It was a big step towards winning it today. We got the result, we're nearly there.
It should not matter where he comes from. Just someone to win matches.
We know we're not quite there yet, last year was a fantastic day for us here. It was a big step towards winning it today. We're the ones nine points clear and as long as we do our job we're going to win the league. We got the result, we're nearly there.
Hopefully, we will win tonight and so reach the Champions League final. If that happens and I have the foot done straight afterwards, that would rule me out of the England tour,
Liverpool's strength in the Champions League last season was not conceding goals away from home. Maybe in the league they'll come out a bit more. Winning is more of a necessity for them.
We got the result and we're nearly there. I think we probably need to win two games and we are going to try to do that.
I think about all my successes and failures, and sometimes the failures stick in your head as much as the wins. But you do move on.
You remember the finals you lose as much as the ones you win.
Those records are great but we're not thinking about the home record going. We're just thinking about how we're going to put it right. It's up to us.
We want to do it as soon as we can. It will be a very tough game and we are not thinking we have won it yet.
You get to the stage where every little bit of criticism that comes to you, you use to make you stronger, ... We get it from a lot of angles now and we hope to answer it by success.
I wouldn't say what was said got under our skin. There were things said before the last Champions League game and we felt we had been talked about it a bad way. But we put it right in the league game up there which is the main place to do your talking.
We were concerned because no one wants to go 1-0 down at home, but it was always going to happen. We were always going to concede at some stage and it was about our reaction, which was spot on.
The pitch will be full of players who are capable of changing the course of the game.
