Dalglish insists he can handle expectations of Liverpool fans

New Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish says he can handle the pressure of turning the club around.

Dalglish's first game in charge ended in FA Cup elimination at Manchester United and captain Steven Gerrard sent off.

"I'll deal with the pressure the same way everyone else deals with it," he said.

"You go about your job to the best of your ability and what happens happens.

"How do you know you can do anything unless you try it? I'll give it everything I've got to put this club in a better position.

"Whether that will be sufficient for everyone I don't know but I can't see into the future.

"All I can do is promise what I did when I signed for the club in 1977 - they will get 100 per cent effort from Kenny Dalglish and that is the way I'll go about it."
