Reds lacked edge admits Kenny

The Reds were unable to kill the game off against Wigan at the weekend and after the Lactics equalised they were unable to find a winner.

"I think it was a game we started well enough," Dalglish told reporters after the match.

"We pushed forward and scored a good goal with Raul again. Luis [Suarez] hit the post, but you could tell a lot of them had played Wednesday night.

"There was just that little bit of an edge missing. If the edge had been there, the final pass would have been better. I think there were three or four occasions in the first half we would have been in, but the sharpness was just missing a bit, which is understandable.

"Obviously we are disappointed not to take the three points and with a wee bit of luck maybe we would have, despite the performance not being as good as it has been in the past.

"I think Wigan may have been a bit aggrieved if they had gone away without a point but Luis hit the post twice and their goal was offside - these things happen.

"We just have to brush ourselves down and get on with it. It's not been too damaging. We'll keep going.

"The international fixtures took their toll, with Daniel Agger unfit and Raul spewing up at half-time. He had to come off just after that and of course, Steven [Gerrard] wasn't playing.

"We had some players out but the most important ones are those that are on the pitch."
