I know how it goes. Six or seven months ago I was the manager of the year and I was going to be this and that, tactically this and tactically that, and now, because we have lost two world-class players, I am useless. But I accept that.

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.

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.

Liverpool Football Club is the heartland of football folklore

I hope when my time as Liverpool manager is over, I'm remembered as someone who improved the team and left the club in a better position than I inherited it.

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.

I'm never going to walk away because I'll always have belief that I can improve players and make things better.
