Kenny: Attitude wasn't right
2nd May 2012 - Latest News
Kenny Dalglish gave an honest appraisal of his side's 1-0 defeat to Fulham and admitted - our attitude was not right.
The Reds went behind early in the game after a ball delivered by John Arne Riise and knocked on by Alex Kacaniklic was ricocheted into the net by Martin Skrtel.
They were unable to find an equaliser, while at the other end Alexander Doni had to impress to keep out further goals.
Dalglish, who made nine changes to his side ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final, reflected: "Our attitude wasn't right, and if you go in with a bad attitude you're going to get a bad performance. That's what we got.
"I'm culpable as well because I changed the players to try and give everybody an opportunity to get in the frame for Saturday.
"I suppose maybe by doing that it was a contributory factor to what happened.
"There were one or two positives but there were too many negatives.
"If you go into a game with that attitude you're going to get nothing, and that's what we deserved."
The boss was asked whether he felt the defeat would affect confidence heading into the Wembley clash with Chelsea.
He said: "It'll not affect Saturday but that's not to say it's right for tonight, and it's not something you want to dismiss easily.
"It's just not right, not correct to go about your work in that way.
"If we'd have come in here and won 4-0 it wouldn't have made a difference for Saturday.
"We've lost and we've been honest in our appraisal of the game and the way we went about the game."
