Good afternoon and a warm welcome to Match of the Day to Extra on BBC | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
Two, five live and the BBC sport website. Joining me Hull City | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
defender Curtis Davies and former Norwich, Celtic striker Chris Sutton | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
and Andy Dunn generalist with the daily Mirror. We'd love to hear from | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
you, get in touch with us using our hashtag or send us text. This is | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
what is coming up. Advantage pep as City beat juice's United at Old | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
Trafford, Liverpool but four passed the champions at their new stand, | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Watford come from behind to beat West Ham and Arsenal leave it late | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
to beat Southampton. The back pages, not surprisingly, focus on the | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
Manchester derby, the Sun says that the united star is bottled it, | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
Andy's paper, the Sunday Mirror, claims that Mourinho raged at the | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
referee after the defeat and that Zlatan is in line for a new contract | :01:49. | :02:00. | |
already. The male on Sunday also concentrates on Mourinho's theory. | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
We'll talk about the Derby in a second, first let's hear from both | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
managers starting with Pep Guardiola. The game was open until | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
the end. The first half we were better, the second half, they pushed | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
a lot, it was so difficult, they opened the game and when you open | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
the game you had many acts of four against three and five against four, | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
we did not finish absolutely, we were not brilliant in that moment, | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
for the last part, but for us, to go to Old Trafford, one of the best | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
stadiums in the world, and to win the game, it's good. To play these | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
matches you have to be completely ready to do it. In terms of the | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
speed of your thinking and decision making. We have had a few players | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
who are not at that level. We lost easy balls. We let them press us and | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
recover the ball is easy circumstances for us, we paid for | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
the mistakes. First, it's great to see a good Manchester derby after | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
what seemed to be a sabbatical. You were there, Andy, in your paper, pep | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
announcing his arrival in the Premier League with a twin. | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
Obviously not his first game here, yet it felt so significant, like he | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
was saying, that's what I'm all about, as if we did not know | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
already, even in a big game in an intimidating venue like Old Trafford | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
with a huge derby match and loads of hype, it's doesn't matter, this is | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
the way I'm going to play, my keeper will be halfway up the pitch and | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
will spread the ball around, mice and a half will take risks and if he | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
makes mistakes, so be it, we will get the ball and we will play. Every | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
single player encouraged to get on the ball and play. It is idealistic. | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
And great to see it, something we haven't seen in the Premier League. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
If we had any doubt this is what we're going to get from Guardian, | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
this commitment to play in a certain way, if it goes wrong and it almost | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
did yesterday, they deserved to win, they were a shade fortunate but if | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
it goes wrong he will carry on playing that. He won't sacrifices | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
principles. It'll be a fascinating narrative to watch play out. He said | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
just three points afterwards, it was more than that, it was the | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
statement, the manner in which they made the statement, they dominated | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
their biggest rival. Did you see the game at all? I got to see some on | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
the coach, you got to see City keeping the ball. It was so strange | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
to see, however well they played, the way this Court, a big boom up | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
the pitch, simple flick on and he goes on and finishes it. A good | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
player although United will be disappointed with the way they | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
conceded. It was Route one yet the keeper started it by giving the | :05:02. | :05:13. | |
short pass to Kolorov. It was a short pass, although it was under | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
pressure, a short pass and the big ball up. And Kevin De Bruyne is so | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
shop getting up there. Nearly would one! All the talk before the match | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
was about City and their talisman, Sergio Aguero, this disadvantage | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
they had in the battle of height with United having taller players. I | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
think John Stones was their tallest player but that didn't come to | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
