Liverpool v Wolves reaction

24 September 2011 18:30
iverpool manager Kenny Dalglish felt his side deserved their 2-1 victory over Wolves at Anfield despite making heavy weather of it.[LNB] A Roger Johnson own goal, diverting in Charlie Adam's shot, and another magical Luis Suarez strike gave the Reds a comfortable half-time lead in Saturday's Premier League encounter.[LNB]However, Steven Fletcher pulled one back early in the second half and despite creating - and missing - a number of good chances, the home side were grateful for the final whistle.[LNB]"I think it deserved three points, although it was difficult at times," said Dalglish.[LNB]"They put us under a bit of pressure in the first half and then scored early in the second half which gave them a bit of momentum.[LNB]"We had a few headers and blocks to make but at the other end we broke away and hit the bar twice and their goalkeeper made an unbelievable save from Luis.[LNB]"We maybe got a bit of good fortune with the first goal with it coming off Johnson but I think we deserve a bit of luck because we haven't had much recently.[LNB]"We will continue to plod on and with a bit of luck in the second half, with the two that hit the post, we could have had another couple.[LNB]"We have got three points, we may get the luck some other day when we need it."[LNB]Suarez was again the side's stand-out performer, often tying opposing defenders in knots, and it was his intelligent movement and brilliant finish which brought the all-important second goal.[LNB]"Suarez has been outstanding since he came to the club," added Dalglish.[LNB]"We are very fortunate to have him and we look forward to many more happy days with him because he is a fantastic footballer."[LNB]Wolves boss Mick McCarthy was disappointed his side allowed a positive start to fade quickly but drew heart from their response after the break.[LNB]"We had a difficult first half and an excellent second half," he said.[LNB]"I thought first 10 minutes we started okay but then we conceded a goal, for which I thought Roger Johnson was fouled by Carroll and I was annoyed about that.[LNB]"The second one we tried to play offside and did it badly and it cost us.[LNB]"My goalkeeper is excellent and he has had a good performance but we were a far better team in the second half and that is the level of performance I would expect from us."
