- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I've watched teams that play with five at the back and wing-backs, I've looked at their starting positions and positions out of possession because that comes a little bit more unnaturally to me.
- Play

- Nov 07, 2020
You want to play in finals, and they don't come much bigger than the Champions League final.

To beat City twice is no easy feat.
- Man

- Nov 07, 2020
All that I can say is that, from my point of view, our manager Arsene Wenger is an unbelievable man off the pitch and as a manager.

- Nov 07, 2020
If I've had a bad game, I know I've had a bad game, and I don't mind hearing it.
- End Product
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If there's a shot on, I like to take the opportunity as well, and I like passing the ball - which is one of the reasons I came to Arsenal. But I'm a player that likes to come up with an end product - whether that's a goal, an assist, or helping the team to get good results.
- I Can
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm quite confident to take people on - if there's a one against one, I'll definitely take it on if I feel I can get a cross in or set someone up.

- Game
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My dad speaks a lot of sense and keeps me grounded. He'll watch me play and, if I've done well, he'll have a quiet word with me and say, 'Well done.' If I've had a not-so-good game, he'll let me know about it.
- Inside
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've grown up playing in central midfield more, and I think my natural game is about coming inside from wide.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Arsenal are all about nice, intricate passing movements around the box, so if I shoot too much from outside the box without scoring, the boss will have a go at me!
- Back
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've had loads of kicks over the years, and I'm not really too fussed about them. I get kicked, and I don't like to roll around or anything. I like to get back up pretty quickly, even if it hurt.
- Remember
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I remember watching David Beckham scoring that free-kick at Old Trafford to take England to a World Cup. Things like that stick with you. I was at Southsea, waiting to board a hovercraft for the Isle of Wight. We ended up missing it because we were more interested in watching the big screen.

You have good form, bad form, get criticised, get bigged up. You go through spells of trying to find out how much to listen to, what not to pay too much attention to.
- Confidently
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'd be lying if I said there weren't times when I hadn't lost a little bit of confidence. But the people around me, close to me, were the ones to tell me I'd been playing slightly differently, not as confidently as I had been.
- Dad
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When my dad was still playing, he was away for five years on and off, so it just used to be me and my mum at home until my little brother came along when I was five.
- Food
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am really close to my mum. She always made me do my school and make sure I got all my grades. She is a physiotherapist, which is a massive help to me, so in terms of nutrition, she was the one who made sure I was eating all the right food, and I can only thank her that she kept me fit and healthy.

My dad had a spell when he came out of coaching doing some work with underprivileged children on quite a rough council estate in Southampton to help the kids and take them out to places.

All players go through injuries in their career, but I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
- Long
- |

You become more aware of your body when you go through a long injury. You work on things you don't know about until you get injured, so different muscles.

- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I always hear commentators talking about squads that have been around and that have won things; they always mention the experience of winning and knowing what it takes to win. They have only got that through winning trophies and winning competitions.

When there's a lot of talk about a team that should or could be winning things, and it's not happening, it can become a little bit frustrating.

- Like
- |

- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Sometimes in midfield, it's nice because you do get a little bit more of the ball, and maybe out wide you rely on people to get you the ball.

I just say I'd like to be an attacking midfielder.
- Influence

I just want to be able to be an attacking influence and have that effect further up the pitch; whether that's from an attacking midfield position or one of the wider positions coming in, I'm not too fussed.
- Nov 07, 2020
I play where I'm told to play.
- More

The more positions I can play, it gives the manager a nice headache, and it can be helpful for him.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've played on the wing in some games and found myself in the middle for five or 10 minutes when others drift wide. It's about creating chances, scoring goals and helping the team win.

- Decision
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I want to thank the Arsenal fans who've always supported me. But I can't apologise for my decision to leave. I want to get more out of myself. I felt the main thing was taking myself out of my comfort zone. That's why Liverpool shouted out for me.

- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People at school used to assume I was going to be a footballer, and it wasn't until I got to 16, when I was at Southampton, that I had a doubt for the first time in my life. Southampton said I wasn't big enough, but it was just because I hadn't grown. Simple as that.

I want people to like me, and I care what they think.
- Better
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
