Phil Neal with the European Cup in 1984 (158)LIVERPOOL'S most decorated player Phil Neal today welcomed the sensational return of ex-team mate Kenny Dalglish as caretaker boss following the departure of Roy Hodgson.Neal said: "They have made the decision - we were on the rocks in many ways."The body language of Roy Hodgson was concerning to the fans at certain stages - could he stand he bigger club pressure?"Results have been up and down into the New Year, starting with Newcastle."We should have propelled ourselves up the table and we didn't do that. And with the fixtures coming thick and fast in the New Year now, we have got to be a unit."Kenny would be the first man to stand in and maybe create a bit of the old type of togetherness really, along with the fans."Maybe we'll have a better New Year."Added Neal, who played in four European Cup winning teams - three of them as a team mate of Dalglish in 1978, 1981 and 1984, added:"We are not looking to the past with this appointment."Can Kenny prove himself once more? He's a quality person and a quality former player. He knows all about togetherness.
