It's cliched but football has its own language.

It's obviously nice to contribute.
At times you've got to be patient, and that's it. I just take it; another good training week, train hard and train strong, look to perform there and hopefully start at the weekend.
Dad used to reminisce about the good old days when Everton won the old first division championship and the FA Cup back in the 1970s and 80s but they weren't quite so good when I started supporting them.
When someone else is injured, they are the ones who motivate you. It's not just for yourself - it's for them.
I've always had a good relationship with Pochettino. We are very good friends off the pitch now.
Deep down I hope Saints fans appreciate the times we had at the club together.
Going out on to the pitch and being mentally free is a massive thing.
It's about just staying fit, staying strong and staying ready.
I just want to contribute as much as possible.
Football's a funny game.
Being as fit as I can, and working as hard as I can, is at the forefront of my mind. The rest will take care of itself.
Every now and again, it doesn't hurt to utter some home truths as long as it is not personal, just purely professional.
We don't ever want to be complacent, and it's good to look back and see places you can improve. That's a good mentality to have.
People said when I was a young lad 'Oh he's got good feet.' He's good in small spaces and that's something I have always had since a young age.
I know my ability and I know what I can give.
The more you're competing, the higher the level is in training. That means the quality is going to be higher on a Saturday, Wednesday or whenever we're playing.
We want to progress and ultimately win something. You can't do that with 11, 12 or 13 players, you need a squad.
I have played on cold, wet nights at the end of the earth in midweek, and it is character-building stuff, but I wouldn't have had it any other way.
Whatever my contract situation is, that will be going on in the background.
Sometimes as a No. 8 you are making decoy runs, or you are offering and you don't get the ball.
It is something you can't quite explain unless you have experienced it. There is that difference when you pull on a Liverpool shirt.
It's a good feeling to know you've had a good day at work.
If I was a manager, I wouldn't want a 'nearly man' in my team. Not a chance.
Sometimes when you are a professional footballer, you have to deal with tough decisions.
At times, my insecurities were real. How am I going to get back into the team? I felt like I was climbing a ladder that was never-ending at times.
Of course, you think ahead and like to plan to a degree.
It's a great mentality that we have, we don't want to settle for just winning games.
I'm an ambitious person.
I could have stayed at Southampton until I retired and finished my career there.
I'm confident enough in my own ability and what I bring to the squad.
At any level I'm not built with complacency. I think you see that in the way I play. The people that manage me know that, my teammates know that. I'm not built like that.
It's not just about training, it's about playing competitive football.
I'm not one that sulks when he's injured. I use it as time to learn, to pick up on things.
I'd always like to score at Goodison Park, being an Everton fan growing up. Anfield as well would be a nice place to score.
When you're having a tough time as a team, you all need to stay together - you can't start becoming individuals.
We win and lose as a team; we need to stay together, keep fighting and keep working for each other.
Every footballer gets injuries - Jordan Henderson has had a tough couple of years. We all have to deal with it at some stage in our career.
I want the best players to be linked with Liverpool and coming to Liverpool.
If we are going to achieve something, we are going to need a strong bench.
Gaston Ramirez is a class act.
Football is a fickle game - if I do get the jeers and the boos I'm just going to take it as them missing me playing down there because I miss Southampton. I miss the fans and I miss the good times we had down there. Of course I do.
I was with Luke Shaw at Southampton. He's a very strong boy. He's had a horrific leg injury. You don't come back from that without being mentally and physically strong.
I am working really hard to keep fit because I feel if I stay fit, then the club will see the best of me.
I think Dele Alli is one who is psychologically strong.
Being the hero doesn't bother me, but being part of a successful team does bother me.
Getting to two finals is difficult in the same season.
I'd just like to thank everyone at Southampton for what they've done for me.
Throughout the course of the season everyone is going to have to contribute if you want to achieve something special.
The only thing you are guaranteed in football is disappointment.
