Liverpool boss praises "formidable" QPR

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has hailed Queens Park Rangers manager Neil Warnock, insisting that he has done "brilliantly" with the West London side.

The newly-promoted Premier League team are 12th in the table and have recorded a famous victory over Chelsea already this term.

"He is the same away from the cameras and microphones, although he doesn't really like to be too far away from them - I think he enjoys them a bit more than some," Dalglish told the club's official website. "He is a good character, it's great that he is in the Premier League and it was a fantastic way for them to come up as champions.

"He has done brilliantly and although they got off to a bad start, he has spent the money the new owner gave him wisely and they've kicked on. They're a formidable side, it's great for him and I'm sure he's enjoying himself. I look forward to having a drink with him after the game."

The two sides face off at Anfield on Saturday.
