When I play out wide and maybe score a goal, that's my favourite position.

When I played in goal at Stamford Bridge, I realised that's not my best position.

When you have watched someone long enough, you know what they can do.

I am old enough and wise enough and I have been around long enough to know that things will be said - and not nice things a lot of the time. And when you are doing well, nice things will be said.

I can take so much from someone like Mo Salah.

I have been playing for England since I was 18, and while I wouldn't say I took it all for granted, it just seemed to be a part of my season - to play for Arsenal and to play for England.

Obviously, there's times in your career when people doubt you.

You have good form, bad form, get criticised, get bigged up. You go through spells of trying to find out how much to listen to, what not to pay too much attention to.

I am really close to my mum. She always made me do my school and make sure I got all my grades. She is a physiotherapist, which is a massive help to me, so in terms of nutrition, she was the one who made sure I was eating all the right food, and I can only thank her that she kept me fit and healthy.

My dad had a spell when he came out of coaching doing some work with underprivileged children on quite a rough council estate in Southampton to help the kids and take them out to places. I used to go along with him. I used to play football with them, mess about with them. I was only 13 or 14 and became good friends with them.

At a massive club like Liverpool, people will come and go. It is our job to keep the wheels moving and momentum going.

You want to play as much as possible, but I am not the type of character to go bursting walls down.

It's a mutual respect, especially a player like Neymar, a player of a similar age to me and someone I've got massive respect for what he's done in world football.

You see the likes of the Barcelonas and Real Madrids, and you always want to play against them and, obviously, Bayern Munich too.

Obviously, the big teams create the bigger atmosphere around the stadiums.

It's nice when you know the crowd are on your side. I can only repay them by working my hardest when I do get on and trying to impress them.
