Liverpool hosts Bolton in the Premier League on Saturday with manager Roy Hodgson urging fans to set aside hostility toward him and support the team in its efforts to pull clear of the relegation zone.
Fans jeered Hodgson again Wednesday and chanted for former Liverpool great Kenny Dalglish to replace him during a 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers that left the five-time European champions just three points from danger.
But Hodgson says the attitude of fans used to a place among England's elite is putting pressure on the players.
Hodgson says "ever since I came here, the famous Anfield support has not really been there."
Defeat to fifth-place Bolton could drop Liverpool into the bottom three if results elsewhere go against it.
