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

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 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.

I meet regularly with my staff to ensure they are aware of what I want, but also to make sure they have the chance to influence the process and use all of their knowledge to help prepare the group.

My days tend to be packed, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I enjoy my work, and it is a privilege to do what I do.

It's not always plain sailing... especially when you're flying!

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