Exeter City v Liverpool

:00:46. > :00:52.Exeter City, been an interesting 112 years to say the least, Devon,

:00:53. > :01:02.Brazil, Greece, wonky spoons. It's been a thriller. We're known as the

:01:03. > :01:05.Grecians. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts, Liverpool. Have you ever

:01:06. > :01:12.played Brazil? We have. We were the first team ever to play Brazil,

:01:13. > :01:15.which is why they play like us. Seriously, we toured Brazil in 1914

:01:16. > :01:19.helping to establish football out there. They put together their first

:01:20. > :01:24.ever national side just to play us. You can thank us later. Famous

:01:25. > :01:30.people have visited this Venerable stadium too. Uri and his mate Mike

:01:31. > :01:34.dropped by in 200#2, quick cup of tea and a pasty. League wise it's

:01:35. > :01:40.been up and down for the last couple of decades. A bit bent spoonish. But

:01:41. > :01:43.we own our football club. During the wilderness years the Supporter's

:01:44. > :01:47.Trust took over the running of the club, kept it going. Still in charge

:01:48. > :01:53.today, proving that red is much better than dead. It's certainly

:01:54. > :01:59.much better than green. The FA Cup back then as well, handing us the

:02:00. > :02:04.Red Devils 2005, 0-0 at Old Trafford. United scraped through on

:02:05. > :02:10.the replay, 2-0. The revenue helped keep the club going. A very big bank

:02:11. > :02:15.indeed. I haven't even had time to tell you about dido the lucky

:02:16. > :02:19.seagull or the best dressed gaffer in the Football League. I will save

:02:20. > :02:26.that for nest time. Right now it's Liverpool's turn to add their bit to

:02:27. > :02:29.our wonderful history. We certainly have all the

:02:30. > :02:33.ingredients for a classic night of cup football. Exeter City have

:02:34. > :02:39.reached the third round of the Emirates FA Cup for the first time

:02:40. > :02:43.in 11 seasons. The Grecians face an injury-hit Liverpool side, still

:02:44. > :02:46.finding their feet under the charismatic Jurgen Klopp, who's all

:02:47. > :02:51.set for his first taste of the competition. Good evening.

:02:52. > :02:55.Unfamiliar surroundings then for Jurgen Klopp and he's named quite a

:02:56. > :03:00.few unfamiliar faces. It's Liverpool's fifth match in 14, could

:03:01. > :03:05.an upset be on the cards? To enjoy it with us are Ian Wright and we

:03:06. > :03:09.couldn't come here without Alan Shearer, could we? The FA Cup is a

:03:10. > :03:17.huge opportunity for Exeter City, the small club. We've seen it many

:03:18. > :03:19.times br. This club was saved many years ago when they played

:03:20. > :03:26.Manchester United. Five fulltime staff. Their most expensive player

:03:27. > :03:30.ever ?60,000. Their goalkeeper is the press officer. They're live on

:03:31. > :03:33.the BBC against one of the world's greatest football clubs, accidents

:03:34. > :03:39.get any better than that for a player for Exeter, does it? When

:03:40. > :03:44.they see the Liverpool team, there'll be a bit disappointed, but

:03:45. > :03:47.-- bit of disappointed, but when reality sets in, they will think, we

:03:48. > :03:51.have one hell of a chance tonight. They have. When you see the team

:03:52. > :03:55.later, inexperience in the Liverpool side, I think that when you consider

:03:56. > :03:59.what it done for them, the amount of money they made from the FA Cup with

:04:00. > :04:04.the Man United game, they've got another opportunity to get through

:04:05. > :04:08.this round because, I think the Liverpool side, unless they really

:04:09. > :04:11.show up and prove people wrong in respect of the players they've

:04:12. > :04:15.picked, I can see a really tough night for Liverpool tonight. We have

:04:16. > :04:20.all played in games like this in the FA Cup, coming to a small club. It's

:04:21. > :04:25.not easy. At Arsenal, we played Yeovil. Everybody is nervous. I

:04:26. > :04:27.scored a hat-trick! LAUGHTER

:04:28. > :04:30.Calmed everybody down, went on to win the cup. But you are frightened

:04:31. > :04:35.because they have nothing to lose and it could be a great night for

:04:36. > :04:39.them. Not a game to lose, is it? Not for Liverpool. The pressure is right

:04:40. > :04:49.on them. Discipline deed. Let's check on the teams then. Dan walker

:04:50. > :05:06.is at pitchside. Let's start with Exeter:

:05:07. > :05:12.Lee Holmes, you might remember once the ever youngest to play in the FA

:05:13. > :05:16.Cup, aged just 15 years old at Derby.

:05:17. > :05:20.Up front, Tom Nichols, their top scorers this season with nine. For

:05:21. > :05:25.Liverpool, only a few familiar faces in their team line-up.

:05:26. > :05:29.The back four, Jose Enrique, almost a year since he last played for

:05:30. > :05:47.Liverpool. Two debutantes in Stewart and Kent.

:05:48. > :05:51.And up front, Christian Benteke is one of only two players in the

:05:52. > :05:56.starting 11 - he's not playing by the way - who's played more than

:05:57. > :06:04.four times for Liverpool. It looks like Jurgen Klopp is a fan of the

:06:05. > :06:09.young ones. Might be scraping the bottom of the barrel with that one.

:06:10. > :06:15.A real lack of experience there. It's a gamble from their manager.

:06:16. > :06:19.Understandable gamble when you look at all the injuries that they've

:06:20. > :06:24.got. Also with the number of games they've got. Also Premier League

:06:25. > :06:29.fixture next week. He's given a chance to the younger ones tonight.

:06:30. > :06:34.He's given a chance to Benteke. How does he feel in that team with all

:06:35. > :06:41.those youngsters? Captain as well. He has a Palacive point to prove --

:06:42. > :06:45.massive point to prove tonight. Yeah, so it's almost like a

:06:46. > :06:49.punishment! He wants to see what his attitude is like tonight. What do

:06:50. > :06:54.you make to Klopp's stance here, throwing in the youngsters -

:06:55. > :06:57.disrespectful to the competition? No, Al's mentioned the games coming

:06:58. > :07:02.up and the injuries they have. When you boil it down, the players have

:07:03. > :07:05.an opportunity in respect of the FA Cup doing something to get them

:07:06. > :07:08.through this round so they can get the boys back, the main boys, get

:07:09. > :07:12.them back. Because as hard as this is going to be for them, Benteke,

:07:13. > :07:17.this is going to be a massive game for him, if he stands up and is

:07:18. > :07:22.counted and show the boys and lead by example really. It's a tough

:07:23. > :07:26.game. It's never dull when Klopp's around. He's made a real impact

:07:27. > :07:31.already on English football both on and off the pitch.

:07:32. > :07:36.If somebody want to help LFC, you have to change from doubter to

:07:37. > :07:38.believer. COMMENTATOR: Benteke takes his time

:07:39. > :07:41.before shooting and scoring. REPORTER: Do you think your team is

:07:42. > :07:47.ready to fight for the league? Oh, please, are you crazy?

:07:48. > :07:51.COMMENTATOR: It's in on the second attempt. This is the greatest league

:07:52. > :07:55.in the world because teams like West Brom come and make it difficult for

:07:56. > :07:59.the teams that have everything. The atmosphere in the stadium was the

:08:00. > :08:05.best since I'm here. COMMENTATOR: He's caught Sakho. He's

:08:06. > :08:10.a soft German I think it's first time they've said this about me.

:08:11. > :08:14.COMMENTATOR: It's 3-0. I hope some people did something better on this

:08:15. > :08:19.Sunday when watching this game. The hammers. Maybe it's more my second

:08:20. > :08:24.name than soft. COMMENTATOR: 2-0 and Liverpool have

:08:25. > :08:29.no answer. It's not a day for being disappointed. It's a day for being

:08:30. > :08:34.angry. We get dirty afterwards, that's not a problem u, don't have

:08:35. > :08:38.to watch your clothes by yourself. Better than a boring start. You've

:08:39. > :08:42.been a busy boy for the last three months, your first experience of the

:08:43. > :08:47.FA Cup. First experience for some of your players as well. There must be

:08:48. > :08:58.some in that 11 that you haven't even seen play yet? No, on video I

:08:59. > :09:02.saw them playing. Kevin Stewart here since two days. Kent trained a few

:09:03. > :09:05.session was us together. That's true, not all of them I saw a lot.

:09:06. > :09:11.But it's the situation and special problems. They need special

:09:12. > :09:17.solutions, that's what we try to do. So tonight we are here. But these

:09:18. > :09:23.boys know each other. A lot of them play together in the youth. If they

:09:24. > :09:28.want, this is the future of LFC. So tonight it's not the most easy

:09:29. > :09:35.situation because they didn't train often together, but FA Cup, yeah,

:09:36. > :09:42.lifts from special stories, usually from the smaller clubs, we'll say,

:09:43. > :09:45.so in our situation we have to try everything to go to the next round.

:09:46. > :09:51.We do it with this team. Is it a gamble then from you? No, no chance

:09:52. > :09:59.to gamble. I didn't want. The only team I could present tonight. We are

:10:00. > :10:06.always in talks with medical department and so, we had to react

:10:07. > :10:11.on our situation. It's not usual that you have this situation on

:10:12. > :10:16.centre halves. That's why we have to react and yeah, we did it. You have

:10:17. > :10:19.rest aid few players with big -- rested a few players with big games

:10:20. > :10:24.in the league as well. Nobody's resting. They all do what they have

:10:25. > :10:28.to do after these intensive weeks. Nobody is resting. They all are

:10:29. > :10:31.recovering to be in the best shape. The game today came too early for

:10:32. > :10:38.them. That's the thing. They all have different problems. So, we

:10:39. > :10:43.decided this thing. Have you ever done a pre-match interview in a tea

:10:44. > :10:46.room before? For sure. You cannot imagine where I played before by

:10:47. > :10:50.myself. It's nice, everything here what you need. I was looking out for

:10:51. > :10:55.my cup, but there's no cup with my name, I'm sorry. There might be an

:10:56. > :10:59.FA Cup at the end of the season. I hope it's coffee inside here. Sue

:11:00. > :11:04.and Tracey is inside.. I would like a coffee. Thank you very much.

:11:05. > :11:09.That's the magic of the cup right there.

:11:10. > :11:13.We are contract wally obliged to say that at some point. There's Benteke,

:11:14. > :11:17.the one really recognisable face. One or two others coming back from

:11:18. > :11:22.injury at Liverpool. The focus is on him this evening. He has to prove

:11:23. > :11:26.himself. Hae has. -- he has. To get the best out of Benteke, we saw at

:11:27. > :11:30.Villa here, you have to put crosses into the box. When you do, he is

:11:31. > :11:37.awesome in the air, as we know. He proved that at Aston Villa and 32.

:11:38. > :11:43.?32.5 million suggests that he has that in his locker. It works in both

:11:44. > :11:47.ways really. He has to get in the box, but also Liverpool have got to

:11:48. > :11:52.put crosses into the box, like that. He is a threat. He's menace. He can

:11:53. > :11:56.cause all sorts of problems. It's a two-way situation. To get the best

:11:57. > :12:01.out of him, there's no point of playing him if you're not going to

:12:02. > :12:04.put good balls into the box. We were talking about the fact that because

:12:05. > :12:09.he's playing in this game, Klopp might not be sure about him. What's

:12:10. > :12:15.wrong with him? People are saying about his link-up play, you know, to

:12:16. > :12:18.get people into the game and you know, maybe his finishing, the

:12:19. > :12:21.ball's bouncing off him. I was coming up on the train with a couple

:12:22. > :12:24.of Liverpool fans, they weren't caning him, but they're not happy.

:12:25. > :12:28.They're not seeing it yet. This is the kind of game, if it goes the

:12:29. > :12:33.other way for any more in a game like this, where they don't see

:12:34. > :12:37.enough out of him, it could work out bad for him. There's a big question

:12:38. > :12:42.being asked tonight. One place they have experience is at the back with

:12:43. > :12:46.the goalkeeper. Mignolet is not in. Bogdan's been around, but he's had

:12:47. > :12:50.hairy moments as well. I spoke to their manager, Exeter, Paul Tisdale,

:12:51. > :12:55.in the week, this is where he feels he can cause Liverpool problems.

:12:56. > :13:00.Irrespective of whether it was Mignolet or Bogdan. Get balls into

:13:01. > :13:04.the box, because they are susceptible when balls come in,

:13:05. > :13:08.whether it's defenders or the keeper coming and flapping at crosses. Shot

:13:09. > :13:14.stopping, that's a different matter. He's very good at that, I think. But

:13:15. > :13:17.don't be surprised if you see Exeter raining in balls at every

:13:18. > :13:21.opportunity, good balls in. That's exactly what they should be doing.

:13:22. > :13:25.You watch some of the clips there on a decent pitch, he should be

:13:26. > :13:28.catching them Even more so when you have an inexperienced back four who

:13:29. > :13:33.haven't played much together. In contrast to Liverpool, Exeter have

:13:34. > :13:37.plenty of experience in the squad. Matt Oakley was a losing Cup

:13:38. > :13:41.Finalist with Southampton in 2003. Clinton Morrison has scored goals in

:13:42. > :13:46.the Premier League. Mark's been to meet them.

:13:47. > :13:52.Did you think that moments like this weekend were gone? Yeah, I think you

:13:53. > :13:57.always think that, when you get to my age in my career, I was at home

:13:58. > :13:59.and I was like, jumped off the chair, thinking, "Could be the last

:14:00. > :14:06.time to play against a team like Liverpool. It was good for me and

:14:07. > :14:11.especially the lads." You, Jamie McAllister, Danny Butterfield, Matt

:14:12. > :14:16.Oakley, all in the twilight years. What's that a combined age of 200?

:14:17. > :14:28.We found a very good team in Arsenal in the final in 2003, it blew our

:14:29. > :14:32.bubble. I have the medal. It's a bag I keep with my under 21 caps. It's

:14:33. > :14:35.special for me. Love playing football and match day is the best

:14:36. > :14:39.day of the week. Until I lose that buzz, I lose my fitness, and my

:14:40. > :14:46.pace... LAUGHTER

:14:47. > :14:49.What are you laughing at? Nothing. This year Liverpool, last year

:14:50. > :14:53.Warrington, that must be a horrendous low. We took some stick

:14:54. > :14:59.after that game. It will hopefully be us on the other side trying to do

:15:00. > :15:02.that to Liverpool. It's more of an embarrassing feel as an individual

:15:03. > :15:06.as well as a club. It takes its time to get that out of your system. It's

:15:07. > :15:09.certainly a feeling that we hope to be passing on to the Liverpool

:15:10. > :15:13.players. Plenty of previous with Liverpool. Loads of previous. I

:15:14. > :15:16.think I've scored like five goals in six or seven and I've always had

:15:17. > :15:19.friendly banter with the Liverpool fans. They're a great clubs. It's a

:15:20. > :15:23.privilege to play a team like Liverpool. It's easy to talk about

:15:24. > :15:30.upsets. Does any little bit of you fear a drubbing? No. Footballers

:15:31. > :15:36.don't think like that snrchlts No, I don't think you can fear a drubbing.

