COMMENTATOR: What a lovely goal! Absolutely brilliant from Leicester | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
City. Leicester City looked like a completely different team tonight. | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
Crisis? What crisis? Good afternoon. This time last week we were talking | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
about the sacking of Claudio Ranieri 48 hours later, the champions | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
were looking like We'll be live at Leicester and we | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
also have all this on the way: The Vardy party has left Jurgen | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
with a mess to clean up. Against Leicester it was the worst | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
game we played in the season. We have to deliver, to show a reaction. | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
Hugo's boss between the sticks, we catch up with Spurs skipper. | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
It's back to school with Brady and Hendrick. | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
How many days old are you than Robbie? 14th of January, I'm 31st. | :01:30. | :01:39. | |
How many days is that? Geez, you gave us a maths question. | :01:40. | :01:40. | |
Reviewing the situation in Leipzig with Oliver Burke. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
And a couple of Hoops heroes remember the good times. | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Favourite goal, the one against Man United. You sent me off for it. | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
Yeah. You played it incisively. And I still had a lot of work to do. | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
And we've another pair of 90s heart throbs | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
in the studio, in the shape of Danny Murphy and Dion Dublin. | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
LAUGHTER Shocking. | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
We'll start with Leicester, who, just days after ditching | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
Claudio Ranieri, rediscovered the form that made them champions. | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
This time last year, Leicester were three points clear at the top, now | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
they are in the bottom three and without a manager. From the word go, | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
you could see the intensity and passion was there. They tried to | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
press us high up, so we thought, why not do exactly the same to them? | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
Given away by Wijnaldum. Jamie Vardy clean through, great chance. You | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
could see in my celebration, the frustration was getting that out | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
because I haven't scored enough but hopefully now they will start to | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
come. We need to help each other. It showed. Drinkwater! What a goal! | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
Fantastic strike from Danny Drinkwater. | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
Superb play. What a lovely goal! It's absolutely brilliant from | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
Leicester City. Emre Can's done well. It's Coutinho. Liverpool are | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
on the board. Claudio Ranieri's name echoes around the stadium as the | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
Leicester City fans pay their respects. Leicester City three | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
points in the ballad, they are out of the bottom three -- in the bag. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
The criticism has hurt but maybe they had a bit of extra fire in the | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
belly because of that. We have been training but it wasn't clicking. | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
Things haven't been falling for us as it did last year. Luckily tonight | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
it has clicked together. We'll talk about Liverpool and hear | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
from Mr Klopp a bit later, but it was very much | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
Leicester's night. The 11 that was chosen by Craig | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
Shakespeare, they played the majority of last season. It makes | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
sense, with the success they had with that formation, everybody seems | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
to know their jobs. More recently, they haven't. It was a positive | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
performance. One they should now build on hopefully. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
Lots of people have talked about the statistics this week. They have | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
gone! Here we are. They are back, thank you old girl, thank you for | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
coming round. LAUGHTER They were running a lot more than we | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
seen throughout the whole season and in terms of tackles, you can see the | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
figures speak for themselves. The work rate was there. Leicester have | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
got to do what the older people called the ugly things well. Do what | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
you're good at, running round, work hard, have each other's back and | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
that little sprinkling of quality from Vardy and Mahrez on the odd | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
occasion and Okazaki, that will rear its head. But get the basics right, | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
first. Looking back at the game, you saw a lot from Leicester which you | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
liked. They did all the more Dion said. It looked like a team that had | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
been let off a lead. Not deliberately, but they've been | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
confused in their jobs in recent weeks. I've seen them play three at | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
the back, four at the back, Diamond in midfield. They all knew their | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
jobs on Monday night. Their old formation. There worried even | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
thinking about it. Playing with freedom. When you are enjoying | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
football playing in the position you want and you know your mates are | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
behind you, talking to the same guy... They played together almost | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
every game last season. There is a freedom and desire that they showed. | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
This defendant, Dion is going to stop it, look at that. It's not | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
great defending in some ways. It shows their intent. There is an | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
argument from people saying where was this Leicester team in recent | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
weeks for Ranieri? They haven't consciously tried harder on Monday | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
night. Your body language changes, your mentality changes. Is it a | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
release? It is a release. I'm assuming Craig Shakespeare has led | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
to the lads, play with freedom, give me all you've got, go back to your | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
old ways and don't worry about where you are on the pitch. Just do your | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
