Dalglish Pleased By Shankly Spirit

Kenny Dalglish has hailed the efforts of his Liverpool players after their 3-0 victory over Wolves at Molineux.

Two goals from Fernando Torres and a cracking strike from Raul Meireles gave Dalglish his first win during his second spell as the club’s manager.

And he was delighted by the display his men put on for the travelling support and hopes it will help the Reds kick start their season.

Dalglish said: “Bill Shankly set the standards for this football club and it’s up to us to maintain them. The way the lads played today was a great credit to them and it showed they’ve got great respect for the supporters and the club and that’s important.

“Hopefully that will give them the confidence and the belief back again. We’re not going to be carried away or get complacent in any way shape or form.

“Getting a goal in front, sometimes you get a bit nervous but today they were determined not to lose that.

“[The players] really appreciate the win, their efforts, I think the fans really appreciate it as well and great credit to Pep [Reina] and the back four.”
