It has been a phenomenal week for Kenny Dalglish as his Liverpool side literally have gone from a low to quite an incredible high in the space of seven days. A shocking defeat at the Reebok has been followed by a cup double on the Manchester sides, with victory against City giving them the Reds their first Wembley appearance since 1996. Dirk Kuyt was the hero this afternoon and scoring against the old enemy and securing the club’s passage to the 5th Rd of the FA Cup was the perfect way for the football club to end his barren spell.

This week at Football FanCast we have witnessed a mix bag of blogs that include the ideal way to fast-track Liverpool’s development; Kenny looks to tempt Madrid into a loan move, while Lucas provides the missing ingredient that is costing the Reds dear.

"It's been a great week for us in the end, even though it started so badly at Bolton. We are in the Carling Cup final and the next round of the FA Cup, and though I was critical of the players a week ago, full credit to them for getting back on track with two really big wins." Dalglish was talking to the BBC
