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.

I think football management has obviously changed and evolved in terms of practices and methods, but I would say the values we strive to hold are the same as great men like Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley.

I have a senior staff meeting every day, with key personnel who interface with the players - coaches, the medical staff, our analyst department. This is a useful exercise as it means we are all across what is happening and they are aware of my expectations.

They brought on someone who cost more than our stadium.

I can categorically tell you that Mario Balotelli will not be at Liverpool.

I'm blessed to be supported by some brilliant staff, who are all experts in their field and dedicated to what they do.

I will always fight for my life for Liverpool, and that will be on and off the field.
