Liverpool boss Dalglish defends going with Carroll over Kuyt for Spurs defeat

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish defended his team selection for defeat at Tottenham.

Dalglish made one change to the side that lost 1-0 at Stoke last week by drafting Andy Carroll in for Dirk Kuyt.

Quizzed as to why he had opted to make the switch, the boss said: "You can stick with the players you want. As I've said before, it's not just about a team .It's about a squad and that will be used throughout the season.

"When there is a victory no comments are made about the team but if it's a defeat then whatever players you use are wrong.

"With how we started the game we would still have lost, irrespective of what else happened."
