KENNY DALGLISH finally woke up to the harsh reality of managing Liverpool.
The Kop's caretaker chief lost his second consecutive game since taking over from Roy Hodgson as his flops crashed at humble Blackpool.
After a 10th defeat of the season for Liverpool, and a stunning league double for Blackpool, King Kenny said: "It's obviously a big challenge - seldom do you get a job where there's not.
"Every side that has been successful needs a bit of luck but the sooner we get stuck in and don't feel sorry for ourselves, the better chance we will have.
"But it's not just that - we have a lot of work to do."
Fernando Torres put Liverpool into an early lead but Gary Taylor-Fletcher and DJ Campbell gave Blackpool their first double over the Reds in 64 years.
But Dalglish added: "The attitude was encouraging and the harder we try the luckier we will get. So we will keep trying but obviously I'm disappointed we came away with no points."
Liverpool are now 13th - four places behind Ian Holloway's battlers - and just 20-1 to get relegated.
Ollie said: "That's the best of the lot. The way they started with a bang, it could have been a horrible, horrible, night for us. But I'm so proud of my lads.
"We needed an equaliser - we took a punch and gave them one back. I said at half time 'calm yourselves down,' because the next goal was going to be vital and if we got it, it could knock the stuffing out of them. And blow me down, we got it.
"If you'd told me we would take six points off Liverpool I'd have said you were doolally."
Holloway also had a message for Aston Villa, who have been trying to get skipper Charlie Adam, 25, for £3.5million.
He added: "They can shove their bid where they like if they think he's worth that. They're messing with the wrong dog and it'll come and bite them."