job. It's like he's lifted the lid off a pressure cooker. What about | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
Jamie Vardy? He got two of the goals. The sort of things he was | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
doing right you looked at. Before I even play this clip, you can see | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
Jamie Vardy buzz my body language. "I Want to score a goal and get into | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
positions ". He wants to be in behind defences to create chances | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
for himself. You can see the next one. On his way. Number nine, gone. | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
He knows Albrighton is going to make his mind up, the midfield players. | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
Dan played midfield. If a centre forward is going to make a run, you | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
will try to find him. It is down to the forward. We already knew he was | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
going to make that run. I don't know if you agree as a striker but | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Okazaki frees up Vardy for that space. Agreed. Watch this. Vardy is | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
in the box. I will pause it at the right moment. Vardy is on the move. | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
Here he is just here. He's got the run. He wants to score | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
goals. He's being proactive, not waiting to see what happens but he | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
just gets in front of Can. He gets a goal through sheer hard work. | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
Amazing how things have changed. Leicester City are playing at home | :07:20. | :07:20. | |
today. Leicester are at home | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
to Hull this afternoon, Vote in full flow in the sunshine. | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
Let's talk about the future of Leicester. -- your coat is in full | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
flow. What is the latest on Roy Hodgson potentially taking over? It | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
is premature and a contingency plan. Craig Shakespeare is in the | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
spotlight. I met him this morning. He was getting here and he looked | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
like a man who was really enjoying his job. Well turned out on a | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
briefcase in hand. He looked as if he was going to do more business | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
today. If he gets a second win in six days, I think it will be very | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
difficult for the owners not to give him at least the chance to finish | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
the season for Leicester. What they do after today, they are going to | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
Dubai for a four day warm weather break this week. They don't play | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
next weekend. Their next match is at home to Seville in the Champions | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
League. As you know, they are only 2-1 down. If Craig Shakespeare could | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
engineer a result in that game, I think he would certainly get the | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
job. I also have a new slant on the Ranieri... Different slant on the | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
Ranieri thing, Dan. My information, which hasn't come from Craig | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
Shakespeare, I hasten to add, from sources here at Leicester is that | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
Ranieri was on thin ice for at least six or seven weeks before he was | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
sacked. The board had heard how confused the dressing room were by | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
his changes in personnel and in formation. He had gone back to being | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
the Tinker man. That had something to do, not everything, by the way, | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
with how his players were underachieving. In a way, if the | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
board wanted to be sentimental about it, they may have left that decision | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
a few weeks longer than they otherwise would. Now then, | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
Shakespeare, Dan, not Craig at the moment but what about the Bard? His | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
namesake, William. He said four things in his plays that sums up | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
Leicester's season perfectly. First of all, the Winter of discontent | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
speaks for itself. Macbeth, off with his head. They were with Ranieri's | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
in the end. The where the Ides of March. That month starts today. It | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
can be tricky for football clubs everywhere, never mind Leicester. . | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
What they are saying here is that the Shakespearean quote they would | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
like to be repeating at the end of the season is "All 's well that ends | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
well" was not forget King Lear, King Watson. Well done! Why didn't you | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
come up with that? Outstanding. I've got to let the master do it. You | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
have already said that you think he would be a good choice although some | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
fans say they are unsure about Roy Hodgson. When he worked at Fulham | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
with myself and at West Brom, he got those clubs punching above their | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
weight. It would definitely make them well organised again. The | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
players would suit playing on the break again. It would be a safe | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
choice. Hull, the house of Mario, a massive game in addition to | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
Leicester and they played some nice football under the new manager. They | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
have. We spoke about this. Huddlestone is the captain at the | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
moment and everything goes through him. He's been unbelievable. I think | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
Hull have a great chance. Leicester may have turned it around with body | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
language in terms of players but Hull have a big say in this game. I | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
tried my best with house of Mary. Let's move on. | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
As we've seen, a blue Monday for Liverpool, | :10:50. | :10:50. | |
who now have won just two from 12 in all competitions this year. | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
So plenty of questions for Juliette Ferrington to ask, | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
Extremely pleasant on the eye from Liverpool. | :10:57. | :11:06. | |
Blistering going forward. Perhaps not so hot at the back. | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
Liverpool will wonder how they let this one slip away. | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
I would so, how are you, but I'm trying to gauge your mood right now, | :11:20. | :11:29. | |
