Hodgson has endured a mixed start as Liverpool manager but his close friend Houllier believes the Reds boss is starting to find his feet and the team's form is improving as he does so.
"I saw Liverpool play against West Ham the other week. They are back," said our former manager.
"I am sure Roy will turn it around at Liverpool. He will do it. No problem. Give him a bit of time. He needs to change a few things. The problem is at Liverpool, when you lose, it's a crisis."
