  • Marseille table bid for Chelsea defender

  • "It is true that at times I may have thought about my future," said the Liverpool manager. "There was a lot of uncertainty at the club but, when you put all of these things together and the fact I am sure we can improve, there was no doubt in my mind.



    "If you put everyone in a rowing boat, we all have to push the oars at the same time with maximum effort with somebody at the head of the boat with a clear idea of which direction to go in," said the Liverpool manager.



    "If everybody is doing their job properly you will go faster. But if somebody is not working as hard, their timing is not correct or they don't have the same understanding, the boat will run off course."
