00:00It will be the last ever Merseyside derby, lead Merseyside derby I should say, at Gunnarsson Park.

00:05What further edge does that add to the game?

00:09Well, I mean, I'd like to think that it brings our fans to the fore again.

00:13They've supported us throughout, they question us, that's fine.

00:15I've never questioned their questioning us because that's part of the game.

00:18But on this occasion, I think it all goes out the window for this game.

00:21I've learned that it's kind of just an individual game in a season's work that means so much.

00:26We delivered a very good performance last season.

00:28We're going to have to, at home that is, we're going to have to do that again, of course,

00:32against a very good side.

00:33And I think certainly our fans can play a part in that by getting behind the players again from the off

00:38and creating that atmosphere that makes it difficult for teams to come and play here.

00:42You don't get overly emotional, but was that game at Gunnarsson Park one of the exceptions?

00:46It's not about not getting emotional.

00:48I just know the bigger jobs are always there.

00:51And that was a...

00:53Them games for me, I explained it many times.

00:55I haven't got the depth of knowledge of them games.

00:57So it's for the people.

00:58It's for the crowd.

00:59If we can win, it's for them.

01:00It's not for me.

01:02It's for me, for my role, of course, and the points.

01:04But you get what I mean?

01:05I understand the depth of it, the history of it, and I've always made that clear.

01:08So what I did enjoy is giving something back, you know, in my little part,

01:12including a team of people, my staff as well,

01:14and just giving something back to the fans, you know, that meant a lot.

01:18And we want to do that again, and we're certainly working hard to do that.
