Kenny glad to be back in the groove
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish dismissed the critics who claim he has been out of the game too long to be successful at a top-flight club.
The 59-year-old Scot took his place in the Reds' dugout for the FA Cup third-round defeat at Manchester United for the first time since quitting the club 19 years and 11 months ago.
He has not managed anywhere since a brief spell in charge at Celtic over a decade ago but when the call came to temporarily take charge after Roy Hodgson's departure he did not have a second thought.
After the game, Dalglish swept the concerns that he has been away too long to one side and also batted away a question about how he would deal with the pressure, having famously quit in 1991 because of the emotional stress brought on in the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster which took a great toll on him personally.
"I'll deal with the pressure the same way everyone else deals with it," he said. "You go about your job to the best of your ability and what happens happens.
"How do you know you can do anything unless you try it? I'll give it everything I've got to put this club in a better position. Whether that will be sufficient for everyone I don't know but I can't see into the future."
