Daniel Sturridge has admitted that he is frustrated at playing in a wing role for Liverpool.
Sturridge bagged two goals for the Reds during a substitute appearance in their EFL Cup win over Burton Albion in midweek.
But the England striker insists that he is better suited to being in a defined centre-forward role rather than on the right-hand side of an attacking triumvirate.
He said: “Of course it’s more difficult for me to play wide because I am a centre-forward.
“Obviously in the modern day game you have to try to be flexible. But everyone knows that is my best position.
“Everyone knows where I enjoy playing the most. I am a player who plays on instinct.
“When I’m in the middle I have clarity on movements and things that I have been been doing for years. You do them on auto pilot.
“You just do things because you are used to doing them. Out wide, thumb it’s different. You have to worry about different things. It’s a different way of playing.
“I have to do a job for the team. I am not saying I am happy to do it, I am saying I have to do a job for the team. It’s a team game. If I am put in that position then I have to play there.”
