It's a bit surreal, but getting back into work this morning and being at a place I love,
00:05
a special place for me, seeing old faces, seeing new faces as well,
00:10
and I'm delighted to get back into the game.
00:13
It's a huge challenge, so how do you attack that challenge
00:16
and how do you approach this game with Liverpool?
00:20
Well, with our own personality and characteristics,
00:22
we feel, through myself and my coaching and managerial career
00:26
and the guys that we've brought in, the qualities that we can bring in,
00:30
hopefully, to improve the situation that we're in.
00:33
It's not a great situation, everybody knows that.
00:35
It is the best league in the world, everybody knows that,
00:37
and we're playing Liverpool first game up, so thanks very much for the fixture list.
00:41
But, listen, 30,000-odd in Bramall Lane on a Wednesday night under the lights
00:46
against arguably one of the best teams in Europe is a tough start,
00:50
but one that we can go and attack and have a right go,
00:52
and I think that's going to be the attitude from me and the players,
00:57
to reignite the supporters, because there has been a little bit of a disconnect,
01:01
especially over the last two games.
01:03
A lot of good things have happened over the last two years here at this football club,
01:06
getting back into the Premier League,
01:08
and we're here for a reason and we've got to enjoy that challenge,
01:12
and that's my message to the players,
01:14
and the players have got to set the ball rolling to connect with those supporters,
01:20
because, as we all know, under the lights at Bramall Lane,
01:24
it's a fabulous place to go and play football, and nothing to lose.