how would you sum up your mood right now? First of all, you can ask how | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
widely because most of the time when nobody expects a real answer. It's | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
like, you OK? Yes. If you answer, not that good, it's probably | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
surprising for most people. But I'm more than OK. | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
It's absolutely brilliant from Leicester City. Finished off by | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
Vardy. This has not gone according to plan at all from Liverpool's | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
point of view. Against Leicester, I would -- would say it was the worst | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
game we played this season unfortunately. But I'm 49, turning | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
50 this year, and meanwhile I'm really not good in losing. But it's | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
a situation. We have to take it. We have to learn off it and we have to | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
change it, obviously. But the whole thing is, and was, always a project | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
with a real target. Be as quick as possible, as successful as possible. | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
And we are still on this way. 17 months, though, in, how much time do | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
you give yourself to be successful? LAUGHTER | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
About the problem. It's not that I would decide only about this. But | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
I'm very, very positive. But how much time I can get for whatever, | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
I've no idea. I'm in close talks, if your question leads in this | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
direction, with our ownership. We are all fine. But, of course, we | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
know we need to deliver and show development. We will, no doubt. Can | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
you deliver this season, what would be successful now? What would be | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
successful? Qualify for the Champions League would be a big | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
success, 100%. Qualifying for the European league, I'm not sure I | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
could sell it as a success but it would be OK. But, for this, we need | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
to get more consistent and that's the job we know about. It's the | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
thing we have to show. Everybody's future is at stake. Is that where | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
these sort of talks are leading, in terms of you have transfer window is | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
coming up, people talk about strengthening your squad. The whole | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
year is squad planning. The one thing is, do you want to go for, the | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
other thing is who you want to keep and all that stuff. That happens | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
always. But it shows a lot at the moment how good they are. It not | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
been consistent is really not nice to talk about because it means you | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
are capable of really big things, but not every day, obviously. That's | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
the thing we need to accept. And to work on it. Our people write about | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
your defence? If we talk about offence, yes, we conceded goals | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
because of different reasons. Did we concede too many? Absolutely. People | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
spoke to me about single players. It was not because of single players. | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
We had to change a lot, that's the truth. Especially in the centre-half | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
positions. It seems like an excuse but it's only an explanation. Mane. | :14:24. | :14:32. | |
Mane brushes Chambers aside. What a performance from Liverpool. Is | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
Arsenal the perfect game for you to bounce back? LAUGHTER | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
Hopefully, yeah. LAUGHTER If you're getting criticism right | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
now and your team is getting criticism, Arsene Wenger has had | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
criticism for the majority of the season. But that's our life. That's | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
not a problem. In this situation, we have to think about how we can be at | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
our best. In the Arsenal game. If we want to stay in this region of the | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
table, we need to bounce back against Arsenal. That's how it is. | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
It's not that we have a choice. The alternative is that, OK, now they've | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
played really well until now against the big teams are now they don't | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
even do this any more. We have no alternative. We have to deliver | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
again to show a reaction. And hopefully we can. | :15:17. | :15:26. | |
It is a very honest assessment. He says he knows Liverpool lack the | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
strength and depth that perhaps some of the other title can contenders | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
have. Is that what he has to address? In the transfer market, | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
yes. Everywhere, really, to make them stronger. I was at the Chelsea | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
game last week and they brought on Matic, Willian, Zouma, with John | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
Terry still on the bench, it is a different world in terms of the | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
strength in depth. The initial 11 has to be better. They are not | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
playing anywhere near the beginning of the season. That is the first | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
time we are questioning some of his tactics. Playing lookers at the back | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
on Monday. Playing a high line. You cannot help but like him. He has | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
been restricted in terms of the finances. I would not give it free | :16:20. | :16:28. | |
reign that I hope he gets a good port and then we can judge him. -- | :16:29. | :16:37. | |
pot. Other managers may have been sacked through this run of games or | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
performances. Because the standards are so high. The squad itself, the | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
bench, the last bench from Liverpool, the worth of that was ?30 | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
million. Against Leicester? Yes, whereas Man Utd was ?100 million. | :16:54. | :17:02. | |
Man Utd are going in the right direction and Jurgen Klopp has to | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
follow that lead if he wants to challenge for honours. He has to | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
finish in the Champions League places. The bull has they are | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
contending for the title, that was not the plan, he has to finish in | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
the top four. Ex-managers have to get there. If he gets the money, | :17:18. | :17:26. | |
