KENNY DALGLISH wants Fabio Capello to use his 'intelligence' when Steven Gerrard reports for England duty.
Gerrard is set to feature in the Euro 2012 qualifier in Montenegro on October 7 after a short but successful return with Liverpool after six months out with a groin injury.
Midfielder Gerrard, 31, suffered a hamstring injury towards the end of England's 2-1 friendly defeat to France last November.
It sparked an angry reaction from Anfield as they had expected Gerrard to play no more than an hour. Darren Burgess, Liverpool's head of fitness and conditioning, expressed his disgust on Twitter.
He wrote: "Unbelievable from all associated with England and English FA with regards to SG's injury.
"Completely ignored agreement and past history. Completely amateurish and now we pay for their incompetence. Absolutely disgraceful."
Now Dalglish wants Capello to go softly softly with Gerrard, who emerged unscathed after playing the last 15 minutes of Wednesday's 2-1 Carling Cup win at Brighton.
Dalglish said: "I don't pick England's team. But I would just hope that they're as intelligent as we have been."
