Its always a pleasure that this kind of team wants you but dont forget Liverpool. We beat big teams.Getty2

We didnt win the league but we still have one trophy to play for so we are going to try to give everything to win it. Everybodys ready to win.We would have loved to win the league but we have to take it as a positive.
