Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish admits his coaching staff make the club a great place to work at daily.
He admits he is delighted that his players are enjoying the Melwood sessions and reckons it is all down to the tireless work of an unsung duo.
Asked if he too wore a smile on his face on arriving at the club's training ground, the boss told liverpoolfc.tv: "Yes, but I'm a wee bit disappointed with the training matches. Steve Clarke won't give me a game. I keep asking to join in and there is always an odd number, but he never looks my way.
"It's a fantastic compliment to Stevie and Kevin (Keen) that the players are enjoying their training. They organise most of it. There are a lot of things that go unnoticed but certainly the contribution Steve and Kevin are making towards everything shouldn't be. It certainly doesn't go unnoticed within the framework of Liverpool Football Club.
"I enjoy coming in. It's great for me to come in here. It's not so good when you have lost a game but hopefully those days will be few and far between.
"It's enjoyable for everyone. There is a friendly atmosphere here. At the same time they won't be kidding on that the friendliness means they aren't competitive. They know how to compete and the group of players here are really competitive. At the same time they are a bit more relaxed than what they were before."
