It's a good move for me because when you've been at a club for a long while you get into a routine. Especially in the situation that I was in where sometimes I played and sometimes I didn't, which caused some frustration. And that's one of the reasons why I decided to move.

Anfield has really witnessed countless unforgettable moments, but few are as tense as a penalty taken in front of the Kop. From the calm authority of the 1980s to the pressure-filled moments of the modern game, a select group of players have embraced that responsibility and built lasting reputations from the penalty spot.
Every summer the Premier League relights the argument. New players are brought on and managers announce tweaks, the preseason scores give broad conclusions, and fans start speculating who will win the trophy in May. The biggest July story very rarely lasts the length of a 38-game season.
