🚨 Sergi Cardona on facing Rio Ngumoha:

“People watching at home probably thought we weren’t defending properly. I understand that.

But there was something very annoying about playing against Rio.

Normally, when you’re facing a winger, you try to work out what he wants to do. Does he want to go outside? Does he want to come inside? Is he waiting for support?

With Rio Ngumoha, I couldn’t work it out.

The first time he came towards me, I thought he was going outside. He came inside.

The next time, I remembered what happened and tried to stop him coming inside.

He went outside.

Then there was another situation where I decided I wasn’t going to make the first move.

I thought, ‘Fine. Let’s see what you do now.’

He stopped with the ball.

I stopped.

For a moment, we were both just standing there looking at each other.

Then he moved, and somehow I was running towards our own goal again.

I remember speaking to my teammate. I told him, ‘When he gets the ball, come closer. Don’t leave me alone.’

He said, ‘I was close to you the last time.’

I said, ‘Then come closer than that.’

That’s how difficult it was.

And the worst thing was that he didn’t look tired. You’d make a challenge, recover your position, and he’d be asking for the ball again.

At one point, I looked towards our bench because I thought maybe the manager had an idea.

He was watching the same thing I was watching.

Listen, I’ve played against quick players before. I’ve played against technically gifted players. That’s football.

But this boy is 18, playing in the Champions League, and he was attacking us as though somebody had told him we were the youth team.

After the match, one of the guys said, ‘He’s going to be a very good player.’

I told him, ‘Yes, but I would’ve preferred to discover that on television.’

I wish him a great career.

I just hope the next time Liverpool play us, he has something else planned for the evening.”

That's a very harsh decision from Kavanagh.

[Physio Scout | Football Injury Analysis @physioscout]

Cody Gakpo had to come off in the first half in Serbia vs. Netherlands with an ankle injury.

Scissor-tackle type mechanism forced Gakpo's ankle into eversion + external rotation.

This mechanism raises concern for a syndesmosis/high ankle sprain. Scans will need to rule out any lower-leg fractures.

Expected Recovery Time:
Moderate-grade syndesmosis/deltoid ligament: 3–6 weeks
High-grade syndesmosis: 8-10+ weeks w/ surgery

Gakpo will be lucky to escape any lengthy time out with the nature of the tackle.

However, scans will be necessary to determine the length of the time out.

A 13-year-old girl was raped. Police had CCTV of two men they wanted to identify. The public sees it TWO YEARS later.

That is not good enough.

If police cannot identify suspected rapists themselves, put the images out and let the public help identify them. That should be an urgent part of the investigation not an appeal two years down the line.

Every day you wait is another day for suspects to disappear or offend again.

And this isn’t happening against some backdrop of rare offending. Rape is being reported in London at the rate of one every hour.

Meanwhile this girl, who was just 13, has spent two years living in fear. Her family says she no longer feels safe being alone.

Two years is far too long. The Met has to be better at this.

Suspected rapists need to be identified and found. When police have exhausted immediate identification routes, get their faces in front of the public quickly.

If you recognise either man, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. There is a £10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

“The new coach must diplomatically navigate through the repercussions of a Liverpool transfer policy which took the club down a risky and unfamiliar path more in common with Real Madrid"

“As things stand, we are in the midst of Anfield’s failed galacticos era”

@Carra23 explains how Andoni Iraola has “inherited a mish-mash of a squad”, despite Liverpool’s significant spending since last summer ⬇️

🚨 SHOCK EXPOSÉ: British reporter sneaks onto migrant dinghy and catches French police GIVING FREE TAXI RIDES to people-smugglers back to their camps so they can keep flooding Britain!

Christian Drogan spent weeks undercover in the lawless Calais camps, posing as a fugitive British crook. He boarded a packed inflatable with dozens of others, filming every grim second of the seven-hour nightmare crossing.

French gendarmes pulled up mid-Channel, warned the boat the seas ahead were “very dangerous”, and offered anyone a lift back to shore. The ONLY ones who jumped at the chance? The four smugglers running the operation. Police cheerfully dropped them straight back on the beach to organise the next wave of illegal trips!

Unbelievable!

Drogan later said: “I rolled the dice with my life for this investigation, and its findings have only cemented my scepticism towards the establishment.”

TalkTV’s Isabel Oakeshott added: “There is a very good reason no reporter has ever attempted such a mission before: because it is both extraordinarily difficult, and extraordinarily dangerous.”

Border Force eventually picked them up in UK waters. One officer even told Drogan: “You’re on the wrong boat.”

This is the reality the authorities don’t want you seeing.

Great work!

EXC: #THFC still pushing to sign Cody Gakpo. Understand a move to #MCFC unlikely at this stage. #LFC remain in talks with PSG for Bradley Barcola. French sources suggesting that one is more likely than unlikely between now and the transfer deadline. More on @talkSPORT @JacobsBen

🚨 | Liverpool are set to submit a final bid for Bradley Barcola (23) that they know PSG would accept; the gap in valuation has narrowed between the two clubs and the player is confident to secure his transfer to the Reds. (L'Eq)
