Gerrard: Dalglish best solution for Liverpool

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard says Kenny Dalglish is proving the ideal manager for the club.

Gerrard believes the veteran Scot is simply the right fit.

"It does feel right him being back," Gerrard told the Daily Mail.

"First and foremost, he's a good person. He's helped me throughout my career. The advice he has given me, even before coming back as manager. He's always had time for me. Cared for me. I know how much he wanted this job and I'm just glad he got what he wanted.

"I feel he can take the club forward. As everyone knows, it's a results business. But so far, so good, and I'd love him to get the contract extended.

"He's brought everything together. Growing up, my experience of Liverpool was that you don't hang out your dirty washing in public. For the last couple of years there's been a lot of bad press. Non-stop.

"That's not the way we want the club to be run. But Kenny's come in and he's lifted the fans and the players. I think you can see that in the determination they have shown in the last few games. The players are certainly playing for Kenny."