fruition. It didn't because Manchester United were played off | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
the park. Mourinho got his selection wrong, Rashford should have started. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
He made an impact when he came on in the second half. The turning point | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
which got Manchester United back in the game was the error from Claudio | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
Bravo. If they had gone 2-0 down, who knows what the full-time school | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
would have been. Interesting that size issue. Guardiola said | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
afterwards, I said to my defenders, David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, you | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
will need a chair to defend against this, they were getting so many high | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
balls towards Marouane Fellaini, it was a bit of a sly dig at juice. | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
Great spirit yesterday yet perhaps a sly dig. -- a sly dig at Jose | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
Mourinho. Interesting that you mention Marcus Rashford, given what | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
he did with the England U21s in midweek did you want to seems Dodd? | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
I honestly thought he would. When he came on, he and Mkhitaryan wanted to | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
change the game against us, of positive and running for winners, | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
having scored the winner against us, to go off and play U21 's, and Scott | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
hat-trick, that's confidence. I thought he'd come into the game | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
because he has shown that he isn't scared of big games. Jose protests | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
that he does believe in you. I'm not entirely sure that he does. You | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
always have reservations about starting the young players in games | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
like that. Even after the game that Curtis mentions, I was at the | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
Manchester United game and made that impact, scoring the winner, and in | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
the press Conference afterwards he was pressed if Rashford would play | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
the next game especially considering what he did in the Derby and was | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
told, he's done OK coming off the bench, let's leave it at that, but | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
that must've been a mistake. When someone is in form surely you must | :07:41. | :07:49. | |
play him? His tail is up... It is still a hat-trick. Still hat-trick, | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
still competitive football. You could see the impact he made when he | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
came on because Mourinho got it wrong, Lingard and Mick Tyree and | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
were not at the races. Do you think Jose Mourinho accounts hat-trick for | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
the U21s as valuable currency? I bet he doesn't. Surely he values a | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
player with high confidence? He'd seen the last league game back home | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
and had seen a good performance from his team before Rashford came on. He | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
played well before that and Rashford made a difference when he came on so | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Mourinho must have thought, we have played well without him, that was | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
his first taste of league action, do I really need a measure to throw him | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
in? I think it did backfire and the selection of Lingard was | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
questionable. Mkhitaryan you could argue made a good impact in his | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
previous league game. Will they still leave him out now? Mkhitaryan, | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
or Rashford? Rashford. I think they probably will. For a game of that | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
size I still think he sees him as a player who could come on against | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
players who are getting tired, last 20 minutes and make a big impact. | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
Did we see Mourinho tactically outdone by Guardiola? You could say | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
that. Sometimes you have to take your hat off. Manchester City were | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
absolutely superb. We talked about how Lingard wasn't at the races, | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
Mkhitaryan... And they were picked off. And this is early days from | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
Guardian. He's just come in. It wasn't just about the three points, | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
it was the manner of their performance, so impressive. What was | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
interesting was the pre-match interview with Mourinho when he | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
talked about making these changes and bringing in Lingard and | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
Mkhitaryan. It made you think that he was focusing more on the | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
opposition than on the strength of his side and I thought that little | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
change, that new ones, told a lot. I think that's always been his trick. | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
But as the manager of a home side in the Derby you would expect him to | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
take the initiative? Possibly. That has not always been the case in the | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
past. You've often seen Mourinho win games without having the majority of | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
