EXCLUSIVE: Leighton Clarkson reveals all about his Liverpool career so far in the second half of his interview with the ECHO's Theo Squires.

“When he first came in, I couldn’t get near him in the first session. “He coached me a couple of times when he was doing his coaching badges and still playing for the club. “Technically and tactically, I’m quite high in that department, so the set-pieces added a new element to my game. He continued: “He (Gerrard) used to take me to practise set-pieces after sessions during the week. Because he’s that much of a leader and how much he can help the team. He was in the dressing room (before the Shrewsbury game), speaking to us all and relaxing us really. In my opinion he’s the best midfielder to have ever played in the Premier League. Every age group, I was one of the main players in every team I played in. And despite the day being a blur, at least he remembers Klopp’s words of wisdom to him in the dressing room before the game. “Liverpool was the best option for me at the time. “I signed the contract where you’ve got to be with one club when I was nine,” he said. It was one of the best days in my life.”

Jones sat down with Liverpoolfc.com to discuss the fixture, his return from injury, Cody Gakpo and much more. Read on below for a summary… On how he's feeling ...

I want to come in and help the team as much as I can. I'm battling against people on the left, as an eight, as a six and on the right with the likes of Mo and things like that. Cody has come in, he's a big part of the team and he's a really exciting player. I was doing stuff inside the gym; I was doing stuff on the pitch. Of course, Ads was always known, but there were the likes of Sadio, who was there and always scoring goals, Mo, of course, Firmino. He's an exciting player but at the same time he's a great guy as well. But [it's] the same with us now and you see the little bit of the spell that we're in and the boys are the same. But then at the same time when I was doing well and training well, I was doing the right things, they could see I was a kid who was trying to learn a lot of things. It was unfortunate that Calvin [Ramsay] got a red card in the first 20 and then we went a goal down just before half-time and I knew I was meant to play the 45. Now I'm just at the point of where I'm fit again, I'm back on the pitch and I'm able now to play games and be involved in games. But then I was thinking, ‘We're a man down.’ I was thinking, ‘Allow me to go and play an extra 20 or so and see what happens.’ But the gaffer was there and said no. I'm excited, of course, and I just can't wait to play the next game.

When he returns, it's as you were in terms of Liverpool's attacking triumvirate, with the Uruguayan through the middle, Gakpo out on the left and What could be the reason that we have [lots of money available], but we don't sign the players available? His 'money story' comments were a clear indication that the funds are currently not available.
