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.

Statistics and numbers are no good unless you have good people to analyse and then interpret their meaning and importance.

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

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

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.

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

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