possession. I think he knew that would happen yesterday that his team | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
would not have the majority of possession and he picked his team | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
accordingly. He isn't a negative coach as such but his priority is to | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
negate the dangers in front of him first and then win the game | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
afterwards. That is what he's always come across as and very | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
successfully. He was clearly disappointed. He said his players | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
were not at the races, he is demanding more. I think it's early | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
days, a different team, his signings in the main have been exceptional, | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
it is just that sometimes you lose to your biggest rivals. He could not | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
have accounted for how off the pace Mkhitaryan was. I was surprised that | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
some players played when they were injured on international duty. They | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
were just hunted down every time. It wasn't just Mkhitaryan and Lingard | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
caught in possession is a many times, it was Wayne Rooney as well. | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
Not the first time that he's been critical of his players but if you | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
were on the receiving end, how would that have gone down in the dressing | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
room? I think you need to accept it, this is the man who picks the team, | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
who put you in a big, big game and if you let him know he will let you | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
know about it. You would rather that than him saying publicly, the big, | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
my players have done this, done that for me, you would rather know so | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
that you can go and work on it and hopefully be back in his plan. | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
Nothing worse than upsetting the manager! Do you think much thought | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
was given from Mourinho to what he was going to say before he said it, | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
knowing that some players would accept it and others not? From what | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
I saw of the interview he never named anybody, he said, my players | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
know which ones let me down so I'm guessing he told them in the | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
changing room and then he's gone on TV and said it. You will know if you | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
put in a shift or not. What is also interesting is, it is what state she | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
is at in how long he's been at the club and what the club are doing. -- | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
what stage he's in at the club. Chelsea, first season, won the | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
title, second season, won title, in the third season which did not last, | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
when he starts criticising the players they will think, hang on a | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
minute, we have done this, we've done that. And now they feel in a | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
stronger position about that. No one at the moment would bridle against | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
him because they feature is in his hands. At that stage, it at Chelsea, | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
it was not. Players are honest, you have to man up a bit, if you have a | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
bad game you have a bad one. It doesn't always work like that, | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
Chris. I think it does. Most of the players I played with more honest, | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
if you have a bad game, you expected. If you take the glory and | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
the pats on the back, if you are poor you have to get around that as | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
well. Sometimes players use it as a smoke screen, you can come to an | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
interview and say, we did not do this, we didn't do that. The | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
elephant in the room is to say, I wasn't good. I remember you're | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
talking about your debut. Wasn't that the Birmingham? Aston Villa. | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
Guardiola is a different type, he just gets rid of your! Blur he | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
claims that Bravo had a fantastic game! Will talk about Claudio Bravo | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
in a minute. Big stage, big game, big players, Paul Paul Pogba, Zlatan | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
Ibrahimovic to both relatively quiet. As it was, Zlatan scored his | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
fifth of the season, it gives an insight, you had the privilege or | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
maybe not the right word to use, of marking a man of his calibre already | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
this season! I think, the way he plays he will never make a massive | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
impact on the game if he doesn't score. And he did score, which was | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
his job. He's a player that leads the line, stays up there, he will | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
only drop off and not get involved when they haven't got the ball, when | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
he gets it in the boxing needs to score because there are so many good | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
players around him, they should feed him and therefore he shouldn't have | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
