Liverpool not taking Swansea lightly says Dalglish

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish insists he will treat visiting Swansea City with caution this weekend.

The Welsh club make the trip to Anfield to take on the Reds on Saturday and Dalglish is not about to pencil in a win for his side as Brendan Rodgers has put together a very dangerous Swans squad.

"It's a game that we're going to have to be very patient in," said Dalglish. "They pass the ball well, they move it well.

"The supporters have to understand that sometimes there is a bit of disrespect for teams who have been promoted. Swansea might have spells of possession in the game, which we've got to accept.

"I don't know Brendan Rodgers as a person - I only know what he's done in football - but he's certainly set up a decent team there.

"I don't think it does you any good to change your principles. You have to change the whole team if you change your principles.

"That was the way they got their reward last year in promotion. Why should they change? Good luck to them.

"We've got the utmost respect for them and their principles are similar to ours. Swansea are one of the promoted teams but they're a decent side and they've got a good collection of points."
