It is always good for a player when a manager believes in you.
When you're a player, you want the manager to know your quality and to want you.
I had a good time at Chelsea and was accepted in the team, so it's difficult to explain why I left. My performances were good as well, but there was a time in my second season when I felt I didn't have the manager's trust any more and I didn't play many matches from the start.
It's been a massive confidence booster to know the managers picking you each game in a position where you're playing well. It gives you a lot of belief that you're doing the right things.
I am happy to get the chance to play whenever I get the chance, and it is down to the manager's trust and the trust he has shown in me.
Pochettino's a great manager, and he puts a lot of trust in young English players.
I got told I wasn't allowed to go on loan, which was a good thing but, at the same time, I just wanted to play matches. So do I annoy the manager and try to push for a loan or was I just to keep working hard and trust him?
Coming back to Tottenham, you feel confident with these players and the manager - the way he talks to you and wants you to play.
Nobody at Liverpool questions the manager. Jurgen Klopp is a top, top manager.
Consistency, goals, and assists - that gets you confidence and puts the thought in the manager's head that he can't drop you.
That's the big thing for youngsters. When you go, you don't want a manager that's not going to have any trust in young players.
As a manager I always trusted my players on Christmas Day. I did not see any point in dragging them into the training ground - a three-hour round-trip for some of them on icy roads - when they could relax with their families instead.
