Might be Egypts best chance this year they've played pretty well, and beat there bogey team in Ivory Coast Mo might be coming back a champion.
With the injury's up top Mo playing as a striker could work in this team.
1
11 Jan 2026 10:06:51
I doubt it, do you now how many changes he misses?
0
11 Jan 2026 11:26:30
Mo was playing in a 2 up front yesterday don't know why he couldn't do it for us with either ekitike/ isak or even wirtz.
0
11 Jan 2026 11:31:23
He might of been poor this year, Salah has always missed chances all the time but guess what he still usually gets double figures for goals all the time.
11 Jan 2026 09:15:03
Really hope we go all out in the FA cup. Winning that, top 4 and a decent run in the Champions league would be a decent return in the context of our season so far.
2
11 Jan 2026 10:22:13
With you, DS15. I always want to do well in the FA Cup, though our managers haven't always shared the same view. Hope we go fairly strong, tomorrow, and not chuck 11 kids at it.
0
11 Jan 2026 11:15:05
100%, DS.
If we're going to essentially crawl our way to the top 4 (hopefully), we have no excuse not go hell-for-leather in the remaining cups. We should be completely fresh as well, given how lethargic we've been up to now, but I doubt the overall fitness will enable it.

11 Jan 2026 11:21:27
All out for the FA Cup? You do realise that none of the players that played against Arsenal on Thursday will play tomorrow. They won't even be on the bench as the only substituton was at the end after the unfortunate injury to Connor. If he wasn't injured its likely that sub would not have happend. The plan is obviously to play youth and some fringe players and rest all those that played against Arsenal aside from Gomez.
It will be a team who have never played together before, with inexperience and youth mixed in with bench players . Barnsley have a real chance tomorrow if they play their best 11 make no mistake . The FA Cup is not on Slots radar. Tomorrow's team will be up against it . The team will likely consist on Mama, Robbo, Gomez , Ramsey, Rio, Trey, Fede, Jones with 3 youth players filling the gaps in the starting 11 and 5 or 6 in the bench . There will be nothing to change the game should it be needed . The CB pairing will be Gomez and who knows. that's if Gomez doest break down after 15 minuets. Can see Barnsley having a cupset .

I agree mate. That Crystal Palace game was a disgrace. There's an opportunity to win a trophy and it should always be taken seriously.
Just saw the replays of your pens against Sunderland.
I might have to watch them again. but those pens were some of the worst I've ever seen mate.
Thanks for putting the pressure on us to keep the Merseyside flag flying high in the FACup.

{Ed025's Note - they were abysmal JLC, Garner,s one was a very good save actually but the 2 from Millican and Nesbitt were a joke mate, i hope i find you and yours well my friend..

10 Jan 2026 19:13:16
Not to worry @25 - you can concentrate on a big push to finish in the top half of the PL now.

{Ed025's Note - i doubt we will get that high with this squad WDW..