:15:37. > :15:38.It's a possibility it could ha. We certainly feel at St James' Park we

:15:39. > :15:42.can get a result. They're not going to enjoy it. I think the pitch has

:15:43. > :15:45.taken a battering in two, three weeks with the weather. It's not

:15:46. > :15:50.playing great. They'll be training on perfect pitches. We've been

:15:51. > :15:54.training on nothing. Hope flit weather's bad on -- hopefully, the

:15:55. > :15:59.weather's bad on the night and that gives us a little advantage. It has

:16:00. > :16:03.to be said - well it doesn't, but I'm going to - Exeter aren't

:16:04. > :16:11.bringing form into the game. They've lost four times in the league aft

:16:12. > :16:14.beating Port Vale. There is Paul Tisdale, possibly the best dressed

:16:15. > :16:18.gaffer in English football and maybe he's due a bit of luck in this

:16:19. > :16:23.competition, having won just four FA Cup ties in ten years at the club.

:16:24. > :16:27.That makes him the second longest serving manager in English football

:16:28. > :16:31.after Arsene Wenger and he's been speaking to Dan Walker. Paul, this

:16:32. > :16:33.club have been involved in great nights in their history,

:16:34. > :16:39.opportunities for another one this evening? Definitely. I mean, it's

:16:40. > :16:42.the FA Cup, anything can happen. We've just got the team sheets.

:16:43. > :16:47.Liverpool don't have their strongest side. I don't know a great deal

:16:48. > :16:50.about their team - Join the club! The thing is they are Liverpool

:16:51. > :16:54.players and wearing the Liverpool shirt. We know what we have to do to

:16:55. > :16:58.play our best, that's what we'll concentrate on. It's a great

:16:59. > :17:02.opportunity tonight. People who have seen Exeter play, those who

:17:03. > :17:08.regularly watch League Two, will know you're not a hoof it and chase

:17:09. > :17:11.team. How do you get your players to play with freedom, despite the

:17:12. > :17:15.occasion. That's part of the manager's craft, surely. We work on

:17:16. > :17:18.it all week. You get it right sometimes and not others. We are a

:17:19. > :17:21.different club. This is an opportunity to show that we're

:17:22. > :17:25.different and we can play our game. It will be a good atmosphere

:17:26. > :17:31.tonight. It's a good old-fashioned football stadium. I hope Liverpool

:17:32. > :17:35.have a very unfomentable night. Are you able to enjoy nights like this?

:17:36. > :17:41.I've been asked that question all week, yes, I have. There's a lot of

:17:42. > :17:46.interest. That's a high quality problem. Ian Wright is in the studio

:17:47. > :17:49.tonight. He wanted to say to you, he loves your clobber. Thank you very

:17:50. > :17:53.much for talking to us. Thank you very much indeed.

:17:54. > :18:00.Terrific hat. That's for sure. I love his hat. Great longevity. He

:18:01. > :18:03.has been here a long time. He mentioned about he negotiated a

:18:04. > :18:07.contract for the tea lady and stuff. He's one of those that he's right in

:18:08. > :18:10.amongst it. It means a lot to him this club. I think that they've got

:18:11. > :18:15.a great opportunity with the way it's worked out for them tonight.

:18:16. > :18:19.Not only the pitch. Jurgen Klopp was saying the pitch would be a

:18:20. > :18:23.leveller. We have to have a bit of Leeway on him because of the pitch

:18:24. > :18:29.but that's what the FA Cup is about. Who might cause problems for

:18:30. > :18:31.Liverpool? You have to look at the centre forward, 22-year-old Tom

:18:32. > :18:35.Nichols, nine goals this season. He's been at the club since he was

:18:36. > :18:42.11 years of age. We mention crosses. We are showing two of them here. If

:18:43. > :18:46.they get them in, he can do that. Decent in the air, decent finish on

:18:47. > :18:51.him. Exposure here, I like this. Then the income tax one as well. --

:18:52. > :18:57.then the next one as well. No panic, lift it over, nice. You have Enrique

:18:58. > :19:03.playing in the centre, if they get the ball in there, with the fact

:19:04. > :19:16.that the communication will be tough - And they have bags of experience.

:19:17. > :19:20.Sclul. -- absolutely. You have to think the lack of match practice

:19:21. > :19:24.chances. Couldn't get in the Villa team. You're worried. You have to

:19:25. > :19:32.worry about that. There's no shortage of famous Exeter fans. We

:19:33. > :19:37.found two! Here's the other one. Hi, Liverpool is one of my favourite

:19:38. > :19:43.places in the world. Today they're coming to play soccer against

:19:44. > :19:48.Exeter, which is where I'm from. Here's my message of good luck to

:19:49. > :19:55.Exeter City. The greatest team on earth. You can do it. Thanks for

:19:56. > :19:59.that. Their latest album is Head full of Dreams. You pinched my line

:20:00. > :20:03.there, he's got a head full of dreams. You said it better than me,

:20:04. > :20:06.that's for sure. Just a few minutes from kickoff and Dan's caught up

:20:07. > :20:11.with the man who opened the show with us, the other famous fan.

:20:12. > :20:14.Yeah we thought we'd give you the opportunity to talk us into the

:20:15. > :20:19.game. We've heard from Gary, Eastern and Allan. They know nothing! You're

:20:20. > :20:24.a fan, what does this mean? The fans have been here for hours already

:20:25. > :20:28.It's a very big game. The talk on the stand in a minute is whether we

:20:29. > :20:31.want a win or a draw. Are you getting carried away? We don't think

:20:32. > :20:34.we're going to lose. It's a possibility obviously, but a draw

:20:35. > :20:38.might be nice because we get an away day at Liverpool. What would it mean

:20:39. > :20:42.for this club, special Friday night, millions watching at home, packed

:20:43. > :20:45.stadium as well, to beat a team like Liverpool, even though they're not

:20:46. > :20:49.playing a full side? There's about 10,000 people here. Normally it's

:20:50. > :20:53.4,000. It means an awful lot. They're making a big noise. We've

:20:54. > :20:56.got a good team. We play at a different level, we're aware of

:20:57. > :21:00.that. We have a manager who knows how to make players play. We have a

:21:01. > :21:04.lot of academy players playing. They play a beautiful, on the ground

:21:05. > :21:07.game, it will be fun to test it against 57 million on the park and

:21:08. > :21:12.32 on the bench, even with their reserve team. You fully believe that

:21:13. > :21:16.this can be your night - It's a win or a draw. It is! You heard it from

:21:17. > :21:21.the man himself. You said everyone's been here for a while. If we can

:21:22. > :21:26.swing the camera round, this lot have been in here for a full hour,

:21:27. > :21:29.singing, dancing, getting ready, if it goes their way, maybe we could

:21:30. > :21:33.have a bit of heaven in Devon tonight.

:21:34. > :21:38.All exciting stuff. What is it, a win or a draw for Exeter? No other

:21:39. > :21:43.option aparentsly. I think they have a fantastic opportunity. When they

:21:44. > :21:46.looked at that team sheet, initially they'd have been disappointed

:21:47. > :21:49.because the players want to play the big-name players. But when reality

:21:50. > :21:54.sets in, they'll think, you know what, we've got a chance tonight.

:21:55. > :21:59.We've got one opportunity to make a name for ourselves tonight and with

:22:00. > :22:03.the crowd here, behind them, we're all here, the BBC, expecting an

:22:04. > :22:09.upset, brilliant. Will they cause an upset, both of you? Yes. I think so

:22:10. > :22:13.as well. Do you? Yes, I do. There they are. The two teams are in the

:22:14. > :22:19.tunnel. Here we go. The first third round cup tie of 2016, it's Exeter

:22:20. > :22:25.versus Liverpool. Our commentators are Danny Murphy and Guy Mowbray.

:22:26. > :22:29.COMMENTATOR: Thanks Gary. Welcome everyone to round three of the

:22:30. > :22:33.Emirates FA Cup. For many, this is one of the best weekends of the

:22:34. > :22:37.football season and it all starts here with what is a classic

:22:38. > :22:41.concoction, lower-league side at home to one of the great names of

:22:42. > :22:46.the game and the game will be played on a surface that, well, it's not

:22:47. > :22:49.quite Hereford and Halifax of yesteryear, it's not going to play

:22:50. > :22:52.as pristinely as those Liverpool are used to in the Premier League. As

:22:53. > :23:03.has been said, anything could happen. Liverpool's experienced trio

:23:04. > :23:06.are about to lead them out of the cramped tunnel at St James' Park.

:23:07. > :23:14.Christian Benteke captaining them for the night. Adam Bogdan and Jose

:23:15. > :23:20.Enrique tucked in his r behind him. -- tucked in behind him. Liverpool

:23:21. > :23:29.fielding a hugely inexperienced side tonight. Finally, the match

:23:30. > :23:34.officials. They've crept through the two sets of players to lead them out

:23:35. > :23:41.onto the turf. There won't be as much turf on there by the end of the

:23:42. > :23:47.evening. This is one of the most atmospheric

:23:48. > :23:50.grounds in the lower leagues. The big bank has a big reputation. It is

:23:51. > :24:06.absolutely jam packed tonight. Jurgen Klopp has been making himself

:24:07. > :24:10.at home. We heard him say in his playing career in Germany he might

:24:11. > :24:17.have seen grounds of a similar nature to this. We saw him engaging

:24:18. > :24:31.in lively conversation with Grecian the lion, Exeter City's mascot.

:24:32. > :25:26.The average age of the 11 is down to just over 22. Average squad number,

:25:27. > :25:37.34 and a bit. Two of the most stylish managers

:25:38. > :25:41.around, although Jurgen Klopp has gone for the tracksuit look pretty

:25:42. > :25:47.much ever since he came to this country. He was very much a jumper

:25:48. > :25:50.and jeans man in the Bundesliga. Matt Oakley and Clinton Morrison,

:25:51. > :25:53.Exeter with more familiar names on their bench than most of Liverpool's

:25:54. > :26:08.starting line-up. David Noble is a key player tonight.

:26:09. > :26:13.I like an old, experienced player and I think he's the passer, the

:26:14. > :26:21.play-maker and could be crucial in their creativity this evening. Then

:26:22. > :26:24.this young man, Bradley Smith, impressed with him with the games

:26:25. > :26:28.I've seen in the Europa League, tenacious, good crosser of the ball,

:26:29. > :26:31.loves to get forward and we'll see him flying down the left-hand side.

:26:32. > :26:36.A fascinating game this evening with the changes Jurgen Klopp has made.

:26:37. > :26:43.It's become a real difficult game for these young lads tonight. I

:26:44. > :26:51.expect a close encounter. Stuart Atwell is the man in charge. He's

:26:52. > :27:00.already referred the League Cup tie at Sunderland at the end of August

:27:01. > :27:08.for Exeter. It was 6-3 that night. It was 3-3 at halftime

:27:09. > :27:14.Er It is a game that's had that sort of feel, the whole of this city is

:27:15. > :27:20.getting behind Paul Tisdale's team. That's how this club is, since 2003,

:27:21. > :27:25.it hasn't got an owner. It's been run by a Supporter's Trust.

:27:26. > :27:34.Everybody gets involved. They are a model to follow. Exeter will just

:27:35. > :27:38.wish their recent form had been better, four straight defeats amidst

:27:39. > :27:40.their own battle with injuries. They've seen a number of senior

:27:41. > :27:48.players ruled out. Every vantage point taken. This is

:27:49. > :28:14.great, a proper throw-back. We're all set with Liverpool to get

:28:15. > :28:19.the action under way. They're in their change strip of all white

:28:20. > :28:28.tonight. Exeter in their red and white striped shirts. How will

:28:29. > :28:30.Liverpool's young line-up deal with an FA Cup third round tie that has

:28:31. > :28:56.all the ingredients for an upset? Connor Randall, his third

:28:57. > :29:03.appearance, two in the Capital One cup this season.

:29:04. > :29:09.Free kick for Liverpool. Huge moment for some of these young

:29:10. > :29:13.players to put on that Liverpool shirt, especially the local lads,

:29:14. > :29:15.for the first time, an amazing feeling and something they will

:29:16. > :29:16.remember for the rest of their careers and a great opportunity for

:29:17. > :29:54.them. He arrived at Exeter from Peter

:29:55. > :30:08.Brough. He was at Aston Villa as a junior. He finds Lee Holmes. He has

:30:09. > :30:15.the beating of Randall. A cross by Kent. Good tracking by the young

:30:16. > :30:20.winger. In a hurry to get the ball moving again. It was played too

:30:21. > :30:33.hurriedly. Looking to spring Sinclair away again.

:30:34. > :30:41.Properly hamstrung by what team he could pick this evening. No doubt at

:30:42. > :30:52.all, he says, that this was the team he had to pick. Especially with the

:30:53. > :30:56.fixtures they have coming up. One or two maybe should have played tonight

:30:57. > :31:07.but we will see, these lads are obviously talented. They have

:31:08. > :31:11.ability. Here is Noble. Enrique. He plays the ball out with a

:31:12. > :31:15.deflection. I was thinking of the likes of Joe Allen who has not had

:31:16. > :31:21.many minutes. Milner has just got back. He knows his players better

:31:22. > :31:28.than I do. He is with them every day. He has the periods of those

:31:29. > :31:34.talented players on the bench. -- he has the experience will stop it is a

:31:35. > :31:43.nice question, those two. -- experience. Could not keep the ball

:31:44. > :31:47.in Liverpool's possession. Plays it back to bog down. Passes when there

:31:48. > :31:55.is not so much time as that will have to be precise tonight. No

:31:56. > :32:00.risks, no silly mistakes. Looking for Reid. That will easily get

:32:01. > :32:04.through to Bogdan. One of the reasons Liverpool signed him was

:32:05. > :32:09.because of his performance for Bolton against Liverpool last

:32:10. > :32:21.season. It was a terrific performance. That was a little bit

:32:22. > :32:26.too close. Jose Enrique looks disdainfully at Tom Nichols. Here is

:32:27. > :32:32.Benteke again. He gifted the ball back. He had the strength to hold

:32:33. > :32:44.him off. He then presented it to tailor. -- Taylor. He had to be

:32:45. > :32:50.switched on to keep it away from Reid. That will be a free kick. Nice

:32:51. > :32:55.bit of skill by Teixeira. Really nice bit of skill. Just before that

:32:56. > :32:59.we saw the obvious pace of Nichols against Enrique. That will be

:33:00. > :33:04.something to watch. If he keeps being asked to turn around and run

:33:05. > :33:08.back to his own goal, he has not played a lot, well, he has not

:33:09. > :33:13.played at all. He will not be at his sharpest. He has played for the

:33:14. > :33:18.under-21 side full of a brawl in central defence this season. When

:33:19. > :33:22.you put together a back four at short notice, there is an experience

:33:23. > :33:26.in there, and there will be miscommunication. He is an

:33:27. > :33:42.experienced player so he should take responsibility. Holmes has a look.

