Kenny Dalglish insists Liverpool is showing signs of turning its season around even though it remains just four points above the relegation zone.

Dalglish, who had a successful stint as manager between 1985 and 1991, was defeated by Manchester United in the FA Cup in his first game and beaten by Blackpool in the Premier League before Sunday's 2-2 draw with Everton.

The Reds have won just seven of their 22 league games this season but Dalglish is adamant Liverpool is not far off transforming its fortunes.

"I can see the belief coming back into those players and that's great news.

"They've all got to adapt to that and it's a great credit that they've adapted to what Stevie (Clarke), Sammy (Lee) and myself have asked them to do," he said.

"The training is different to what it was. That doesn't mean it's better but it's different, but they believe in what they're doing.

"Before I was manager I was going to games and couldn't believe there weren't that many wins.

"The best way to turn it round is put our words into performances.

"I have not been surprised negatively by anyone since I came here. I've been really pleased with attitude.

"We're not having a great deal of fortune going our way at the moment but, if we keep working, the sooner it will turn."
