Bellamy: The Liverpool way is back

Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy believes that the Reds' old style of playing attacking football has returned under Kenny Dalglish.

The 32-year-old, who completed a stint in Merseyside under Rafael Benitez before being sold in 2007, thinks that the club's return to the style that contributed to Liverpool's success in the 1960s and '70s is a welcome change.

"I'd never sound negative against Rafa or [Gerard] Houllier, because they did so much for the club and were outstanding for the club, but this is the Liverpool Football Club I grew up supporting," Bellamy told LFCTV.

"I watched the way they played towards the end of last season, the passing and moving, the free-flowing football. It felt like it was back.

"I don't want to sound critical towards Rafa or Houllier but under them it was more tactical and disciplined - hitting the opposition on the break. Now, this feels like Liverpool again."

The Reds take on Premier League leaders Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday.
