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

I will always fight for my life for Liverpool, and that will be on and off the field.

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

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.

Status does not matter. It is what you are like as a player. It doesn't matter how much money you have come for. That doesn't matter to me. I will play a 17-year-old if he fights and he has quality. It is quite easy.

A player's character is a crucial factor I look into before committing to signing them. They also need to show a willingness to learn, regardless of age and experience; that's very important to me.

Look at Tottenham. You spend over £100-odd million, you'd expect to be challenging for the league.
