Dalglish has found his judgement, signings, tactics and suitability for the job all questioned in recent weeks and the team was booed off at a rapidly-emptying Anfield after a 10th defeat of the season against Wigan on Saturday.

The Scot has defended his team without question - insisting paying £35m for flop Andy Carroll was money well spent.

Jose Enrique: "The manager takes pressure for us and of course that is good.

"But the truth is, when we make mistakes or have a bad game, we know where the mistakes come from.

"Who plays the games? The players. Who has to win them? The players too.

"The players are frustrated just the same (as the fans).

"We have played good football in many games but against Wigan we didn't deserve to win.

"Of course I want to do my best for the team and for Liverpool first, but also for the manager because he signed me."
