Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has ruled out big changes after their shock defeat to Bolton Wanderers.

With Manchester City, in the second leg of the Carling Cup semi-final, and Manchester United, in the fourth round of the FA Cup, coming to Anfield over the next six days he has stressed such an abject display will not be tolerated.

"There is no point in having a knee-jerk (reaction) is there?," said the Scot. "That is the first time it has been like that so we will see what happens.

"But it is no comfort we have Man City on Wednesday or another game on Saturday.

"The players have to realise every game at this club is a big game, not just the ones that suit them. I never asked them what they were thinking but I would assume that people would have that idea (of a Carling Cup semi-final) in their mind - and if it was it is not correct.

"Everything which went wrong we can say we have to look at ourselves. The problem starts with their attitude and approach to the game.

"If you have pride in yourself and the club that reflects on the effort you put in and for me I don't know where it comes from but it had better go quickly.

"The key is now for us to not repeat what we have done."
