Dalglish makes case for defence

Dalglish believes the quality of his defence is exceptional, and the stats show they have conceded the fewest goals in the league.

“It’s no surprise,” Dalglish said. “You’ve got the best goalkeeper in the Premier League, England’s right-back, two international centre-backs and probably the best uncapped left-back. And they get a lot of help from the boys in front of them. The more we have the ball the less pressure they are under and we have a lot of the ball in a lot of games.”
