Kenny Dalglish impressed with Stoke City defence against Liverpool at Britannia Stadium– EPL News
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has hailed the extraordinary defence of Stoke City as Tony Pulis’ men impressively kept a clean sheet to earn all three points against the Merseyside club at Britannia Stadium.
The Anfield club endured a disappointing and unlucky 90 minutes in the latest league encounter as they failed to maintain their unbeaten run and slumped to their first defeat of the ongoing 2011/12 English Premier League. Despite dominating the match, the
Liverpool attack failed to make the most of the chances that cam their way. A controversial penalty against the Reds cost them all three points.
Dalglish claimed that the home side showed extraordinary commitment and their hard work paid off after they successfully managed to keep a clean sheet despite numerous efforts from Liverpool. However, Kenny feels that Stoke City were also lucky not to concede
but has insisted that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tony-c35440 Pulis’ men played courageously and deserved to take all three points.
The Merseyside boss said, "They got their goal and they defended their goal courageously at times, maybe occasionally they got a bit of luck. We don't have anything but appreciation for the way that they played and the way they held on to the game and [went]
on and won."
Liverpool could have easily won the fixture against Stoke City, however, the Reds missed numerous gilt-edged chances during the match. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-Henderson-c19102 was guilty of missing two one-on-one chances even before Liverpool conceded the goal.
Even talismanic Luis Suarez had left his scoring boots at home. The Uruguayan failed to capitalize on a golden opportunity after Stoke City goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Asmir-Begovic-c6841 had spilled the ball.
However, Dalglish has defended Suarez claiming that it was not as easy a chance as many believe it to be.
"You think it's an easy chance but it's not when you see it on television, when you see it on that big screen that was up there – which conveniently went off a few times. The goalkeeper's got a good angle on it, it's a difficult chance to take," Kenny Dalglish
concluded.
Having failed to pick any points from the latest encounter, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 now have seven points from four Premier League matches.
