Lucy Ward
Former Leeds striker on TNT Sports

He's had his critics, hasn't he, Wirtz, in terms of his performances for Liverpool, but that's what Liverpool supporters expect.

Just finding a little bit of space when there isn't any. Just couldn't get the finish.

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola speaking to TNT Sport before kick-off on trusting young players: "For me Trey [Nyoni], [Lewis] Koumas and Rio [Ngumoha] are young players coming in from the academy but they are first team players.

"They are first team players because we trust them, and in our situation, where we have some injuries, and we come from playing three days ago. I think they can play well, and I hope they do well."

On what a convincing win would mean: "Confidence, and especially the points, because this is the Champions League and in the Champions League it's very costly, especially away from home, where we have to be ready to play very well. We won the first game, let's win today and put ourselves in a better position."

"No excuses," said Unai Emery.

The Aston Villa head coach was talking about his team's form amid Villa Park's rebuild.

He had already turned the air blue when describing their defeat to Nottingham Forest last month.

It was a rare moment of candour from the Spaniard with Villa yet to win at home this season after Saturday's 2-2 draw with Brentford.

The North Stand is a shell and currently closed for building work as the club increases the stadium's capacity to over 50,000.

It is part of the club's plan to help Villa bridge the financial gap in the Premier League, but they may have to endure some short-term pain for long-term gain.

"Our handicap is less supporters for the situation, but the club decided it. It is something to improve us for the future," said the Spaniard.

"We must try to be together and without 7,000 supporters we must push everyone. We must play better football, compete better, be more focused. Those are more important than the stand.
