The Blues legend heaped praise on Jurgen Klopp's attacking football after their Champions League opening game

Frank Lampard has heaped praise on Liverpool's attacking football while explaining what the Reds do better than any other team.

Liverpool kick-started their Champions League campaign by drawing 2-2 with Sevilla on Wednesday evening, but would have been disappointed not to have won.

High up the pitch they worked hard picking off their opponents, scoring goals and drawing fouls - one of which led to a penalty being awarded.

But at the back they failed to impress and gifted Sevilla two goals.

Speaking about Liverpool's attacking football on BT Sports after the game, Michael Owen said: "I thought they were brilliant for half an hour, 35 minutes in the first half.

"That was the best period of the game, scored a couple of goals in that period, this is Liverpool to a T, and they really needed that other goal, as we referred to, they missed a penalty.

"But this was premium play, one-twos are so hard to deal with. One touch play, fast play, and that's Liverpool at their best."

Frank Lampard agreed with the former Liverpool and Manchester United forward, adding: "They do it better than anyone. They play and move forward, they run forward and they're all doing it, it's so hard to defend against.

"Possession for possessions sake, you can defend against but when players play and run it's very hard to defend against."

Liverpool are back in action at the weekend when they play host to Burnley.

Klopp will be looking for a response to their 5-0 drubbing at the hands of Manchester City last time out in the Premier League.
