Kenny values cup wins over fifth place

Kenny Dalglish values Liverpool cup wins over fifth place in the league

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish says he would be more satisfied by winning two cups than being fifth in the league.

The Reds, who won the last of their 18 league titles in 1990 during Dalglish's first reign, are eighth in the Premier League, 34 points behind the leaders.

"There is an obsession with the Premier League," said Dalglish, whose team are seeking a League Cup and FA Cup double.

"But there's satisfaction from winning a cup that you don't get from finishing fifth or sixth in the league."

More to follow.

Well, don't we all value cup wins over finishing fifth or sixth?

But a top four finish is probably something quite different to a lot of fans...

I think he is saying that fifth amounts to as much as eighth or ninth as neither gets a Champions League place.

I would rather have done as well as we have in the cup and finish fifth though.

It is depressing to see us losing do often.

And five wins from eighteen home games is pathetic.

You do realise every slot in the League means 500,000 pound of revenue and finishing in Champs league places means millions .

To me it seems he knows we are not going to go anywhere in the league and is clinging to Cup wins to make the season appear to be a success when he knows it has failed.

I for one want both cups but it doesn't make the league failure a sudden success. To me some of you fans appear to be happy to finish behind Everton in the league , well maybe your closet blue fans , coz i for one am not happy with it at all .

I agree, winning the FA cup will be a decent end to the season i think.

Id rather us finish higher then the blue and white shite but if we can get another trophy i say just focus on that.

Of course we would prefer to be getting cups ahead of finishing fifth - but that is obvious, as fifth doesn't really get you very much.
