Reds Boss Wants A Return To The Good Old Days

Kenny Dalglish doesn’t go along, totally, with the view of Jamie Carragher that missing out on a Europa League place could prove to be a blessing in disguise.

As a player, the former European Cup hero lived for those famous European nights at Anfield, and on the continent. Nothing’s changed now he’s the gaffer.

All of which is another reason why he wants to take Liverpool to new heights next season after steadying a ship which was drifting along relative aimlessly.

Despite losing the last two games, the Liverpool boss is full of praise for the players he inherited and who have bought into his and his coaching staff’s philosophy.

"They deserve a holiday. Some are more unfortunate than others in that they have to play in the Copa America (Brazil's Lucas Leiva, Uruguay's Luis Suarez) in July but we just need to get on with it and push forward," he added.

"I hope they enjoy their break because they deserve it. I've been relatively happy but, at the same time, it is not a football club that has built its history and tradition on losing matches.

"We don't want that to become a habit but I am really proud of the players by what they tried to achieve and how they turned it around."
