Criticism of Liverpool may be mounting after a run of poor results but manager Kenny Dalglish will not bow to the Twitter generation who crave instant success.

A run of five defeats in six league matches has led to all manner of questions being asked, ranging from the appetite of the players to Dalglish’s judgement on tactics and in the transfer market.
