We don't destroy our heroes today when we worshipped them yesterday.

Our job is to make the fans happy. When we win, 45,000 people go home happy. When we lose, it not only affects them, it affects their cats.

To me, the team is more important than any individual member of the squad, and the players have to realise that and accept that my priority is to pick a side with the best possible chance of winning each match.

I want to keep an English heart to the team. I believe in that. Michael Owen is that. Never think Michael is afraid of anything.

When I see the Bill Shankly statue, I look at the sentiment on the base. It says: 'He made the people happy’. Well now the modern Liverpool is making the fans and the city happy. And that makes me so proud.

We don't destroy our heroes today when we worshipped them yesterday.

Liverpool players must play like a lion, give his all. There must be determination, commitment and resolve to be a Liverpool player.