:33:43. > :34:04.Jordan Moore-Taylor, 20 years old. It is a Liverpool throw. Randall. It

:34:05. > :34:10.would not run for Sinclair. That is Alex Nicholls, rather, Tom Nichols.

:34:11. > :34:27.That was a good tackle by Teixeira. The Portuguese has it again, finding

:34:28. > :34:34.Benteke. Sinclair. He had to win it. Benteke was just a little bit

:34:35. > :34:39.stronger. It does not cost his team, though. Lovely plate, turning around

:34:40. > :34:53.the corner. Nice little linkup between him and Sinclair.

:34:54. > :35:09.Lee Holmes given plenty of time on the ball. It should be tidied up and

:35:10. > :35:17.cleared and it is by Brannagan. Sinclair gets onto the return.

:35:18. > :35:24.Benteke and Teixeira are over to his left. He cannot get to that. It is

:35:25. > :35:28.overdone by Teixeira. Sinclair, there was a moment where he could

:35:29. > :35:32.have played it into Benteke and he was crying out for it. You have to

:35:33. > :35:37.make a conscious effort to get the ball in the box when you have space

:35:38. > :35:41.and time but he decides to cut back and be more intricate. Those are the

:35:42. > :35:45.moments when you have to get the ball in the box and let Benteke use

:35:46. > :35:48.his power, especially against players at this level who are so

:35:49. > :35:56.much bigger and stronger and more experienced. Straight out of play by

:35:57. > :36:00.Bobby Olejnik. Fascinating in the warm up, I was surprised to see

:36:01. > :36:04.Jurgen Klopp doing some phases of play, attacking movements with

:36:05. > :36:08.Benteke. Obviously because they haven't played together. It is

:36:09. > :36:20.something I don't think I've ever seen before. Interesting approach on

:36:21. > :36:32.match day by Jurgen Klopp. There was no foul. They can build again. Reid

:36:33. > :36:41.is running here. And in front of Jose Enrique. He plays it across to

:36:42. > :36:48.Nichols. Exeter City strike first in the FA Cup third round. It was an

:36:49. > :36:55.easy goal too. St. James' Park is jumping. Although the Exeter

:36:56. > :37:04.management team remains as calm as they can. Their team has started.

:37:05. > :37:10.Are they back to glory? Scored by Tom Nichols who gets his 10th of the

:37:11. > :37:15.season and it is the one that he will cherish the most. It's that

:37:16. > :37:20.space behind Enrique that I talked about earlier, he hasn't got the

:37:21. > :37:25.legs or the pace. Keep putting it in there. This time it is Reid who

:37:26. > :37:31.outdoes him. Super ball across the box and what a calm finish by

:37:32. > :37:35.Nichols on his weaker foot. It is a brilliant finish. He scored last

:37:36. > :37:41.weekend against Dagenham Redbridge. He also scored in the

:37:42. > :37:51.first round at Didcot. This one is against Liverpool.

:37:52. > :38:05.A little bit of uncertainty. Jordan Moore-Taylor tidies it up by putting

:38:06. > :38:10.it behind. That is the good final end product. That Smith possesses

:38:11. > :38:23.with his left foot. Great ball across. Brannagan. He will take the

:38:24. > :38:27.Liverpool corner. It might work even though it doesn't look like a good

:38:28. > :38:30.one. It is Smith with the effort. It is stopped right under the nose of

:38:31. > :38:37.Olejnik. He had this day Khan with Ryan Kent

:38:38. > :38:53.closing. -- he had to remain calm. Kent was recalled from a loan spell

:38:54. > :39:11.at Coventry. It's a decent comeback at Exeter

:39:12. > :39:16.this, by Liverpool, starting to knock it around for the first time

:39:17. > :39:24.in the game. It was a good reaction. Exactly what you would expect.

:39:25. > :39:29.Sometimes you get a bit more relaxed when you go a goal down because you

:39:30. > :39:33.have nothing to lose. It is going in from Smith. It's a good block by the

:39:34. > :39:39.defender. Exeter will be delighted with the start they have made. It's

:39:40. > :39:48.easier when you are standing or sitting here, but the pace that they

:39:49. > :39:54.have upfront is going to cause him problems. Ryan Kent is pretty pacey

:39:55. > :40:03.himself. He manages to squeeze it through the legs of Alex Nicholls.

:40:04. > :40:08.There might be shot for Ryan Kent here it almost deflects for Benteke.

:40:09. > :40:17.It does come to Sinclair. Liverpool are level. Well, that didn't take

:40:18. > :40:24.long. Jerome Sinclair scores his first senior goal for Liverpool.

:40:25. > :40:35.Exeter just couldn't get the ball away. It's a bit of a lucky goal

:40:36. > :40:46.actually. Benteke just gets a touch there. At sixes and sevens, no one

:40:47. > :40:51.demanding it. It's a good finish. And a good touch by Benteke. He

:40:52. > :40:55.maybe could have got a penalty. It is a calm finish by Sinclair and

:40:56. > :41:00.Liverpool get back into it straightaway. It really has been an

:41:01. > :41:04.excellent reaction by Jurgen Klopp's team. Almost as if they needed

:41:05. > :41:08.Exeter to score to really get themselves in the game. A big moment

:41:09. > :41:14.for Jerome Sinclair. There was a lot of speculation about whether he has

:41:15. > :41:19.an Anfield future. He is in the final year of his current deal. He

:41:20. > :41:21.has been linked with moves away. Maybe this is a bit of window time

:41:22. > :41:32.for him today. He has made his mark. Kent keeps it in. Ryan Kent with the

:41:33. > :41:52.shot. Stewart has Brannagan calling for it

:41:53. > :42:02.on the edge of the box. That is a clever ball by Brannagan to Benteke.

:42:03. > :42:10.Olejnik thought about coming to try to catch it. It is put behind. More

:42:11. > :42:14.pressure from the rubble, good, patient build-up. Jurgen Klopp will

:42:15. > :42:24.be delighted by the reaction of these young players, even if it was

:42:25. > :42:32.a touch fortunate. Smith's corner. Stewart was trying to get onto it.

:42:33. > :42:44.Trying to find Kent. Put away by Noble. What a turnaround. The

:42:45. > :42:53.celebrations were still going on behind Bobby Olejnik's goal. Yes,

:42:54. > :42:59.they seem to leave it to each other. Nobody wants responsibility for the

:43:00. > :43:02.equaliser. A big boost for the young lads of Liverpool. Trying to regain

:43:03. > :43:09.some confidence and a foothold in the game. Especially for that young

:43:10. > :43:14.man. Liverpool's youngest ever player when he made his debut at

:43:15. > :43:21.West Brom just over three years ago, six days after his 16th birthday.

:43:22. > :43:26.The path of football has not exactly run smoothly for him since then,

:43:27. > :43:31.this is his fourth game. He has been talked about a lot from long time

:43:32. > :43:34.but he has not hit the heights people expected. Sometimes young

:43:35. > :43:39.players take a while to develop. That goal could be a springboard for

:43:40. > :43:45.him. He certainly took it well enough. Looking at some of the

:43:46. > :43:52.Liverpool players making their debut, Stewart and Kent tonight. It

:43:53. > :43:58.was on this day in 1997 that Jamie Carragher made his debut for the

:43:59. > :44:00.rubble. I can't see any of the trio starting tonight playing 337 times

:44:01. > :44:20.for the club! Teixeira has impressed when he has

:44:21. > :44:28.had the ball. Yes. Sinclair. He took his goal. Teixeira has found the

:44:29. > :44:34.ball again. It is deflected. It came off Brown. Another Liverpool corner.

:44:35. > :44:42.Good feet from Teixeira. Really good skill. Confidence on the ball. I was

:44:43. > :44:51.speaking with a friend of mine at Brighton when he was there on loan

:44:52. > :44:57.and he was impressive there. Ryan Kent is waiting to collect it after

:44:58. > :45:13.the deep corner. He loses control as he tries to tease his way around

:45:14. > :45:18.Jordan Tillson. So, the first two goals of the Emirates FA Cup third

:45:19. > :45:26.round came in the first 12 minutes. Tom Nichols striking first four

:45:27. > :45:30.Exeter. Both goals really well taken, about three minutes later

:45:31. > :45:38.Jerome Sinclair drew Liverpool level.

:45:39. > :45:54.Cool, calm and collected. Getting Liverpool right back into the game.

:45:55. > :46:01.He threatened immediately after Exeter scored, really. Liverpool

:46:02. > :46:16.free kick here. Jose Enrique to take it. Looking for Benteke. A good one

:46:17. > :46:20.by Brannagan. He is not the tallest but he is highly thought of, the

:46:21. > :46:26.captain of the Liverpool under-21 team.

:46:27. > :46:37.Out to Smith. Here is Teixeira. Benteke wanted it but Teixeira could

:46:38. > :46:42.not get his head up to see him and he took too long and it's an Exeter

:46:43. > :46:45.City goal kick. Coming down the left-hand side with Bradley Smith,

:46:46. > :46:54.we talked about his willingness to keep getting forward. The Exeter

:46:55. > :46:58.team are struggling at the moment. Allowing Liverpool the easy get out

:46:59. > :47:07.ball to him down the left-hand side. Here is Tillson. It is sliced. You

:47:08. > :47:12.may recognise his surname, he is the son of Andy Tillson who was a player

:47:13. > :47:20.at Bristol Rovers for a long time and a short time the assistant to

:47:21. > :47:24.Paul Tisdale here. I once played cricket with Paul Tisdale for the

:47:25. > :47:29.Lord's Taverners and I have to say that he bats as stylishly as he

:47:30. > :47:38.dresses. He made 50 odd in that game which is 50 more than me. It's a

:47:39. > :47:39.good job you're a good commentator! Lets not get into that debate!

:47:40. > :47:50.CHUCKLES Jose Enrique is forced to put it out

:47:51. > :48:07.of play. Noble nearest to the thrower. Tries

:48:08. > :48:14.to come across for it. He gets it clear. It's a strain -- strange

:48:15. > :48:18.touch by Benteke but he finds a team-mate. Stewart was making a

:48:19. > :48:37.powerful run past Jerome Sinclair. We have talked a lot about the youth

:48:38. > :48:41.in the Liverpool team. Brad Smith 21, Teixeira and Stewart are 22,

:48:42. > :48:46.quite old to be just getting into the team. It's a combination of bad

:48:47. > :48:50.luck and circumstance sometimes. The demands for success means that you

:48:51. > :48:54.can't risk teenagers any more really. Now is the time for some of

:48:55. > :48:58.these lads to make a stake otherwise they will have to move on somewhere

:48:59. > :49:04.else and try to get some first-team experience. You can't play in the

:49:05. > :49:20.reserves, under-21 football for too many years. Exeter's throw. Straight

:49:21. > :49:31.to Jordan Moore-Taylor. He has got plenty of time. Kent had to be quick

:49:32. > :49:38.and he was. And then he is taken out by Noble. Not a particular Noble

:49:39. > :49:50.challenge liked Oriel it is good play actually. -- not a particularly

:49:51. > :49:57.Noble challenge! He was impressive whilst on loan at Coventry. You can

:49:58. > :50:01.see that he has got talent. They have had a good teacher in Tony

:50:02. > :50:09.Mowbray. He plays good football. Yes. When players go out on loan

:50:10. > :50:16.from a big club it is important that they go somewhere with a similar

:50:17. > :50:21.philosophy. Brad Smith with the Liverpool throw in. Exeter took the

:50:22. > :50:22.lead in the ninth minute and since then most of the game has been

:50:23. > :50:45.played in their half. Randall is on the move. He will stay

:50:46. > :50:52.forward for the throw in conceded by Jordan Moore-Taylor.

:50:53. > :50:57.Stewart is bundled over. It was more of a collision than a challenge. Tom

:50:58. > :51:13.Nichols responsible for it. There is a chance for Cameron

:51:14. > :51:17.Brannagan to find a telling ball in. This is a great opportunity to get

:51:18. > :51:24.some quality in for Benteke. He plays it short. Something different.

:51:25. > :51:30.Not the best to edges but he recovers well. It is not a bad

:51:31. > :51:37.effort. It is still a strange choice when you have the pen -- the power

:51:38. > :51:43.of Benteke. I would put it in the box every time. That is on. When you

:51:44. > :51:48.have a quality that Benteke has got area league, you have to get the

:51:49. > :51:51.ball in the box. There was some question about whether Olejnik got

:51:52. > :51:58.his hand to that. That was Randall's claim. That was not the best

:51:59. > :52:06.clearance with his feet although it has come off for Exeter. Foreword by

:52:07. > :52:18.Alex Nicholls to Tom Littles. Foreword comes Ribeiro. It is

:52:19. > :52:25.stopped by Tiago Ilori. Well, Tom Nichols' pace causing problems

:52:26. > :52:32.again. -- played forward by Alex Nicholls to Tom Nichols. When he was

:52:33. > :52:36.coming through at Sporting Lisbon he was said to be the quickest to come

:52:37. > :52:44.out of the academy. When you think that they have had Ronaldo and Nani

:52:45. > :52:51.in there. That is a fair point. Illori climbs to headed away. The

:52:52. > :52:56.flag is up. Just talking about Tiago Ilori. It's an interesting case in

:52:57. > :53:01.point, ?7 million when Liverpool brought him from Sporting Lisbon in

:53:02. > :53:05.December 2014, he has been on loan in Spain and was in France last

:53:06. > :53:10.season and nowhere near the Aston Villa first team this season. It is

:53:11. > :53:14.curious. Quite a few transfers at Liverpool have been curious in

:53:15. > :53:18.recent years. They have brought in players who have never really done

:53:19. > :53:24.anything. That is one aspect of the club that Jurgen Klopp will want to

:53:25. > :53:30.tweak a little bit. They have not had enough success in the transfer

:53:31. > :53:34.market, it's as simple as that. Their injury problems, particularly

:53:35. > :53:38.in defence, you would expect to see Jurgen Klopp dipping into the market

:53:39. > :53:42.this month. The problem is finding the quality of players that you want

:53:43. > :53:46.because good players usually don't leave clubs at this stage. He

:53:47. > :53:52.certainly was not impressed with that bit of quality. Randall closes

:53:53. > :53:57.down. The problem Exeter have had since scoring is that they play an

:53:58. > :54:03.obvious 4-1- 3-2 and it means they are really narrow. The full-backs

:54:04. > :54:07.are always on and it's an easy get out ball. So they might have to

:54:08. > :54:14.tweak that a little bit otherwise they will be under a lot of

:54:15. > :54:20.pressure. Tom Nichols wins them a free kick here. Wearing number ten,

:54:21. > :54:29.they do have an orthodox winger on the field to bring some width. This

:54:30. > :54:32.will be all about, it would seem, Woodman getting the ball into the

:54:33. > :54:43.middle. I would not blame them at all. Nicely lifted by Craig Woodman.