11 Jan 2026 03:21:30
Another false dawn, Ed?
1
{Ed025's Note - it seems that way DE, the squad is threadbare mate but some of the players we have bought are nothing short of woeful, but we go again and live in hope rather than expectation..
1
11 Jan 2026 11:38:43
Everton are like most teams in the league tbf. Struggle with squad depth because they have too many first team players paid huge amounts who just don't do enough to merit it each week. The squads are padded with either young or much lesser players, when injuries kick in the drop off is big.
There are very few teams who consistently outperform expectation. Brentford, Brighton and maybe Fulham are the exceptions.
10 Jan 2026 15:25:36
I have a question if eds1 or anyone else can answer it correctly.
If a team say Liverpool are in the opponent s box and there's a handball, all Liverpool players shout for a penalty but the ref doesn't see it, the game carry's on and VAR are looking at it then other team goes up the other end and score straight away before VAR have made a decision.
Then VAR decides it was deliberate handball what would happen. Does the game go back for a penalty and the goal doesn't stand? Or something else.
1
{Ed001's Note - game goes back for the handball and the goal never happened.}
10 Jan 2026 14:44:24
I really like the look of Sadiki from Sunderland, would be my pick for midfield addition.
8
{Ed001's Note - agreed.}
7
10 Jan 2026 15:34:14
Good player him, hard working, defensively switched on, good on the ball, good engine.
3
10 Jan 2026 16:54:23
Are you feeling alright Victor 🙂
Agreed, looks a top player.
6
10 Jan 2026 17:11:25
I think he's brilliant ED and Vik, Sunderland have done incredible business, Xhaka gets a lot of the plaudits but Sadiki is an unbelievable player. Vik have to say your 'more like a golden shower' comment the other day made me laugh out loud, well played. 😂.
3
10 Jan 2026 17:18:59
Yeh very good.
1
10 Jan 2026 18:00:51
He's the kind of player I'm thinking of when I say adding physicality and defensive nous to our midfield. Looks an absolute steal and good scouting by Sunderland.
2
10 Jan 2026 21:59:09
Yeah Viktor, Stevie Wonder could see we are lacking that presence! I'm not behind the Wharton clamour as doesn't add that, albeit a tidy player but not what we need. I'd be over the moon if Sadiki links cropped up for summer.
2
11 Jan 2026 01:54:53
Viktor
Just out of interest, who would be your pick in the summer for the following:
Combative Midfielder -
Centre Back -
Left Side (Gakpo gets sold) -
Right Side (Mo finally goes to KSA) -.
1
11 Jan 2026 11:14:02
Whartons chance creation stats are good, so perhaps he's wanted by us for that as much as his ability to generally knit things together.
When I've seen him live he hasn't stood out massively but that's partly to do with him being fairly understated style wise. He doesn't seem to be a player who goes crunching into tackles or is dynamic in his running, whereas some of these other guys bring that to the pitch and stand out because if it.
Ideally you'd have both styles in the middle, but we also need to keep a place for Szob and Grav.
10 Jan 2026 12:00:26
Yan Diomande laying his cards on the table about wanting to come to us is nice to see in the public forum.
8
10 Jan 2026 13:14:38
Off course he is a move to the richest league in the World sets you up for life. But apart from that he's having a good season so far. Can he consistently do that?
1
10 Jan 2026 13:39:39
Looks like he could be something special and would insert some serious speed to our flanks but seems a season or two too soon. Premier League is a different animal. Curious to see what people think though.
1
10 Jan 2026 13:57:05
Malick Fofana and now Yan Diomande dreaming of playing for Liverpool at Anfield. We need two wingers over the next two windows.
Job done.
8
10 Jan 2026 14:45:35
Man City player by the end of the month.
8
10 Jan 2026 14:58:19
I've read that the quote from fofana's agent isn't actually real? Or that the person quoted isn't actually his agent (fofana is represented by roc nation), of course he could be a Liverpool fan but the individual quoted is apparently not his representative.
1
10 Jan 2026 15:19:37
Patrik - this may be true, but he rejected Everton, so I choose to believe! :)
2
10 Jan 2026 16:19:23
I think we were interested in Fofana in the summer and he was open to the move to the point that Forrest was in for him and he stayed at Lyon instead. Or at least, this is what I read.
1
10 Jan 2026 17:13:26
I will hazzard a guess and say there is a lot of players out there who are LFC fans, means nothing tho unless we are interested in them.
2
11 Jan 2026 04:00:37
Eze is a gunner, almost signed for spurs. Semenyo is a gunner, off to city. I think it's not a very big consideration for the modern footballer.
10 Jan 2026 11:21:55
Was just reading that Enriques contract at PSG ends this summer and he hasn't signed a new deal. Not sure if it's just paper bull. So potentially that would be both Enrique and Alonso available in the summer. Good options if we are removing Slot.
7
10 Jan 2026 12:10:15
But according to the slot sympathisers no one is ready to replace such a terrible manager.
7
10 Jan 2026 12:20:40
When is Alonso available? Only joined last summer and is now back on track.
3
10 Jan 2026 12:40:35
Slotthedross, the key word in Red Jones' post is "potentially". And you're right, Slot is a terrible manager. He's only won titles in 2 different countries. Do you actually support Liverpool or are you a troll, given your username? If you're a disgruntled season ticket holder, accept my apologies for having a pop.
7
10 Jan 2026 13:14:32
@Dross, I see what's happened. You just didn't read or understand what has been said.
The conversation was that if we got rid of Slot mid-season, there weren't any viable candidates to make a difference for the remainder of the season.
The conversation also looked at the options if Slot were to be removed at the end of the season and Alonso was identified as a suitable (at least to a fair percentage of contributors to this forum) candidate to fill the position. As has been mentioned there is now another likely candidate and, I suspect more candidates will be mentioned and perhaps considered by 5he club should they wish to replace Slot in the summer.
Not sure where you got the idea that Slot couldn't be replaced.
6
10 Jan 2026 13:59:48
I think Enrique's contract runs until 2027.
The talking point is about rumours of him not wanting to sign the "lifetime" contract PSG are putting on the table, which naturally leads people to look at his previous quotes of him wanting to manage a team in the Premier League one day.
2
10 Jan 2026 14:42:19
Red Jones - His contract doesn't actually run out until 2027 but media has speculated that he will leave this Summer due to the fact that he hasn't resigned. He has previously stated he would like to work in the Prem if the right opportunity arises and conveniently enough, both Enrique and Guardiola's contracts expire at the same time. There's no way he;s picking us over City.
Currently, there's no reason to expect Real to sack Alonso, 2nd in la liga, 4 points of Barca, only lost 2 league games so far. Let's not forget Alonso already turned us down one, and that was just to stay at Leverkusen. People really need to reel in their expectations, besides, if we get Champions League Slot's not going anywhere.
4
10 Jan 2026 14:53:21
According to the slot sympathisers his contract runs till 2027.
2
10 Jan 2026 16:13:40
No way he's picking us over City? Klopp picked us over many offers.