to do much outside the box. A great finish from Zlatan considering that | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
it emanated from a spill from Claudio Bravo. Heaney 's spirit and | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
the pace off him, he won't run from behind and run channels -- he has | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
spirit and he needs pace. It's hard to get the ball from him but you | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
need people going beyond him. It was an Erik Compton finish. I can't | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
remember who it was against but almost a carbon copy. This ties in | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
with what Chris said, he was a bit static yesterday. Not a great deal | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
of movement. When you are on top, and you have Zlatan Ibrahimovic, | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
Pogba, Fellaini, City of smaller players who were more agile and | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
quick to the ball and to possession. They played all around them. We | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
mentioned the goal by Zlatan, making his debut for Manchester City, | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
Claudio Bravo, we saw both sides of his game yesterday and this is what | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
his manager said. . In the last minutes after we | :15:42. | :16:40. | |
played well in the first half, the second half... That is a real good | :16:41. | :16:48. | |
thing about his personality and one of the reasons why we played well in | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
the first half was because he read really well the build-up. His | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
reaction to the performance and his comments are almost polar opposite | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
to what Mourinho did in his post-match comments. If city had a | :16:57. | :17:06. | |
free kick, they were almost five yards from the away line. View was | :17:07. | :17:17. | |
that far advanced. A lot of people during the game were saying Joe Hart | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
was thinking, it should be made. If Joe Hart was watching that, it was | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
confirmation that he can never played again. He can't, because he | :17:29. | :17:37. | |
cannot play that role. But it wasn't unlucky, it was rubbish goalkeeping. | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
He dropped it, he let Manchester United back in the game and he | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
should have been sent off. We talk about City's performance but he was | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
desperately poor. It is OK having a goalkeeper who can play but you also | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
need a goalkeeper who can catch the ball. I think pep had to say what he | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
did because such a big deal has been made of this. You got rid of | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
England's number one, who has been is city's number one for the last | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
seven years or whatever it is, so if he didn't back this keeper that he's | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
paid a lot of money for an made such a big deal out of, obviously... It | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
is a lot of money for a keeper who was 33, 17 million. We know he's | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
going to bring a lot of entertainment because that's the way | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
he's always kept goal. But Guardiola's argument is that if he | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
does make the odd mistake, what he brings in terms of starting attacks, | :18:34. | :18:43. | |
the sweeper keeper and actually being almost a quarterback figure, | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
directing movements from their, he says that's worth more than... That | :18:49. | :18:57. | |
compensates for that mistake. If he keeps dropping crosses are making | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
errors, will he keep him in? Piquant. If he drops crosses every | :19:01. | :19:11. | |
week and make Sarah... Even if he drops a cross, the chances are that | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
City are still going to win that game. You can't have a liability. | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
I'm not saying he is but there comes a time, if he keeps making mistakes, | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
and he must've thought Joe Hart wasn't good enough for a reason. Joe | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
Hart has made mistakes in the last season or so but he's got him in for | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
a reason and he can't back him if he keeps making mistakes. I think he | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
thinks he will gain you more points than he would lose because you | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
shouldn't have to do too much defending or goalkeeping such as a | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
city keeper. They're going to be times when he is going to be to show | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
how good he is but more often they will have 60 present possession. If | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
he can make those few passes that get you on an attack, he will maybe | :20:00. | :20:07. | |
gain more points than he loses. How do centre halves like that sort of | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
keeper? Are you talking about keepers who drop crosses? The way he | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
plays, if this is the way your team plays, as soon as you get the ball, | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
the centre halves will go that way, the centre midfielders, so we should | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
have four or five options on the ball but when you are talking about | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
the Rooney incident, which we will come onto, that is when sometimes | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
the need to be a situation where you say, just get it up the field, | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
