My experience at Bournemouth made me who I am today. ”

You need young, hungry, developing players in your team, but you also need that experience to level things out and get hold of some of the youngsters when they need advice in certain areas of the pitch. ”

When you're doing well, a lot of people will recognise it, and when you're not doing well it's the same. It is about how you deal with it and control your mentality. ”

No one turns up at Turf Moor thinking we are a soft touch. ”

When you are injured you have to keep a positive mindset and keep moving forward. ”

I always try and be positive, even if I'm not starting games or in the frame. ”

To work with Brendan Rodgers and the players at Liverpool is an unbelievable dream come true for me, really. ”

Luckily I've got family and friends to keep me grounded because there are a lot of negative people around who can suck the energy out of you. ”

Football is not just a game, it means the world to me and I'm so thankful of what it has given to me and my family, so every opportunity I get, I want to give my all in return. ”

That is how I have been at any level, whether it was semi-pro at Dorchester Town or at Liverpool. I set myself targets. The mentality doesn't change. ”
