Hodgson under further pressureBlackburn Rovers have triggered one dismissal in Roy Hodgson's managerial career and may yet provoke another. Another anaemic away defeat for Liverpool, this time to injury-plagued opposition, prompted another outpouring of anger towards a beleaguered manager whose 17 months in charge at Ewood Park may soon appear extensive in comparison to his tenure at Anfield.
Steven Gerrard missed an 86th-minute penalty and the chance to drag Liverpool back into the contest. When even the captain who revels in rescue missions fails from 12 yards, you know the portents must be against his manager. "You're getting sacked in the morning!" sang the Blackburn fans as Benjani Mwaruwari stroked Steve Kean's team into a three-goal lead. Seconds later, the away end joined in.
