Speaking after Liverpool’s 4-3 victory over Swansea on Sunday lunchtime, Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that his team fully intend to attack teams from now until the end of the season.
Although Rodgers admits that his team could and probably should be tighter defensively, it is not something he will be actively encouraging “I think that’s not our style,” he said. “I worry always to play good football. I’m not totally satisfied with always grinding out results.
“Up to now we’ve got away with it. But at times we concede poor goals – it is mistakes or decision making that’s costing us.Â
“It was an important win for us,” he told Sky Sports. “We certainly weren’t at our best today but the offensive part of our game, which is very strong, came out on top again.
“Swansea played really, really well. Especially when we were 2-0 up to get back into the game.
“But it’s an outstanding result for us and the game typified the character of this team. We’ll analyse where we can be better and certainly as a team defensively, we can be 100 per cent better.
“But part of that, you give credit to Swansea. They had some moments of real quality. We showed our strengths. We’re a great team on the offence and we scored some brilliant goals today.”
Liverpool fans are in for an exciting ride until the end of the season and many may well question of attack is the best form of defence. However, the reds sit only 4 points of what would be a historic first Barclays Premier League title.
