I think I've proven I can build a team that plays a way of football that excites and challenges at the top end of the table.

I hope when my time as Liverpool manager is over, I'm remembered as someone who improved the team and left the club in a better position than I inherited it.

Statistics and numbers are no good unless you have good people to analyse and then interpret their meaning and importance.

Look at Tottenham. You spend over £100-odd million, you'd expect to be challenging for the league.

It's the nature of it. The players will want to compete at the highest level they possibly can.

I enjoy my work. The reason I worked so hard all my life is because I want to be making big decisions and managing at the very highest level.

Liverpool Football Club is the heartland of football folklore
