Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson says his approach to the game is mirrored by his new club's traditions.
Hodgson, 62, wants to get back to the Liverpool tradition created by Bill Shankly in the 1960s - and continued by Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish in the 70s and 80s.
He said: "All the things I've always liked are the things Liverpool were famous for in their heyday.
"Pass and move, always move it quickly and once you lose it get back in to position.
"That was the mantra which took Liverpool through their great years.
"I like a high-tempo passing game. I like players to work hard, I like players to get back in position. Those are my principles. I was influenced by the Liverpool team which dominated the 70s with all its great players and playing the football they played.
"Also the Arsenal team of 1970-71 with Don Howe, who I thought was an exceptional coach, and the Chelsea team around about the same era of Dave Sexton.
"All those teams, for me, played football the way I was hoping to coach a football team to play.
"And they're also teams who had great success in playing that way and had managers and coaches who I as a young coach thought I could learn from."
