Dalglish deflects the credit

21 April 2011 12:30
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is keen to share around the credit which has been lavished on him since he took over in January. Since the Scot replaced Roy Hodgson the team have taken 25 points from a possible 39 and are unbeaten at Anfield, having won four and drawn two in the Barclays Premier League. But the players have spoken in support of the work assistant Steve Clarke has done on the training ground and Dalglish admitted his fellow Scot had been a huge help. "We both came in at the same time and he has been really influential in what has gone on," said the Reds boss. "But it is not a one-man band, everyone chips in to make a huge contribution to results." Dalglish has had to fend off questions about his contract situation for some weeks now and today was no different. "We've said before, when there's something to tell you we'll tell you - there's nothing to be said," was his response at his pre-match press conference for Saturday's visit of Birmingham.
