I don't really care, if somebody boos me or boos the team, we're trying to win the game.

You have to, you need to be hard with each other. When things aren't going right you need to tell each other, otherwise it's going to be too easy.

All the players in the league, I think, want to play for trophies, want to get trophies.

I am very hard on myself. I know the slightest loss of concentration, the slightest mistake will be punished. I try to limit it as much as possible.

I'm a big fan of 'Prison Break' - I've watched it eight times.

There is always room for improvement in our game.

The main thing is to try to put in your head that we all start from the bottom.

You need to have dreams, you need to go for it, otherwise why would you be a footballer?

Life is too short to be negative.

Why make things difficult? Why have tough times when it's not necessary?

To get the PFA Player of the Year is a fantastic honour. It's the highest honour you can get because it's voted by your fellow peers.

We can't always play the perfect game.

I hate losing, like everyone else.

I don't fear anyone.

You have pundits and fans from other teams who will say loads of things and it goes past me. That's life.

I have a very similar connection with Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool as I had earlier with Ronald Koeman at Southampton.

You need to be aware of the qualities of every striker you face, as I always am, but sometimes you need to be smart and more than 100% ready for anything.

If I watch big games like the Champions League on TV then I'm definitely watching what different centre-backs are doing in certain situations.

The Champions League is unbelievably big. The whole show before, the fans, the players you play against, the people who are going to watch the game, the pressure - it's very special.

I think the mindset is always to think that you are never going to play pain-free.