because he's got one player closing it down, Ian is chasing his touch | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
and makes a tackle with it. It is under debate whether it is a penalty | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
or not. On the Rooney incident, should he have been sent off? I set | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
myself, I'm a centre-half and if I took that bad touch into centre | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
midfield and leapt like that into a tackle, I think it is a red card for | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
me so I don't see why it would be different for a goalkeeper. What | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
other players told to do in terms of tackling? It is seen as a reckless | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
movement. He doesn't go too footed into the challenge, he gets inside | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
foot and wins the ball, so for me as a centre-half it is a good tackle as | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
such but what the rules say is that that seems a reckless tackle, you're | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
not in control because both feet of the ground. We all know what he was | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
thinking. He thought, oh, no, and went lunging but it was a penalty | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
and a red card. Let's wrap this all because we've already mentioned | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
briefly about your debut. It wasn't the best, neither was it for Henrikh | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
Mkhitaryan but explain what happened at Villa. I have been waiting to get | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
my chance to play and have been there about two months and we played | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
against Leicester in the cup so I didn't have a good game. We lost the | :21:58. | :22:06. | |
game 2-1 and I went on and said it as it was. I call that the pub | :22:07. | :22:17. | |
player. That stuck with me. Talking about Leicester and the reigning | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
defending champions getting stuck at Anfield to Liverpool. It really sent | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
out a message of intent to. These are the thoughts of Claudio Ranieri. | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
Today the pool played so, so well and everything they tried to do was | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
OK. They were very, very spirited and everything was fantastic. Not so | :22:43. | :22:51. | |
good for us. We agreed our chance. Have you learned lessons today? You | :22:52. | :23:05. | |
have to understand that football should be together and suffered | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
together. It has to be more strong. It was almost the perfect afternoon | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
for Liverpool. They witnessed the demolishing of the champions in | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
Leicester and it could have been by a lot more. I am a big fan of Jurgen | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
Klopp, a big fan of his style of play. There is risk in it but they | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
are scintillating going forward. I think they will finish in the top | :23:34. | :23:42. | |
four. Curtis Davies, whole cities central defender, they do but like | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
the most entertaining of the teams but there was almost that sense of | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
unpredictability. I think it showed from their first three games. Win | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
one, draw one, lose one. They had 80 present possession against Burnley | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
and lost 2-0 so it just shows that the way they play is obviously quite | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
entertaining and they're likely to get goals from it if they play | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
against a team that is willing to open up but if they play against a | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
team that is just going to sit there and try and stifle them, it's a bit | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
more difficult. Defensively, they still look a little uncertain. I | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
wouldn't be surprised if he is able to feel the same. He's struggling. | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
He is looking a little bit vulnerable, as was shown by the goal | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
yesterday but I agree with what has been said. Going forward, he has a | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
whole wodge of combinations and it is a question of picking the right | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
one. We saw a different one yesterday and Manny looked | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
absolutely dynamic. It is keeping those players happy and finding the | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
right one and you're right, the consistency. We saw it last season. | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
Eight loss to someone like Watford... That's what we've got to | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
try and eradicate this season. In the Burnley game, they didn't have | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
that option where Burnley were just sitting in and narrowed up. They | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
were saying, through the balls in and we'll deal with that so that's | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
going to be their problem but they're brilliant to watch. They | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
deserved to beat Tottenham. They probably just edged that game. I was | :25:31. | :25:39. | |
at Old Trafford, rather than Anfield yesterday, but from what I | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
understand it was a great atmosphere and we see how Jurgen Klopp | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
generates the atmosphere and milks the atmosphere. It is a great | :25:47. | :25:55. | |
atmosphere background and that can only help them. It is so competitive | :25:56. | :26:04. | |
at the top end this season but I can see them at fourth place. We see so | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
