Of course, as manager, the selection of the team is very much one of the biggest responsibilities I personally take, but I come to that decision thanks to advice and support of the people around me.

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.

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.

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

It's not always plain sailing... especially when you're flying!

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.
