You have to be physical - that's the way it is in a midfield in the modern game.

People have always thought of me as a passer of the ball, but you can't just be that these days.

I have always passed the ball and worked on that part of my game.

In the past I've had a bad injury, and then struggled when I've got back because I've been unfit.

But what goes on in my life outside of the game should be my business.

We need to win something for the fans because they have been patient and very understanding and we owe them.
