Kenny Dalglish believes his Liverpool side are no longer over-dependent on any one or two players, claiming he now has 'plenty of options'.
Previously the Reds were very much described as a two-man team under captain Steven Gerrard and former Anfield favourite Fernando Torres.
But, under Dalglish, things have been different with Torres now sold and Gerrard being injured for much of his reign.
And Dalglish is delighted that he possesses enough options at his disposal to show Liverpool can cope without anyone.
"The more options you have, the better it is for everyone. I don't know what it was before," said Dalglish.
"In any team you are going to have players who shine more than others.
"Successful teams are the ones with the greatest number of options going forward. It is great credit to them and the confidence and belief they have in themselves. They have built that up themselves with their results.
"Where you get your ammunition from doesn't really matter, but the more choices you have, the stronger you are going to be.
"Results give you belief. If you can't believe in each other on the pitch then you are going to have a problem.
"Everyone feeds off the success of the team. Different people get a lift in different ways, and not everyone can score a goal.
"The most important thing is the players who aren't playing and how they react. It's easy to enjoy training when you are playing every week and getting results.
"The hard part is for those not playing as often as they would be at other clubs. When they come in with a positive attitude it lifts the whole place."