many great attacking players for Liverpool. Daniel Sturridge played | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
particularly well. Adam Lallana, great for him to get amongst the | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
goals because if anything, we know what he can bring to the table, a | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
tireless player, technically very gifted. The only one thing lacking | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
in the locker is the goals. I would agree with that. He's such an | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
intelligent footballer and a tremendous striker. Liverpool didn't | :26:32. | :26:39. | |
bring him in for his goals tally, they brought him into bee that link | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
and that person who that awareness but he will want to score more | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
goals. What is interesting is when Jurgen Klopp first came and Lallana | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
came off after 80 minutes and he looked like he literally fell into | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
Jurgen Klopp's arms, it looked like he had run a marathon. Furlana was | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
so intense and intent on fulfilling this idea of having to press and run | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
for the entire game, what he's also good at, that link play, and he is a | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
decent finish on his day. That almost got put to the site and only | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
now he's confident he is part of clop's plans, we may see him express | :27:21. | :27:28. | |
himself a bit more. How hard is it to defend against a tame like | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
Liverpool -- team? It is difficult but a team like us would set up more | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
solid, like we did against Manchester United because that is | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
how we are good. It would be difficult because when players are | :27:46. | :27:51. | |
moving all over, it is tough but ultimately, it is never easy in the | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
Premier League against any team but I think with Manet this year | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
particularly, he is going to be the one that has stepped it up a notch. | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
If you can keep storage fit, he is the best English striker for me. He | :28:07. | :28:09. | |
has got something different to the rest it up he can open up again but | :28:10. | :28:17. | |
they are going to be very difficult to play against. For Leicester, it | :28:18. | :28:23. | |
is two defeats from their four games. What has happened to them | :28:24. | :28:29. | |
defensively? Is it more than just N'Golo Kante leaving? I think that | :28:30. | :28:35. | |
played a big part but what did we really expect? I don't think any of | :28:36. | :28:40. | |
us, in our heart of hearts, really thought Leicester could do what they | :28:41. | :28:43. | |
did last season this season and are they suffering a bit of a hangover? | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
Yes, they are. I think they will be top half and that will be a | :28:48. | :28:53. | |
successful season. They were just outplayed. I wouldn't say they | :28:54. | :28:55. | |
showed naivete but they were far too open. I agree when Chris says a | :28:56. | :29:04. | |
hangover. We put so much emphasis on the psychological aspect sometimes | :29:05. | :29:06. | |
but I think dealing with being the champions has probably been not a | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
shock but they've had to get used to it. I've said this before, I don't | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
think they are the best pre-season. They went away to Thailand to | :29:17. | :29:22. | |
celebrate. It was a big programme abroad. They then played PSG and | :29:23. | :29:26. | |
Barcelona pre-season, where last year they played Manchester City and | :29:27. | :29:33. | |
one these games at home. They may be made a few of the players think this | :29:34. | :29:39. | |
was the field in which the art expected to operate it they are only | :29:40. | :29:42. | |
minor things but I think mentally coming to terms with the fact that | :29:43. | :29:48. | |
you are champions when you clearly are expected to be takes its toll. I | :29:49. | :29:53. | |
wonder how much of a bird in the Champions League will be. They've | :29:54. | :29:58. | |
got a group, we all think they could go through with that but that may | :29:59. | :30:06. | |
bring its own difficulties. They've had to add players but it is how | :30:07. | :30:13. | |
they fit into the way that Leicester has always played. If they sign a | :30:14. | :30:17. | |
player that doesn't quite fit into the way they've played all along, | :30:18. | :30:22. | |
ultimately it is a mini failure as such because you want to have the | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
same way you've played to win a championship and the same ethos on | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
the plate again success and I think they've try change the way they go. | :30:31. | :30:35. | |
Considering the sticky start Leicester have had, with their next | :30:36. | :30:41. | |
picture, it is that the kind of thing you would welcome, despite | :30:42. | :30:44. | |
what has happened? I think with the group they've got they will welcome | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
mat and they will see it as a massive lift if they can do well | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
because they've not started in the way they would have liked to but I'm | :30:54. | :30:59. | |
sure they will be up in the top half and pushing but it is tough for any | :31:00. | :31:04. | |
team to retain the title, sofa Leicester it is going to be even | :31:05. | :31:10. | |
more difficult if they can have a good run in the Champions League and | :31:11. | :31:12. | |
show the confidence I'd will help them. | :31:13. | :31:18. | |
Leicester play their Champions League game away to club bridge on | :31:19. | :31:25. | |
Wednesday night. In case you are just joining us on MOTD Extra we | :31:26. | :31:29. | |
have Chris Sutton, Curtis Davies and Andy Dunn of the Daily Mirror. Let's | :31:30. | :31:36. | |
focus on your club, last time out, two weeks ago you considered in the | :31:37. | :31:41. | |
94th minute against Manchester United. You did it this time as a | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
