“It’s like a game of chess. If you lose to a player who you know is not better than you then you must ask yourself why? That is what I have to understand and analysis at Liverpool.

\n“If I lose I won’t put my head down, I will put my head up and work harder. I know we are a better team than the teams that have beaten us this season so it is up to me to find a solution for the next time we play. I am working on the next game, but the future as well.

\n“If we lose I think, “That is not possible”, but I must try to understand why.

\n“It reminds me of a game I used to play when I was about 12 or 13. It was a military game called ‘Strategy’. You had 40 pieces – a general, lieutenants, surgeons, bombs – and you had to capture the other person’s flag. One time I lost so I spent all night thinking about the game and the strategy. Once I understood all the rules and the strategies I didn’t lose again.

\n“Nowadays me and my staff are spending 12, 14 hours a day trying to find the solutions to win every game for Liverpool. But in the end this is football, and if Laurent Robert puts a free-kick into the top corner when you have lined the wall up properly and the goalkeeper is in the right place there is nothing you can do about it.”
