Even more important than statistics is then having the staff that can take the data and ensure it's presented in a way that improves individuals and teams.

Status does not matter. It is what you are like as a player. It doesn't matter how much money you have come for. That doesn't matter to me. I will play a 17-year-old if he fights and he has quality. It is quite easy.

I must have just dreamed that about Liverpool playing 3-4-3. What do people think that was, a bit of luck? A British coach playing 3-4-3? A foreign coach doing that would be a tactical genius. I imagine people think I fell into that system through a stroke of luck or something... it took some thought. I didn't just throw them out there.

They brought on someone who cost more than our stadium.

A player's character is a crucial factor I look into before committing to signing them. They also need to show a willingness to learn, regardless of age and experience; that's very important to me.

If you look at the world-class performers at the top of the game, their numbers are just exceptional and that is the level he is at.

Whilst I'm here, I'll always do the best I can.