fine, but how do you attract players if you are not in the Champions | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
League? That is the difficulty. Two years ago Liverpool were under | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
Brendan a game away from winning the title. How close are the now? I | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
think they are long way off. Another manager desperate to get the top | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
four is Arsene Wenger and they meet each other today in the late game. | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
Liverpool have a great record against other top sides in the | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
division. That is not Liverpool's problem. They have to get out the | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
habit of raising their game for the games they know they can play. | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, they play well, we know that. You have to | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
look in the eye of players when you are playing Hull, Leicester, who are | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
struggling. Liverpool players do not want to play in that kind of game | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
and have to change their mentality. Classic of losing to less than an | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
then beating Arsenal. Is it a huge feather in your cap? It is true. | :18:28. | :18:37. | |
Henderson is a big mess. I still fancy Liverpool to win the game. It | :18:38. | :18:46. | |
is the reverse of the opening day fixtures. Important matches at the | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
bottom as well. Middlesbrough without a win since Christmas. | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
Crystal Palace looking to build on their recent win. Second place | :18:55. | :19:03. | |
spires against Everton. -- Tottenham. Manchester United are | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
back in action after winning the first silverware of the season last | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
weekend. 2017 has been a good year | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
so far for Mourinho's men. The same cannot be said of today's | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
opponents Bournemouth. Worrying times ahead. Bournemouth | :19:22. | :19:37. | |
have been giving away too many goals of late. It is in! They were 3-0 | :19:38. | :19:55. | |
down and have turned it round. What a mistake by the goalkeeper. Lukaku! | :19:56. | :20:10. | |
Southampton six, Bournemouth three. So will Bournemouth be able to claim | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
a first win of 2017 at Old Trafford? Most would consider that doubtful. | :20:17. | :20:27. | |
Even their manager is a doubt. Eddie Howe has gastroenteritis so he has | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
not travelled with the team but he pledges to be bedside for kick-off. | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
Jason Tindall is in charge of a team missing Simon Francis. There are | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
only change is an attack minded one, Afobe coming in for Jack Wilshere | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
who is one of the substitutes. All is well apart from Henrikh | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
Mkhitaryan. Luke Shaw, his first Premier League game since October, | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
starts. Wayne Rooney has been a score of the last waste these teams | :21:02. | :21:02. | |
met. -- score the last twice. Two points from 21 in 2017, | :21:03. | :21:18. | |
20 goals conceded in that time, 51 in total, | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
only Swansea are worse. They have real issues. They make so | :21:21. | :21:31. | |
many individual errors. You can argue any goal is an error. You | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
blame that rather than tactics? No, it is a bit of both because the | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
tactics create some of the problems. He has wanted the teams to play out | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
from the back and they are getting caught trying to do that. Do you go | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
a different way with your tactics? I am not mess as I lay saying you | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
should do that but they have not got as many options defensively as they | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
have in second areas so they have been limited at the back. The | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
full-backs fly forward which does not help the centre has. They can | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
get a win because they can stop conceding. -- cannot. You have to | :22:13. | :22:23. | |
place responsibility on the players who are doing the job. You give them | :22:24. | :22:58. | |
a formation. As a senior or one of the players you have to listen. Get | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
us up the pitch, because we cannot get out. They have to make decisions | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
on the pitch. They play Manchester United with one trophy under their | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
belt. Wayne Rooney is starting. His going to Everton has been a big | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
rumour. He is more than good enough to play. Who is he in place of? I | :23:08. | :23:16. | |
cannot see that happening. Where is your philosophy as a club, how to | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
get those young players games? I am glad to see him starting. He has | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
loads to offer. He has kept his head down well. What about Ibrahimovic? | :23:26. | :23:35. | |
Mourinho encouraging the fans to camp outside his house to encourage | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
him to stay at the club. If they can stay there can they keep them? I | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
hope so. He is really enjoying his football. I believe he will stay. If | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
they do not get it I believe he will stay. He is 35, I am not sure if he | :23:51. | :23:59. | |
is 36. To score 20 goals two seasons running at that age and continue to | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
be... Defenders fear playing against him, that is incredible. United will | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
just get better and better. They have to do what they can to keep | :24:12. | :24:12. | |
him. So Manchester United with one | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
trophy in the cabinet. The next step comes a week | :24:17. | :24:18. | |
on Monday at the Bridge. That has sealed Chelsea's place in | :24:19. | :24:38. | |
the last eight. United made it look so easy. I have won cups and every | :24:39. | :24:46. | |
club. It is becoming humiliation for Manchester United. | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
Final Score will have reaction from United's game today and updates | :24:51. | :24:53. | |

And coverage of the European Indoor Athletics Championships continues | :24:59. | :25:05. | |

Next Sunday Tottenham's FA Cup quarterfinal | :25:18. | :25:19. | |
is also live on BBC One, but tomorrow they'll look to close | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
the gap on Chelsea at the top of the Premier League. | :25:23. | :25:24. | |
Leading them against Everton will be French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
and he's been talking to Ivan Gaskell. | :25:28. | :25:42. | |
# What a man #. Bonjour. We will stick to English if you don't mind! | :25:43. | :26:00. | |
Is this a good place to be? Yes. Thanks to Pochettino. Since the | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
beginning he has brought his energy, philosophy, he has created a real | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
atmosphere inside the training ground and Tottenham Hotspur since | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
