Kenny’s crew in cruise control

THAT Gulf cruise Kenny Dalglish interrupted to answer an Anfield SOS must seem an awful long time ago even though the Liverpool manager was able to mark his first anniversary with a comprehensive win.

The fall out from the Luis Suarez race row and the defeat to leaders Manchester City have made for a testing few days for Dalglish.

But at least victory over Oldham ensured he avoided the fate suffered by Rafa Benitez and Roy Hodgson, who both suffered embarrassing cup exits at the hands of lower league opponents.
