As a manager, when you can't get your first target do you go and spend on your second, third, fourth choice?
I'm not sure about Richarlison. I like him, I liked him when he was at Watford and he started well at Everton but would his preferred position be out on the left and cutting in? I'm not sure.
Some people can get there in three or four games, some need eight or nine, but after 11 games, if you've been playing regularly, you're match-fit.
It's the one that the players fear. The No 1 is the ACL - the anterior cruciate ligament - closely followed by a real tear of the hamstring, because you know that's the one injury that kids you.
Liverpool are a very hard team to beat in front of their own crowd.
It's very hard to retain the Premier League.
When you go into the really big games you look at your team and think 'where are we weak, where are we vulnerable.'
I think if you're raising your foot high whether it's an overhead kick or not, you're risking a red card.
Football is the most entertaining game in the world to watch because it's end to end with lots of things happening.
It is really strange how life works, isn't it?
When you talk about those Liverpool greats, they had players who won everything. Some great team men, great goalscorers, longevity.
You can't look into a crystal ball but what you can say is if money is put on the table and you get half your signings right then you are going to be better next time around.
I think you find Liverpool fans are extremely passionate, as are Evertonians, but I think it goes to another level in Glasgow.
I've played at Anfield and you can look at The Kop and there are blue pockets all over. It's another level in Glasgow.
You don't get a manager's job at a big club unless it is in a mess.
I was sold by Middlesbrough to Liverpool for a record fee between two English clubs and then won European Cups at Anfield, but I couldn't have been prepared for Rangers. I was a fan as a kid and attended a lot of European nights at Ibrox. I knew the club were big. But not how big.
Apart from actually playing football, I am at my most happiest with either my dogs, or planting in the garden.
I accept that I sometimes overstepped the mark, but I can tell you that, off the pitch, I've never been an overly aggressive person.
I was not satisfied at Rangers, not by a long way. I have hassles there, I had obstacles placed in front of me, and certain things never sat easily on my shoulders, and never will.
Whatever happens will happen, that's the rollercoaster of life. What matters is how you handle the slumps.
