Liverpool's No.9, who was in blistering form against West Ham at the weekend, told LFC Weekly magazine: "Under Rafa I've started to play much more in the middle. I've scored a lot of goals from this position, rather than playing further out towards the wings.
"I like to play between the centre-backs and keep them busy and leave some space for the midfielders. That can make it easier for me to receive a pass when we attack.
"You have to play to your strengths. I don't know how to play in another position. Striker is the right position for me.
"Maybe I don't have the same qualities as Stevie to play between the lines or like Yossi to come in from the wing through the middle.
"I guess it is the same for players like Emmanuel Adebayor or Didier Drogba. If they were to play on the wing or in between or behind the lines, they may not be the same players as when they play as a striker.
"But from the first day I arrived here, I have always been improving.
"I am a better player now than when I was at Atletico. I hope to continue to keep improving with the manager and my teammates who can all help me get better and better."
