Dalglish admits Liverpool must learn from meltdown

Kenny Dalglish admits Liverpool must learn from their stunning meltdown against QPR if they are to avoid their Premier League season drifting to a disappointing end.

Dalglish's side threw away a two-goal lead in the final 13 minutes to lose 3-2 to struggling QPR at Loftus Road on Wednesday.

And the Reds boss admits he is concerned his side may suffer in the FA Cup semi-final, when they face Everton or Sunderland at Wembley, if they continue to fail to close games out.

But Dalglish was puzzled as to how Liverpool managed to go from being in control thanks to goals from Sebastian Coates and Dirk Kuyt, to leaving west London with nothing after Shaun Derry, Djibril Cisse and Jamie Mackie had hit back.

Dalglish, who had admitted ahead of the game that his side need to win all 10 of their fixtures if they were to hope for a top four spot, said: "I don't think anybody saw it coming.

"We started fantastically, the only thing that was missing was a bit of luck in front of goal. AFP