:54:44. > :54:49.The referee could not see a great deal through the crowd but his

:54:50. > :54:54.assistant helped him out. Goalkick. It's a decent ball in actually. Just

:54:55. > :55:03.teasing the keeper who does not come. I think it was Jordan

:55:04. > :55:09.Moore-Taylor who plays it wide. He cannot quite get over the ball. The

:55:10. > :55:10.president of the FA Greg Dyke is here alongside the clapping Exeter

:55:11. > :55:24.chairman, Taylor. The Exeter chairman, but it is

:55:25. > :55:28.purely a figurehead role because the club is run by supporters trust and

:55:29. > :55:40.it has been for 13 years, this is its 13th year now.

:55:41. > :55:45.Jose-Maria. Benteke. Nicely down to Kent. Taylor gets in his way. Noble

:55:46. > :56:12.away. Tiago Ilori finds Brannagan. He was trying to just knock the easy

:56:13. > :56:16.ball upfield and it was cut out and he can't stop Exeter from breaking

:56:17. > :56:59.the first time but he does the second time.

:57:00. > :57:09.Reid almost gets onto it. Noble has. Liverpool's defence seemed a little

:57:10. > :57:14.slow to react there. David Noble wasn't, he was quick enough. Crosses

:57:15. > :57:17.into the box causing problems again. I'm not sure if Noble is claiming a

:57:18. > :57:26.penalty therefore the late challenge. I think it was well after

:57:27. > :57:28.the ball had gone. But it was another positive move down the

:57:29. > :57:34.right-hand side for Exeter. Where they have already some joy. The lads

:57:35. > :57:39.in the studio were talking about Liverpool's vulnerability on

:57:40. > :57:44.crosses. Even when they have got everybody fit they struggle at

:57:45. > :57:45.times. Exeter have caused problems for them already this evening with

:57:46. > :58:09.good balls into the box. It seems strange to see Jurgen Klopp

:58:10. > :58:15.who we have seen at brassieres Dortmund and Anfield, with the tops

:58:16. > :58:21.of houses in the background! That is why we love this tournament.

:58:22. > :58:34.Brad Smith is on now. They are so narrow in midfield. Despite the lack

:58:35. > :58:40.of space Teixeira uses it well. He has done well with that touch.

:58:41. > :58:46.Randall has gone round the outside. Kent needed to use him, really.

:58:47. > :58:59.Ilori missed it. That is a good run by Kent. There

:59:00. > :59:07.are three waiting for him. Brown steers it away for Exeter. That is a

:59:08. > :59:14.superb pass. Great run, but what a pass. The first time we have seen

:59:15. > :59:19.his vision and creativity. A good ball into the box. It is played over

:59:20. > :59:26.the crossbar by Troy Brown this time. Not really under significant

:59:27. > :59:32.pressure, but Exeter are. Another good ball in, Brannagan again. A

:59:33. > :59:34.couple of little glimpses of what he can offer as an attacking force

:59:35. > :59:45.going forward and in midfield. Brannagan's corner. This time it is

:59:46. > :00:09.away from danger. Jose Enrique. Benteke got his head

:00:10. > :00:13.on it but only to flick it behind. We have started our third round at

:00:14. > :00:21.Exeter. Football Focus tomorrow comes live from Eastleigh at ten

:00:22. > :00:49.past 12 on BBC One. They will be watching if they go back inside.

:00:50. > :00:55.He did enough, but it was more Randall's own doing that led to the

:00:56. > :01:13.break down of the Liverpool attack. Still a party atmosphere right

:01:14. > :01:20.around St James' Park. Why wouldn't it be? This is the first time Exeter

:01:21. > :01:24.have been in the third round since 2004/05 and that famous draw at Old

:01:25. > :01:30.Trafford, 11 years ago today. Amazing result. I remember it well.

:01:31. > :01:34.They've got to try and sort this problem out. The full backs are

:01:35. > :01:39.getting the ball high up so easily they're just on the back four.

:01:40. > :01:45.That's probably what they're talking about, what he was talking about

:01:46. > :01:51.there. Until they solve that, they are going to be having less of the

:01:52. > :01:55.ball than Liverpool, for sure. Kevin Stewart has been neat and tidy when

:01:56. > :02:06.he's had the ball, a holding man for Liverpool.

:02:07. > :02:22.A tight spot for that to come off, it might have done though.

:02:23. > :02:26.Exeter City 1, Liverpool 1, in the Emirates FA Cup third round. 11

:02:27. > :02:48.minutes to go until halftime. He's lost his boot. One on target

:02:49. > :02:54.each. One goal each, 100%. That's probably about a fair reflection on

:02:55. > :03:03.the first half, though Liverpool have had the better possession. I

:03:04. > :03:09.think Moore-Taylor was trying to stall for time a bit. His team-mate

:03:10. > :03:13.had lost a boot. And with the pitch being as it is, you're going to get

:03:14. > :03:15.those type of passes. A lot more brown than green than there was at

:03:16. > :03:30.kickoff. I'm surprised anybody, anywhere in

:03:31. > :03:36.the country will be surprised to learn it was raining in Devon today,

:03:37. > :03:43.probably most other places today. Takes you back to when you were

:03:44. > :03:47.playing. Yes, it does. It's where you learn your trade, take a few

:03:48. > :03:51.whacks along the way, test your control. There's nothing wrong with

:03:52. > :03:58.going a bit longer, back to front, earlier.

:03:59. > :04:08.When the pitches are like this, it's no disgrace to try to play to your

:04:09. > :04:15.bigger target men or play behind for the quicker runners. Perhaps under

:04:16. > :04:19.scrutiny on crosses, Bogdan, after his mistake at Watford just before

:04:20. > :04:21.Christmas, his Liverpool Premier League debut. Didn't go that well,

:04:22. > :04:55.did it? Enrique, well out of the first-team

:04:56. > :04:59.picture at Liverpool. Hasn't played since the Fourth Round against

:05:00. > :05:03.Bolton last January. Surprised me a little bit. I always thought he was

:05:04. > :05:10.a talented fullback, good footballer, OK, not the most mobile.

:05:11. > :05:13.They've only got Moreno really that's played in that position for

:05:14. > :05:16.most of the season, I thought maybe could have pushed him a little bit

:05:17. > :05:21.more. Obviously, he hasn't been training well enough or been fit

:05:22. > :05:24.enough to push Moreno. Opportunity for him now, though, with the big

:05:25. > :05:29.games coming up in the next week or two. He's had a fair few problems

:05:30. > :05:45.with his knees has Enrique. Brad Smith seems to have taken over

:05:46. > :06:07.from the Spaniard in terms of deputising for Moreno.

:06:08. > :06:21.Exeter leading and playing with all the enthusiasm and adrenaline that a

:06:22. > :06:25.night like this, in front of their home crowd would give them. Then

:06:26. > :06:30.Liverpool took control for 15, 20 main i.s now it's an -- minutes. Now

:06:31. > :06:34.it's an even contest. I couldn't agree more. Teixeira has been a

:06:35. > :06:39.plus. He's shown really nice touches and confident play on a poor pitch.

:06:40. > :06:49.Brad Smith down the left-hand side has been a constant outlet for

:06:50. > :06:53.Liverpool. As the halve's worn on, I think young Brannagan's started to

:06:54. > :06:58.show his quality. Exeter have done well as well. They've broken well.

:06:59. > :06:59.They've caused problems getting in the wide positions, especially down

:07:00. > :07:22.the right-hand side. Deflected. Not significantly enough

:07:23. > :07:29.to force Olejnik all over the place. He got down to save. Yeah, it's a

:07:30. > :07:32.decent effort. I'm not sure if it came off Sinclair or Brown.

:07:33. > :07:46.Took the momentum out of the shot. Liverpool's two experienced

:07:47. > :07:52.substitutes are enjoying their night out in deepest Devon. I think

:07:53. > :07:55.they'll be hoping the young lads can put on a performance and win the

:07:56. > :08:07.game and that they're not called upon.

:08:08. > :08:14.That skewed awkwardly into the gloves of Olejnik. I say that on the

:08:15. > :08:15.basis that if they are called upon, you'd think Liverpool would be in

:08:16. > :08:54.trouble. It's wide! Christian Ribeiro coming

:08:55. > :08:58.in from right back. That must have been close. Oh, it was close. Well

:08:59. > :09:08.worked down the left-hand side, that was. What a quality cross this is

:09:09. > :09:19.from Holmes. He's come in from the right back position, Ribeiro. Oh,

:09:20. > :09:24.you're talking a foot, maybe less. Another quality cross causing

:09:25. > :09:28.problems for Liverpool. Lee Holmes has been good down the left side,

:09:29. > :09:29.when he's got good possession of the ball he can put good quality into

:09:30. > :09:41.the box. Tom Nichols has impressed. Lee

:09:42. > :09:49.Holmes has when he's had the chance. To -- chance to.

:09:50. > :09:59.Exeter well and truly in this. For sure. Just as we predicted, it's

:10:00. > :10:04.close. It's going to be tight. Ribeiro claims he was blocked. The

:10:05. > :10:13.assistant referee couldn't have been better placed to agree with him.

:10:14. > :10:17.Yeah, it's Teixeira. I'm not sure he did too much wrong there if I'm

:10:18. > :10:21.honest. A tad fortunate to get a free kick. A wonderful opportunity

:10:22. > :10:31.to put another quality ball into the box. In trouble, that young defence.

:10:32. > :10:36.Last Saturday, 2-0 defeat at West Ham for Liverpool. Two goals from

:10:37. > :10:43.crosses. Perhaps the comparison isn't a fair one with two different

:10:44. > :10:46.teams on the field. No, it isn't. But if someone's putting quality

:10:47. > :10:51.balls in, it's hard to go fend against. It's an obvious tactic -

:10:52. > :12:01.defend. The fans behind the goal trying to

:12:02. > :12:13.spur Exeter on to even greater efforts from the break.

:12:14. > :13:05.That will be a corner. Rnchts done well the last ten minutes, Exeter.

:13:06. > :13:11.Little triangles, round the edge of the box. Getting higher up the

:13:12. > :13:19.pitch. Only Tom Nichols in the penalty area

:13:20. > :13:25.at the moment. They need the ball first.

:13:26. > :13:31.Liverpool fans behind the goal. Not the sort of setting they're used

:13:32. > :13:34.to in following their team. You'd be surprised, those fans have been all

:13:35. > :13:37.over Europe. There's worse places than this. Bogging about's

:13:38. > :13:43.struggling. It's gone in. Straight in.

:13:44. > :13:48.On the stroke of halftime, Exeter have the lead again.

:13:49. > :13:57.And Adam Bogdan has been beaten direct from a corner.

:13:58. > :14:04.Unbelieverable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable goal. Lee Holmes

:14:05. > :14:15.straight in. The goalkeeper's made an awful mess

:14:16. > :14:18.of it. He has. You're right. There is a little bit going on with

:14:19. > :14:30.Nichols and him on the line. You've got to be stronger. Liverpool hit

:14:31. > :14:36.back straight away again? You can't be bullied by a striker, smaller

:14:37. > :14:40.than you, weaker than you. Get one of your defenders involved and push

:14:41. > :14:44.him out of the way. He claimed he was fouled against

:14:45. > :14:49.Watford as well. I don't think he has any sort argument there. None of

:14:50. > :14:59.his team-mates joined in. The under-pressure Hungarian keeper

:15:00. > :15:04.again. What an end to an intriguing first

:15:05. > :15:08.half at St James' Park. It's ended as it started with Exeter in front,

:15:09. > :15:14.first time round they weren't in front for long. Tom Nichols scored

:15:15. > :15:24.in the ninth minute. Jerome Sinclair equalised. What an end to the half.

:15:25. > :15:30.Lee Holmes. STUDIO: That was all right, wasn't

:15:31. > :15:34.it? What an exciting first half. Exeter have given themselves a real

:15:35. > :15:37.chance. Absolutely fantastic first 45 minutes of cup football. I was

:15:38. > :15:41.just about to say at halftime, if they hadn't have scored, that will

:15:42. > :15:44.they regret missing the two big chances they had. They've done

:15:45. > :15:47.everything right in that first half. Showed great passion for it. The

:15:48. > :15:51.crowds up for it. It's been a brilliant 45 minutes. Quite an

:15:52. > :15:55.initiation for some of these young Liverpool players. I think so. They

:15:56. > :15:59.would have been pressed a lot more, I thought. They have had a lot of

:16:00. > :16:05.space to play in. 60% possession in the first half. They've only had two

:16:06. > :16:08.shots on target. They're not really doing too much to trouble Exeter,

:16:09. > :16:13.for me. We highlighted the importance of crosses before the

:16:14. > :16:17.game. Blimey, if ever there was evidence that suggested that was

:16:18. > :16:20.right, this was it. . We also highlighted that Liverpool have to

:16:21. > :16:26.put crosses into the box. That ball has to go in there, as we said

:16:27. > :16:30.before, it doesn't go in and it turns into nothing. Look at the

:16:31. > :16:40.difference between Liverpool and Exeter. Right land side, almost

:16:41. > :16:45.identical position. Good ball in and that is one hell of a finish, it

:16:46. > :16:53.really is to slot that into the corner, it's ewe Paddy Ashdown. Run

:16:54. > :16:56.-- it's superb. The manager said to me, they're going to get the ball

:16:57. > :17:00.into the box because Liverpool has problems. That show that's. Good

:17:01. > :17:04.management. They didn't hold the lead for long, three-and-a-half

:17:05. > :17:08.minutes. It was one of those, they must have still been on a bit of a

:17:09. > :17:12.high. It was a mistake. They have to clear it there. To be fair,

:17:13. > :17:15.Sinclair's taken it well. He's reacted quickly. You look at the

:17:16. > :17:21.centre half, I think Brown, that's got to go. There it is, just go,

:17:22. > :17:26.clear your lines. You get punished. Sinclair's done well to react has

:17:27. > :17:31.edid to punish them. -- as he did to punish them. One player has to take

:17:32. > :17:35.responsibility and get rid of it. Don't mess around in the 18-yard

:17:36. > :17:40.box. They had a couple of chances, Exeter. What about this. It's an

:17:41. > :17:44.unusual goal. It's gone pretty much straight in from a corner. We

:17:45. > :17:48.highlighted the fact that the keeper might be weak at crosses. It's a

:17:49. > :17:52.good ball in, but it's a massive mistake from the goalkeeper. I know

:17:53. > :17:58.he's under pressure. He's not putting him under too much pressure.

