Kenny Dalglish impressed with his team’s commitment in the 1-1 draw against Arsenal
Liverpool manager, Kenny Dalglish, has praised the commitment his team showed to snatch an equalizer from the last action of the play in their 1-1 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on April 17, 2011.
Neither of the two sides could find the back of the net in the full 90 minutes of play and Arsenal managed to get one in the seventh of the eight added minutes. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dirk-Kuyt-c11348 converted his spot kick the very next minute.
The draw dented Arsenal’s title hopes, as they now drift the league leaders, Manchester United by six points.
The Reds produced a fighting display despite losing two of their best players, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jamie-Carragher-c17728 and Andy Carroll through injuries. Dalglish believes that equalising the game through last kick of the match sums up his team’s winning mentality.
Talking to the reporters, Dalglish said: “I think what they did at the end epitomised the whole performance for the day. You lose two players through injury [Andy Carroll and Jamie Carragher] and you’ve got two young boys right and left back. You’re playing against a team who are going for the title.
“We’ve had to throw Jonjo [Shelvey] on and lost our centre forward - everything was battling against us but they’ve remained convinced and committed to getting something back from the game and I think that’s fantastic credit to them. The game wasn’t finished so you’ve got to play on. You won’t find a better committed team than what we put out there today.”
