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.

In football there is very rarely a "typical day" - there are always issues and challenges that arise from nowhere, and as manager you have to be ready to deal with them.

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

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

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.

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.
