I don’t know because last season was my first Merseyside derby in that stadium, so if we played in the same stadium I would probably know what to expect. I have had many games this season where I didn’t have a right full-back available, for example.



"No."Only playing once a week now: "I think we have seen this season a lot of good performances but also a lot of inconsistency in the performance, in my opinion, mainly due the amount of games with almost the same players, If you look at the 15, 20, 25 players with the most minutes this season, a lot of them are from us. That tells you a lot and one of the reasons why we have been a bit inconsistent, maybe why we have conceded so many late goals because it is always the same players."The last game, I had to bring Joe in and bring him out, there were three players playing in the right full-back position again as it has so many times this season.

I don’t see it as a positive thing, we are out but it is the reality and we have a bit more training time now.Jayden Danns availablity: "The good thing for him is that he's been out for such a long time and he's now getting back with the Under-21s, getting some playing time. But I think there's still a lot of steps to be made if you've not even played 90 minutes [for] the U21s, let alone then play a Premier League game."But the first thing that comes to my mind is that he's worked so hard – I know this because I've seen him around over here a lot – to be where he is now and he's also been so unlucky to be out for such a long time.
