Cissokho happy with attacking Liverpool role

Aly Cissokho is enjoying his attacking role at Liverpool.

The France left-back is being fielded as an attacking wing-back.

"It's a role I like a lot," Cissokho told Liverpoolfc.com. "I can get up the field a lot, whilst remaining safe in terms of the three behind me. We have three defenders in line as flat backline, which gives me a lot of freedom.

"My natural position is a left-sided defender, so this freedom allows me to give everything I can to the team.

"We have midfielders who work in line, so it takes a lot of physical and cardio effort to get up the wing and track back in case of danger and to defend as well.

"I'm very happy to be back playing again after a difficult injury, especially coming as it did at the start of my season."
