Kenny: We'll draw on experience

The Reds face a busy end to the campaign as the chase for a top-four finish in the Barclays Premier League continues, while they'll also contest an FA Cup semi-final against either Everton or Sunderland at Wembley next month.

Having been a part of successful Liverpool teams both as a player and a manager during the 1970s and 80s, Dalglish is well schooled on the demands a hectic end-of-season can place on a squad.

However, he believes such experience garnered by himself and first-team coach Steve Clarke will prove invaluable in helping maintain the squad's freshness as they chase further glory.

Dalglish told reporters at Melwood: "We'll analyse each player and work out what we have to do. Everybody is different.

"I think it helps when we've been there before - I've been there before both as a player and a manager and Steve Clarke has too.

"You can get all sorts of technical equipment to help you, but I think the eye is the greatest weapon you have and your knowledge and experience of what you've gone through before.

"We'll manage the players as well as we possibly can with the experience we've had and dealt with.

"They're a team, but within the team are individuals - and we've got to look after each individual differently.

"If we were not aware or conscious of that, then we'd be failing in our responsibilities."

Having secured a place in the last four of the FA Cup at the expense of Stoke on Sunday, it's back to Barclays Premier League action for Liverpool on Wednesday when they travel to Queens Park Rangers.

With 10 top-flight matches remaining, the Reds are currently 10 points off fourth-place Arsenal - and no-one at Melwood is ready to give up hope of securing a return to the Champions League.

Least of all the boss.

"We'll try our best in every game and every game we play is important to us," said Dalglish. "It's important to the football club, it's important to the players and it's important to the supporters.

"All we can do is our best in every game that we've got to play in."

He added: "The fans look at us and trust us to do the job properly. I think they also know they can allow themselves to be a little bit more romantic than we can.

"The people here who support the football club know what it stands for and I think they trust the people who are working in it now. And they think the best way forward for us is exactly the same as us - take it each game as it comes."

Liverpool's next task is a trip to Loftus Road where they will take on a QPR side currently in the relegation zone.

Dalglish, however, is aware Mark Hughes's men will be eager to cause an upset in London.

He said: "I saw an interview with Mark and he said the same as every other manager says, which is perfectly true: everybody needs a bit of luck now and again.

"When you see the 'goal' they (never) got last week at Bolton go against them I think you can justifiably say luck hasn't gone their way, especially in that game.

"QPR are where they are because they've not got the points, we are where we are because we've not got as many points as we'd like - but everybody's in the same boat. Everybody would like more than what they actually have.

"I'm sure tomorrow night they'll have put Bolton behind them and they'll be fired up to get the three points. They've got a really difficult run in which might be advantageous to them. But, as I say, the only thing we're concerned with is our game tomorrow night."

Meanwhile, journalists asked Dalglish for his reaction to an exclusive interview Luis Suarez gave to Liverpoolfc.tv on Monday in which the Uruguay striker spoke of his happiness at Anfield.

He said: "I'm sure that's made a lot of people very, very happy!"

Reporters also quizzed the manager of what sort of impact Steven Gerrard can have on Liverpool's run in with the skipper now back to full fitness.

"Steven's been fantastic for the football club, not just for this short space of time but for the length of his footballing career," replied Dalglish. "The run in is getting towards the end of the season and I'm sure Steven will play a massive part in that for us."
