Dalglish: Seventh won`t do
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has no intention of settling for seventh place after a 1-0 victory over Fulham lifted his side to their highest position in the Barclays Premier League this season.
John Pantsil's 52nd-minute own goal turned out to be the decisive moment in the game, although up to that point the major talking point revolved around assistant referee Mick McDonough.
McDonough incorrectly flagged Fernando Torres offside as he raced on to Raul Meireles' sixth-minute through-ball to slot past goalkeeper David Stockdale. Fortunately for Liverpool it did not matter and the Reds secured back-to-back wins for the first time since early November.
But although seventh represents a considerable improvement in a season when, under predecessor Roy Hodgson, they dropped into the relegation zone, Dalglish cannot be satisfied.
"I think we are better than that," he said. "It is getting a bit more realistic but we are not getting carried away with being seventh - that is not where this football club wants to be.
"We want to be further up than that but to do that we have to win more games and that is what we will try to do, starting against Stoke next Wednesday."
