Johnson happy Dalglish supporting Liverpool boss Benitez
Glen Johnson is pleased to see Liverpool icons rallying round manager Rafa Benitez.
Monday's draw with Birmingham City means the Reds have won only one of their last nine matches in all competitions, leading to criticism from some quarters.
However, Johnson feels Liverpool's detractors need to gain a sense of perspective.
"It's good to see influential people like Kenny Dalglish backing Rafa and the team because it proves that everyone is together," said the defender to liverpoolfc.tv.
"Rafa's done a fantastic job here and will continue to do so. A couple of bad results does not make him a bad manager or us a bad squad.
"Nobody expects Liverpool to lose games one after another. But that's the nature of playing for a huge club. The spotlight is on you all the time.
"When it's a club like Liverpool out of form, it can get blown out of proportion."
