Kenny Dalglish has insisted Liverpool fans are not to blame for Roy Hodgson’s troubled tenure at Anfield.

The Fulham boss spent six months in charge of the Reds but left the Merseysiders in January after a string of poor results with Dalglish replacing the 63-year-old at the helm.

Hodgson has since claimed that he never felt fully supported by the fans during his time at the club, but Dalglish insists the Anfield faithful are fully entitled to their opinions.

“It is up to the fans how they remember Roy,” he said.

“We can’t dictate how someone is remembered.

“Everybody has their own opinions on what happened so they will have their own feelings and respect.

“No Liverpool fan wishes bad on anybody. They want everybody to do the best they can.

“If the club does well then everybody is happy.”

The two managers are set to go head-to-head on Saturday afternoon at the Hawthorns as Liverpool take on West Brom with Hodgson hoping to maintain the Baggies’ current mini-revival which sees them unbeaten in their last four games.