five years and I think that today is not the same club as when I first | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
came. Improve the lot and I think we reduced the gap with the best club | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
in England, and this is a way that we try to go all together, United | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
and committed with the club. Our Chelsea uncomfortable? They have a | :26:34. | :26:46. | |
big gap. -- will Chelsea be unable to be caught? They are real | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
contenders. The others try to be challengers. We feel step-by-step we | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
are reducing the gap. Do you need a trophy? Yes. In football it is | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
difficult to create success in one season. Obviously Leicester is the | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
example that is the opposite. The project in Tottenham is to create | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
basics inside the squad to keep responsibility to leaders and young | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
talented players who will have a great future with Tottenham and | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
England and national team. Dele Alli, I understand his dog is called | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
Mr Hugo. Is that anything to do with you? I don't think so. Have you met | :27:38. | :27:46. | |
his dog? No, but I will ask him after the interview. You can take | :27:47. | :27:53. | |
him for a walk. Dele Alli is a great talent. He knows that I will always | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
back him. Ireland like him. I like his personality and his character on | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
the pitch. He is in the best club at the moment to improve his game under | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
Pochettino. Dele Alli can be the symbol like Harry Kane is. Everton | :28:12. | :28:20. | |
is the big challenge on Sunday, to play at home in front of a crowd, I | :28:21. | :28:28. | |
think it is a last chance to finish in the top six, so it will be a | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
decisive game in the future for both teams. It is important to get the | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
advantage against the other challengers. How do you prepare for | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
a striker like Lukaku? I give the responsibility to my defenders! | :28:43. | :28:46. | |
Not a bad idea, they have the best defensive record. | :28:47. | :28:53. | |
How big a part does Lloris play in that? | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
He is huge to what Tottenham do at the back. Yes. I played a quarter of | :28:58. | :29:05. | |
my career at centre-half and having a goalkeeper behind you that you | :29:06. | :29:10. | |
know you trust, it is huge. As a back four, the back four has been | :29:11. | :29:14. | |
pretty much the same four players... A few injuries. Yes, but they find | :29:15. | :29:20. | |
their way back together again. When you have a settled back four and a | :29:21. | :29:25. | |
goalkeeper who is telling you where tickle, telling you to turn your | :29:26. | :29:32. | |
shoulders, it is huge. I like how he is in charge of the whole back five. | :29:33. | :29:37. | |
Everyone looks to him. Where do you want me? A big part of Tottenham's | :29:38. | :29:44. | |
success. Talking about winning mentality, Pochettino has changed | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
the club. Can you compared to when you were there? Not including the | :29:49. | :29:56. | |
beer. When I was there the club was trying to do things the right way. | :29:57. | :30:00. | |
There was a good mentality. A winning mentality comes from a coach | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
who comes in and get the players winning things after things on the | :30:05. | :30:09. | |
training pitch. You cannot have the winning mentality and not win games. | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
Collectively he has that group punching above their weight. My | :30:15. | :30:22. | |
understanding is, I know one or two of the boys, the intensity of the | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
training is really good, which helps their fitness, the demand on them | :30:27. | :30:31. | |
from him is constant, which improves your performance. | :30:32. | :30:41. | |
Eva Marie is talked about Lukaku. Spurs- Everton will be a comparison | :30:42. | :30:50. | |
against Kane and Lukaku. Who do you go to? | :30:51. | :30:54. | |
We were chatting and I would go for Kane. We agreed. He has more | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
consistency. Different strengths from both of them, both wonderful | :31:00. | :31:04. | |
players. We forget how young they are, especially Lukaku. He takes | :31:05. | :31:08. | |
unfair criticism at times, he scored at Everton and West Brom. He is so | :31:09. | :31:12. | |
powerful that sometimes when he gets tired he is not quite fit enough and | :31:13. | :31:18. | |
he looks a bit loose. With both of them, you will get 15, 20 goals per | :31:19. | :31:23. | |
season. When Lukaku is honoured, potentially he could be better. If | :31:24. | :31:28. | |
you are asking me right now, Kane or Lukaku to score me goals I will go | :31:29. | :31:30. | |
Kane every time. Some sad news now concerning | :31:31. | :31:32. | |
a great Evertonian. Their former Scottish international, | :31:33. | :31:34. | |
Alex Young, died earlier this He won the Scottish league | :31:35. | :31:36. | |
title twice with Hearts before moving to Everton, | :31:37. | :31:40. | |
where he was part of a Toffees' forward line, which claimed | :31:41. | :31:42. | |
the Championship in 1963, and the FA Cup at Wembley | :31:43. | :31:44. | |
three years later. His elegant style earned | :31:45. | :31:51. | |
the nickname "The Golden Vision". Some lovely tribute this week on the | :31:52. | :32:02. | |
BBC website as well. When Robbie Brady joined Burnley | :32:03. | :32:07. | |
in January he arrived in East Lancashire to be greeted | :32:08. | :32:09. | |
by a very familiar face. He and Jeff Hendrick have been close | :32:10. | :32:12. | |
since their school days, and Will Perry has been taking | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
register with the friends reunited. How well do you know your best | :32:16. | :32:29. | |
friend? Pretty confident? Don't know. | :32:30. | :32:32. | |
What colour are Jeff's eyes? Brown. Green, brown. How many days older | :32:33. | :32:42. | |
youth and Robbie? 14th of January and I'm 31st. You've given us a | :32:43. | :32:50. | |
maths question. Tell us where this bromance started. We must have been | :32:51. | :32:55. | |
seven, eight years old. I just joined Saint Kevin 's boys football | :32:56. | :32:56. | |
club. It went on since then and we played | :32:57. | :33:06. | |
in every team since then. Luckily enough we found ourselves back | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
together playing now. How much of a role did you play, Jeff, in getting | :33:11. | :33:16. | |
Robbie to Burnley? I told him it was up to him. Obviously I would love to | :33:17. | :33:19. | |
have him here, it would be great for me and the club but the main thing | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
was for him to go to a club which he really enjoy it and thought he would | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
be able to kick on with. Thankfully, he chose us. Do you see much of each | :33:29. | :33:32. | |
other after training? You are doing this here today. How much of each | :33:33. | :33:37. | |
other do you see? It takes a bit of time to settled in my own place. I | :33:38. | :33:44. | |
have seen him the last couple of weeks on and off. So... What does | :33:45. | :33:51. | |
that mean? It's been all right. Why are you laughing? Go on, Jeff, | :33:52. | :33:57. | |
what's funny? I can't! It's a brilliant story, let's be honest. | :33:58. | :34:01. | |
Not only for two guys to be playing at the same Premier League team | :34:02. | :34:05. | |
together but to play for your country and having been in that | :34:06. | :34:09. | |
