I was in transit but the lads had been well prepared here,&#8221; continued Dalglish, whose team are sixth in the table but 21 points behind United. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But obviously that went out the window a little bit in the first minute when they got a penalty and Steven [Gerrard] got sent off. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can prepare as much as you want but you can&#8217;t prepare for things like that.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said he will not allow his side&#8217;s recent 2-1 defeat against Chelsea to dwell on the mind of his players. <\/p>\n<p>United remain four points clear of Arsenal but have played a game more &#8211; and the Gunners can close the gap when they play Sunderland on Saturday. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You remind the players of their responsibilities, that&#8217;s all part of the process,&#8221; said Ferguson. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We can&#8217;t let a defeat pass without reacting ourselves as staff. That&#8217;s not our style. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The players have to understand that we suffer as much as they do. It&#8217;s our job too, we&#8217;ve all prepared hard for the games, put in a lot of time and effort into preparing for matches. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That happens for every game. It&#8217;s not just Manchester City, Liverpool or Chelsea &#8211; we did the same for Crawley. All the video analysis, the coaching, the medical staff &#8211; regardless of the result the staff give every effort to their jobs. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So it&#8217;s part of the entire club to be geared to win. That helps at this stage of the season.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- E BO --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/b39f7af0dalglish640-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Read more from the original source:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/go\/rss\/-\/sport1\/hi\/football\/eng_prem\/9415658.stm\" title=\"Dalglish ready for Man Utd battle\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dalglish ready for Man Utd battle<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Barclays Premier League Venue: Anfield Date: Sunday, 6 March Kick-off: 1330 GMT Coverage: Watch live on Sky Sports 1 and highlights on Match of the Day 2;
