Steven Gerrard has vowed to carry on operating as an attacking midfielder for Liverpool this season.
Gerrard, 32, worked well in a more defensive role for England during Euro 2012 but insists he still has the energy and power to drive forward and dismissed any notion that he should consider dropping back in the manner of Paul Scholes at Manchester United.
Instead, he wants to continue making the attacking runs from midfield that have been a key part of his game - and Liverpool's - since he broke into the team in 1998 and said he was ready to do that for new boss Brendan Rodgers when Liverpool start their Premier League season at West Brom on Saturday.

"The manager has spoken to me about what role he sees me filling and I still think he sees me as an attacking midfielder," Gerrard told the Liverpool Echo.
"As we work through the ages, maybe 33 or 34, then maybe I might be dropping a bit deeper, but I don't think anything is going to change in my game this season.
