Liverpool fullback Enrique: I'm playing like a striker this season

Liverpool fullback Jose Enrique admits he's enjoyed his attacking role this season.

Enrique has returned to a more traditional left-back position in recent months - but with licence from his manager to attack at any and every opportunity.

"I have always been an attacking full-back but with this manager I'm even more," Enrique explained to Liverpoolfc.com.

"Against West Ham I played like a striker and a lot of the time I have been in the box. I really like this style of play.

"You have to defend less sometimes; you always enjoy it more when you attack than when you defend - that's normal. He has always said to me and Glen, and the other full-backs as well, that we have to play really high up the pitch.

"I really enjoy that because in the final third is where you enjoy it more."
