The Everton fans seem to know football, seem to understand it, it seems to be in their blood and they really back the team.

It is definitely what my aim is to get everyone to do their part and take on that responsibility of being a leader - whether you are playing or on the bench or if you have not made the team.

When you go a goal behind the pressure drops off you and you feel like you can play more so when we go ahead we need to be switched on and that is when we need leaders on the pitch.

I want everybody including myself to be working just as hard towards the same goal, and if that's not happening I think it's only right to voice that opinion instead of going into your shell and not speaking about it.

I'm hungry. I don't like losing. I see myself as a winner.

Every time I have played against Everton, whether it was home or away, straight away the first thing that comes to mind when you see the fans is passion.