schoolboy team, that was your dream, wasn't it? We wanted to be | :34:10. | :34:14. | |
footballers. We didn't really think about anything else other than being | :34:15. | :34:20. | |
a footballer. All the years growing up, people said, what if you don't | :34:21. | :34:24. | |
make it as a footballer? I was stubborn and I was saying I'm going | :34:25. | :34:29. | |
to be a footballer. And luckily it worked out. Luckfully! In it goes | :34:30. | :34:42. | |
and the place goes mad. Robbie Brady. That goal, Robbie? It was | :34:43. | :34:49. | |
enjoyable. The most enjoyable moment in football so far. Everybody | :34:50. | :34:52. | |
suddenly knew, your whole family, your girlfriend, celebrating, what a | :34:53. | :34:57. | |
moment it was. For me and my family it was amazing. And you have both | :34:58. | :35:06. | |
scored, let's face it, absolute worldies for Burnley. Great control | :35:07. | :35:14. | |
by Hendrick. What a finish. Brady. Brilliant Brady for Burnley. Whose | :35:15. | :35:20. | |
was better? Jeff's had a bit more about it. Look at that! We talked | :35:21. | :35:24. | |
about it. You think it has a bit more about it. It went in. But his | :35:25. | :35:30. | |
was a bit more to it. The defeat against Lincoln, how embarrassing | :35:31. | :35:34. | |
was that? I wouldn't say embarrassing. It was the FA Cup. | :35:35. | :35:37. | |
Four years you've seen big teams go out to smaller clubs. There's no | :35:38. | :35:43. | |
shame in getting beaten by someone. Definitely not embarrassment. In | :35:44. | :35:47. | |
terms of performance, we've kicked on from it. We put it at the back of | :35:48. | :35:51. | |
our mind. The main aim is to stay in the league this season. There is a | :35:52. | :35:55. | |
lot of focus on. We know what we need to focus on and hopefully we | :35:56. | :35:58. | |
can keep on putting in good performances until the end of the | :35:59. | :36:03. | |
season. Brady and Hendrik were taking part in a Burnley school, | :36:04. | :36:08. | |
playing with the kids as part of the Premier League 's primary stars | :36:09. | :36:12. | |
programme. You think the free kicks are better skill from Brady? I think | :36:13. | :36:16. | |
it's a more difficult skill because everything is already set up. A wall | :36:17. | :36:20. | |
in front, goalkeeper and you need to put the ball in a certain position. | :36:21. | :36:26. | |
Dan thinks was harder. A touch like that visible -- Hendricks was | :36:27. | :36:31. | |
harder. It comes easy for some people. On Burnley, has there been a | :36:32. | :36:35. | |
bit of a change? Last time in the Premier League they didn't spend | :36:36. | :36:38. | |
much money that they have been brought in along with others. From | :36:39. | :36:43. | |
Burnley's standards, a considerable amount of cash and a great training | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
ground. Is Sean Dyche building for the future? That is the word, | :36:49. | :36:52. | |
building. He is taking his time, not be allowed to be flash. He's not | :36:53. | :36:57. | |
been flash. He's brought in good, solid players that will make a | :36:58. | :37:00. | |
difference to the squad of players he's already got. I know Sean Dyche, | :37:01. | :37:06. | |
I played with him at Millwall, he's an out and out a winner. Captain, | :37:07. | :37:10. | |
centre-half he was. We did what he was told and his players are doing | :37:11. | :37:15. | |
the same. When you get quality in, the quality will attract quality. If | :37:16. | :37:19. | |
you can keep that quality, you will get another two or three players in | :37:20. | :37:23. | |
as the season goes. They are right in the middle of the table. Still | :37:24. | :37:26. | |
need to take care of their away form, two points on the road all | :37:27. | :37:30. | |
season and they take on Swansea this weekend. Swansea played OK in parts | :37:31. | :37:34. | |
against four at Chelsea last week that they were well beaten. It was | :37:35. | :37:38. | |
better than OK. They were a bit defensive in the first half, which | :37:39. | :37:42. | |
is understandable, going to Chelsea. And you think, be a bit braver. They | :37:43. | :37:45. | |
grew into the game. Their first chance they got a goal. They are | :37:46. | :37:50. | |
playing good football and do not look like a team at the bottom. That | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
is hard to do when you are near the bottom. That comes from the manager. | :37:55. | :37:59. | |
If that mentality? It is the manager giving new freedom to make mistakes | :38:00. | :38:03. | |
and play. He's brought young Carroll in the middle of the park, terrific. | :38:04. | :38:07. | |
Sigurdsson has another lease of life. He is a tremendous player. | :38:08. | :38:10. | |
Considering the opposition they've had in the last month, they've come | :38:11. | :38:15. | |
through it with flying colours. Even if you don't win every game, they | :38:16. | :38:19. | |
lost last minute at City four example. It gives you believe in | :38:20. | :38:23. | |
what you are doing. I expect them to win today. They have confidence. | :38:24. | :38:26. | |
Another of the sides battling relegation in action | :38:27. | :38:28. | |
Sam Allardyce was talking about getting back to basics. Very | :38:29. | :38:40. | |
defensively solid last week. Not Route one but trying to make the | :38:41. | :38:43. | |
most Benteke at the other end. That exactly what he's got to do. That is | :38:44. | :38:48. | |
the blueprint for Crystal Palace between now and the end of the | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
season because they've conceded far too many goals, more separate goals | :38:53. | :38:54. | |
than any other team in the Premier League. They need to shore things up | :38:55. | :38:58. | |
at the back and he's made changes there with Sakho and van Aanholt | :38:59. | :39:02. | |
coming in. A clean sheet last weekend, they will try to build on | :39:03. | :39:06. | |
that. In terms of Palace being successful going forward, they have | :39:07. | :39:11. | |
opportunities. Benteke's a good striker and we've seen in a | :39:12. | :39:13. | |
relegation battle with him before when he was at Villa. If you give | :39:14. | :39:17. | |
him chances, he will score goals, even in a poor team. They have the | :39:18. | :39:21. | |
players that will give them the opportunities with Wilfried Zaha at, | :39:22. | :39:26. | |
Andros Townsend and Jason Puncheon. They have got to shore things up at | :39:27. | :39:31. | |
the back to stand a chance. It is the wise policy going forward for | :39:32. | :39:35. | |
Crystal Palace. No such problems for West Bromwich Albion. Up to 40 | :39:36. | :39:39. | |
points already and if they win today they will equal their points talent | :39:40. | :39:44. | |
tally for the whole of last season -- points tally. But at home, | :39:45. | :39:46. | |
unbeaten in the last five matches and Tony Pulis will be up for this | :39:47. | :39:51. | |
against his old club Crystal Palace today. Thank you, plenty more from | :39:52. | :39:53. | |
Simon. Food, glorious food. They do like a | :39:54. | :40:09. | |
sausage out here, don't they? They love their sausages, things like | :40:10. | :40:10. | |
that. They do. A couple of artful dodgers | :40:11. | :40:12. | |
are reunited at QPR. And we close the power hour | :40:13. | :40:14. | |
with Gower as he takes on Lawro FA Cup quarterfinals next weekend | :40:15. | :40:17. | |
and on Wednesday night Manchester City and Huddersfield | :40:18. | :40:24. | |
fought it out for the final COMMENTATOR: Third in the Premier | :40:25. | :40:35. | |
League beat third in the championship, a division up at -- | :40:36. | :40:42. | |
plays third. Crashing against the post. Manchester City very close to | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
taking the lead. Huddersfield have the leader! | :40:47. | :40:49. | |
Sterling tries to tiptoe his way through. Leroy Sane's there. Sergio | :40:50. | :40:58. | |
Aguero against Coleman. 2-1. Aguero will try to make it. Turned in by | :40:59. | :41:07. | |
Zabaleta. 3-1, Manchester City. Could be another chance. Bravo makes | :41:08. | :41:11. | |
the block and grabs it at the second attempt. It was a chance, a good | :41:12. | :41:18. | |
chance, as well. Kevin De Bruyne for Manchester City and the save made by | :41:19. | :41:22. | |
Joe Coleman. Alarm bells ringing for Huddersfield. Into the back of the | :41:23. | :41:28. | |
