John Aldridge scored 63 goals in his 104 appearances for Liverpool so he knows a thing or two about what makes a good forward.
In his Liverpool Echo column, Aldo compared young Ings to the way that he and all-time Liverpool top scorer Ian Rush tore back fours apart in the 1980s.
"Liverpool’s goalscorer (Ings) played like a 1980s throwback, running, chasing, harrying and closing down Norwich defenders throughout. He reminded me of Rushie and myself in the 1980s, refusing to give defenders a minute’s peace.
"He showed a wonderful attitude which was both refreshing and infectious. He came on at half-time and brought the crowd to life and lifted the players around him, too. And he’s got quality too. His movement was excellent, he took his goal very well and did everything that could have been asked of him."
No pressure then.
