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

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

I was surprised we were playing in Manchester and have a referee from Greater Manchester.

In football there is very rarely a "typical day" - there are always issues and challenges that arise from nowhere, and as manager you have to be ready to deal with them.

My days tend to be packed, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I enjoy my work, and it is a privilege to do what I do.

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.

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.
