I know [my decision] but the goalkeepers (Alisson/Kelleher) don't know yet. I will tell them after this. One of the only things I don't understand here, everywhere around the world and Europe, we can take 23 players to the game, we play so many games here, so if you are able to you need a big squad, that seems fair. So to pick first XI is difficult but to tell people he's not even in the squad is harder, so I don't know why we don't have 23 for the games, nine subs is enough but to keep the dressing room going you need more than 20 players. For teams in Europe, you need more than 20, so why can't we we bring 23 instead of 20? That is the rule so it is a difficult decision. To leave someone out who works every day and wants to be involved."
I will be happy if that player (No.9) becomes both. I want him to be a facilitator - nice word! - and score goals himself. Lucho played his part for Cody to win a penalty against Bournemouth, so in the end, you want attackers, midfielders to score, we need to get goals from many positions, including centre-backs who can score from set-pieces as well. So we work on the pitch and give them feedback to make the team better. The No.9 should be a facilitator and also score goals."
Now you tell me, you are right it is unusual [to have such a space between legs]. Not that it matters a lot but if you play one week later than normal you face the exact team again but with all the injuries Spurs had last time, it would have been an advantage for us but we still lost against the ones who were fit. We face two different players, I wonder if Van de Ven can play, he has a big impact. So it might change the quality of the team and we already couldn't win, so it will be difficult. But we will be better than the last time too.
"He (Bradley) played against Spurs back then too. Every game and session there is something to learn and if not, it wasn't a good session from me. I think we played PSV a good game with the team who hardly ever played and we did concede three goals. It's something on the feedback we gave. He wasn't involved in every goal but he was in one in my opinion. He wasn't aggressive enough which led to the third goal."
Every game we play we work on our habits and we have to do as much right as we can and every time after the session or the game, we have a meeting where we tell them what we did well and what we can improve to come as close as we can to a perfect game at the end of the season. It's the same, Forest away, Brentford...we learn after every game becayse we are faced with different challenges.
"I don't think I have to prepare them different to any other game, from now on until the end of the season and as long as Liverpool exists, you need to win the game. Tomorrow, Sunday, Wednesday...So even if we're 1-0 down we try to win this. We were quite close in the first leg until the last few seconds, down to 10 and conceded a goal but nothing changes for this game. If you wear this shirt, if you play at Anfield; there's only one thing expected of you: to win the game."
I see the replays and that is not available for fans, so if the fans like it then let's do this. I wonder if we are all going to like it. It's not neccessary but let's see if the fans like it. I was there in the Spurs stadium, it was so obvious it wasn't needed to announce it was offside. I was more interested in why he didn't give a second yellow (for Bergvall)."
