Dalglish consigns Carling Cup win to history and looks to Liverpool future

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is looking forward to the rest of the Reds season having moved on from their Carling Cup final victory at the weekend. Sunday's victory over Cardiff brought the Merseysiders their first trophy for six years but the Scot will not dwell on that having now set his sights on Champions League qualification.

"We should enjoy what we've done but know that we've got to look forward," said the 60-year-old, whose side are seven points adrift of Saturday's visitor's Arsenal, although they do have a match in hand.

"Everybody loved it (the victory at Wembley) but when you like something and you've enjoyed the taste it makes you that little bit more anxious to get back there.

"But we've got a long way to go this season. I'm not trying to put a dampener on anything from Sunday but we've got to be realistic.

"I'm sure we'll move onwards and upwards but we won't do that if we think we've arrived anywhere."
