Ings: Why I'm a good fit for LFC attack
Danny Ings believes his movement can help Liverpool's attacking midfielders do even more damage next season.
The 23-year-old has already shown glimpses of his old-school approach to centre-forward play during the Reds' pre-season trips to Thailand, Australia and Malaysia.
His first goal for the club since a summer move from Burnley, which came against Adelaide United, was the product of a dart in behind the back four and a cool finish when one on one with the goalkeeper.
And it is that sort of move which Ings believes can benefit those who line up behind him in Brendan Rodgers' team.
"After my knee injury [in 2012] I sort of devoted my whole time to working on my speed, my movement, and my creativity," he told Robbie Fowler in an exclusive interview now available on LFCTV GO.

"What I've found was really effective, even at Championship level, was making runs constantly in behind.
"As soon as a defender switches off that run in behind is so effective.
"As long as there's someone stretching the pitch and you've got your creative players behind you in that space - and you've got players at this football club to feed those runs - you can be an effective team.
"It's certainly something I'm looking forward to."
Ings also insisted there is still a place for a player like him in the modern game even if he is, as Fowler suggested, part of 'a dying breed'.
"I think with the way the game is going, it's full of creative players now, players who want to be on the ball all the time," he added.
"[But] I really do think, even if I don't touch the ball as much as those guys if I'm still stretching the game it's still as effective.
"It can all get too crunched and if you don't create space for those players in behind you then it's hard to create opportunities.
"I'll always work on my game and stretching in behind."
