The best players want to play in the best competition.

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.

The responsibility will always go with the manager - you put out the team.

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

I know how it goes. Six or seven months ago I was the manager of the year and I was going to be this and that, tactically this and tactically that, and now, because we have lost two world-class players, I am useless. But I accept that.

My template for everything is organisation. With the ball you have to know the movement patterns, the rotation, the fluidity and positioning of the team. When we have the football everybody's a player.

When you've got the ball 65-70% of the time, it's a football death for the other team...It's death by football.
