Roy Hodgson's Spell at Liverpool FC: Giving Credit Where It's Due

As Liverpool succumbed to yet another defeat to a newly promoted side, Newcastle United at St. James Park, the Roy Hodgson era headed for another serious setback just at the moment it seemed that the Reds were moving from strength to strength.
