KENNY PRAISES TEAM AFTER MAN U WIN
KK told his post-match press conference: "Well everybody who supports Liverpool has had a great day and it owes to the performance of the players.
"I thought the way they went about their job, their attitude, their commitment, their desire to get a result, the pride they took in playing for the football club and the pride they took in themselves in their own performance were the reasons they got the result.
"Without everybody giving everything they've got, you don't beat Manchester United - they did that. It's great credit to them that they did and played so well."
He added: "As I've said many times before, the players have been brilliant to work with, really responsive to the training at Melwood with Steve Clarke and Sammy Lee and they've got their reward for it.
"They got what they got today because they worked really hard to get it, and that's great credit to them."
"They were all outstanding in different ways," he said. "Dirk got three goals and he'll get the headlines. Luis played really well, fantastically well, but the rest of them weren't too far behind.
"With the contribution of the rest, the boys wouldn't have had an enjoyable an evening as what they probably will have. At the same time, we know it's a good victory for us, very important for us, and we know Manchester United are a great benchmark, but our season is not finished.
"We'll get our reward by looking at the league table and seeing another three points. We just want to keep going and get as many as we possibly can."
on Andy Carroll's debut Kenny said
"It was just a bit of reward for him because he's done really well, along with the medical staff, to get himself this far.
"It's a reward for him to get back onto the pitch. It's the next logical extension to his fitness programme. He had a wee run out, I'm sure he enjoyed it but I'm sure it was an indication to himself that he's a wee bit to go yet."
"He's a good guy. He's not somebody who thinks he is superior to anybody else, he just loves playing football and wants to be part and parcel of the football club.
"We've got to temper his enthusiasm a little bit, but he's only a young lad who is going to be a big, big player for this football club. I shook his hand to wish him all the best, the same as I do before every game to every player."
There was a special moment in the dying stages of the contest as the Kop chanted 'Happy Birthday' to Dalglish after the boss celebrated his 60th on Friday.
He said: "I don't know how long this birthday is going to last - I'll be 70 by the time it finishes!
"The fans have always been fantastic supporters to myself and my whole family. It was a bit emotional when they started singing it - I don't think they would have sang it if we had been losing, and I wouldn't have wanted to have heard it if we were, but as I said the day went really well for us. The fact it was my birthday, well every day is my birthday when I go into Melwood."
