Dalglish questions break timing
Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing, Alexander Doni and Jose Enrique all joined the Reds this summer and reports have suggested Uruguay defender Sebastian Coates will also have been recruited by the Merseyside club before the transfer deadline next week. Dalglish is eager to get his squad settled, but after today's home fixture against Bolton, and with their Premier League campaign just three games old, the group will then split as the players go off to represent their countries. From the Scot's point of view, the situation - which he acknowledges all top-flight managers have to put up with - is less than ideal. "It's a fantastic honour to represent your country and you should go and do that, but you get a wee bit of momentum going (at club level), then you're off for two weeks and have to pick it up again and start off," said Dalglish, whose side's next match after Bolton is a trip to Stoke on September 10. "It's difficult, but it's the same for everybody - and everybody knew the score before we started (the season). "New boys come in, they're settling down and here for a wee while, and then they've got to go and represent their countries. "It's not undermining the honour of representing your country, it's just a fact of life - the longer they're here, the quicker they'll settle."
