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.I was pleased to see us playing 20 yards further up the pitch.It made a difference to the way we played, helping the players close the opposition down quicker and get the ball moving well.That was all a consequence of deploying just one holding midfielder and bringing Steven Gerrard further back but with a licence to roam.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.The 3-0 scoreline actually flattered Sunderland.It could have been much more with Daniel Agger, Gerrard and Fernando Torres all going close.I'd like to see us play like this more often. 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.It's entertaining and we know it's certainly effective.
