Liverpool defender Dan Agger says they're a better team for Kenny Dalglish's arrival.
Liverpool have looked a more potent threat in recent weeks, and Agger feels their offensive outlook is in turn helping bolster their defensive ranks, with the team conceding just once in their last six outings.
He told liverpoolfc.tv: "You have to look at the team which is exactly the same (as under Roy Hodgson). Kenny came in with new ideas, and they made us really happy about playing football.
"That has been the main reason why we've improved defensively because we're keeping the ball going forward."