10 Jan 2026 16:20:14
He's off to City when Pep leaves, I reckon.

You do know it's not summer yet, Slotthedross?
10 Jan 2026 09:02:30
Reading about Villa's interest in Conor Gallagher, loan with an option to buy of around £40m.
I'm sure many will disagree but I think he would add some much needed energy to our midfield, i've been a fan since his WBA loan days and would be starting him over Macallister. A trio of Gravenburch, Soboszlai and Gallagher in midfield for me would be a success.
6
10 Jan 2026 09:34:33
I'd sooner start my grandmother before MacAlister lord rest her 🙏.
7
10 Jan 2026 09:36:24
A good player Ernest no doubt but imo not what we need, it's more a bruno g, caicedo, Anderson type we need who more defensive minded, high energy and v aggressive.
Would do wonders for us I reckon.
4
10 Jan 2026 09:51:49
You're right I disagree. If he's not good enough for Chelsea or Athletico he's not good enough for us. Decent player but not Liverpool quality. If we want to meander around fourth from now on then fine, otherwise a hard pass from me.
9
10 Jan 2026 10:01:31
Still no defensive midfielder though,
1
10 Jan 2026 10:47:55
Earnest. IMO that's a good shout at that money he would be an excellent addition. People disregarding him out of hand rearly don't see what a good squad player he could be. That guy leaves everything he has on the pitch. Never gives up, has bite in the tackle and can score a goal. I agree he's not world class but, I would have him.
Emery knows a player when he sees one.
Tbh I totally forgot about him, he went abroad at the same time as Mctomeny another underrated player.
2
10 Jan 2026 10:55:45
Gallagher doesn't play in the DM/ deeper role, IMO. If we need a midfielder with bite to help Grav in the pivot then, not sure Gallagher is that guy. Good player, tho.
2
10 Jan 2026 10:59:11
I think there is a bit of hang up on the "defensive midfielder' issue. I would say better midfielders and a bit of depth. City and Arsenal don't play with a defensive midfielder as such and do just fine.
Again it's as much down to tactics and our way of playing that doesn't help our issues. Same midfield as last season PL Champs, this season pretty dire! Can't all have just fell off a cliff at the same time🤷♂️.
0
{Ed001's Note - City and Arsenal both play with one. Rodri and Zubimendi play that deep lying midfield role.}
6
10 Jan 2026 10:59:51
After the way villa have dealt with Elliot, I'm not sure any club should enter a loan to buy with them.
3
10 Jan 2026 11:05:16
Frode Kippers - Salah wasn't good enough for Chelsea mate.
3
10 Jan 2026 11:16:19
Please god know 🙏 Gallagher is nowhere near good enough mid table quality at best.
3
10 Jan 2026 11:38:07
We need a passer in midfield who can also tackle if needed. Gallagher is an all action midfielder who does a lot of things decently well and has a good engine but he isn't outstanding at anything, isn't technically great, isn't a passer and isn't a particularly good progressive passer either, he's a good presser and reasonably decent carrier of the ball but also technically a bit limited, which isn't something we look for in midfielders.
I'd say Jones is superior to him in pretty much every aspect.
2
10 Jan 2026 11:44:04
Chewy "mate" Salah was in his early 20s and was considered a promising talent and only appeared a handful of times. If you're comparing that to Gallagher then you're deluded.
3
10 Jan 2026 11:50:44
Supposedly its an option to buy after the initial loan so seems pretty risk free, only Villa linked at the minute.

