Liverpool boss happy with the progress made over the last year

Kenny Dalglish has revealed he is salivating at the prospect of unleashing his attacking trident on the Premier League. Luis Suarez returns from his eight-match for racially abusing Patrice Evra on Monday for the game against Tottenham at Anfield. Andy Carroll is finally starting to settle into life at Liverpool, while talismanic skipper Steven Gerrard has recovered from his long term injury to inject his class into the Reds midfield. Tottenham's arrival will present Dalglish with the opportunity to play all three of his stellar names, and it is one that he is clearly looking forward too.

Partnerships

"I've been told the three of them have only played 60 minutes together," he said. "For various reasons I don't think they've had a great deal of time to play together on the pitch, but the West Brom game away in October comes to mind that Luis and Andy did well. "Luis played Andy in for a goal that day and so we hope to see more of them together. I am happy we've got all the strikers fit and available at the moment. Within the team partnerships will develop." Dalglish recently celebrated a year in charge after resuming control of the club. He has steered them to the final of the Carling Cup, fifth round of the FA Cup and they are now poised to challenge for fourth spot in the league.
Progress
"We're excited with what's happening here lately and I think everybody can say they have moved the club on a little bit," he added. "We've made good progress. And I don't think we need to look so much at the results against the two Manchester clubs to justify it. "There was progress all along. The squad's much stronger now than it was last year - which is progress. "We can't look back on ifs, buts and maybes in terms of dropped points at home, but we've still a lot of football to play."
