IAN RUSH: Liverpool FC should attack teams more often
IT was a fantastic to watch Liverpool make such light work of Sunderland. We did everything right from start to finish.[LNB]I was pleased to see us playing 20 yards further up the pitch.[LNB]It made a difference to the way we played, helping the players close the opposition down quicker and get the ball moving well.[LNB]That was all a consequence of deploying just one holding midfielder and bringing Steven Gerrard further back but with a licence to roam.[LNB]Previously, when we've been winning games, we've had a tendency to drop off and invite teams on to us. But on Sunday we just kept attacking.[LNB]The 3-0 scoreline actually flattered Sunderland.[LNB]It could have been much more with Daniel Agger, Gerrard and Fernando Torres all going close.[LNB]I'd like to see us play like this more often. [LNB]Of course, you won't get away with it against some of the stronger sides like Man United, Chelsea and Arsenal. But I see no reason why we shouldn't be playing like this against the teams we're expected to beat, especially at Anfield where we should be taking the game to the opposition.[LNB]It's entertaining and we know it's certainly effective.