:17:59. > :18:02.It's a massive error. Big mistake. We highlighted balls into the box

:18:03. > :18:04.because whether it's him or Mignolet, they have problems dealing

:18:05. > :18:08.with them. This is what Exeter should be doing. They should put

:18:09. > :18:14.more balls over the top to Nichols to run in the back of Enrique. But

:18:15. > :18:19.that is brilliant play from the Exeter squad and manager. They've

:18:20. > :18:22.looked at Liverpool's weaknesses. You can tell, at every opportunity

:18:23. > :18:26.that's what they're doing, putting balls into the box. Liverpool cannot

:18:27. > :18:31.defend them. We have one or two more examples of exactly that coming up

:18:32. > :18:34.now. This was a really good

:18:35. > :18:43.opportunities. Oh, what a chance, yeah. We're sat here thinking this

:18:44. > :18:46.is it. He's onto it quickly, but anywhere else on the pitch, if

:18:47. > :18:49.that's a pass in the middle of the park, afterwards the referee goes

:18:50. > :18:53.back to that. It's the follow through, though. He gets the ball.

:18:54. > :18:57.But I hear what you're saying, but that could be a foul. But I think

:18:58. > :19:05.he's had the chance to hit the shot. I don't think it matters. It's

:19:06. > :19:11.irrelevant. If that's in the mid. Park, the -- Middle of the park, the

:19:12. > :19:15.referee pulls that back. Ribeiro header as well was close. That was a

:19:16. > :19:20.super cross. Super cross. When this gets laid out to him, he's just fed

:19:21. > :19:24.that in. Look at this. Beautiful. I think it's come down low for

:19:25. > :19:28.Ribeiro. He's trying to get into the goalkeeper's post there. He's

:19:29. > :19:33.stooping down for it. All he has to do there is get anything on target

:19:34. > :19:37.there. Anything on target for this goalkeeper you're going to cause him

:19:38. > :19:42.problems. He's very nervy. That is another great chance. We're

:19:43. > :19:47.thinking, put those chances away. That goal was so important as well.

:19:48. > :19:51.Liverpool we know Klopp likes to play a high-pressing game, get his

:19:52. > :19:54.players attacking, how do you play against that? One of the ways is

:19:55. > :19:59.because they commit so many men forward into the high press, you can

:20:00. > :20:02.see both the forwards go there, Sinclair, Benteke goes. This is how

:20:03. > :20:06.you get round it, or one of the reasons, kick it long. Look how many

:20:07. > :20:09.players are out of the game. The two forwards, four midfielders are out

:20:10. > :20:13.of the game. They can't get back. All a sudden, because of one long

:20:14. > :20:18.pass, you're now into the Liverpool final third and you're getting a

:20:19. > :20:22.ball into the box. It's brilliant play also from Exeter. Are you

:20:23. > :20:25.advocating long-ball football? No, I'm not. You don't have to do that

:20:26. > :20:30.all the time. This is one of the ways. No, don't say that. Yes, we

:20:31. > :20:33.are advocating it in this particular game against this particular

:20:34. > :20:36.Liverpool side. They're not just a long ball team, Exeter. They can

:20:37. > :20:40.play football. It's a difficult pitch to do it on. That's one of the

:20:41. > :20:45.options how to get round the press. It's all to play for. Our next live

:20:46. > :20:49.FA Cup football comes on Sunday: two of the Premier League's top four go

:20:50. > :20:54.head to head and Spurs take on Leicester. It's a repeat of the 1961

:20:55. > :20:58.final which featured a young Welshman, who would go on to become

:20:59. > :21:04.a Tottenham legend. Gareth Bale they call him the Welsh

:21:05. > :21:10.wizard, he is the Welsh wizard, but I am the original.

:21:11. > :21:15.COMMENTATOR: Within a minute of time Cliff Jones got the goal. To play at

:21:16. > :21:19.Wembley is every young kid's dream as a footballer, certainly was in my

:21:20. > :21:27.time. We were at Wembley. That was huge. ARCHIVE: There's a magic all

:21:28. > :21:30.its own about The Cup Final. For in this match at Wembley defended the

:21:31. > :21:37.double. Could Spurs become the first team in a century to win both league

:21:38. > :21:47.and cup. Leicester City on the left in frack suits and league -- track

:21:48. > :21:54.suits and league champions. N Gordon banks in goal and Frank McLintock.

:21:55. > :22:00.It's a great leveller, the FA Cup. It's on the day. On the day we were

:22:01. > :22:04.the better team. To everyone's display Leicester's right back was

:22:05. > :22:11.on the ground writhing in pain. They both went in for a tackle. Sharmers

:22:12. > :22:16.came out worse. Of course he stayed on the pitch. There were no

:22:17. > :22:20.substitutes in them days. He passed to Jones, a goal. Every schoolboy's

:22:21. > :22:28.dream to score in a Wembley Cup Final. Here was this young Welsh lad

:22:29. > :22:34.doing it. The linesman had his flag up and offside. That was the end of

:22:35. > :22:40.my dream. Bob was in the penalty box, he was lethal. Bobby Smith

:22:41. > :22:48.seized his chance. Goal! For Spurs that goal was just what the doctor

:22:49. > :22:53.ordered. It was a great header for Terry Dyson, a player who scored

:22:54. > :22:56.important goals. The proudest footballer on earth as he ran up to

:22:57. > :23:00.the Royal Box to receive the cup from the Duchess of Kent. Spurs had

:23:01. > :23:07.won the double. When we started going on the tour down Tottenham

:23:08. > :23:11.high road, well, it was just, amazing everywhere we went, well

:23:12. > :23:18.hundreds of thousands of people along the Tottenham high road. I'll

:23:19. > :23:22.never forget it, just amazing. It was just something which I dreamt

:23:23. > :23:27.about and now I've achieved it, and hey, how good is that? It's really

:23:28. > :23:31.good, Cliff. Lovely how the players in those days ran up the steps at

:23:32. > :23:37.the end. Great energy. Great memories too. We're live at

:23:38. > :23:42.White Hart Lane on Sunday: If you want your own taste of FA Cup

:23:43. > :23:48.action, sign up for this. He can play. So can she. He can't, though.

:23:49. > :23:53.He can definitely play. Not him, though. The FA people's cup is a

:23:54. > :23:57.five-a-side tournament from BBC get inspired in the FA. It's only open

:23:58. > :24:01.to amateur players, so the pros won't win it. You might. For more

:24:02. > :24:06.info and free entry go to the get inspired website.. Closing date is

:24:07. > :24:10.next Friday at midnight. We could do our own team. Should be OK for

:24:11. > :24:16.goals, not sure about the defending. Perhaps Dan Walker can play at the

:24:17. > :24:22.back. Nah! Who've you got for us? You're harsh. Two delighted with the

:24:23. > :24:29.football here, Julian Tag the director here and A already

:24:30. > :24:34.Sharlaland. How are you feeling now? I'm more nervous now. Because of the

:24:35. > :24:40.anticipation of the second half. Buzzing, unbelievable. We saw a shot

:24:41. > :24:45.of you watching in the director's box alongside Greg Dyke, was the

:24:46. > :24:48.view up there as good? Fantastic list tong them singing and the

:24:49. > :24:52.atmosphere. It's a great view up there. Watching what we've been

:24:53. > :24:56.watching has been fun to watch. And is it hard for you not to get

:24:57. > :25:00.emotional on an occasion like this. You've been there through the tough

:25:01. > :25:07.times at this club. As a 12-year-old you were a ball boy right here. Good

:25:08. > :25:09.research! Saw Manchester United play here with Best and Charlton. That's

:25:10. > :25:14.where the love of the club came from. I've been here on and off ever

:25:15. > :25:18.since. To watch this this evening, the work that's gone on to put this

:25:19. > :25:21.on and to give such a good account of ourselves this evening, that is

:25:22. > :25:24.emotional, you're right. It's a cliche to talk about the atmosphere,

:25:25. > :25:28.but you've been in there and it was brilliant before the game, when you

:25:29. > :25:35.cord early on, it was great -- scored early on it was great and

:25:36. > :25:40.then to go 2-1 up. It's like a Hoosiers gig! Amazing. Yeah, me and

:25:41. > :25:47.my dad are loving it up there. In terms of your heart and your head,

:25:48. > :25:50.as a chairman do you want a draw. If I had a pound for every time

:25:51. > :25:53.somebody said that, I wouldn't need the draw. It would be lovely to get

:25:54. > :25:58.something out of the Graham. The intention ridge -- out of the game.

:25:59. > :26:02.The intention originally was to put on a good show for the club and the

:26:03. > :26:06.supporters on and off the pitch. If we get something out of it that's a

:26:07. > :26:10.bonus in every sense of the world - financially for the club, it would

:26:11. > :26:16.be a huge boost. You know in this game, you see Paul, when that goal

:26:17. > :26:21.goes in he doesn't get excited. I don't often jump up, at the end is

:26:22. > :26:26.time. You're happy at halftime? Very happy. This man is nervous. When you

:26:27. > :26:32.were dreaming last night, were you 2-1 at halftime? 3-1 at halftime.

:26:33. > :26:36.We're a bit below par. We're going to finish 4-1. Gentlemen, enjoy the

:26:37. > :26:40.second half. Thank you so much for talking to us. This is just the

:26:41. > :26:47.start of our FA Cup coverage this weekend. We go straight from here to

:26:48. > :26:50.Eastleigh for football focus. The whole show comes from the only

:26:51. > :26:56.non-league side left in the competition.

:26:57. > :27:00.26 games in total taking place tomorrow. Final score and match the

:27:01. > :27:05.day as well. There we are. We're back. Bringing you all the action on

:27:06. > :27:11.Sunday. That didn't work, did it? We're live from White Hart Lane.

:27:12. > :27:18.It's Spurs against Leicester, 3. 35 on BBC One. Five games in total on

:27:19. > :27:21.Sunday. Match of the Day 10. 30, 11. 40pm if you're in Scotland. The draw

:27:22. > :27:27.for the Fourth Round takes place during the One Show from 7pm on BBC

:27:28. > :27:32.One. Certainly not map of the day that, was it?

:27:33. > :27:40.No, it certainly wasn't. I was impressed the way Dan hit his mark

:27:41. > :27:43.there. The little Blue Squre there. Jurgen Klopp at halftime is going to

:27:44. > :27:48.be concerned. What should he do? First, he's got to tell his full

:27:49. > :27:53.backs to get closer to both wingers, stop that ball coming into the box.

:27:54. > :27:58.Then, they might have a chance of getting back into this game. From

:27:59. > :28:02.Exeter's point of view more of the same. If they ever wanted any

:28:03. > :28:05.confidence and belief it know that they can get something out of this

:28:06. > :28:10.game, then look at that 45 minutes and think they've got one hell of a

:28:11. > :28:16.chance. He's an animated soul. He is. He's always smiling but you tend

:28:17. > :28:22.to think there's a grimmace underneath all of that. There is at

:28:23. > :28:26.the moment. Absolutely. His team's got their work cut out. The Exeter

:28:27. > :28:29.boys know they have a good chance. It's been a fantastic game. I'm

:28:30. > :28:32.loving it. The Liverpool team already out there. I mean Exeter

:28:33. > :28:38.perhaps not going to come out at all. There he is, Tisdale. He'll be

:28:39. > :28:45.very happy. I wonder whether Klopp as been in there and sent them out

:28:46. > :28:49.early because he is so angry. It will be hard for him to say too much

:28:50. > :28:52.because as we know, there's a lot of young, inexperienced boys out there.

:28:53. > :28:59.So this is a great learning curve for them. If they can pick it up

:29:00. > :29:03.quickly, get a grasp of it, have a feel for first-team football, they

:29:04. > :29:09.can only improve their performance not only here tonight but for the

:29:10. > :29:13.future also. We saw Ade there who said definitely either a draw or a

:29:14. > :29:16.win. He's got half a chance. The longer they can keep it like this -

:29:17. > :29:21.we're saying that, it could have been 3-#1, easily, if they can get

:29:22. > :29:26.it to the last couple of minutes and they're still 2-1, even if Liverpool

:29:27. > :29:29.score, they can't lose. I think the one of the positives for Liverpool

:29:30. > :29:33.is Kent in the first half. He got the ball. He was pacy. He ran at

:29:34. > :29:38.players, tried to get the ball in the box. Showed great enthusiasm. He

:29:39. > :29:42.was a plus point in the first half. Danny Murphy pointing out the fact

:29:43. > :29:46.that Liverpool were getting joy down the flanks because Exeter were

:29:47. > :29:50.playing so narrow. Will he adjust something there, Tisdale? I think

:29:51. > :29:54.he's got to. They're not getting on the ball as much as they could do.

:29:55. > :29:57.Like when you consider Liverpool had 60% possession in the first half, a

:29:58. > :30:04.lot of that has to do with the fact that the full backs had so much

:30:05. > :30:07.possession. They've had the ball in those positions but not done a lot

:30:08. > :30:11.with it. The crowd are loving this and so are we. Hope you are too.

:30:12. > :30:15.Let's rejoin Danny Murphy and guy plob mob.

