Dalglish looks back to move forward

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is keen for the club to rediscover the style of their glory days - as it is the only way he knows how to play football. The success of the late 1970s and through the 1980s was built on the pass-and-move doctrines instigated by Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley. Dalglish flourished as a player in those teams and tried to continue the legacy in his first spell as manager. Asked if it was important to rediscover the attitude Shankly introduced at the club the 59-year-old Scot said: "Well it has never gone for me. "It would be nice if we could get back to that, on the pitch especially. Pass and move isn't old fashioned, it's the Liverpool way. "That's the way I was brought up and I don't think I could change. I think that's the way the players would like to play as well."
