The Reds boss believes the "ordeal" of making an Anfield debut played a part in his side's 1-1 draw against the Black Cats and feels Richardson should have seen red early on.
Four summer signings - Jose Enrique, Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam and Stewart Downing - made their Liverpool debuts at Anfield on Saturday.
"The four boys who came in would have had nerves. It's a big ordeal coming out to play your first game at Anfield, especially for Jose Enrique who only signed yesterday," Dalglish said. "I thought they all did something in the game that you will remember them for. We are happy with them and they will improve."
Liverpool took the lead in the 12th minute through Luis Suarez's glancing header but was pegged back by a fierce volley from Sebastian Larsson 12 minutes after the restart. The Liverpool players appeared to tire in the second half.
