Competition can only make you as an individual better and let you perform better, it can only be a positive thing.

I have to keep doing my job every single week in, week out.

There is no point making ourselves nervous before a match.

You always try to take the positives and negatives out of the game.

Sometimes you learn more when you get beat 4-0 than in games you won.

When you play at home in the Europa League, you want to win the game.

If you concede a goal, it can be up to seven or eight mistakes leading up to it but, obviously, as a goalkeeper you have to accept it has gone past you.

You have just got to make sure you do your job in the best possible way.

You have to look at yourself and make sure you give your best in training and in your performances. That is what I will keep doing.

If you come away with a 1-1 result, that's obviously a disappointing feeling. You start to look at what you could have done better.

I don't think anyone on the planet doesn't get angry!

Every single game you play you learn as a keeper and become a better keeper.

Whether I'm No.2 or No.3 doesn't matter. Playing time is the most important thing.

Especially as a goalkeeper, when you are closed down, you have to make a decision in a split second, and sometimes it is better to make the wrong one rather than wait and see what's happening.

I don't want to be a number two, that's clear. I want to play.

I can't say to the gaffer 'well I haven't played for three months, I'm not ready!' That doesn't work. I have to work as I would, or even harder probably in training so that if anything happens I am 100 per cent ready to come in.

Every day in training, we will try to work to keep improving the things we can do and maintaining the levels we're at.

Well, the only pressure is what you put yourself under.

There are always people you can turn to for help and advice. Former coaches, people I used to play with in Belgium and in England. It is good to have people you can look to for support, but in the end you are out on the pitch on your own and you have to come through it for yourself.

Everyone remembers the shot you couldn't stop.
