Football is the most entertaining game in the world to watch because it's end to end with lots of things happening.

I think if you're raising your foot high whether it's an overhead kick or not, you're risking a red card.

When you go into the really big games you look at your team and think 'where are we weak, where are we vulnerable.'

It's very hard to retain the Premier League.

Liverpool are a very hard team to beat in front of their own crowd.

It's the one that the players fear. The No 1 is the ACL - the anterior cruciate ligament - closely followed by a real tear of the hamstring, because you know that's the one injury that kids you.

Some people can get there in three or four games, some need eight or nine, but after 11 games, if you've been playing regularly, you're match-fit.

I'm not sure about Richarlison. I like him, I liked him when he was at Watford and he started well at Everton but would his preferred position be out on the left and cutting in? I'm not sure.

As a manager, when you can't get your first target do you go and spend on your second, third, fourth choice?

You have to defend properly.

The crowd are more understanding at Anfield than at any other football ground.

People always have game plans to take care of Ronaldo, but very few people succeed in keeping him quiet for 90 minutes.

When you play at home in European football, you've got to come up with a happy balance where you get on the front foot and try to win it without leaving yourself vulnerable.

I don't think anybody is looking at Mario Balotelli and thinking 'I'm going to work as hard as him.'

Anfield is a unique place to play on European nights.

You can Google how many goals a player has scored in the last few seasons, or against this particular side, but our job is to point the viewers to something that is happening in the game that they may not have seen or thought of.

When you're a player, you only really have to look after yourself. And then you go into management, and you've got 30 players' welfare to keep an eye on.

I found that being top put all the pressure on second place, not first. The focus is on the second-place team, who can't afford to slip up again.

Liverpool will always be a very special place to me.

The one thing I learnt going to Italy was there's no real change in how the game should be played, but how players look after themselves.

I got the Liverpool job when I was 38.

You never forget when you beat - or when you lose - to your city rival.

Don't get me wrong, growing up in Edinburgh, I was all too familiar with the Hibs and Hearts rivalry. My father grew up in Leith - Hibee territory - just off of Easter Road on Albert Street.

I first learned what a rivalry really was at White Hart Lane.
