Dalglish Calls For Clinical Reds

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has called on his side to be more clinical to turn draws into wins.

The Reds have drawn their last four games at Anfield to see precious points slip through their fingers in the race to finish in the top four.

Liverpool's away form so far has been excellent and they head in to Monday's clash with Fulham with a chance of equalling a club record of seven successive away wins in all competitions.

Dalglish believes Liverpool deserves to have more than the 23 points on the board and he has called on his players to be more clinical in taking their chances.

"We were delighted with the way we played but I think we set our standards a little bit higher than drawing against people," said Dalglish.

"I think we deserve better than that, I think we are better than that, and it's up to us to stand up and be counted and start winning games.

"We've done fantastically well and in most of the games we've played at home I think we should have come away with three points. To the players' credit their performances have been top notch."

Dalglish is expecting a tough test against Martin Jol's Fulham and he is hoping for a repeat of their 5-2 success at Craven Cottage last term.

"Fulham have done well. It's difficult when there's a change in management and obviously that's their third one in a short space of time," added Dalglish.

"We know it's going to be a very difficult game. We also know we went there and won 5-2 last year but we got our reward for that by getting three points - we'll only get what we deserve on Monday."
