John Stones

It's never easy when you give a striker a yard and he gets a shot off.

It happened in the first half where...

Lamela's coming off the line and played Harry in, I thought he's making a running behind and he's got a shot off and it's gone over the bar.

The great strikers do that, but I thought tonight how we defended and how we kept him to very minimal chances and regained the ball off him and set the lads on counter-attacks was something that we worked on in training and I hope we execute it well tonight.

No, I think the manager knows my qualities and what I bring to the team.

I played obviously right back, as you said, and dropped into centre midfield today.

If the manager wants me to play there, I'll give it my best and do it for the team because we had some injuries.

It's quite an easy slot to fill into with the respect of we train hard and we all know each other's roles and responsibilities.

So for me to slot into that right-back position or even into centre midfield, I know...

where to be and where to kind of show my qualities which are different to obviously Kyle and Fernandinho who usually plays there so you know it's about me taking my opportunity and obviously trying to grow in those positions as well it's another string to my bow if I can play them and it gives the manager another outlet as well

No, definitely not.

His motivation, his desire and his whole work ethic towards us has definitely not changed.

I think it's probably...

Another benchmark that he wants to get to is getting the Premier League again and progressing in the Champions League more than we did last season.

I think he's always striving for bigger and better things and wanting more from us as players.

I think that's why he's been so successful as a manager over his career.

I'm sure you guys can see from the first season that he came to how he's developed me as a player, everyone in the dressing room.

I think it's just about pushing us every day and us keeping those high standards and seeing where it can take us.

Thank you.
