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.

I believe a young player will run through a barbed wire fence for you. An older player looks for a hole in the fence, he’ll try and get his way through it some way, but the young player will fight for you.

The analysis of statistics is a big part of the modern game, and it's important as a modern manager to embrace areas that can help your team and players improve.

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

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

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