Craig Bellamy thinks that the Reds' attacking style of football under Kenny Dalglish "feels like Liverpool again".

Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy believes that the Reds' old style of playing attacking football has returned under Kenny Dalglish.

The 32-year-old, who completed a stint in Merseyside under Rafael Benitez before being sold in 2007, thinks that the club's return to the style that contributed to Liverpool's success in the 1960s and '70s is a welcome change.

"I'd never sound negative against Rafa or [Gerard] Houllier, because they did so much for the club and were outstanding for the club, but this is the Liverpool Football Club I grew up supporting," Bellamy told LFCTV.

"I watched the way they played towards the end of last season, the passing and moving, the free-flowing football. It felt like it was back.

"I don't want to sound critical towards Rafa or Houllier but under them it was more tactical and disciplined - hitting the opposition on the break. Now, this feels like Liverpool again."

The Reds take on Premier League leaders Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday.
