Steven Gerrard is relishing being Liverpool’s creative force from his new deeper role in the side.
The Reds skipper has dropped back in midfield this season to help accommodate the attacking trio of Daniel Sturridge, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho.
But Gerrard does not believe playing deeper has lessened his attacking impact on the side, something that was highlighted by the fact he claimed his third goal of the season in the weekend defeat to Hull City.
“If you play around good players, they make good movement and put themselves in good positions,” he told the club’s website.
“My job, and what the manager wants me to do from my position, is to try to create and be a playmaker in there.
“It’s important that we keep scoring from set-pieces, but also that we tighten up.”
