Liverpool owner John W Henry has reportedly forced a written evaluation from manager Kenny Dalglish regarding the reasons behind the Reds' Premier League crisis.

The Merseyside club have endured a torrid period in the domestic league, taking just one victory in seven matches.

It is believed that the club's owners, Fenway Sports Group, have requested that Dalglish, assistant manager Steve Clarke and director of football Damien Comolli write separate reasons on the demise of the side's league form, according to the Express.

Reports have claimed that the Scottish boss is safe from losing his job but that a response is needed in order to salvage the Reds' domestic season.
