The Liverpool manager bemoans bad luck against Sunderland but is confident the players will respond in the Merseyside derby.
Liverpool’s hopes of qualifying for next season’s UEFA Champions League were dealt a major blow after a disappointing defeat to Sunderland on the weekend. The Reds lacked both imagination in creating chances and flair when it came to entertaining the crowd.
The loss now leaves the club 10 points behind http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 who currently occupy fourth place, however, the London side have the chance to extend that lead to 13 points when they take on Newcastle United later tonight.
Dalglish also has midweek football to prepare his side for as the Reds are set to take on their local rivals, Everton, in the Barclays Premier League.
The Liverpool manager did take a moment to acknowledge the accomplishment of his opposite number as he commended the work done by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Moyes on his tenth year in-charge of Everton.
“Its 10 years since he (Moyes) went there, and he’s done a fantastic http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684, its nine game undefeated.”
Dalglish got straight back to the point though when he commented on Liverpool’s current form. The Merseyside club have lost three consecutive matches, something that many do not remember happening for quite some time.
“It depends what teams you’re playing, but certainly it’s not a record you expect from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809. We’ll just keep going in the way we have done. What we’ve done has got us as far as we have.”
“We don’t want to get into the habit of losing games, but in between the losses we’ve have a Carling Cup victory.”
Focusing on the game ahead, Dalglish admitted that it would be a big game against their local rivals who are on quite an impressive run of form, having not been beaten in their past previous nine Barclays Premier League fixtures.
“It is a big game tomorrow. Everybody is looking forward to it and we know how much it means to everyone.”
Liverpool need nothing less than a win in order to avoid falling further behind in the race for the hotly contested fourth spot and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 will be looking to extend their unbeaten run when the two sides face each other.
