The analysis of statistics is a big part of the modern game, and it's important as a modern manager to embrace areas that can help your team and players improve.

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

I dictate entirely how the team is prepared, and I am a hands-on coach; I love to be out there with the players taking the sessions.

I've always been one to arrive early for work; preparation is a big part of how I work, and I like to be in my office going through plans for the upcoming training sessions or meetings I have.

I'd rather lose a game trying to win it, than lose it trying not to get beat

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

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