ShareKenny Dalglish has urged Liverpool's players to give themselves a headache next season by taking another step towards European football at Fulham. [LNB] Liverpool have resurrected their season to such an extent under the caretaker manager that the prospect of qualifying for the Europa League is now more probable than not, particularly as their main rivals Tottenham are faltering.[LNB] Having a ball: Liverpool's caretaker manager Dalglish sets his sights on Europe[LNB]But while Harry Redknapp has expressed misgivings over the demands that the Europa League place on a squad, Dalglish would embrace the prospect of playing on a Thursday then a Sunday and wants to juggle that problem. [LNB]'People crave for European success, then get in it and don't really take it as an achievement,' said Dalglish. [LNB]'I don't know what UEFA can do about it. I can't see how they can play the games at any other time as they aren't going to undermine the Champions League. [LNB]'I can't see the Europa League being moved from any day other than Monday. There's not enough room in the calendar to play every other week.' [LNB]The revival under Dalglish has been all the more eye-catching as Liverpool have been without injured captain Steven Gerrard for so long, which has forced others to raise their game in his absence.[LNB] Dirk Kuyt, Maxi Rodriguez and Luis Suarez have all been match-winners in the captain's absence and Dalglish said: 'In any team you are going to have players who shine more than others. [LNB]'Successful teams are the ones with the greatest number of options going forward. [LNB]'Everyone has come on. It's great credit to them and the confidence and belief they have in themselves. [LNB]'They have built up that confidence themselves with their results. Where you get your ammunition from doesn't really matter but the more choices you have, stronger you are going to be.'[LNB] Watch all the Premier League goals every week on our brilliant video playerSpearing signs new Liverpool deal after impressing Anfield boss DalglishFulham v LIVERPOOL: Fit again Carroll may have to settle for place on the benchAll the latest Liverpool FC news, features and opinionAll the latest Fulham FC news, features and opinion[LNB] [LNB] Explore more:People: Kenny Dalglish, Dirk Kuyt, Maxi Rodriguez, Steven Gerrard, Harry Redknapp Places: Liverpool, Europe