net by Aguero. Corner. A good chance. Iheanacho with the touch. | :41:29. | :41:36. | |
The cherry on the top of Manchester City's fifth round performance. | :41:37. | :41:41. | |
Danny will be there. You are mightily impressed with Billing in | :41:42. | :41:48. | |
midfield. After the game, Pep Guardiola was desperate to talk | :41:49. | :41:51. | |
about Sergio Aguero. On the sideline he was clapping him, applauding him | :41:52. | :41:54. | |
all the time and Aguero seemed to respond. He worked so hard. I | :41:55. | :41:59. | |
noticed when I was watching the game. I think that is fantastic that | :42:00. | :42:05. | |
he is doing that in many ways. It helps when you have a forward who is | :42:06. | :42:09. | |
willing to put the miles in, no doubt. But we know his quality, his | :42:10. | :42:13. | |
goal-scoring ability. But there is a worry that if you do too much of | :42:14. | :42:18. | |
that and you focus on it too much as a striker, it takes away from your | :42:19. | :42:21. | |
main strengths. It didn't on the night because here he is. But the | :42:22. | :42:26. | |
worry with Aguero, he picks up these little niggles a lot. Hamstring, | :42:27. | :42:30. | |
groin, three weeks out here, two weeks out here. At 4-1, he made a | :42:31. | :42:35. | |
couple of sprints to close people done, the one he was talking about | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
when Guardiola came out. He sprinted across and tried to do a big lunge | :42:40. | :42:45. | |
that forwards do. And the fans were... Keep running around like | :42:46. | :42:49. | |
that, then the... Watt hamstring goes. Some centre forwards | :42:50. | :42:53. | |
especially have to do the work to create as much luck as you possibly | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
can during the game. The harder you work the more a lot you get. Danny | :42:59. | :43:01. | |
was there on Wednesday and so was David Moyes. Manchester City play | :43:02. | :43:04. | |
this weekend. Talked about Swansea playing well, you don't think they | :43:05. | :43:08. | |
will be in trouble. This sudden and would be worried about Manchester | :43:09. | :43:12. | |
City's forward line, there are real concerns going forward this season | :43:13. | :43:14. | |
and would be worried about Manchester City's forward line, | :43:15. | :43:16. | |
there are real concerns going forward this season I don't know | :43:17. | :43:19. | |
where to look beyond Jermain Defoe in giving them hope. Are they | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
playing good enough football? Sometimes, Dan, it's not about | :43:25. | :43:27. | |
playing good football. When you are in a relegation fight you've just | :43:28. | :43:30. | |
got to roll up your sleeves, pull your socks up. We spoke about | :43:31. | :43:34. | |
Leicester at the touch screen earlier but do the basics right, | :43:35. | :43:39. | |
work incredibly hard, don't concede silly goals, which they've done for | :43:40. | :43:42. | |
the past three seasons. Hopefully that sprinkling of quality you've | :43:43. | :43:45. | |
got like Jermain Defoe might get you a point but it's not good enough | :43:46. | :43:51. | |
that way. Pep Guardiola also talked about Luis Enrique leaving Barcelona | :43:52. | :43:56. | |
for a rest. Using Frittelli successful. -- he is incredibly | :43:57. | :44:00. | |
successful. What is it about Barcelona that tie that managers? It | :44:01. | :44:04. | |
is the intensity. Every day they must be under the spotlight. Go have | :44:05. | :44:10. | |
a rest and enjoy yourself. Get a bit of sunshine. Who doesn't like a | :44:11. | :44:11. | |
sabbatical? There are highlights of Sunderland v | :44:12. | :44:12. | |
Manchester City and Spurs v Everton on Match of the Day 2 tomorrow | :44:13. | :44:15. | |
night at 10.30pm. Phil Neville and Jermaine | :44:16. | :44:18. | |
Jenas on that one. Tonight from 10pm, there's live | :44:19. | :44:20. | |
coverage of England's latest match in the #SheBelieves Cup as they take | :44:21. | :44:22. | |
on hosts USA in New Jersey. From France to Germany, | :44:23. | :44:30. | |
where RB Leipzig have been making a real stir since starting out | :44:31. | :44:32. | |
back in 2009. After four promotions, | :44:33. | :44:34. | |
the controversial club are currently second in the Bundesliga, | :44:35. | :44:36. | |
and their 19 year-old Scottish winger, Oliver Burke, | :44:37. | :44:38. | |
has been talking football, Take us back to last August and tell | :44:39. | :45:08. | |
us how the move happened. Yes, I played against Leeds United at the | :45:09. | :45:13. | |
City Ground and I remember speaking to my agent before the game and he | :45:14. | :45:20. | |
told me about Leipzig and I was thinking, an international club are | :45:21. | :45:26. | |
interested in me and he told be the facilities are amazing and they | :45:27. | :45:32. | |
seemed a lot more bothered than very keen on having me as a player did | :45:33. | :45:41. | |
you Google them? I did. There are two teams. RB Salzburg and RB | :45:42. | :46:01. | |
Leipzig. I feel I belong here. It was the right decision. A chance for | :46:02. | :46:06. | |
Oliver Burke! He has scored. He has his first goal in German German | :46:07. | :46:14. | |
football. It is great to get off to such a great start. They deserve | :46:15. | :46:18. | |
first season in the Bundesliga at the top. I was expecting it to be | :46:19. | :46:25. | |
very good for us but not at the very top, battling for the champions. We | :46:26. | :46:30. | |
all get on so well and I think that is bigger when you are in a team, | :46:31. | :46:37. | |
everybody is behind each other and has the same goals which is really | :46:38. | :46:42. | |
good. Has there been a specific moment when you looked around and | :46:43. | :46:47. | |
thought wow? Probably the first game when I set-up the goal against | :46:48. | :46:52. | |
Dortmund. I had to pinch myself after the game. How is the German | :46:53. | :46:58. | |
coming? There are a little bit I can hear on the pitch and I finish off | :46:59. | :47:03. | |
the sentence in England because my German is not so good. It is my | :47:04. | :47:07. | |
first time learning a language so it is difficult but I will get there. A | :47:08. | :47:16. | |
lot of fans have branded RB Leipzig about being linked with Red Bull. | :47:17. | :47:21. | |
Does that affect the football? It does not affect you when you are on | :47:22. | :47:25. | |
the pitch. If you glance up it kind of makes you feel, what is going on? | :47:26. | :47:31. | |
A little bit intimidated. It is part of football. It is how it is. Your | :47:32. | :47:42. | |
family are joining you in Leipzig. Yes, that is key for my development | :47:43. | :47:47. | |
to keep them close. My mum can do my washing and cooking. We have food | :47:48. | :47:54. | |
here, the food is brilliant. It is good to have my mum around and my | :47:55. | :48:03. | |
stepdad. Isn't it good to see... I know there are politics around RB | :48:04. | :48:08. | |
Leipzig but isn't it good to see a young British player testing himself | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
in a foreign country? 19 years old, brave decision. By the looks of it, | :48:13. | :48:18. | |
he is smiling, enjoying his football, enjoying where he is | :48:19. | :48:23. | |
living. We were just speaking while he was talking and Dan was saying | :48:24. | :48:29. | |
that sometimes it is not about the club, it is about who once you, who | :48:30. | :48:35. | |
really wants you to play for them. I thought that was a great point. If | :48:36. | :48:40. | |
somebody wants you and they make you feel welcome, it can sway your | :48:41. | :48:50. | |
decision. I was a little bit dubious when I heard about Batman. I listen | :48:51. | :48:55. | |
to and he said no one else really wanted me that much. As a player | :48:56. | :49:01. | |
that is a huge thing. I went where I felt wanted. | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
Celtic might be closing in on the Scottish title, | :49:06. | :49:07. | |
27 points clear after a 4-0 win at Inverness on Wednesday, | :49:08. | :49:10. | |
but there was sad news this week concerning one | :49:11. | :49:12. | |
One of the legendary Lisbon Lions, Tommy Gemmell, | :49:13. | :49:16. | |
He was part of the team that became the first British side to win | :49:17. | :49:23. | |
