIVERPOOL MOMENTS OF THE DECADE

As we come closer to the end of 2010, I thought it might be good to look back at the last decade and see all the memorable moments Liverpool have had during that time. Of course, the most immediate memory is the Champions League final in 2005, but there are also individual memories such as Gerrard’s goals against Olympiakos in 2005 on the way to the “Miracle in Istanbul,” and the “Gerrard final” of 2006 where Stevie dragged the team to win the FA Cup. Also I have shared memories of instances that occurred under Gerard Houllier’s tenure such as the Golden Goal winner in the UEFA Cup final in 2001, Gary McAllister’s injury time free kick in the Merseyside Derby and John Arne Riise’s goal against Manchester United that nearly broke the goal post in two.
