From a personal point of view I want some medals because that is what you aim for when you start out playing.
I'm looking out for myself, but I'm looking out for my dad, too.
I'm enjoying myself this year and for once I'm not chasing my fitness.
I'm a footballer, that's my job and that's all I want to be known for.
I suppose it hacks me off sometimes when people go on about all the other stuff, because I have really worked hard at my game, and I've been incredibly dedicated in getting myself fit, and getting my game right.
Although my dad Harry is the manager of West Ham, we get on very well.
I know I'm 25 now, but there's still that little lad inside me who likes his dad there to see him.
I never got to the point when I felt like running away from it all.
I am a positive person and do not allow things to get on top of me.
But what goes on in my life outside of the game should be my business.
But there's no point in looking back and saying I was unlucky.
But I've never once thought that I wouldn't get back, as if you do think like that, then you're in trouble.
But I just want to be known for my football.
At no point was my career under threat, so I always knew that I would get back into action.
I've been at Liverpool for eight years, and the time has come for us to start achieving.