team to salvage a great point away to Burnley yesterday. 30 time was in | :31:47. | :31:53. | |
our favour this time! Make you feel that is what is called now. The | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
United game is disappointing when you | :31:58. | :32:17. | |
stick it out so long against a team like that who are knocking on the | :32:18. | :32:22. | |
door, to concede in the 93rd minute was horrible. This week it went in | :32:23. | :32:25. | |
our favour, we kept going to the end and it took a moment of magic from | :32:26. | :32:28. | |
Robert Snodgrass to get us to it. I think we deserved it, on the balance | :32:29. | :32:31. | |
of play and the chances we had we deserved at least a draw but Burnley | :32:32. | :32:34. | |
has been our bogey ground at Turf Moor so one point is a good point. | :32:35. | :32:37. | |
Robert Snodgrass has had a good start to the season. A player I rate | :32:38. | :32:39. | |
highly. I played against him many moons ago! He's always been an | :32:40. | :32:42. | |
intelligent player. I think if he had another half a yard he be | :32:43. | :32:45. | |
playing for one of the big boys. A brilliant hat-trick for Scotland in | :32:46. | :32:50. | |
midweek. A really intelligent player and a stunning free kick. You look | :32:51. | :32:54. | |
at what he's done, clearly coming back from that injury, you must be | :32:55. | :33:01. | |
delighted with the way his comeback. We had a joke with him. We said | :33:02. | :33:05. | |
great kick and he said I was a good player before I got injured! We know | :33:06. | :33:09. | |
how good he is and we were disappointed to lose him for that | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
time, but it does seem that now he's at the top level and fully fit he is | :33:14. | :33:17. | |
getting to grips with it again and showing how good he is. Hat-trick | :33:18. | :33:23. | |
for Scotland in midweek, all respect to Malta but hat-trick at any level | :33:24. | :33:27. | |
is good and it's good to see him striving for more. There's been a | :33:28. | :33:32. | |
resilience about Hull this season, which is why Mickey Phelan will win | :33:33. | :33:38. | |
Manager of the Month award. We know what the situation was going into | :33:39. | :33:42. | |
the season. When you go there you feel this resilience. I was there | :33:43. | :33:46. | |
when United scored, in the dying seconds of the game, that Hull's | :33:47. | :33:53. | |
resilience was fantastic because Manchester United played very well | :33:54. | :33:57. | |
that day. They change things around, they tried everything. They only got | :33:58. | :34:01. | |
that goal late because defensively Hull were magnificent. The man on my | :34:02. | :34:08. | |
right, a brilliant start to the season from Curtis and from the | :34:09. | :34:15. | |
whole defence. I dug up this statistic today, the most | :34:16. | :34:24. | |
competitive team were Hull City, eclipsing the likes of United and | :34:25. | :34:32. | |
City. You don't believe me? I can see from the look on your face! | :34:33. | :34:37. | |
Wattage is, I suppose is the type of football might Phelan has | :34:38. | :34:39. | |
implemented in his time there -- what it shows. We won't be silly and | :34:40. | :34:46. | |
play from the back every time but we want to keep the ball because | :34:47. | :34:50. | |
ultimately you give it to the other team, you would have a chance of | :34:51. | :34:54. | |
scoring. And he wants us to win every game. He wanted us to win the | :34:55. | :35:01. | |
United game. A big ask but he tries to put positive energy into us. | :35:02. | :35:06. | |
Don't settle for a draw. Let's go for it and try to win and if we come | :35:07. | :35:11. | |
up with one point that is good. That has helped us this season. How many | :35:12. | :35:19. | |
1-2s did you play with the QB yesterday? Just to get the stats up! | :35:20. | :35:27. | |
Talking about might Phelan, who as Andy says is the August Manager of | :35:28. | :35:30. | |
the Month which is terrific considering what he inherited in the | :35:31. | :35:34. | |
summer, still no news of any long-term appointment with him and | :35:35. | :35:40. | |
that has been going on since July. I expected it to go on past the | :35:41. | :35:43. | |
transfer window and see if we got the players in that maybe Mick | :35:44. | :35:47. | |
wanted. We've got them in. And I was hoping that would be done. It's | :35:48. | :35:54. | |
between the club and his representatives, whatever. I hope it | :35:55. | :35:57. | |
all gets done because he has been a breath of fresh air and as players | :35:58. | :36:01. | |
we all want him to stay and sign because his record hasn't been too | :36:02. | :36:06. | |
bad so far and we want to keep him. Is there a fear among the players | :36:07. | :36:10. | |
that, should that be a managerial change further down the line with | :36:11. | :36:14. | |
one Premier League club, they might come looking for his services? The | :36:15. | :36:20. | |
longer he hasn't got a contract, yes! Because ultimately he's done | :36:21. | :36:24. | |
well so far and I am sure people would want his services but for us, | :36:25. | :36:29. | |
as Hull players we would be more worried if somebody came in and took | :36:30. | :36:34. | |
our job. Don't get me wrong, there are good managers and their but the | :36:35. | :36:39. | |
way we play, the squad, Mick is used to our players, so if someone else | :36:40. | :36:44. | |
came in and had to get used to us from now until the end of the season | :36:45. | :36:46. | |
it might be more difficult. | :36:47. | :37:03. | |
Embarrassing. What more does he need to do to get the job! Nothing. | :37:04. | :37:06. | |
Manager of the Month, next month? Isn't it Arsenal next Saturday? | :37:07. | :37:08. | |
Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea. Seven points out of 12, a fantastic return | :37:09. | :37:12. | |
considering what people predicted in the summer, how are you enjoying | :37:13. | :37:16. | |
your football? Really enjoying it, after the gloom of the summer we | :37:17. | :37:22. | |
were all worried, and injuries to our players that we've already got, | :37:23. | :37:25. | |
it's proved difficult. The main thing is that we stuck together as a | :37:26. | :37:30. | |
group, we knew that if we could field and 11 we've had have a chance | :37:31. | :37:33. | |
of those forced few games and we've done that. Now that we've made this | :37:34. | :37:39. | |
start and got this call and there is a bit more needed from us because | :37:40. | :37:44. | |
people will be looking at us as a team that should win a few games | :37:45. | :37:48. | |
rather than going to places and expecting to be beaten. Long may it | :37:49. | :37:54. | |
