    Replay wolves and Utd obviously from last month. Klopp is being disingenuous. He knows it can't happen. We'd be replaying games every other week.

    Liverpool v Wolves FA cup last season needs replaying. Toti Gomes scored in the last 2 minutes which would have been the winner. It was disallowed for offside even though VAR could not find anyone in an offside position. Ironic that it was against Liverpool. Why aren’t they asking for a replay of this match?

  4. Newcastle 'the team from the fourth pot no-one really wanted'published at 15:52 BST 4 October 2023

    Paris St-Germain boss Luis Enrique has admitted that "no-one wanted to play" Newcastle United in this year's Champions League group stage.

    The Ligue 1 side, along with AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund, were drawn against the Magpies - who were in pot four - in a group that looked to be the most difficult on paper.

    The Spaniard, who was part of the Barcelona side that lost 3-2 at St James' Park in Newcastle's first fixture in the competition in 1997, is wary of the encounter and won't be taking anything for granted.

    "They are the team from the fourth pot in the draw that no-one really wanted, of course. We know that they play at a high level," he said in his pre-match news conference.

    "They're very good in possession; they're very good off the ball as well. They play with a very high press - they're almost a compete football team.

    "They're going to be playing in front of their extremely passionate supporters as well and that's going to help them.

    "All teams can go far in the Champions League. There's no reason why Newcastle can't go far either. No-one wanted to play them, I guess, also because we saw how good they were last season.

    "It's a spectacular place to go and play and it will also be good for us to see what our team is made of playing at St James' Park.

    "I'm envious of my players because they're going to get to experience that first-hand out on the pitch. I just hope that it's a great game."

  5. Facing Mbappe 'a challenge I'm ready for'published at 15:45 BST 4 October 2023

    Kieran Trippier feels Newcastle United can't be "too fixed" on facing Kylian Mbappe if they want to beat Paris St-Germain on Wednesday.

    The right-back will have a tough job on his hands against the France superstar when the Magpies play their first Champions League home game in 20 years against the Ligue 1 champions.

    "This is football, these are the levels you want to play at, playing in the Champions League against the best players and the best teams, but you know Paris St-Germain have got unbelievable players in the team," said Trippier in the pre-match news conference.

    "Of course we need to recognise Mbappe is one of the best players in the world, but they've got quality all over the pitch. We can't be too fixed on them - we need to play our way because on our day we can hurt anyone.

    "He is certainly one of the best players in the world. Over the past few years he has been incredible. But as we do every single game - if it'sBurnley, if it's Paris, if it'sWest Hamon Sunday - we always prepare how we can win the game and how we can hurt the opposition, and tomorrow's no different just because it is a Champions League game."

    This isn't the first time the England international has encountered Mbappe and he isn't worried about coming up against the 24-year-old again.

    "It is a challenge I'm ready for. I've played against many good players and many good wingers in my career.

    "The Champions League is where I want to play and you're going to play against the best wingers in the world."

  6. Newcastle v Paris St-Germain: Pick of the statspublished at 15:40 BST 4 October 2023

    Newcastle v PSG (20:00 BST)

    • Newcastle United have won just three of their 13 meetings with French opponents (D4 L6), with this the first time they have faced Paris St-Germain.
    • PSG have lost five of their past seven Champions League games against English sides, with the exceptions being a 3-1 victory at Manchester United(December 2020) and a 2-0 home win over Manchester City(September 2021).
    • Newcastle's 0-0 draw with AC Milan in their opening group match was just their third clean sheet in 19 Champions League games, and they have never recorded back-to-back shutouts in the competition.
    • Against Milan, Nick Pope became the fifth English goalkeeper to not concede a goal on his first Champions League start - and none of the other four kept a clean sheet in their second start in the competition.
    • PSG's Kylian Mbappe has goals in the Champions League at Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United. He could become the fourth player to score an away goal at four English stadiums in the competition, after Cristiano Ronaldo (five), Lionel Messi (four) and Robert Lewandowski (four).

    The 1991 FA Cup Final, Forest v Spurs, when that clown Roger Milford failed to send Paul Gascoigne off for two horrendous so-called tackles on Garry Parker and then Gary Charles in the first 15 minutes, just because he was "Gazza". Outrageous refereeing that still rankles 32 years on. And cost Cloughie his first FA Cup.

    "When he is scoring goals he is very good for the team but when he is not scoring he is always working well, he is always doing his work we are demanding of him.

    "He is closer to work with the national team because he has started very good this season."

    Aston Villa manager Unai Emery gives his thoughts on VAR: "I'm always positive with VAR. I think it is good for football. I think it helps the referee always.

I can accept sometimes they are making a mistake, but normally, usually, they are working very well."
