In modern day football, you've got to play in different positions. I've played in numerous positions, apart from centre-back and goalkeeper, I think.
I'm lucky to have played two different positions. But of course the experience I gained as a full back - knowledge of defending, and taking up the right positions, helps me as a midfielder.
I would say I am more comfortable in the centre of midfield. But when you are at a big club like Liverpool, you maybe get played in positions with which you might not be so familiar. But you have got to learn the different roles, because it gives you a better opportunity to play.
I think I'm more than capable of playing in positions such as right-back, centre-back and centre-mid.
I'm a versatile player, can play in numerous positions, and I have a good football brain, even if it is getting older.
I can play in six different positions where managers can trust me. It must give them food for thought knowing I can do a job in different positions.
That was always something I remember, playing in loads of different positions when I was younger, and learning about what it takes to play a right-wing role, or holding midfield, or as a striker. I had a lot of experiences in those different formations and positions.
I am actually comfortable in every position in midfield. At Bayern Munich, I even played as a winger and sometimes a full-back, so I can play many different positions.
When I've watched teams that play with five at the back and wing-backs, I've looked at their starting positions and positions out of possession because that comes a little bit more unnaturally to me.
I did learn a lot of things in different positions, wing-back, winger and striker as well so I am happy to go and learn different positions which I like and I trust the process of Nuno Espirito Santo.
The positions I played in football, being a quarterback and a defensive back, you had to kind of have a little independent thinking.
I can play a lot of positions, but obviously I haven't had a lot of practice at those different positions.
There are no hopeless positions; there are only inferior positions that can be saved. There are no drawn positions; there are only equal ones in which you can play for a win. But at the same time, don't forget that there is no such thing as a won position in which it is impossible to lose.
It's good that I can play in two positions, as a centre-back or as a holding midfielder, as I just want to get minutes and get games.
Different managers play different systems, and you've got to be able to play in different positions.
I can play in different positions, and if I can do what I'm good at, score goals, show how good I can play football, then it's OK with me.
As a rookie, I had changed positions. In college, I was a quarterback, and I had never played other positions.
