Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson believes that his charges will do better next year, after experiencing an underwhelming season to date.
The Reds began the season in ignominious fashion, and fell into the relegation zone early on. But they mounted a recovery of sorts to rise to a mid-table position as their campaign began to improve. However, recent weeks have seen the side once again display an inconsistent form that has seen their recovery come to a temporary standstill.
However, the former Fulham boss believes his players are working hard to right their wrongs, and envisions better prospects in 2011.
"I get the feeling every day the players are committed to the club and will work hard to do better in 2011," Hodgson said, according to The Sun.
"They are capable of it and I am really anxious to work with them and help them with it.
"We didn't use the takeover as an excuse [by new owners NESV], although I'm not certain we needed it as an excuse because we weren't playing as well at that stage.
"But we've got better as a team with all the work we are putting in, although results are what count."
The Merseyside club now locks horns with rock bottom Wolves at Anfield on Wednesday, and the manager added: "We know Wolves are bottom but from eighth down to 20th, the points difference is not that great.
"It means we have to be very careful as we might be against the bottom team but, in three weeks, they might be eighth.
"We know they'll be scrapping for their lives but, if we perform, I'm sure that we will cause them problems."
