My aim is to play as many games as possible and to go out and be one of the 11 players again.

Our two biggest rivals had adjusted their whole season to this one aim of beating us. Of course, it is a big compliment that they were so motivated to stop us but it was very tough to face two matches like that so close together. Suddenly three trophies are down to one.

Behind every kick of the ball there has to be a thought.

My goals in Holland were known as 'stiffies', which means something quite different in England of course.

Playing football was like being trapped in a rhythm, and my whole career was like that. You have very little time to switch off.

It will be a hard game if you think about winning a championship. We need to think about our own game at the moment and focus on getting good results especially over the Christmas period.

I don't want to lose myself in football and that's what a coach has to do to be successful.