Sean please tell me how you can be positive especially about MacAlister?
4
10 Jan 2026 13:12:02
Apologies when I said"defensive midfielder " I was referring to a specific type of player, someone who put the boot in as such. As you say Zubi and Rodri both do it for their clubs more technical players . Which sort of proves my point that maybe it's better midfielders we require and also it's a much down to tactics and our style of playing.
0
{Ed001's Note - Rodri very much sticks the boot in, he has a lot of technical ability with it, but he certainly does not shy away from tackles. Zubimendi tries, but he is just weak, but they have Rice alongside him to provide the bite. I do get what you mean, but no point getting more technical players if they are going to still get bullied.}
3
10 Jan 2026 13:28:12
I wish he was Gary McAllister.
1
10 Jan 2026 13:29:23
I never said Gallagher was a world beater. But he would fit in as a squad player. I'd have over Macalister any day. You won't see him rolling around faking injury. He won't sulk either. He's a Stevie Nicole type, never going to be the big cheese, but he knows where the cheese is kept and makes a good sarni.
We could do worse. 40m is good money for the player that left. Don't know if he's improved his game, but a few seasons in Italy won't have done him any harm?
0
10 Jan 2026 14:03:11
Conor Gallagher is a decent midfielder with tonnes of energy.
However, I don't think that is what we need and nor is he Liverpool level.
We have so many box-to-box 8s - we need specialist DMs and/ or deep lying playmakers.
Could see Gallagher at Spurs, Newcastle or even United.
1
10 Jan 2026 14:36:48
I suggested Gallagher about 18 months ago but those who know more rubbishd the idea. Personally I see him as a box to box midfielder, good in the press, strong tackler. Would definitely provide more bite than any of our current options, and he seems to be always available. I also think his price tag is about right.
1
10 Jan 2026 14:58:37
Gallagher would be an improvement on Endo. i like Gallagher, good attitude. If we bought him at that price i wouldn't complain but there are supposed MF targets i'd go for ahead of him.
1
10 Jan 2026 15:21:13
Florian - replacing a DM with a no8 is the kind of stupid recruitment we should avoid.
We should replace Endo with a DM that the current coach or next coach will play.
2
10 Jan 2026 16:25:05
Ed01, another example to show that things happen for a reason. Imagine we sign Zubimendi last season and he is this weak, out of position a, d anytime any team gets at him and he is found wanting as he is now? Good grief.
IMO, I always thought Declan Rice is THE Arsenal midfield. Zubimendi does very little without Rice in there even when building play. Grav is levels above him so good thing Slot promoted from within. Hats off to him. Again, things happen for a reason.
1
10 Jan 2026 16:45:04
I don't mind him but he's a bit rough around the edges. Sometimes his touch let's him down and he can rush things when he's on the ball, he acts like a headless chicken often. He runs a lot which is great, but it doesn't always lead to much. I feel like he's more about effort than real quality at times.
2
10 Jan 2026 17:22:15
We should replace endo with me granny.
0
10 Jan 2026 18:01:24
We should replace Slot with your granny too. As for Endo criticising a player who has only played well for us is hilarious. Slot's treatment of him is despicable.

