Kenny Dalglish pleased with Liverpool’s display against Everton – EPL News
Kenny Dalglish has heaped praise on Liverpool’s impressive performance in the Merseyside derby win over Everton at the Goodison Park, where the Champions League hopefuls recorded a 2-0 win.
The Merseyside club gave an absolutely spotless performance against their local rivals and recorded fourth win of the ongoing 2011/12 Barclays Premier League campaign. Dalglish’s men had a decent start to the match and managed to contain the pressure from
the home side.
However, Jack Rodwell’s controversial sending off in the 23rd minute changed the context of the game. The Reds made full use their numerical superiority and started to dominate the proceedings.
Dalglish’s team failed to find any breakthrough in the first half despite constantly terrorizing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019’s defence. With 20 minutes to go, Andy Carroll slotted his shot home from close range to put Liverpool in the lead.
Minutes later, Luis Suarez doubled the advantage to ensure all three points for the visitors.
Dalglish has expressed his contentment over his team’s performance in the first Merseyside derby of the season and has added, “Everyone has done well for us against Everton.”
The Reds manager is happy with Liverpool’s approach to the game after the opposition went down to 10 men.
Dalglish explained, “We were very professional in the match. When you are against 10 men it is easy to lose your concentration and get complacent but we didn't do either of those two things,”
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 manager has singled out his attacker for the derby win. Andy Carroll scored his first league goal in seven matches of the current season against Everton and Dalglish is happy to his most expensive signing got off the mark.
Moreover, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dirk-Kuyt-c11348, who had an extraordinary record against Everton, failed to score a penalty but the Scottish manager was happy with the Dutchman’s recovery during the game.

for us,” Kenny Dalglish added.
After securing their fourth win in seven matches, Liverpool are placed fifth on the table with 13 points.
