The Liverpool manager had nothing but praise for the second and third choice goalkeepers and also took a moment to acknowledge the work of the backroom staff as well.
The Reds, already having lifted the Carling Cup this season, have a shot adding another trophy to their season when they take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in the final of the FA Cup in a few weeks’ time.
Liverpool secured their second cup final in the current 2011/12 season following a dramatic win against their local rivals, Everton. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 defence.
Luis Suarez equalised for the Reds following a weak back-pass by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tim-Howard-c35095 with the outside of his foot.
With the scores level it was all Liverpool from that time onwards as the Reds mounted attack after attack before, barely four minutes from the end of regulation time, Andy Carroll nodded the ball into the back of the Everton net.
It should be noted that Liverpool had to play the match with their third choice goalkeeper, Brad Jones, after their first and second choice keepers both served out the last match of their respective suspensions.
Dalglish praised the performance of Brad Jones, stating, “Seeing Brad do well was particularly pleasing. I know he came on at Blackburn, but it’s been a while since he started a first team game. Both him and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Doni-c11553 are a credit to themselves.”
He continued, “They’ve both (Doni and Jones) looked sharp and confident. How they’ve performed has been a good reflection of the work John Achterberg has done with them.”
Dalglish also answered a question many a football fan may have asked themselves, “It’s unusual for two keepers to be required in such a short period of time. People sometimes ask, ‘why do you need three goalkeepers?’ It’s in case of situations like this.”
Liverpool now turn their attention to West Bromwich Albion as the Reds will look to end the Premier League season in the highest position possible, however, they will surely have one eye on the FA Cup final.
