As a goalkeeper, you learn from the guys you work with.

As a goalkeeper, you learn from the guys you work with.

You want to play in the big games, you want to play for a big club and to play with pressure.

When you play for Liverpool Football Club, who have won so many trophies both domestically and on the continent, you always have to believe that you can go all the way.

When you are 30 years old, you want to play football.

You know when you play a good game and you know when you play a bad game.

There seemed to be a feeling that switching from the Belgian league to the Premier League was too big a step and therefore too big a risk. It needed a few players to prove otherwise then it paved the way for others.

You get a good win, you take extra confidence into the next game and it shows in the result. You end up with a snowball effect. You are in a rhythm where everything is going well. But, if you start losing games, one thing can lead to another in a bad way and, if you begin to believe nothing is going for you, it can be dangerous.

As a goalkeeper, you are only remembered for your last game.

We take each game as it comes and just focus on the objective. All we can do is our best.

It is not in my character to not give 100 percent.

I don't agree that there are big teams and small teams in the Premier League. There are just a lot of good teams.

I just play my game the best I can and if the team needs my help I'll try to do it.

I always prepare myself in the same manner and when the opportunity comes along you have to grasp it.

When I was younger I would play in front of crowds as small as 500 in the second division in Belgium, so I know what that's like. It might be easier in terms of pressure, but believe me, I would always prefer to be at a packed Anfield playing against Manchester United. That's why you want to become a footballer.

I can only do my best, work hard, be positive and confident and I believe in myself. That is the only thing I can do.

Every time you concede a goal, you don't have to put a hammer to your head.

When you are in a good frame of mind then the performance is going to be better.

Especially for the goalkeeper, you have to feel the confidence of every staff member and the team.

When you're by yourself you have to sort out everything like the shopping and looking after the house.
