"We might have lost Three-Zero, but when I had executed a talent, I used to be telling my mates to observe the highlights on Match of the Day for that talent, and that was my mindset.

I had come right into a staff who had gained 5 or 6 Premier League titles, and I'm sitting there with no trophies at all, not to mention Premier League profitable medals, so I'm sat there considering how I can get higher.
"I keep in mind one recreation, we performed towards West Brom, and I attempted to do a pair early cross-field passes to point out individuals, but they acquired minimize out they usually virtually scored on each events, and I keep in mind coming into the changing room at half time and the manager unloaded on me, which introduced my ego down massively and made me realise what my duty was within the workforce.
"There are so many better players with the ball, who're there to create possibilities, and I just must be good at defending."
