I MIGHT raise a few eyebrows with this view, but I think the football Liverpool have been playing under Brendan Rodgers is the best we have seen at Anfield since the team I played in during the late 1980s.

That's not to say the team is as good, of course, but their commitment to passing football, the variety in their play and the way in which they attack teams is a joy to watch at times.

I know Brendan has spoken at length about the kind of style he wants to implement at the club, and I know he has faced one or two problems in terms of assembling a team that can play that way, but I think the signs are there now that this team have cracked the code.

They go forward as well as any team in the league. They might have one or two defensive flaws to iron out – and how much will they miss Jamie Carragher next season, by the way – but at the other end they are a thrilling team to watch.