:30:16. > :30:19.-- Guy Mowbray. Thanks, Gary. Exeter City finally

:30:20. > :30:27.back out for the restart. Liverpool players out for quite a while. It's

:30:28. > :30:30.rude to keep your guests waiting. Exeter plan on carrying on being not

:30:31. > :30:34.particularly welcoming for the next 45 minutes. Paul Tisdale with a

:30:35. > :30:41.lovely turn of phrase in the week leading up to this game, "a high

:30:42. > :30:45.quality problem". Haven't his team given Liverpool one. Liverpool came

:30:46. > :30:48.out early. I've been thrown out of dressing rooms early with the lads

:30:49. > :30:52.to get out there and sort yourselves out. You run around and get

:30:53. > :30:58.yourselves going. They're standing chatting. Any way.

:30:59. > :31:04.Can't afford to stand around now with Exeter leading by 2-1. Just to

:31:05. > :31:08.put a little bit of thought on what that might mean tonight. If they

:31:09. > :31:12.keep it that way, they haven't reached the Fourth Round since the

:31:13. > :31:16.1980/81 season. In that Fourth Round back then, that was also the last

:31:17. > :31:22.time they beat a side from the top division. It was Gary Lineker's

:31:23. > :31:30.Leicester. Although Mr Lineker didn't play. Oh, that's why! The

:31:31. > :31:33.lads in the studios made a good point. Liverpool had good

:31:34. > :31:43.possession, but they've got to get the ball in the box more. It was

:31:44. > :31:54.cleared by Ilori who has looked short of match practice. Noble picks

:31:55. > :31:59.it up for the Grecians. Out of play. Often Teixeira. He reacts angrily to

:32:00. > :32:01.the assistant Dave Bryan. It was the right decision, though. Here is

:32:02. > :32:11.Enrique, away. Liverpool have never lost to fourth

:32:12. > :32:26.tier opposition in this competition. Benteke helped it on. It wasn't

:32:27. > :32:31.close to Sinclair. Seemingly deflected. It looked as though

:32:32. > :32:38.Olejnik thought it was deflected and it carried over the line. A bit more

:32:39. > :32:47.care from Benteke if the tour. It seems to come off him. -- in the

:32:48. > :32:53.touch. It's OK, the whole ball has to be over.

:32:54. > :33:11.It is flicked out of play for an Exeter throw. Positive restart by

:33:12. > :33:21.the home team. Yes, on the front foot. Playing in their half.

:33:22. > :33:25.Sensible play. Teixeira. Liverpool defenders getting in each other's

:33:26. > :33:43.way. It is finally Jose Enrique who blocked the shot.

:33:44. > :33:58.Noble holds off Sinclair. Stewart Atwell has a long look and decides

:33:59. > :34:05.that he was tripped. He well at it will be interesting either be but he

:34:06. > :34:08.went down late. Teixeira was being held unfairly but he was strong

:34:09. > :34:20.enough to withstand that from Alex and. Here is Troy Brown again. --

:34:21. > :34:25.from Alex Nicholls. Back to Olejnik. He has do hurry a little. -- has to

:34:26. > :34:39.hurry. Let's have a look at and to

:34:40. > :34:46.Christian Ribeiro. As he breaks into the box. He slips. He takes a step

:34:47. > :34:56.and slips. He tripped himself up, actually. He did throw his as if he

:34:57. > :35:03.had been fouled to convince the referee. It was good refereeing. Is

:35:04. > :35:08.it a dive? Is it one of those things that sometimes you don't know you

:35:09. > :35:13.have tripped yourself. It's not a dive, he tripped itself and he slips

:35:14. > :35:18.as well as his foot goes down. It's not a diet, it's a fall. He should

:35:19. > :35:30.be embarrassed to appeal. It certainly wasn't a dive. -- it's not

:35:31. > :35:35.a dive, it's a fall. Good run by Smith and good control by Teixeira.

:35:36. > :35:41.Had to go in again, Ms chance to cross. Now it comes in from Randall.

:35:42. > :35:52.Is it jumping. Holmes has time to bring it down. -- it is Smith

:35:53. > :35:57.jumping. There is no need for intricacy, just a good ball into the

:35:58. > :36:03.box to give Benteke a chance. Five minutes played in the second half.

:36:04. > :36:05.Glancing up to the top left of your screen will tell you the story.

:36:06. > :36:16.Exeter 2-1 Liverpool. Brannagan puts the ball in. Denied.

:36:17. > :36:20.What is saved by Olejnik. It looked for all the world as though Benteke

:36:21. > :36:24.was levelling it for Liverpool. I don't know how much we can talk

:36:25. > :36:31.about crosses tonight, great play by Brannagan. Unbelievable save.

:36:32. > :36:36.Remarkable. It is not rocket science, when you have someone as

:36:37. > :36:41.good in the air as Benteke, just get some balls in the box and give them

:36:42. > :36:50.a chance. The corner goes away from goal. Clipped in. There was a slip

:36:51. > :36:55.and Olejnik has pounced on the ball, fired up by the wonder. Full. He was

:36:56. > :37:01.not just in the way, he had the strength in his arms to push it over

:37:02. > :37:09.the bar. Superb save. It was a good header by Benteke and a good cross.

:37:10. > :37:14.Good play all round. The exit Quebec selling in goal. Nichols plays it

:37:15. > :37:31.across. -- the Exeter goalkeeper. It is kept in. Only to give the ball

:37:32. > :37:36.to Craig Woodman. Exeter claim he was blocked. There was nothing in

:37:37. > :37:53.that stop maybe he was, but not unfairly. -- there was nothing in

:37:54. > :37:58.that. Benteke. Plays it through toward Sinclair who is offside. He

:37:59. > :38:06.did just win the race with Brown but it doesn't matter. I have been

:38:07. > :38:09.watching Benteke for seven minutes and every time Liverpool get good

:38:10. > :38:15.possession he makes runs and he is showing for the ball and he tries to

:38:16. > :38:18.get in behind, they have to get the ball to him more because he is the

:38:19. > :38:25.man who will get them back into it for sure. One of Exeter's best-known

:38:26. > :38:36.players, Clinton Morrison, 36 years old. He played for Ireland a fair

:38:37. > :38:42.few times. I remember him scoring against Liverpool in the League Cup

:38:43. > :38:46.semifinal many moons ago. At Selhurst Park. He came to our place

:38:47. > :38:54.at Anfield and we stuck five past them. You scored a couple? I did,

:38:55. > :38:58.actually. I did not want to bring it up! CHUCKLES

:38:59. > :39:02.Clinton Morrison also scored his first Premier League goals for

:39:03. > :39:08.Birmingham against Liverpool. You scored in that game as well. You

:39:09. > :39:13.have a better memory than I. Played by Woodman.

:39:14. > :39:26.A bit of attack goal between Ilori and Reid. A few words from Tiago

:39:27. > :39:37.Ilori. The referee will now have words with him.

:39:38. > :39:46.Did Reid have to throw him over the hoardings? Perhaps not. No. No, he

:39:47. > :40:07.didn't. The intention is there and that is

:40:08. > :40:10.the main thing. He could have put it in ten yards before because Benteke

:40:11. > :40:15.made a good run again. The problem is that when you fast with the ball

:40:16. > :40:17.it is difficult to produce good quality. He needed to slow down a

:40:18. > :40:43.little bit. Olejnik away. Played out. The mistake by Alex

:40:44. > :40:47.Nicholls. Well, here is the moment that gave Exeter the lead for the

:40:48. > :40:56.second time in the game. Horrendous error. No excuses. You have got to

:40:57. > :41:00.do better. I'm surprised there was no man on the post. I do seem to say

:41:01. > :41:05.that a lot these days when I'm watching football. But a man on the

:41:06. > :41:13.back post and it would not go in. Good work by Randall. Another good

:41:14. > :41:18.ball, though, by Brannagan. Out for an Exeter throwing. It increases the

:41:19. > :41:22.spotlight on Bogdan, there have been questions about whether he is the

:41:23. > :41:28.right man to stand by for Simon Mignolet if he's injured. He's not

:41:29. > :41:31.at the moment. Mitty is certainly needs better competition to push him

:41:32. > :41:37.more because he has certainly not been good enough. There are

:41:38. > :41:40.questions about him. Huge questions. I would be amazed if Liverpool don't

:41:41. > :41:44.have a new keeper by the start of next season to be honest. It goes

:41:45. > :41:56.through to Bogdan. Ten minutes played in the second

:41:57. > :42:00.half, make that 11, and still no difference in terms of Liverpool

:42:01. > :42:07.comeback this time. Smith keeps it in but gives it to Nichols. That's a

:42:08. > :42:10.nice touch by Jamie we eat. Can he feed Tom Nichols? Not quite. Exeter,

:42:11. > :42:31.get. -- the come again. Reid battles a little too firmly.

:42:32. > :42:37.That will be a Liverpool free kick. That is the ball over the top that

:42:38. > :42:41.we talked about in the first half. Enrique using the pace of the

:42:42. > :42:49.strikers. There is a Liverpool change. The squad number average is

:42:50. > :42:56.going up, Ryan Kent comes off, the 19-year-old debutant, and on comes

:42:57. > :42:59.the 18-year-old Spaniard who signed for Liverpool from Valencia and made

:43:00. > :43:09.his debut at Bilbao in the Europa League. A little bit surprised not

:43:10. > :43:15.to see Adam Lallana at this point. There is Ilori. Tries to get the

:43:16. > :43:25.ball away from Alex Nicholls unsuccessfully. Into Tom Nichols.

:43:26. > :43:33.That is coolly played by Woodman. Nicely worked by Exeter. In towards

:43:34. > :43:39.Ribeiro. Brannagan was there. Ribeiro was high above him. That is

:43:40. > :43:43.two head as he has put wide. It's a great ball in and what a leap that

:43:44. > :43:52.is. He out jumps Brad Smith at the back post. Two caps for Wales,

:43:53. > :43:58.Christian Ribeiro. He has a Portuguese dad. Talk of him going to

:43:59. > :44:09.the Championship possibly, Birmingham City keen. He is doing

:44:10. > :44:12.himself no harm. Liverpool have had more attempts and one more on target

:44:13. > :44:14.but there is only one statistic that matters and it is at the top of your

:44:15. > :44:29.screen. Sinclair was a little late on

:44:30. > :44:34.Tillson. Teixeira has lost it. Stuart again.

:44:35. > :44:41.It looks as though there is a problem for David Noble who is

:44:42. > :44:45.hobbling a little. He has shown some really classy touches. That is

:44:46. > :44:56.Woodman. Teixeira can't collect it. Liverpool

:44:57. > :45:03.just haven't controlled it well since half-time. No, Exeter have

:45:04. > :45:08.started better. That has clipped his heels when he threatened to get

:45:09. > :45:24.away. There is the uncertainty of the new back four.

:45:25. > :45:35.That will go out. Paul Tisdale is I think contemplating a change. David

:45:36. > :45:41.Noble's race is run. I would not take him off. He has quality and

:45:42. > :45:45.he's calm on the ball and he will keep possession. I don't know about

:45:46. > :45:49.his fitness levels but he still looks fine and his quality on the

:45:50. > :45:58.ball is evident. Tom Nichols with a run into the box. Lee Holmes has won

:45:59. > :46:03.the corner for Exeter. And Exeter are on top in terms of the current

:46:04. > :46:15.state of the game and the scoreline right now. Half an hour to go, 2-1

:46:16. > :46:20.down, Exeter. I'm amazed he hasn't brought an substitutes. What is the

:46:21. > :46:30.point of bringing Adam Lallana? At least this one should not curl

:46:31. > :46:41.straight in. But goes Pedro Chirivella. -- and he goes.

:46:42. > :46:52.Woodman is still limping a little. Trying to get into his stride now.

:46:53. > :47:03.Pedro Chirivella. Alex Nicholls took it and went. Tom Nichols. He is a

:47:04. > :47:10.lively, lively striker. It is Noble coming off. He balloons that one

:47:11. > :47:18.over. A little bobble. We will give him the benefit of the doubtful

:47:19. > :47:21.Noble started a game for the first time since November after his

:47:22. > :47:28.hamstring problem. -- give him the benefit of the doubt. He hasn't

:47:29. > :47:33.played for a while, that has been a really good performance. He can be

:47:34. > :47:41.really pleased with himself. He is a good footballer, calm on the ball.

:47:42. > :47:43.It is edges of his career, obviously, but a really nice

:47:44. > :47:49.footballer and a good golfer as well, actually. Matt Oakley is 38,

:47:50. > :47:56.the sort of age when most footballers might turn to golf! Are

:47:57. > :48:05.you trying to say something? Started at Southampton 13 years ago. The big

:48:06. > :48:13.nights are still here for him. Ilori gets it away. After a little bit of

:48:14. > :48:21.debate it has been given as an Exeter throw in. I expected Exeter

:48:22. > :48:28.to be on the back foot in the second half but it has not been the case at

:48:29. > :48:31.all. Is that the Exeter positive mindset but also Liverpool

:48:32. > :48:36.deficiencies? I would not say deficiency Matt is a clear lot of

:48:37. > :48:41.these lads have started a game for the first time and there is a

:48:42. > :48:47.nervous energy that comes with that. From him too? Yes. And Exeter, you

:48:48. > :48:58.can see their quality, that's it cup final. -- this is their cup final.

:48:59. > :49:02.He is getting to grips with him, outside the area. He was holding him

:49:03. > :49:08.off and finally could not any longer. It's not just it but it

:49:09. > :49:14.looks as though it might be a yellow card for Ilori. Will the referee go

:49:15. > :49:18.to his pocket? Maybe not. He gets his body in really well. There is

:49:19. > :49:22.not much in it to be honest, probably the right decision. A

:49:23. > :49:29.little bit sloppy, defending, by Ilori. Just to confirm there was no

:49:30. > :49:42.card although he did threaten to go to his pocket. He did not get the

:49:43. > :49:46.card out. They should get this on target and test the keeper, that's

:49:47. > :49:51.all you have to do. Can they get themselves a bit of a cushion? It

:49:52. > :49:57.flies just the top. It was always rising over the top. It was a

:49:58. > :50:03.confident attempt. He tried the Ronaldo technique a little bit,

:50:04. > :50:09.trying to get the dip. Using his instep. It does not come down

:50:10. > :50:19.enough. It was a correct this attempt. -- it was a courageous

:50:20. > :50:26.attempt. Obviously from a free kick rather than a ball across. There are

:50:27. > :50:29.so many different ways, people talk about the ball changing direction.

