Liverpool chief Kenny Dalglish says it's been a difficult start for new manager Roy Hodgson because of the World Cup.
Hodgson is having to wait to work with his full squad because of the staggered holidays for many of his World Cup players.
Dalglish said: "Roy is going to stamp his own authority on the club - but it is difficult at the moment because the players are coming back in dribs and drabs after the World Cup and you don't have everyone coming back together."
