That ability to press immediately, within five or six seconds to get the ball, is important

The Merseyside derby games are unique in the city.

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 biggest mentor is myself because I've had to study, so that's been my biggest influence.

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.

If one day I go to a game and I don't feel I can win, maybe I don't go.

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