The fact I've played well means that on a personal level I have enjoyed the season.

You've got to take responsibility and to do everything in your power to get results. Hopefully players look at that and try and follow it.

I have always applied myself the same for club and country.

Hopefully it'll give us a bit of luck on the night, but I'm not really a superstitious person.

There's no doubt that the squad needs strengthening if we are to get back up among the top three because they are operating on another level to us at the moment.

I was always determined to make it as a footballer, but if things hadn't worked out, I'd have maybe followed my dad into the building industry.

This club is all about winning trophies and we've got a chance of bringing the greatest trophy of them all back to Anfield, so it means a great deal obviously.
