Everyone's disappointed when they don't feel like they play well or they make a mistake. I'm the first one to hold my hand up and try and rectify that in training or the next game.

As a kid I played in tournaments and my team won trophies but in my professional career I've not won anything yet. I'm hungry to get a medal around my neck.

Every player usually watches their clips back of how they play: mistakes, duels, things that are specific for your game. I wanted to be proud of that and I wanted to see it in person, I suppose, because in the past I have had a lot of criticism for things that I have done.

Fifty points at home and 50 points away is unheard of as a team and I'd love to keep improving.

I've never hidden away from mistakes or the good things as well.

I was such a big football fan in general, I just watched as many games as I could and I picked up things from every game.

I definitely played on a lot of muddy northern pitches.

I've had some nice messages after games from players who I haven't spoken to before. I won't name people and drop them in it, but I've had messages from opposition strikers and defenders saying that they respect and love the way I play, telling me to keep doing it and not to change the way I am.

But you grow more knowledgeable during the time you play in the Premier League. Every new manager, new chapter, has been a learning curve.

You've got to be harsh on yourself because it is the only way you are going to get better by studying those situations where you may have fallen short.
