The Reds lifted their first silverware for six years in the
Carling Cup final and have an FA Cup semi-final date with
Everton.
And Dalglish insists another Wembley win would still be an
excellent return considering how competitive the game is these
days.
Liverpool's faint hopes of finishing in the top four evaporated
when they let a 2-0 lead slip at QPR in midweek, losing 3-2.
But the Kop boss said: "The fact is we've won a trophy and
everyone really enjoyed it. It's not Swap Shop is it? We've got
what we've got.
"There's not a priority, and I think we have proved that in the
games we've played in the cups, whether it's been the FA Cup or the
Carling Cup.
"We've just gone out on the pitch for every game with the same
attitude — to try to win.
"Unfortunately we have not won as many games in the league as we
have done in the cup ties.
"Because the English teams have done well we've got a play-off
spot for the team who finishes fourth, so the rewards are
greater.
"But I think it's more difficult to be successful now because
there's more competition.
"You've got loads of people with money — and people who've been
at it for a lot longer than others who have a good back up of
players they have accumulated over the years.
"There have always been teams who have more finance than others.
But the difference between the financial clout at some clubs is a
lot more than it was in years gone by."
Liverpool have been infuriatingly inconsistent and Wednesday's
crazy collapse at Loftus Road sums up their season.
But Dalglish maintains his team are heading in the right
direction.
He added: "There has been progress — but we want more.
"Whether it's been at the rate of knots people anticipated I
don't know. You can't tell me you just thought they were going to
turn up and get everything they wanted in the first season.
"There were 18 players moved on last summer and a lot came in
who are in their first season. It was never going to be an
over-night sensation."
Dalglish, 61, insists he faces no problems lifting spirits for
today's match against Wigan — despite watching his side concede
three goals in the final 13 minutes at QPR.
He said: "How can they be demoralised when they have been
brilliant for 77 minutes?
"We won't erase what happened in the last 13 minutes but we will
need to learn from it.
"We have said that the last bit of progress is the hardest.
That's the phase we are in. We are just looking for the last bit to
click into place."
