My biggest mentor is myself because I've had to study, so that's been my biggest influence.

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

I think my history as a coach shows I like players who are gifted technically and have courage when it comes to being in possession of a football. That is a key quality for me.

The Merseyside derby games are unique in the city.

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

I’ve always said that you can live without water for many days, but you can’t live for a second without hope.
