It's the nature of it. The players will want to compete at the highest level they possibly can.

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.

I'm blessed to be supported by some brilliant staff, who are all experts in their field and dedicated to what they do.

If you give a bad player time, he can play. If you give a good player time, he can kill you.

If you look at the world-class performers at the top of the game, their numbers are just exceptional and that is the level he is at.

They brought on someone who cost more than our stadium.

I will leave no stone unturned in my quest - and that quest will be relentless - to try and get Liverpool back on the map again as a successful football club.
