Sir Kenny Dalglish sends Liverpool League supporters a rallying cry for the Premier League and rejects Guardiola-style games

Sir Kenny Dalglish made a unifying call to his supporters before the decisive Premier League clash on Saturday against Bournemouth at Anfield, stating: "You can inspire Liverpool to the glory of the title."

The legend of Kop, coach of the last time the Reds were crowned champions in 1990, believes that the supporters have a key role to play in helping the team of Jurgen Klopp to put an end to this wait of 29 years.

Dalglish insists that attempts by Manchester City's "psychological warfare" to increase pressure will have no impact on Liverpool, who will restore a three-point lead to the top if it beats the Cherries.

"People may be nervous, but I was nervous at the beginning of the season, so I do not know what the nerves have to do with that," said Dalglish.

"There is no problem with nerves. I think it's normal to be nervous, it's an anticipation. We have been brilliant this season, the support has been brilliant.

"For us, we have never, ever won a trophy of my time here without the help of fans. It's when you need it most. If we can all stay together, it will give us a chance to go forward.

"When I played for the club, we had the chance to win it many times. We have won thanks to the help of people on the ground, executives and people watching us.

"They should not underestimate the importance of people who come to watch. They can help with their support.

"The support here has always been wonderful. They will enjoy it. It's been 29 years since we won a league title. It's been almost a generation and a half – a long wait.

"If they're a little nervous, then you can understand it, but that does not stop them from encouraging boys." They will encourage them to the end and the boys deserve it.

Back-to-back draws against Leicester and West Ham have hindered the bid for the title in Liverpool, with Man City outscoring the goal difference, but Dalglish is not worried.

He said, "We should not be embarrbaded to sit up there. Fear the worst? What is the worst? Jesus Christ, the worst is relegation, I imagine.

"We should be positive, supportive and helpful. We are going to make mistakes, but they should not be magnified because we are nearing the end of the season.

"They also made mistakes early in the season. They may have lost only a part, but that is not relevant, it is past. All you have to do is added at the end. "

Dalglish, who has won eight league championships with Liverpool as a player then manager, told Pep Guardiola that he was wasting his time with the games for the title race spirit. Earlier this week, the city's boss said he'd prefer to be in the Reds' place.

"They call it a hitch because there are only a few left but do not forget what happened before," Dalglish said.

"You have the usual things that happen towards the end of the season, like psychological warfare. If you support a team, it shows in one direction and the opposing team tries to throw a key. At the end of the day, they can try all the psychology of their choice.

"Only what happens on the pitch will count. We are where we are because of what we have done together on the field and in the stadium.

"I saw one yesterday, it was a boy from Man City who said how much stronger they were. Well, it's not a weightlifting contest? That's what's happening on the ground.

"For us, we have done most things right this year and if we continue to do most things correctly, we will be very happy. What is it? 13 games to play. Just enjoy it. Take one at a time. The next is the most important.

"If you want to take advantage of the disappearance of the opposition, you must do what you do well. They just need to do what they've done well all season.

"At the moment, they are leading the league with the goal difference and we have a game in hand. Pep said that he would prefer to be in our place and you say that there is no psychology!

"Do not listen to them, they are not in our position, we are in our position. Our destiny is in our hands. "

The 67-year-old City may be affected by the fact that he still competes in the League Cup, Champions League and FA Cup.

"Man City has been brilliant. They are still in the four competitions and they have a final to come, "he continued.

"They have the Champions League and a draw at the FA Cup in Newport, which could be interesting if it's on the same playing field as Middlesbrough's. They have a lot of football to play.

"What happens with injuries and suspensions will be very important for the rest of the season. Until now, both teams have suffered some injuries and this is an integral part of it: it's the way you react and react.

"Nobody is going to help you, you have to help yourself. If we help ourselves, we will be in a good position. "

Klopp's critics against referee Kevin Friend after Monday's 1-1 draw against West Ham suggested that the Reds boss was feeling the pressure, but Dalglish is adamant that it is not the case .

"He must be ready for an Academy Award also because I have not seen him. He must have an Oscar, when are they due? Dalglish joking.

"He was brilliant. For the players, he has been fantastic because he shares and educates everything with them.

"For punters, he shares everything they get – he shares the fun and the disappointment.

"Jurgen is the best person who can be present because it relates to everyone at the club. He does not stall and tries to do what he wants for himself. He does what is best for everyone. It has been wonderful for us to watch this year. With the support of everyone, they can reach the finish line. "

Dalglish did not feel the need to give Klopp any advice on what to expect in the months to come.

"I think he's well educated," he added. "I do not think he needs anyone to talk to him about Liverpool's expectations, as they probably fit his expectations."

"If someone asks for something when you're sitting down to have a cup of tea with them, you're going to make an answer. But I'm a dinosaur, he will not come and ask me. I do not think I would be fit anyway! "
