Henry flies in to meet Kenny Dalglish

Reviewing Liverpool’s performance against their fierce rivals, though, will form just one part of a packed agenda likely to be dominated by the urgent need to furnish his caretaker manager with reinforcements.

Despite Dalglish’s insistence after last night’s defeat to Blackpool that he had yet to speak with either FSG or Damien Comolli, the club’s Director of Football Strategy and the man responsible for recruitment, over strengthening his squad, he is likely to take the opportunity of meeting with Henry to establish what funds are available.
