On Liverpool’s title hopes:
“It is unprecedented. We finished seventh last year and there is no team that has finished seventh that have gone on to win the league [the next season]. If you look at the two clubs above us they are superpowers of European football so the expectancy is with them and in particular Manchester City, because they have the games in hand. But for us, we have been developing and improving over 18 months. It hasn’t been easy at times but the players have been magnificent. We’ve scored many goals. Tonight [against Sunderland] was hard, but we got the victory and that is the winning mentality we have now.”
On strike duo Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge:
“Everyone goes on about this partnership that they have, but I don’t see them as that. They are both soloists. They are both individual players with different qualities. They play in the same area of the field and look to combine at times but they are very much individuals that work collectively within the team. Suarez is incredible. His determination and will really matches his talent and he is an absolutely incredible performer. The big stage he performs on. He is a really humble guy. He never misses a day’s training and it has been huge pleasure to work with him. Daniel is potentially world class. Super fast, two great feet, strong, quick and his goals record is incredible. What we have done is provided him with the opportunity, and he has taken it.”
On his side’s attacking mentality:
“This team has learnt to cope with the fact we are not going to be perfect. We are going to be really offensive and aggressive in attack and if we concede a goal it doesn’t upset the group any more. We get on with it and we look to score.”
