Dalglish defends progress

Dalglish has had to endure criticism of his reign for the first time since taking over last year after a run of poor results.

“It depends on how people view success”, Dalglish told the Liverpool website.

“I view success as the club moving forward, and that’s what we’re doing. We’ve moved forward in lots of ways.

“Maybe at times it isn’t always apparent, but on the pitch the club is moving forward, in and around Melwood (Liverpool’s training base. ed) it’s moved forward, off the pitch it’s moved forward, the academy has moved forward.”