10 Jan 2026 18:40:19
Barry I was against us signing Macca in the first place I just never saw a player there when he was at Brighton.
Last season he happily proved me wrong and was one of our better players.
This season he's been woefully off form but he's far from the only one. I actually thought he did well against Arsenal, particularly in the second half and started to look more like the Macca of last season so I just don't see why there would be so much negativity about him when he's probably just played his best game of the season.
What I will say is I feel people have their biases against players they don't like and so just look for anything they do wrong to confirm their views. I was certainly like that about Thiago when he was here I really couldn't stand the guy.
I also think there's a lot of that going round about Slot right now. Everyone wants to jump on everything he says or every team selection or tactical tweak.
I'm not sold on Slot he's had an extremely poor season but we played well against Arsenal and he deserves credit for that. Or at the very least deserves people to give him a break and stop picking at every little thing he does.
The performance wasn't perfect but it was much better than we've been seeing. I just hope we can take confidence from it and have a decent second half of the season.
0
10 Jan 2026 19:17:29
SD you base it on his performance on the Arsenal game I'm basing mine since the start of the season. He's been terrible and as for his faining injury every match he's just embarrassing himself. I have absolutely no opinion of him as a person but I do as a Liverpool player and he's been crap.
3
10 Jan 2026 19:50:57
My opinion is that he is not good enough for Liverpool fc Frode, if someone thinks he is fair play but not for me. I think he would have been gone in the summer but he wanted to stay which was a bad decision.
Slots treatment of him has not been despicable., its obvious he doesn't rate him as a player and Endo knew that as well last summer. Since when is it wrong for a manager not to use a player he does not rate?
0
11 Jan 2026 01:26:41
I'm not too bothered about the feigning injury thing Barry. Most players in the league do it regularly and it's trained into kids from an early age. It's part of the game now we just have to accept that. I wish it wasn't but it is and other teams gain huge advantages from doing it so if we don't do it ourselves we put ourselves at a disadvantage before we even kick off.
It's fine being holier than thou and dreaming of a world where every footballer is as honest as the day is long but they're not. They will do everything to gain an advantage and managers will encourage it because they need to win games at any cost.
Added to that the PGMOL don't do anything to prevent it, even worse they fall for it every time and so encourage players to do it even more. It just is what it is.
I agree Macca has been poor this season it just seems strange that you are normally a positive poster yet you have recently turned negative after what was a fairly good performance.
I miss the old Barry.

Who's this Yan Diomande. apparently he wants to play at Anfield, he wants to play for Liverpool and his father's dream is for him to join Liverpool.
4
10 Jan 2026 09:12:58
19 year old winger with 7 goals and 4 assists in 16 games this season. Currently at the AFCON with the Ivory Coast.
Very much his breakout season.
4
10 Jan 2026 10:05:40
He has progressed from 4th tier of US football to Bundesliga in a space of 2 years. Red Bull insiders believe he is the most talented player to ever play for the RB group teams, probably an even better one than Haaland.
I haven't seen him play but by the looks of it he looks like a star in the making.
But we have been here before. Gvardiol's love for Liverpool prior to joining City is well-documented. So let's see how it goes.
6
{Ed001's Note - yeah Gvardiol was begging for us to sign him and we passed on by without making any attempt. Ludicrous decision.}
11
10 Jan 2026 10:08:39
His father's name is Neil.
I think Yan will be one for the first team and telling the head coach "Play Me" as soon as he gets here.
4
10 Jan 2026 10:45:23
We seem to rarely buy club fans.
Turan, Gvardiol etc. well maybe we did get Frimpong.
I haven't seen this guy play properly yet but he is young, scores, good dribbler from YouTube.
The main reason I would want him is he said that he is working just on defensive side as attacking. I like that. And a Liverpool fan. Doubt we pull the trigger.
7
{Ed001's Note - we can hope though.}
6
10 Jan 2026 10:58:39
Ed01, I rzad at the time from the legendary ex-rodeo clown that we did inquire about Gvardiol the season City signed him but RBL didn't agree on the structre of the payments even tho, I think it was a release clause of 90m or so.
So on that, we did attempt to sign him. Now how much force was behind that attempt, I don't know. Like you, I wanted him at LFC too. I still do.
1
{Ed001's Note - we just enquired, that is not an attempt to sign. Teams make hundreds of inquiries every year. It is usually just to get an idea of the cost, to figure out whether they are even worth considering at all.}
5
10 Jan 2026 11:14:29
Ed01 - we seem to have some serious issues wanting to buy decent centre backs - Guehi aside of course.

10 Jan 2026 11:17:14
Like Semenyo and Olise we'll show interest when it's too late. The stat men are doing a bang up job. Bring back the old school days of scouting when we could actually see potential and not have to wait around for analysts to gather data.

