Sticking to a routine helps you get in the zone for the match. I always put my left shinpad on before my right. When I go out onto the pitch, I take three hops on my left leg - but I don't know why I started. I must have seen Messi do it or something.

When you pick up injuries, you put yourself to the bottom of the pile for a bit and have to work yourself up.

I am really close to my mum. She always made me do my school and make sure I got all my grades. She is a physiotherapist, which is a massive help to me, so in terms of nutrition, she was the one who made sure I was eating all the right food, and I can only thank her that she kept me fit and healthy.

When I played in goal at Stamford Bridge, I realised that's not my best position.

My dad had a spell when he came out of coaching doing some work with underprivileged children on quite a rough council estate in Southampton to help the kids and take them out to places. I used to go along with him. I used to play football with them, mess about with them. I was only 13 or 14 and became good friends with them.

FA Cup or league - we look to win every game.

You become more aware of your body when you go through a long injury. You work on things you don't know about until you get injured, so different muscles.

Sometimes when I play on the wing, I have to remind myself to stay out wide because I tend to naturally drift in towards the ball. I try to get on the ball and make something happen.

Every time I come and try to work hard in training, and when I get opportunities, try to work hard and do the things the boss asks us to do.

All players go through injuries in their career, but I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

To beat City twice is no easy feat.

It's a mutual respect, especially a player like Neymar, a player of a similar age to me and someone I've got massive respect for what he's done in world football.

When I play in central midfield, that's my favourite position.

I think I play with no fear: I run at players regardless of who they are and try to make a difference.

I am the type of person who relishes the chance to stand up and perform under pressure; I have had to do that my whole career.

When I've watched teams that play with five at the back and wing-backs, I've looked at their starting positions and positions out of possession because that comes a little bit more unnaturally to me.

I think friendship in football is a massive part of the team.

At a massive club like Liverpool, people will come and go. It is our job to keep the wheels moving and momentum going.
