Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez: We are an attacking team
Barring an Arsenal victory at Manchester United on Saturday, Liverpool will go into Sunday's clash with West Brom at The Hawthorns with their title hopes over for another campaign.
But Liverpool are ending the season in top form having scored three or more goals in each of their last six fixtures.
Benitez's team have also broken the 100-goal barrier in all competitions for the second successive season and the Anfield manager insists that the statistics prove his team's attacking credentials.
He said: "I don't think people realise how important it is to keep the balance, but because we are organised, some people say we are not an attacking team.
"It's so clear we are an attacking team and a very good attacking team.
"I think it's always important to score goals, but to score 119 last year and now over 100 I think it's very good.
"It's not just the strikers as we have a lot of players who have scored for us.
"That is very good and it means the team has a very good offensive mentality and we still keep the balance and defend well. That is important for winning."
Liverpool have taken six points from United in the Premier League this season and spent much of the campaign without the injured Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard.
But Benitez claims that Liverpool cannot allow themselves to think of what might have been had the pair been fully fit throughout the campaign.
He said: "You cannot imagine if Gerrard and Torres had been fit all season where we would be now.
"It has been a good season but you know it could be better.
"United are a strong team and have a good team. They have a good squad which is important because when you are talking about the league you are talking about nine months."
