The Reds have notched nine goals in their last three league outings as they continue to close in on a European spot.
Dalglish is delighted by his side's recent for in front of goal but has also been keen to salute the role of a defence that has conceded just once during the same period.
"It is important for us that we don't lose goals at the back," said the Reds boss.
"It is important for Pepe (Reina), who has been fantastic in the last few months or so.
"He has really commanded his area; he wasn't as busy in the 5-0 win over Birmingham as he has been in other games but he was very confident and that helps us.
"For us, from the goalkeeping position through the team there are positives there for everyone."
Meanwhile, Dalglish is confident Liverpool now have a management structure in place that can help restore the club to its glory years.
The Reds boss admits he was delighted by Fenway Sports Group's decision to promote Damien Comolli to director of football and Ian Ayre to managing director last month.
The Scot feels the move will see Liverpool take a significant step forward but accepts their success in the transfer market can only be measured in the years to come.
"The structure is great now with Ian as managing director and Damien as director of football," said Dalglish.
"We said at the time they were two great appointments by the club. As for transfers, it remains to be seen. We have Andy and Luis in and they have done very well but it is only two. We need to wait a few years before we judge it but certainly they are two positive appointments."
The double swoop for Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll during the January transfer window looks to have been sound business as the duo have made an impressive start to life at Anfield.
Dalglish reckons a full pre-season will see the pair reach even greater heights but is aware Suarez's involvement may be delayed by this summer's Copa America.
He said: "Most players are better after a pre-season with their new club and that will apply to Andy and Luis next year."
He added: "Luis will be away until 24 July if Uruguay get to the final.
"It's not helpful but there's nothing we can do about it and we just have to get on with it. The competition is there and it's a huge event for the South Americans and we've got to respect that."
