Dalglish Delight At Courage

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish praised the courage of his players after their perceived dominance was again not reflected in a scoreline.

A 1-0 win over QPR at Anfield ended the Reds' run of four successive and frustrating home draws after star striker Luis Suarez headed the only goal of the game early in the second half.

The heroics of visiting goalkeeper Radek Cerny denied Suarez and Maxi Rodriguez from making the scoreline more convincing.

And, after the match, Dalglish had no complaints with the performance of his team, while he also repeated that sooner or later an opponent is going to get humiliated.

The Scot told Sky Sports: "It takes a lot of courage to get back in there and have another pop when you miss one (a chance). So the boys are pretty courageous lads.

"If they keep getting in there, then eventually the lot of them is going to score two or three. We look forward to that day.

"We are disappointed for the players, not with them, because we couldn't ask for better football than that."

Liverpool has drawn five league matches at Anfield this season, which is the main factor behind why they trail the UEFA Champions League places.

But Dalglish was adamant his team should only have dropped points in one match this season and that was when they lost 4-0 at Tottenham in September.

"There has only been one game this year where we have not deserved full points, or a victory, if it was a cup tie, and that was at Tottenham," he said.

"I don't think the players have got the points that their football deserves. They will continue to do what they do best, and that is moves and football like that."