:50:30. > :50:34.Whichever way you hit a free kick you still need the quality and

:50:35. > :50:38.technical ability to get it over these big walls. And beat the

:50:39. > :50:49.keeper. Good effort. Exeter City substitution number two. Like David

:50:50. > :50:53.Noble, like him, Ribeiro has been struggling with injury. His first

:50:54. > :50:57.start since November and he played pretty well and might have scored

:50:58. > :51:04.with a couple of headers. Yes, he has played well. Aaron Davis has

:51:05. > :51:07.been at right back in his absence. Like him, he is a Wales

:51:08. > :51:17.international but just one substitute appearance ten years ago.

:51:18. > :51:26.Straightaway involved by taking the throw in. Benteke, down to Sinclair.

:51:27. > :51:27.Very close to it. Both very close to being offside and one or both of

:51:28. > :51:40.them were. He looks a bit like him, the one on

:51:41. > :51:46.the left! I'm glad you spoke because I had no words. Well, you are not

:51:47. > :51:59.used to seeing people that thin, are you?! Not in the mirror. That's what

:52:00. > :52:05.I meant! Aaron Davies just into the action. That would have been some

:52:06. > :52:15.first touch, wouldn't it? Tom Nichols, great feat.

:52:16. > :52:22.He cuts across it a little bit. We are getting towards three quarters

:52:23. > :52:31.of the game played and the way it has been played at the moment Exeter

:52:32. > :52:41.are controlling things. It is worrying already for Liverpool.

:52:42. > :52:53.Tillson plays it forward. This is Holmes. Randall away. A bit of

:52:54. > :53:02.hesitation from Pedro Chirivella. Holmes again. Randall again clears

:53:03. > :53:11.it. And the problem repeats. Not this time. Ilori is very tired. He

:53:12. > :53:18.was in the right back position there. It is too easy. You can't go

:53:19. > :53:25.past people that easily. It's a token gesture. You have to be able

:53:26. > :53:30.to take him on. He looks tired. He is playing like he's tired. They

:53:31. > :53:35.have got Lucas that they could bring on. We have seen him play

:53:36. > :53:41.centre-back in emergencies. We might have to see him there again in the

:53:42. > :53:52.next couple of weeks. Here is Brad Smith.

:53:53. > :53:58.Randall with a lunging tackle. And a better one from Holmes. Liverpool

:53:59. > :54:12.throw. Pedro Chirivella trying to cleverly

:54:13. > :54:22.clipped one into the edge of the box.

:54:23. > :54:40.There is plenty of time for Jose Enrique.

:54:41. > :55:26.Davis. He wants Jose Enrique to come to get that. Easily done.

:55:27. > :55:35.This is the longest spell of possession that Liverpool have had

:55:36. > :55:39.since half-time, and there it ends. That was OK. It's all right, you

:55:40. > :55:44.have to get back in the game is somehow. Just get some dirges and

:55:45. > :55:52.get on the end of the ball and stop the flow from Exeter. This is the

:55:53. > :55:58.first live action of the Emirates FA Cup third round. Don't forget we are

:55:59. > :56:13.live from White Hart Lane on Sunday, Spurs against Leicester on BBC One

:56:14. > :56:18.at 3:35pm. The draw will be live during the One Show. Will Exeter be

:56:19. > :56:23.in the draw? It is looking increasingly likely. Sinclair made

:56:24. > :56:33.his mark and enjoy doing it. Somebody else needs to now for the

:56:34. > :56:40.ruble. Maybe Sheyi Ojo Joe. Making his comeback. Straightaway he is

:56:41. > :56:50.into it. -- now for Liverpool. Maybe Sheyi Ojo. I'm trying to think of a

:56:51. > :56:55.scenario where he would use Lallana or Lucas. I thought they would be on

:56:56. > :57:00.the bench for if they were losing with half an hour to go. If you're

:57:01. > :57:06.not going to use Adam Lallana when you are losing the game, why bring

:57:07. > :57:11.him? Surely the supporters will be thinking that. If was Adam Lallana I

:57:12. > :57:16.would be fuming. He looks as though he is thinking along those lines. He

:57:17. > :57:21.must be thinking, why not give me a rest? If you are not bringing me on

:57:22. > :57:25.when my job is to create an score, why bring me? I would love someone

:57:26. > :57:36.to ask Jurgen Klopp after the game if that is the case. -- to create

:57:37. > :57:40.and score. A slight test for Olejnik. He does the safety first

:57:41. > :57:47.thing. What a save it was from Benteke. That is mis-controlled by

:57:48. > :57:55.Pedro Chirivella. He is struggling to get into the game. That is Jose

:57:56. > :57:58.Enrique. He is looking for Benteke. He has had precious little chance to

:57:59. > :58:05.get involved for quite some time now. A gentle jog for Adam Lallana.

:58:06. > :58:18.About time. Stewart. There is loads of room for

:58:19. > :58:39.Randall. Four white shirts in the box.

:58:40. > :58:52.There was a slip from Davies. Smith has equalised. Liverpool are level

:58:53. > :58:56.for the second time in the match. And for the second time it was a

:58:57. > :59:00.case of Exeter failing to clear. I think the slip from Aaron Davies

:59:01. > :59:06.played a part as well. Brad Smith hit and found the target to the mild

:59:07. > :59:10.satisfaction of his manager. Yes, well, it has come a little bit

:59:11. > :59:15.against the run of play but what a finish it was from the young lad. It

:59:16. > :59:20.is a slip here. Not the best clearance but didn't he take it

:59:21. > :59:24.well. Brad Smith, we talked about his left foot earlier in the first

:59:25. > :59:28.half and it's a super finish. Instinctive finish from the

:59:29. > :59:35.full-back. He gets Liverpool back into the game. It was instinctive

:59:36. > :59:46.from the left-back. The young Australian international. I think,

:59:47. > :59:54.Danny Murphy, you are absolutely right. Not completely but largely

:59:55. > :00:00.against the run of play. Liverpool have hardly had a chance in the

:00:01. > :00:04.second half. It has been all Exeter. They can count themselves a touch

:00:05. > :00:07.fortunate but what that should do now is give them the confidence in

:00:08. > :00:14.the last 15 minutes to try to win the game. Smith plays it back to

:00:15. > :00:22.Ilori. I see what you mean. They are now starting to move. I wonder if

:00:23. > :00:25.Exeter will seize upon that. Liverpool have a bit more energy in

:00:26. > :00:33.their legs which is perhaps not surprising having equalised.

:00:34. > :01:06.Moore-Taylor, his unfortunate clearance went straight to Smith.

:01:07. > :01:14.Got to wonder whether Steffan Stuart will go the distance. -- Kevin

:01:15. > :01:19.Stewart will go the distance. Has hardly played since September.

:01:20. > :01:26.This is the finish again. It really is a super finish. It's a striker's

:01:27. > :01:35.finish. Carries on his run in the box. Could

:01:36. > :01:37.be a tad critical of the clearance maybe, put your foot through it a

:01:38. > :02:13.bit more. Bogdan will be breathing easier than

:02:14. > :02:18.halftime The Exeter dugout have got to spot that Ilori can't move. Got

:02:19. > :02:22.to play behind him more often. Often.ive would imagine they'll be

:02:23. > :02:28.taking him off shortly. He just can't move. I will draw your

:02:29. > :02:35.attention to the fact that Liverpool with making their third change. It's

:02:36. > :02:39.19-year-old Joe Maguire who is the latest Liverpool debutantes. It is

:02:40. > :02:50.Thiago Ilori who's had to make way. He had to. He's a liability. He

:02:51. > :02:55.couldn't move. A Manchester lad. Three Manchester

:02:56. > :02:56.lads in the side. He's been on Liverpool's books since he was nine.

:02:57. > :03:31.That's all right then! Ojo fouled. You could hear the

:03:32. > :03:38.Liverpool fans behind that goal appealing. Troy Brown penalised. He

:03:39. > :03:46.has a little kick at him there. That's the right decision.

:03:47. > :03:51.Can you hear the Liverpool fans now. From thinking about an enormous

:03:52. > :03:56.shock, they can now be thinking about winning it in the last 12

:03:57. > :03:58.minutes. Benteke will have to play the full 90. All substitutions

:03:59. > :04:08.played. Smith at the moment delivering

:04:09. > :04:28.Liverpool from upset. Quite a lot too high by Kevin

:04:29. > :04:33.Stewart. I think he'd given offside, the linesman. Decent ball in. Very

:04:34. > :04:44.close to Benteke getting on the end of it. What have we got left in an

:04:45. > :04:48.enthralling contest in Devon? Let's not forget that the action continues

:04:49. > :04:50.with football focus tomorrow from Eastleigh. I wonder what will

:04:51. > :04:56.happen. There We -- happen there. We have

:04:57. > :05:02.final score and then the highlights of a busy weekend on Saturday and

:05:03. > :05:05.Sunday nights on BBC One. If all the ties carry on like this,

:05:06. > :05:11.there'll be plenty of highlights to show. It's been a great game, so

:05:12. > :05:30.many terrific performances out there.

:05:31. > :05:38.Not a bad ball at all. Randall sweeps it out.

:05:39. > :05:43.Nichols looks that he had a quarter a yard from Jose Enrique. He did. He

:05:44. > :05:53.put a super ball in. No-one getting in there quick enough. A lot of

:05:54. > :05:59.tired legs out there on both sides. Tom Nichols has caught the eye, 22

:06:00. > :06:06.years of age. He's been with Exeter City since he was 11 years old. He

:06:07. > :06:10.will be playing at a higher level a lot sooner than Exeter fans will

:06:11. > :06:11.like, I can assure you of that. He's a talented lad and a real threat

:06:12. > :07:26.when he gets in front of goal. Ojo is bundled down. Liverpool

:07:27. > :07:29.appeal. Looks like a penalty, that. They haven't got one. They've got a

:07:30. > :07:45.free kick. Let's have a look at what happened.

:07:46. > :07:54.I have a feeling it's a penalty. I don't think it is. I'm not sure.

:07:55. > :07:59.Difficult one. Really difficult. Troy Brown looked as though he won

:08:00. > :08:03.the ball. I think he gets most right tonight.

:08:04. > :08:13.Done well, the referee. Good performance from him.

:08:14. > :08:21.Olejnik chose to punch. It wasn't a convincing punch. No, it was not.

:08:22. > :08:27.Enrique with his hand full with Tom Nichols.

:08:28. > :08:30.This is not over yet. It is still Exeter's night because you heard

:08:31. > :08:34.what their fans were saying before the match, draw or a win. A draw

:08:35. > :08:37.would feel like a win. Maybe not in the circumstances having led for so

:08:38. > :08:42.long. There's another substitution coming on. I don't know what he's

:08:43. > :08:45.going to do tactically. There must be something in his head thinking do

:08:46. > :08:49.I go with five at the back and five in midfield and keep what we've got

:08:50. > :08:52.and get to Anfield. Do we leave the two up top and try to get the

:08:53. > :09:01.winner? I know what I'd be tempted to do.

:09:02. > :09:12.Can you bring on another goalkeeper? He can, but he can't play in goal.

:09:13. > :09:17.Here is the third Exeter change. It's going to be Lee Holmes, the man

:09:18. > :09:21.who lit the tie up with his goal direct from a corner. He started the

:09:22. > :09:30.second half beautifully too. He's had a good game, another one. A man

:09:31. > :09:35.who was once a boy when he started in the FA Cup. He was at the time

:09:36. > :09:45.the youngest prayer in the FA Cup proper at Derby at 15. He has his

:09:46. > :09:50.place taken by Joel Grant. He scored three goals since signing for Exeter

:09:51. > :09:56.at the summer, all away from home. Now would be a very opportune time

:09:57. > :10:00.to start scoring at home. The ideal scenario is a draw. You could

:10:01. > :10:02.theoretically beat Liverpool and get a team from a lower leagues in the

:10:03. > :11:03.next round. Sheyi Ojo has looked lively. He's

:11:04. > :11:13.done well since he's come on. He's made a difference.

:11:14. > :11:18.Bogdan hurls the ball out because Brad Smith needs treatment here.

:11:19. > :11:23.Liverpool have played all their substitution cards. Here we go

:11:24. > :11:27.again, injuries for Liverpool. This is what happened at Stoke on Tuesday

:11:28. > :11:34.with Kolo Toure finishing the game when he ought not to have done.

:11:35. > :11:40.Struggling with a hamstring, which meant that he missed tonight's game.

:11:41. > :11:47.Can Brad Smith carry on till the end now? Back to his feet at least, as

:11:48. > :11:53.those fans look on nervously. He seems like a tough lad to me.

:11:54. > :11:57.Australians normally are. From New South Wales. Came over here

:11:58. > :12:09.at 14. He's scored a most important goal

:12:10. > :12:26.for Liverpool tonight. Huge goal, huge.

:12:27. > :12:31.On a heavy pitch, legs are tiring on both sides. They are. Credit

:12:32. > :12:35.deserves to be given to the young lads at Liverpool and Exeter,

:12:36. > :12:46.because they've certainly all put it in, all contributed. A wonderful

:12:47. > :12:51.evening's football. Jose Enrique seems to have had the

:12:52. > :12:59.washing powder out on his shirt. It's whiter than anybody else's.

:13:00. > :13:05.You would think with all the fixtures that Liverpool have

:13:06. > :13:11.mounting this month, a replay would be all they need.

:13:12. > :13:17.Well even more so that you put someone like Lallana on to give the

:13:18. > :13:21.magic to win the game. It's baffling to me at 2-1 down for so long that

:13:22. > :13:27.he didn't bring him on. Then at 2-2 he didn't bring him on then because

:13:28. > :13:31.he had already made the substitutions. I suppose he trusts

:13:32. > :13:38.the young lads. He'll say that. Especially if they get a result.

:13:39. > :13:44.Whether it's a replay or a win. He can go home reasonably happy knowing

:13:45. > :13:47.that they're still in the cup. These young Liverpool players might

:13:48. > :13:51.well get a run out in front of the cop, too. Yes, some of them for

:13:52. > :13:58.sure. Still time for either side to find a

:13:59. > :14:05.winner, though the game has broken down somewhat.

