When you've got the ball 65-70% of the time, it's a football death for the other team...It's death by football.

I have a senior staff meeting every day, with key personnel who interface with the players - coaches, the medical staff, our analyst department. This is a useful exercise as it means we are all across what is happening and they are aware of my expectations.

I think my history as a coach shows I like players who are gifted technically and have courage when it comes to being in possession of a football. That is a key quality for me.

The best players want to play in the best competition.

I was surprised we were playing in Manchester and have a referee from Greater Manchester.

Even more important than statistics is then having the staff that can take the data and ensure it's presented in a way that improves individuals and teams.

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.
