Skrtel praise for "winner" Dalglish
Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel believes Kenny Dalglish's man-management skills have been key in turning around their failing season.
Since the Scot took over from Roy Hodgson - after his disastrous six-month spell in charge - in early January, the Reds have accrued 20 points from 10 matches, losing just twice.
That has put them within touching distance of fifth place - and the final qualifying spot for Europe - in the Barclays Premier League.
Skrtel has echoed the comments of many of his team-mates in admitting the atmosphere is totally different under the 60-year-old and believes it is all down to the approach of the man rated the club's greatest player and the last manager to win the title at Anfield.
"He knows how to take the pressure away and protect the squad," said the Slovakia international. "A lot has changed at the club recently, but the most important thing has been confidence. Kenny has given us that.
"With confidence in football you can achieve great things. Everybody is happy now, looking forward to every single training session, every match."
