Kenny Dalglish claims that poor decisions from the officials cost his Liverpool team dearly in their 2-2 draw with Everton at Anfield.

Liverpool were rampant in the first half, deservedly claiming a 1-0 lead through Raul Meireles, before coming off the rails at the start of the second period, conceding goals to Sylvain Distin and Jermaine Beckford.

Beckford's strike looked the more contentious of the two, with Martin Kelly lying prone when the goal went in after an aerial clash with Victor Anichebe, but Dalglish also took issue with the first - Distin beating Martin Skrtel in the air to nod in at the back post.

"The luck has not gone for us at certain moments," he said. "It's a blatant goal kick for the first one - but we should still be able to defend the corner - and it's a blatant free-kick for the second one as well."

After the match, which saw Dirk Kuyt's penalty rescue a point for Liverpool, Dalglish reiterated that he is in the dark over transfer plans during the January window - although he conceded he was planning to hold talks with the club's owners, John Henry and Tom Werner.

"I don't have a clue [on transfers] - John and Tom are good people. I'm sure we'll sit down and talk, and whether it'll involve transfers, I don't know," Dalglish said. "If there's money available, fine, if there's not, then I would have taken the job if offered this set of players - so if we have to plod on, we plod on. If there's going to be someone coming in it's got to be better than what we've got, and there's a few good ones here."
