“Unfortunately I cannot grant your request, not through choice anyway.
“As much as you want Liverpool to not win, it is my job to do everything that I can to help Liverpool win as there are millions of people all over the world who want that to happen so I really do not want to let them down.
“Luckily for you, we have lost matches before and we will lose games in the future because this is football.

“I hope we are lucky enough to win more matches and maybe even lift some many trophies you will not be too disappointed because although our clubs are great rivals we also share a great respect for them.
“This is what football is all about to me. Take care and good luck.”
