Kenny Dalglish believes it is only a matter of time until Liverpool reap the rewards of their endeavour in front of goal.

The Reds boss watched on as his side racked up 29 shots at home to Norwich City, only to come away with a 1-1 draw.

However, the Scot remains upbeat about his players' performances so far this season and feels a turn in fortune will see them hit the goal trail.

"I think we've been brilliant in creating the chances," Dalglish said. "It's a huge pleasure for us that we're creating that many chances. So we'll look at the positives.

"The finishing side? Obviously we've got to add to it. But when you look at the facts and figures and reflect on what they've actually done and what they've actually created, you wouldn't bet against scoring five or six on any given day, just not today."

"I just keep waiting for our luck to change," added Dalglish. "As soon as our luck changes we'll be all right. And that's all it is.

"You can't say that we played badly in any of the games. I don't think anybody could say we played badly or that we didn't deserve more than what we got from all of those games. I don't think there's a game yet where we've taken more from the game than we actually deserved?

"Obviously I'd prefer both (to create chances and finish them). But we'll remain positive. Obviously yourselves you'll look at the chances missed, we'll look at the chances created, and there's a team (Norwich) that's gone to Manchester United three weeks ago and come away unlucky, with no points.

"Maybe they got the luck there today. It will certainly have been a more difficult game for them today than what it was at Old Trafford. We just want to finish off (our chances) and let the boys get their reward, they definitely deserve it."

Meanwhile, Dalglish believes the return to fitness of Steven Gerrard will provide Jordan Henderson with the perfect role model.

The boss has been delighted by the former Sunderland man's conduct since his summer arrival and reckons he will only improve by working with the skipper day in, day out.

"There certainly isn’t anyone better for Jordan to learn from," he added.

"If he takes something out of Stevie’s book, I look forward to seeing that. Stevie's return helps everyone."
