I am my own biggest critic.

The European nights at Anfield are brilliant.

Everyone remembers the shot you couldn't stop.

It's always important to respond after a defeat.

As a goalkeeper, you learn from the guys you work with.

The biggest challenge is the fight you have on your own.

You score goals as a team and you concede them as a team.

There is no point making ourselves nervous before a match.

Whether I play or not, nothing will change my preparation.

As a goalkeeper, you are only remembered for your last game.

To be the first Belgian to play for Liverpool is a big thing.

I've said all along I don't want to be a number two goalkeeper.

Momentum is an amazing thing when it is working in your favour.

Liverpool stands for unity, Liverpool stands for 'all together.'

In the Premier League you need creative players to open games up.

You always try to take the positives and negatives out of the game.

You know when you play a good game and you know when you play a bad game.

You always look for certain things you can do better and what went wrong.

Every time you concede a goal, you don't have to put a hammer to your head.

I am not the sort of person who will wake up and go and buy myself a Ferrari.

When you are in a good frame of mind then the performance is going to be better.

It is always better to have a good unit than being reliant on one or two players.

As a goalkeeper if you concede two goals at the end of the game you never can be happy.

We take each game as it comes and just focus on the objective. All we can do is our best.

I will never give up fighting firstly because that's not in my character, to just give up.

I don't like sitting on the bench because I get more nervous there than when I am playing!

Every game is mentally and physically tough but we get through it and it makes you stronger.

You just have to learn to live with the criticism even if it is unfair. It is a fact of life.

At a club like Liverpool, it is normal there is going to be competition for every single place.

Especially for the goalkeeper, you have to feel the confidence of every staff member and the team.

Playing in front of a crowd is something you learn. You accept it and then you start to relish it.

You want to play, you don't want to be on the bench, I'm no different to anyone else in that regard.

A lot of people who were studying with me turned out to be journalists or worked in big institutions.

I always prepare myself in the same manner and when the opportunity comes along you have to grasp it.

When you're by yourself you have to sort out everything like the shopping and looking after the house.

I just try to stay as focused as I always am, relax and make sure I can help the team out whenever I can.

The goalkeeper position is not an easy one. You can only speak about it if you are a goalkeeper yourself.

Nobody's perfect and nobody is without mistakes. The only thing you have to make sure of is you keep improving.

Not all things always go your way and you have to accept that. That's what you are going to get as a footballer.

I don't agree that there are big teams and small teams in the Premier League. There are just a lot of good teams.

I think Eden has the qualities and talent to play in England. On his day, he can make the difference for his team.

Competition can only make you as an individual better and let you perform better, it can only be a positive thing.

I can only do my best, work hard, be positive and confident and I believe in myself. That is the only thing I can do.

Every day in training, we will try to work to keep improving the things we can do and maintaining the levels we're at.

If you are fighting at the top in the Premier League then you cannot do that with a dodgy goalkeeper. It is not possible.

He's worse than Dracula because at least Dracula comes out of his coffin now and then. He seems to stay on his line and that's it.

If you come away with a 1-1 result, that's obviously a disappointing feeling. You start to look at what you could have done better.

We are all football players and we are here to do our best. You want to work hard in training and we will see what happens at a weekend.

When I started playing, my parents told me to go to university. They just said choose wisely and find something you can combine with training.

A goalkeeper's biggest attribute is to bounce back. If you have support from fans, backroom staff and team-mates to play the next game, it is easy.