continue! There was a remarkable game in east London, at the London | :37:55. | :37:59. | |
Stadium, West Ham, from leading 2-0, contrived to lose the match to | :38:00. | :38:05. | |
Watford, 4-2. The thoughts of Watford captain Troy Deeney, one of | :38:06. | :38:09. | |
the scorers. We just felt confident going into the second half, I don't | :38:10. | :38:14. | |
know if it was the two late goals in the first half that put us back | :38:15. | :38:18. | |
level, we could see they were enjoying themselves before that. We | :38:19. | :38:21. | |
dug in and got back in the game and we have the mentality that we would | :38:22. | :38:26. | |
win. A bit of a siege mentality but we need to be more ruthless scoring | :38:27. | :38:30. | |
more goals. On another day we could have got five or six. What an | :38:31. | :38:34. | |
incredible game, Watford perspective. It was unbelievable. | :38:35. | :38:41. | |
West Ham were in reasonable control at 2-0 but Watford deserved to win | :38:42. | :38:45. | |
the game. Troy 's got a brilliant goal. The really poor defensive | :38:46. | :38:53. | |
error, but he had so much to do and... Going into half-time at 2-2, | :38:54. | :38:59. | |
I don't know what Slaven Bilic said at half-time to them but Watford | :39:00. | :39:04. | |
came back out of the traps and it could have been more than four. The | :39:05. | :39:11. | |
telling thing that, Troy Deeney says, they were really enjoying | :39:12. | :39:16. | |
themselves, West Ham. I don't think he meant it as a compliment. He | :39:17. | :39:22. | |
looked as if they believed that they were coasting, there was a certain | :39:23. | :39:25. | |
arrogance about them when they were leading by two goals. Sort of old | :39:26. | :39:31. | |
school against professional players, if you think somebody looking a bit | :39:32. | :39:37. | |
cocky, you react. Some stronger quotes given by Troy in his | :39:38. | :39:41. | |
post-match comments. He said there was a point in the game when they | :39:42. | :39:47. | |
were doing fancy dans and he said he thought they were trying to make | :39:48. | :39:52. | |
them off a bit. I don't think he was referring to the move from dementia | :39:53. | :39:57. | |
Payet, sent up on a plate, but Curtis can you relate to what Troy | :39:58. | :40:03. | |
said? Yes, if it's early in the first half and people are taking the | :40:04. | :40:07. | |
Mickey you get frustrated but sometimes that works against you | :40:08. | :40:09. | |
because you start kicking everyone and giving away free kicks and they | :40:10. | :40:15. | |
get what they want. I'm guessing that, what Watford did, was get in | :40:16. | :40:20. | |
their faces a bit more, more energy and stuff like that, and I think the | :40:21. | :40:24. | |
key to it is getting the goal. Get a goal back and suddenly those flicks | :40:25. | :40:30. | |
don't happen. Try also said, this was interesting that, as a player, | :40:31. | :40:35. | |
he said, we made sure we put our hand on them. I had not heard that | :40:36. | :40:41. | |
phrase before. You basically laid your glove on them to stop them the | :40:42. | :40:45. | |
next time they want to do that flick, maybe they get a little | :40:46. | :40:52. | |
around their ankles! The fact that they got two goals before half-time | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
and the momentum then shifted, that's the biggest thing regardless | :40:57. | :41:00. | |
of them flicking and doing everything, there was only one team | :41:01. | :41:04. | |
that came back in the second-half confidently. That brings up an | :41:05. | :41:09. | |
argument, is there a fine line between a team wanting to entertain | :41:10. | :41:13. | |
the crowd and not taking the Mick out of the opposition? Are you | :41:14. | :41:18. | |
talking about West Ham? Any team, really. I liked what Troy Deeney. He | :41:19. | :41:26. | |
galvanised Watford yesterday, I like him as a character, they did get | :41:27. | :41:29. | |
more aggressive and they took the game from West Ham. West Ham | :41:30. | :41:34. | |
capitulated. There is a balance, though, if you are too- zero ahead | :41:35. | :41:40. | |
in a match, it's all about the next goal. And Watford got one goal back | :41:41. | :41:46. | |
and then they want from strength to strength. Having said that, if West | :41:47. | :41:50. | |
Ham had got three... But they didn't. Watford deserved to win. Is | :41:51. | :41:58. | |
there an unwritten rule on showboating amongst professionals? | :41:59. | :42:03. | |
Absolutely. Totally. You don't like people taking the Mickey. Having | :42:04. | :42:10. | |
said that, what do to Payet did, was it showboating, yes, was brilliant? | :42:11. | :42:16. | |
Yes. But you are professional players. Of course you try to get | :42:17. | :42:20. | |
even. It's just that you have to do it within the rules. Just moving on | :42:21. | :42:25. | |
to West Ham, three defeats in four in the Premier League and damaging | :42:26. | :42:29. | |
defeat in Europe. Any pressure on Slaven Bilic at this point? Not at | :42:30. | :42:35. | |
this point but they will be. They were not in great form towards the | :42:36. | :42:41. | |
end of season. They had just won four of their 13 Premier League | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
games, moving to a new stadium, lots of expectation, that will bring | :42:47. | :42:49. | |
problems on and off the pitch. Teething issues. When you move into | :42:50. | :42:54. | |
that sort of stadium with that sort of expectation, if you keep losing | :42:55. | :43:00. | |
you will be under pressure. And they have lost their record signing and | :43:01. | :43:03. | |
Andy Carroll isn't available so they don't have that second route with | :43:04. | :43:08. | |
Andy Carroll and I am sure a player like their new signing would have | :43:09. | :43:12. | |
helped them yesterday. They've got to get Adrian rid of him. Get | :43:13. | :43:21. | |
Bhavane goal! He was poor yesterday! Swansea versus Chelsea, intriguing | :43:22. | :43:26. | |
for David Luiz, should he start? I don't think he will. I imagine they | :43:27. | :43:31. | |
will stay with the same team because they've done so well lately. I'm not | :43:32. | :43:36. | |
sure it will change their formation if he does. Am sure it would. Going | :43:37. | :43:43. | |
forward, Antonio Conte probably believes he can change him into a | :43:44. | :43:46. | |
centre-back, they want change the team today and he looks a perfect | :43:47. | :43:51. | |
fit, Antonio Conte. We have to leave it there, thank you, all of you, for | :43:52. | :43:55. | |
your company, remember Chelsea versus Swansea at the Liberty | :43:56. | :44:02. | |
Stadium is on later, from all of us, goodbye | :44:03. | :44:03. |