:14:06. > :14:09.For what it might bring to this club, I'd like to see Exeter get

:14:10. > :14:14.their day at Anfield. I think they deserve it. I think the financial

:14:15. > :14:24.rewards it would bring would be beneficial, hugely beneficial to

:14:25. > :14:28.everybody at the club. They will make ?144,000 from this game being

:14:29. > :14:31.televised live. If you get through the third round, it's almost half

:14:32. > :14:35.that again. That sort of money at this level of

:14:36. > :14:38.the game makes a massive difference. 11 years ago those two games against

:14:39. > :14:46.Manchester United did effectively save the club from disappearing all

:14:47. > :14:54.together. It's not just about the money, though. The chance for these

:14:55. > :15:02.lads to go to Anfield and play at such a wonderful stadium. Brad Smith

:15:03. > :15:05.again. Fancied his luck. Why not. I like him. I like his confidence.

:15:06. > :15:14.First time I saw him play, I liked him. He's got a tenacity about his

:15:15. > :15:17.play. He has a real confidence in the way he goes forward. He tries to

:15:18. > :15:21.make things happen. I like him a lot. He's another one who nearly got

:15:22. > :15:23.away. He only resigned for the club in November after failing to agree a

:15:24. > :15:45.deal last summer. Really? Does Anfield beckon for the League

:15:46. > :15:55.Two team? Or is there still a chance of going straight into the Fourth

:15:56. > :16:08.Round on their own? They've got four minutes minimum. Olejnik saw that

:16:09. > :16:18.developing. Sheyi Ojo set off like a train.

:16:19. > :16:20.Spotted the danger well there. The goalkeeper has had a good evening as

:16:21. > :16:41.well. Brilliant from Brannagan, absolutely

:16:42. > :16:44.superb. Tracked the run, last minute, exactly what you want your

:16:45. > :16:58.midfielder to do. Exeter corner.

:16:59. > :17:03.This is going to sounds ridiculous, I'm an Exeter player, if we win this

:17:04. > :17:07.game, I miss out on the opportunity at playing at Anfield.

:17:08. > :17:13.I don't think any of them are thinking that. No, I know they're

:17:14. > :17:17.not. It's just me, isn't it? They're thinking Fourth Round. They're

:17:18. > :17:21.thinking headlines, the glory of beating one of the greatest names in

:17:22. > :17:36.the game. It will be one of the biggest shocks in FA Cup history.

:17:37. > :17:46.Fouled. Well, we have played nearly two minutes of injury time. Your

:17:47. > :17:50.nomination for the man of the match. An easy decision. I think Tom

:17:51. > :17:56.Nichols has been absolutely superb from minute one. He's shown quality.

:17:57. > :18:01.He's shown endeavour. He's been a real threat. I think he'll be

:18:02. > :18:05.playing at a higher level very soon. He's a super talent. He deserved his

:18:06. > :18:09.goal. Man of the match for me tonight. The man who scored the

:18:10. > :18:14.first goal of this season's FA Cup third round. Brad Smith has scored

:18:15. > :18:21.the latest but couldn't get through there. An Exeter free kick. One

:18:22. > :18:24.thing we won't expect from any Paul Tisdale team is for them to try and

:18:25. > :18:30.run down the clock. He has been quoted as saying in his ten years at

:18:31. > :18:35.the club he has never once uttered the words, "Take it to the corner."

:18:36. > :18:38.Well, that's a bit silly, if I'm honest, but each to their own. There

:18:39. > :18:44.are times when that definitely needs to happen.

:18:45. > :19:04.Exeter fans taking it to the end. Moore-Taylor clears it. It took an

:19:05. > :19:08.eternity for them to get it clear. You could sense the relief in the

:19:09. > :19:11.ground when he kicked it out of play.

:19:12. > :19:22.Can't be long now. Heading towards the last half minute

:19:23. > :19:23.or so. That's the minimum, isn't it. Somehow they sometimes find a bit

:19:24. > :20:02.extra sometimes. And it's finished at St James' Park,

:20:03. > :20:08.all square between the League Two team and the Premier League giants.

:20:09. > :20:12.11 years ago, Exeter took Manchester United toe a replay -- to a replay.

:20:13. > :20:16.The money made from the two ties kept the club in existence. Things

:20:17. > :20:22.aren't quite so draft thick time, but a trip to Anfield will feel like

:20:23. > :20:26.a lottery win to start the new year. For Liverpool, another game in this

:20:27. > :20:30.crowded January with so many players missing, it is far from ideal, but

:20:31. > :20:34.they have learned something about the future tonight. Jurgen Klopp's

:20:35. > :20:39.kids are all right. Exeter City 2, Liverpool 2.

:20:40. > :20:44.STUDIO: Not a bad start to the Emirates FA Cup third round weekend,

:20:45. > :20:49.a cracking cup tie and a night to remember in the West Country, what a

:20:50. > :20:53.fabulous effort by Exeter and a marvellous result. They've got

:20:54. > :20:58.themselves a replay at Anfield. They showed Great Endeavour and tactical

:20:59. > :21:02.nous against a Liverpool side 76 places above them in the league

:21:03. > :21:07.ladder and thoroughly deserved the replay. A brilliant 94, 95 minutes

:21:08. > :21:10.of football, whatever it was, from start to finish, it was

:21:11. > :21:13.entertaining. Credit to both sides, for Exeter, what a night for them.

:21:14. > :21:18.What a night for the chairman, for the football club. We all remember,

:21:19. > :21:23.we do any way, we're old enough to, 11 years ago what it did for them

:21:24. > :21:27.then when they drew Manchester United. Liverpool, the experience

:21:28. > :21:31.the kids will get from this game tonight, you can play under 21 games

:21:32. > :21:34.or you can play in League Two for whatever, but the experience will

:21:35. > :21:38.get from this will carry them on the rest of their careers. A great

:21:39. > :21:42.night. I come to you shortly. But we can hear from the man of the match,

:21:43. > :21:45.Tom Nichols is with Dan Walker. Yeah, thanks for that. The man who

:21:46. > :21:48.got the ball rolling tonight, Tom what a night. I know you wanted to

:21:49. > :21:52.beat Liverpool here tonight. You have the replay at Anfield. Talk us

:21:53. > :21:55.through the game The boys were brilliant. We thoroughly deserved

:21:56. > :22:00.the draw there. We didn't park the bus. We gave it a right go. We've

:22:01. > :22:03.got a trip to Anfield. That goal early on, was it exactly what you

:22:04. > :22:09.were planning, a beautiful ball in from the right. You guided it into

:22:10. > :22:12.the corner. I have been working with one of our coaches the day before,

:22:13. > :22:18.saying you have to run quicker into the box. I saw the ball go out wide,

:22:19. > :22:24.I got on the end of a great ball. Shame we couldn't hold on in the

:22:25. > :22:28.end. When they got back to 1-1, what was the feeling amongst the team?

:22:29. > :22:32.The noise in hear was incredible. The fans have been like this, never

:22:33. > :22:34.normally this full, but different class for the last four, five games,

:22:35. > :22:39.which we haven't won. Credit to them. Atmosphere was unbelievable.

:22:40. > :22:46.You are the man of the match, congratulations. Cheers. Thank you.

:22:47. > :22:50.So did Danny as well. Marvellous effort from Exeter. Fantastic from

:22:51. > :22:54.them. When they look back they'll see some chances. I don't think

:22:55. > :22:59.they'll be too disappointed to go to Anfield as you hear from flick nick

:23:00. > :23:03.there. It is -- Nichols there. It is unbelievable place to play. You have

:23:04. > :23:07.to give credit to Liverpool because they hung in there. A night to

:23:08. > :23:10.remember for the supporters applauding their team out there.

:23:11. > :23:13.Brilliant, a great atmosphere. We arrived early this afternoon, it

:23:14. > :23:18.was, you could tell all the fans were so up for this. They gave their

:23:19. > :23:22.team everything. The team gave them everything. A great night, what a

:23:23. > :23:26.story for Tom Nichols, been here since 11 years of age. Superb for

:23:27. > :23:33.him. Zbli sense he might go on to bigger and better things. Let's hear

:23:34. > :23:37.from Lee Holmes. The most important question is: Did

:23:38. > :23:41.you mean it? We've been working all week on them. We wanted to put it

:23:42. > :23:45.right in the mixer, right on top of Bogdan. Thankfully it hit the back

:23:46. > :23:53.stick and floated in. Great for us today. Unfortunately, we couldn't

:23:54. > :23:56.get the win. Your assessment of the game overall, fantastic performance

:23:57. > :23:59.from the team, League Two taking on Liverpool, whoever was playing for

:24:00. > :24:06.them tonight. Exactly. We knew that we could cause an upset today. We're

:24:07. > :24:09.disappointed that we ain't come away with the win. We played really well.

:24:10. > :24:13.Probably other than the possession, I thought we probably deserved it.

:24:14. > :24:16.But they're a great side, whoever they put out. It's going to be a

:24:17. > :24:20.difficult game. It would be nice to go to Anfield now and give them

:24:21. > :24:23.another game. Enjoy the replay. Great to talk to you. Thank you very

:24:24. > :24:28.much. Fabulous stuff. To score direct from

:24:29. > :24:32.a corner, quite unusual. There's one moment out here, towards the end of

:24:33. > :24:37.the game, where homes homes homes had another -- Lee Holmes had

:24:38. > :24:43.another corner. Alan was looking out, he saw his big, shiny bald head

:24:44. > :24:49.and he hit the worst corner you've ever seen. You intimidated him. Loom

:24:50. > :24:53.came back. -- Liverpool came back and got that all-important goal. A

:24:54. > :24:58.well worked goal in the end and great commitment from Smith to get

:24:59. > :25:01.in there in the first place. He reacts quicker than anyone else, a

:25:02. > :25:05.lovely finish. You have to give Liverpool credit for coming back

:25:06. > :25:09.into the game. They didn't play well first half. Klopp was committed to

:25:10. > :25:12.playing the kids tonight, hence the reason he didn't put on his two

:25:13. > :25:18.experienced players. A good night for the kids also. They got

:25:19. > :25:21.themselves out a hole. Yeah, they D the experience they'll get from, it

:25:22. > :25:24.because the pressure they're under to get something out of the game

:25:25. > :25:27.with the kids they're playing, you have to give them credit. You have

:25:28. > :25:32.to say they deserved it. They kept going. They'll learn more tonight

:25:33. > :25:36.than two or three years in the under 21 league. Indeed. This was very

:25:37. > :25:41.much Exeter's evening, let's remind ourselves of the two goals they

:25:42. > :25:45.scored. A lovely ball in for Nichols. Stretches out, good run,

:25:46. > :25:51.very, very good finish with the left foot. Super. He was saying he's been

:25:52. > :25:55.trying to get into the box quicker. He's got in there, to be fair, he's

:25:56. > :26:01.guided it in very well on the stretch. He's got to say he meant

:26:02. > :26:06.that. Whether he did or not! They said they were working on it. He's

:26:07. > :26:10.not getting a lot of pressure from the Exeter forward. There's nothing

:26:11. > :26:14.much there. He's got to do better. To be fair, they could have done a

:26:15. > :26:19.lot more. They could have put him under more pressure tonight. You're

:26:20. > :26:23.right, the keeper has to do better. Ex--er it, a replay -- Exeter, a

:26:24. > :26:28.replay at Anfield, it's not better than a win, it's close. I think so.

:26:29. > :26:31.Without being disrespectful to the teams they might get, what they will

:26:32. > :26:35.get out of playing at Anfield, whether they win or not is going to

:26:36. > :26:41.do better than them getting a team in the same league as them. For a

:26:42. > :26:43.lot of these players they'll never have the opportunity to play at one

:26:44. > :26:47.of the big grounds. Absolutely. Tonight was against one of the

:26:48. > :26:51.greatest clubs in European history, what they've got behind them, so for

:26:52. > :26:55.the players to go there, to enjoy it. Let's face it, they've done

:26:56. > :26:57.their job now, got the replay, got the money, good luck zbr. They

:26:58. > :27:01.certainly have. Let's hear from Jurgen Klopp.

:27:02. > :27:05.Thanks for joining us. Due feel the young boys didn't let you down

:27:06. > :27:09.tonight? Did what? Definite let you down, the young men? That's right.

:27:10. > :27:19.It was obvious what we have to learn in future. We have to be more

:27:20. > :27:24.robust. It was really difficult. It was really difficult on the pitch,

:27:25. > :27:28.but Exeter did really well. They had a few parts where they played

:27:29. > :27:33.football, maybe they know on which part of the pitch it's possible to

:27:34. > :27:37.play football, and on which part you can play long balls. We had a few

:27:38. > :27:44.long moments but it was difficult for us today. You saw and the

:27:45. > :27:48.players of Exeter in bad surprising, few one on one situations they were

:27:49. > :27:55.more robust than our guys. We have to work on that one, for sure, too

:27:56. > :27:58.much easy flick-ones. So it's always difficult. We have to make really

:27:59. > :28:04.long ways, the pitch doesn't get better. OK, the first goal, boning

:28:05. > :28:10.goals were really -- both goals were unlucky for us. The first goal was

:28:11. > :28:17.first offensive situation? Yeah, that's right. Boom, we were awake,

:28:18. > :28:22.yeah. The second one... Yeah... OK. Don't want to say more about the

:28:23. > :28:31.second goal? I heard about BBC showed it live, so come on. Full

:28:32. > :28:34.package. Spectacle. Then we make the draw and then we play again. Can't

:28:35. > :28:40.believe another game. OK you want it like this, so we will be there. It

:28:41. > :28:43.doesn't get easier. You said it was a chance for these young players to

:28:44. > :28:47.show you the future of Liverpool. What have you seen? No, no, no. How

:28:48. > :28:53.can I make some team together and say show me the future. It can be

:28:54. > :28:57.the future, if I charge after this game finally, yeah. Thank God, of

:28:58. > :29:02.course, doesn't work like this. It was only they helped us in our

:29:03. > :29:07.situation. We got another game, go on, that's all. Thanks for talking

:29:08. > :29:13.to us. Yeah, thanks. You have got to love Jurgen Klopp!

:29:14. > :29:31.Plenty more to watch out for this weekend:

:29:32. > :29:38.We're out of time Ian, Alan thank you very much. What a night it's

:29:39. > :29:45.been. That's it from us on the night that the Grecians earned a replay at

:29:46. > :29:50.Anfield. Good night. It's the FA Cup, so anything can happen.

:29:51. > :29:58.COMMENTATOR: This has all the ingredients for an upset. Nichols!

:29:59. > :30:05.Exeter City strike first! It comes to Sinclair. Liverpool level. Read

:30:06. > :30:13.nearly got onto it, Noble has. It's wide. It's gone in. What a save by

:30:14. > :30:17.Olejnik. Cleared to Smith. Brad Smith has equalised! It's finished

:30:18. > :30:21.at St James' Park all square. MUSIC: (They Long To Be) Close To You
