KENNY DALGLISH refused to be drawn on his January transfer plans after question marks were again raised about Liverpool’s potency in front of goal.

Dalglish watched his side take a richly deserved three points on Saturday afternoon to leapfrog Newcastle United in sixth in the Premier League table but Liverpool’s victory over Queens Park Rangers should have been by a more handsome margin.

Luis Suarez’s eighth goal of the campaign early in the second half but the Uruguayan and several of his Anfield team-mates were guilty of profligacy.

Despite the reoccurrence of this worrying theme, Dalglish remains bullish that Liverpool will rack up a healthy scoreline sooner than later and when asked if the club would look to sign a striker in the New Year in order to cure their wastefulness, the Liverpool manager was noncommittal.

“We did miss some chances, yes, but the goalkeeper saved a lot of them too,” said Dalglish, highlighting the fine performance of QPR’s Radek Cerny.

“Do I feel the need to go out and do something about that? Aye, whichever side comes along here next, we’ll ask them to come without a keeper. That’s the best way to do it, isn’t it?

“Irrespective of what I say, it’s not going to stop speculation we are going out in January to sign Joe Bloggs up front, or whoever. I don’t need to say anything.

“For us it was a fantastic team performance. We are quite happy.

“I trust the players implicitly when it comes to scoring, implicitly.

“They continued to get in there on goal, and even with the keeper having a good day, they didn’t drop their heads. They must be enjoying what they are doing, to continue playing like that, and creating chances like that.

“One day, creating chances like that, we are going to get a load…or we are going to be garbage, and win 1-0. And I think that will do us.”

As Dalglish was keen to point out, some of Liverpool’s approach play was excellent as QPR’s struggled to deal with their pace and precision.
