We had to battle after that. But it was a great, open game. |
We have accepted the situation. |
We have had European teams - and many Premiership teams - come here and never show anything like the kind of positive attitude they did. Their fans can be proud of them. |
We have to make sure we're the closest team to Chelsea in case they slip up and winning on Tuesday is going to be important to that quest. |
We hope that this is the platform he can shine on because he has the ability, he has the temperament and he has the guts for it. But we could have a magnificent performance from Rooney and still not go through. |
We need a miracle now of course and it has given a great boost to Chelsea. But we can't give up because we have come too far to give up. We're still a very good team. |
We started the game badly, but Liverpool can play for five minutes and win a game. |
We're delighted, it's absolutely brilliant news. |
Wes has trained all week and I am happy that he is now another option for me. Everyone else in the squad is fit and OK to play. |
Wes is an outstanding candidate to go to the World Cup. I have always felt when Wes is fit, he is the best natural defender in the game. |
When I first came down here they were quite meaty games then, with people like Norman Whiteside and Steve McMahon playing. The amazing thing to my mind is that since the Premiership started, I can't think of a game that's really got out of hand. It's always the game I look forward to the most. It reflects my reason for being here. I knew what I had to do when I came here. The challenge was Liverpool and we did it. For me it's got a special significance. |
When we are at our best the fans are right behind us, and that's the only thing that should matter. |
When we were at our very best, we had four great strikers. |
When you reach 64 the one thing is your health and in that respect I feel great right now. When anyone gets to my age the hope is you will be all right the next day. That's the way I look at it anyway. |
Why should I worry about that? |
