Suarez made a long-awaited comeback for the Reds after completing his eight-match ban for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra in October.

Kenny says:We don't think he should ever have been away but we are delighted to get him back,"

Since he has not played from December it was bit early and unfair to throw him straight in.

Suarez will be in action face-to-face with Evra next weekend when Liverpool travel to Old Trafford in what promises to be an hostility Premier League clash.

Dalglish said: "I'm really pleased with the way the team played we kept them under a lot of pressure. We just needed the bounce of the ball to go our way and if we'd have got one I think we would have won it.

if you just get a kind bounce somewhere near the goalmouth, we might have walked away with the three points."