the European Cup in 1967, scoring in a 2-1 win | :49:24. | :49:25. | |
He also scored in the final three years later as Celtic | :49:26. | :49:29. | |
In all, he appeared over 400 times for Celtic between 1961 and 1971. | :49:30. | :49:35. | |
In addition to representing his country, Gemmell also played | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
for Nottingham Forest and Dundee, but it's that day in Portugal 50 | :49:40. | :49:42. | |
years ago that ensured him of a place in Celtic folklore. | :49:43. | :49:52. | |
1967 was a wonderful year for Celtic and a special one | :49:53. | :49:57. | |
for Queens Park Rangers, and today marks the 50th anniversary | :49:58. | :49:59. | |
of their League Cup triumph, their only major trophy. | :50:00. | :50:02. | |
One man seeking fresh success at Loftus Road is Director | :50:03. | :50:05. | |
We sent his old teammate Trevor Sinclair to talk QPR - | :50:06. | :50:10. | |
The area has changed since I was last year. The BBC studios. These | :50:11. | :50:30. | |
5-a-sides pitches, something to do with QPR community trust. We are | :50:31. | :50:35. | |
going to speak to a man who is going to mould the future, Les Ferdinand. | :50:36. | :50:45. | |
How are you doing? Thank you for having us. Shall we have a chat? | :50:46. | :50:53. | |
What was it like growing up in the 70s and 80s here? It was very | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
different at the time. I used to come past the stadium every day. | :50:58. | :51:01. | |
Sometimes preparing for a game on the way home you could never | :51:02. | :51:07. | |
envisage playing in a stadium. Good chance. Superbly taken by Gerry | :51:08. | :51:13. | |
Francis. You played for Gerry Francis. What was he like to play | :51:14. | :51:17. | |
for? He was the pivotal turning point for me at this football club. | :51:18. | :51:22. | |
He said to me, I am going to make you my Centre forward. Ferdinand! | :51:23. | :51:30. | |
Super goal. I was told that young black boys do not head the ball. The | :51:31. | :51:38. | |
first couple of times it hurt a bit. It was about working on the | :51:39. | :51:48. | |
technique. I scored a couple of nice ones. A couple against Man Utd. I | :51:49. | :51:56. | |
still had a lot of work to do. Ferdinand. Wonderful goal! Wonderful | :51:57. | :52:07. | |
goal by Les Ferdinand. It has not changed much. Unfortunately there's | :52:08. | :52:13. | |
not a lot we can do because of and staff. Just up here, get a bit of | :52:14. | :52:23. | |
abuse and staff. Coming back into this and understanding the role you | :52:24. | :52:29. | |
are going to get stick. Do you see certain situations of a different | :52:30. | :52:33. | |
light now you are upstairs? Yes. I never miss a chance from upstairs. | :52:34. | :52:42. | |
We cannot buy ready-made, proven, we are having to gamble on talent, | :52:43. | :52:46. | |
pretty much like yourself, myself. Somebody said to me, none of the | :52:47. | :52:52. | |
Centre forwards I liked you. The Les Ferdinand you sold from QPR did not | :52:53. | :52:57. | |
come here like that. He was developed here. That is what we are | :52:58. | :53:04. | |
trying to do. This is it. The hot seat. Can you imagine yourself being | :53:05. | :53:12. | |
there? I have done on several occasions. There's a reason I did | :53:13. | :53:20. | |
all the badges. It has been interesting. I have worked under | :53:21. | :53:24. | |
some great managers in my time. At some stage I am sure I will have a | :53:25. | :53:30. | |
go. Ian Holloway scores. We both remembered playing with him back in | :53:31. | :53:34. | |
the day. I've has he changed? He is no different. I remember him coming | :53:35. | :53:40. | |
into the offices and he put music on and he was dancing around. Everyone | :53:41. | :53:45. | |
was going, what is going on? I know Ian and this is Ian. This is what | :53:46. | :53:50. | |
you get. Hopefully we have someone in here that is full of enthusiasm | :53:51. | :53:57. | |
and wants people to matches enthusiasm. He is great to have | :53:58. | :54:05. | |
around the place. Manchester United have already scored, 1-0 up at Old | :54:06. | :54:12. | |
Trafford against Bournemouth. QPR have spent a lot of money in the | :54:13. | :54:16. | |
past. This is quite a big change from them, doing what they did with | :54:17. | :54:21. | |
him, developing players, finding talent. They do not have much choice | :54:22. | :54:26. | |
after what happened. They went crazy in the transfer market and with | :54:27. | :54:30. | |
their wages and it has taken years to get the club back to a stable | :54:31. | :54:34. | |
position. All three is a good appointment. He has got promotion | :54:35. | :54:46. | |
out of that. It is good to see Trevor going into doing interview. | :54:47. | :54:58. | |
Leeds won 3-1 at Birmingham last night. A point behind Huddersfield. | :54:59. | :55:06. | |
Preparing for the promotion race. It is really hotting up. Fascinating to | :55:07. | :55:12. | |
watch. It is. We are hurtling towards the finishing line, nine | :55:13. | :55:16. | |
weeks left in the Championship and eight in League one. Do not ask me | :55:17. | :55:20. | |
why! This afternoon in the Championship at the top the lead | :55:21. | :55:27. | |
could change place for the 17th and 18th times this season. Newcastle | :55:28. | :55:32. | |
went top during the week and Brighton could retake the lead. | :55:33. | :55:37. | |
Newcastle going to Huddersfield. We can hear from Rafael Benitez on what | :55:38. | :55:43. | |
it takes to keep his Newcastle players mentally tuned on getting | :55:44. | :55:48. | |
back into the Premier League. It is always important but especially when | :55:49. | :55:51. | |
you are close to the end of the season and every single game, every | :55:52. | :55:56. | |
single point can make a difference. It is quite important for us that we | :55:57. | :56:02. | |
have this confidence that they see before and also we approach the game | :56:03. | :56:10. | |
thinking we have enough quality to win and the mentality has to be | :56:11. | :56:17. | |
right. It is such an exciting... Looking at the fixtures, so much | :56:18. | :56:20. | |
going on. So much affecting the play-off position from six to 11. | :56:21. | :56:29. | |
Ten points separate them. Lots of relegation stuff in the | :56:30. | :56:32. | |
Championship, Blackburn Wigan, Bristol City with the Master win | :56:33. | :56:38. | |
against Burton. Second against third in League one and League Two. | :56:39. | :56:41. | |
Scunthorpe flattening a bit against Fleetwood. A huge trip for Carlisle | :56:42. | :56:53. | |
in leak -- League Two. Lots happening. Not just the | :56:54. | :56:57. | |
commemorative kit but club records could be broken, fan boycotts, we | :56:58. | :57:02. | |
have the lot. Final score is from 2:30pm. For 10pm -- on the red | :57:03. | :57:16. | |
button. 4:10pm on BBC One. Do you see it as being Newcastle? The next | :57:17. | :57:22. | |
two games for Newcastle if they win I think they have done the hard | :57:23. | :57:27. | |
work. It is hard to look beyond Newcastle. Big game against | :57:28. | :57:32. | |
Huddersfield. We saw them against Manchester City. That is going to be | :57:33. | :57:36. | |
a big game. We're back at the same | :57:37. | :57:38. | |
time next Saturday. Former England captain David Gower | :57:39. | :57:42. | |
is currently on tour with his cricket show but he's taken | :57:43. | :57:50. | |
time out to take on a man never Having played cricket for a | :57:51. | :58:07. | |
Leicestershire the obvious team to support is Leicester City. The | :58:08. | :58:13. | |
Premiership this season it is a question of how the mighty have | :58:14. | :58:17. | |
fallen. Going back to my support in inverted commas, that has been a | :58:18. | :58:22. | |
real change. It has been fun having you, Claudio Ranieri. It is all | :58:23. | :58:31. | |
about surviving the drop. Superb piece of timing. My chances of | :58:32. | :58:37. | |
playing professional football between one and a hundred are zero. | :58:38. | :58:46. | |
I played with the wrong shaped ball. I live sometimes near Southampton so | :58:47. | :58:50. | |
I am going to go with them. Tottenham are in great form. | :58:51. | :58:59. | |
Leicester City resurgence having won their first game this year will win | :59:00. | :59:01. | |
that | :59:02. | :59:03. |