Just out of interest Diomande is playing tonight in the AFCON, for Ivory Coast against Egypt.
3
10 Jan 2026 11:40:11
He looks a talent but Leipzig are looking for 80m+ pounds for him I've heard. Surely that's a massive gamble on a player who is just beginning to make strides in top level football.
3
10 Jan 2026 14:09:31
Diomande, like Semenyo can play left or right.
Small sample size but he presses, tackles as good as he can dribble and carry the ball at speed.
He's built for the Premier League.
Would love to see him and Malick Fofana, who is also begging to join, play for us.
2
10 Jan 2026 16:26:24
Ed01, that's what I was saying. There seemed to be no force behind the interest except at enquiry level which I know, means nothing.
10 Jan 2026 08:52:03
I can't understand the stand off position LFC are taking with Palace! What's the alternative?
So Konobhead goes on a free. leaving us with VVD Joe Gomez and a recovering Leonie in the summer. Clearly under pressure to sign a ready made player for CB. Looking at £70-£80m?
By then 2 would be required. So say £120m spend?
Taking a chance on letting city in makes no common sense to me.
Go and get the player this week. It will pay dividends in the long run. He is a Class player.
YNWA.
7
10 Jan 2026 09:31:50
You're disappointed with the summer transfer window, already, Chrisy?
We might have wanted Guehi in the summer because of the price, £35m, and because he wanted to come. Things changed and things might have changed again. A deal might be less doable now.
I do hope the club will be looking at centre back options in the summer, too, though.

Class players don't stay at smaller clubs ( no disrespect to palace) why haven't we, United city Chelsea Arsenal etc shown interest before? It's because he's free it's attractive. Bournemouth had class defenders last year was they only there 12 months and gone.

I genuinely think that people are total over estimating guehi's ability just because of how bad our defense has been this season. I actually think he's not much of an upgrade if any at all on what we have. He plays in a back 3 currently that sits deep, we play totally different.
I get we need more bodies to cover but it's not like he's prime Maldini. We clearly need players but I won't be overly upset if this lad ends up somewhere else.

I would imagine if Palace are willing to sell they will want to get in a replacement beforehand.

EM, Guehi was having a medical at LFC while City had Igor from Brighton coming in as a replacement. Well, up until Glasner threw the he toys out the pram and scuppered the whole thing. At least, that's what Ed01 said, I think.

Hellohello, I get your point on Guehi. Last season I said exactly the same, every single time I watched him he didn't look good at all but this season he looks much better. I think he'd be a big improvement on Konate but that's not very difficult to find because Konate is absolutely useless.
I hope we sign him but I don't think we will, I can't see any deals getting done this month.

Hi Rigsby.
It's well documented on here I have been singing MG PRAISE since way before the summer transfer window opened.
I was fuming when we didn't get it done. I also blame Hughes for leaving it so late.
I was chuffed like most with our summer window! Like most posters I thought we would kick on and dominate for years to come.
I highlighted in several quotes I couldn't see how we made the players fit together. But trusted Slot to blend them.
How wrong I was 😩 I had a nagging doubt about the way we played on the run in and again posted about it on here.
People saying he's not a good player are miles of it. He is a class act. He will become a legend at Anfield.
So overall mixed feelings about summer window. I think the players in big plus👍 wish Diaz stayed, but take Ed001 point him and his dad were sneaky snakes, who disrespect what we did for them.
I guess my big disappointment is the fact that Slot just isn't what we all thought he was, and has totally missed what's required by us as fans, the premier league as a whole.
YNWA.

Chrisymate - Fully agree, if I have to watch another much needed talent get snatched out from under us, and still have to listen to fools claiming "Edwards is playing a blinder" I'll end up pulling me hair out mate.

At last a voice of reason hellohello. By the way people talk about Guehi you'd think the lad could beat everyone on his own.
He plays on the left of a back 3 with loads of protection all around him and no space behind him.
We'd be asking him to play in a 2, much higher up the pitch, going one on one with strikers and wingers. It's a totally different skill set. He could adapt really well but I suspect he lacks the height, speed and physicality to do it.
I think he could end up being a worse option than Konate. At least Konate has the height and physical strength even if he does have a million brain farts a game.

Dont see why people think there'll be no deals this season. We could do with a CB, mightnt be Guehi but relying on Joe Gomez to privide cover is very very risky so wouldn't surprise me at all to see someone coming in.
{Ed025's Note - they were abysmal JLC, Garner,s one was a very good save actually but the 2 from Millican and Nesbitt were a joke mate, i hope i find you and yours well my friend..
{Ed001's Note - game goes back for the handball and the goal never happened.}
