The last time Liverpool walked out here as champions
Sinead O'Connor was number one in the charts.
Her song Nothing Compares To You was top of the pile,
and it's fair to say that little has compared to the Reds thus far this season.
♫ You'll never walk...alone. ♫
PLAYERS SHOUT INSTRUCTIONS
CHEERING
Jürgen, congratulations, back to winning ways,
what pleased you most about this afternoon?
That we were ready to fight and ready to win a difficult game,
because this was - for different reasons - a difficult game.
It was far away from a brilliant performance
but it was a proper fight
in a situation where people would maybe think that we think,
"OK, today is difficult and we don't want it",
but it was absolutely the opposite and I loved that the most.
Curtis, well played, was that the perfect way to wrap up the weekend for you
after the announcement of the contract?
You could call it perfect, but for me, I'm just grateful to the manager and his staff
for having the belief in me and putting me out there when it was only 1-0
and Villa were playing well,
so I'm grateful for that, but, yeah, it's been a good week.
Any young lad that's coming into a team like this you've got to be confident,
you've got to be brave and want to get on the ball,
so that's what I try to do and I showed it then.
