Dalglish sees Liverpool hope in Sunderland draw

Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish says there was enough in their draw with Sunderland to suggest good times will return at Anfield.

In his column for the Mail on Sunday, Dalglish wrote: " If minds were not focused already that this is a difficult and transitional period for the club, the midweek Carling Cup exit at Anfield against Northampton Town, of League Two, has certainly done so.

"Disaster is a very emotive word that doesn't sit well describing a football result, so we should steer clear of clichés like that.

"There is no doubt it was a hugely disappointing night that followed on from defeats by Manchester United and Manchester City in the Premier League. I wrote last week that defeat at Old Trafford last Sunday would realistically mean our chances of winning the Premier League title would be over in September. But the way Liverpool played in the last half hour against Sunderland and their attitude will hold them in good stead, even though it has been a difficult start to the season."
