The Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp bemoaned his sides defensive errors, as they drew 2-2 against Wolves in the FA Cup Third Round, meaning both sides will meet again in the replay. However, Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui was unhappy with the referee's performance after they saw a late goal over-turned because of an offside decision. The former Republic of Ireland midfielder Matt Holland labels Harry Kane a "genius" after he moved just one goal of breaking Jimmy Greaves' record as Spurs' all-time leading scorer as his 265th goal helped them beat Portsmouth 1-0 in the FA Cup. Nathan Jones expresses his relief after getting his first win as Southampton manager, whilst the Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper slammed his sides showing as they were thrashed 4-1 at Blackpool. Coventry manager Mark Robins said he was embarrassed to be knocked out by Non-League Wrexham in the Third Round, losing 4-3 at home, and Newcastle manager Eddie Howe hints that their 2-1 defeat to League One side Sheffield Wednesday could be just the wake-up call they needed ahead of the second half of the season. And we end the show by hearing from under-fire Chelsea manager Graham Potter, who said he still has the backing of the owners ahead of facing Man City later this afternoon. Hosted on Acast.
