« It’s about keeping that head level, it’s about staying focused, it’s about showing that character and bringing to the table that perseverance and that quality, that desire and the pace of work every game
« If you don’t bring that and release the gas, you’ll be discovered and Steven Gerrard knows it. They’re still in Europe so this is a time when they’re going to be put to the test from the point of view of their physical form, their character, but Steven Gerrard has been there
« That’s the only good thing they have, a manager who’s been there and played that and has been through that every day of his life at Liverpool so you can’t get better advice where it’s coming from now with Steven Gerrard and Gary McAllister «
