Dalglish calls for calm

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish urged his players to deal better with their frustration after a stormy 2-0 defeat at Newcastle.

Goalkeeper Jose Reina was sent off nine minutes from time for head-butting defender James Perch, and £35million striker Andy Carroll, who endured a miserable return to his former club, headed straight down the tunnel having aimed a volley of abuse at his manager when he was replaced two minutes earlier.

"We don't have a problem with people showing their desperation or disappointment or frustration, but we need to channel it better than we have done," said Dalglish.
