Kenny Dalglish Calms Job Talk

Kenny Dalglish has played down talk that he should take up the post of Liverpool manager on a permanent basis.

The KOP legend stepped in after Roy Hodgson parted company with the club earlier this season. And Liverpool are enjoying a good run of four with four consecutive wins.

Liverpool are now up to sixth in the Premier League, the highest position of the season, after a 1-0 win over Chelsea at the weekend.

Speaking to Sky Sports Dalglish said: "I'm only doing what I said I would come in and do, which is help," said Dalglish.

"I'll never stand in the way of progress at this football club.

"I have never had a conversation with the owners beyond the conversation I had when I came in.

"That's where we stand at the moment and until there is more to discuss, that is where we are."

The Chelsea/Liverpool match was the Premier League clash of the weekend as Fernando Torres made hit debut for the London side against his old club.

But it was a below par performance from Chelsea as Liverpool were solid in defence and let very little slip through.

Liverpool are now six points behind Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, but both sides do have a game in hand over the reds.
