If you really want to get it more exciting, no linesmen. And have the players call their lines. That would make the game more exciting, I promise you. It would be awesome.
If you want to speak about scoring goals, you should judge every midfielder the same way.
I don't understand the lack of respect for amazing players when people say they are not good enough for me.
You will always be judged as a Liverpool player but, as a captain, you will be judged on what you win, basically. If you're doing well, and the team is winning everything, you become a very good captain.
You can look at stats as much as you want - and we do - but you can have too much of it. You can spend too much time looking at computers rather than looking at the real thing which is out there on the pitch. I still think that being a good judge of players is the most important thing.
You can't say somebody is a bust if they're making plays and running to the ball.
Personal records are not what football is all about, but as goalscorers, we live and die by figures and numbers because, ultimately, that's how people will judge you.
Sometimes you do want linemen to cut-block. It depends. It's all about what they feel.
