Maybe it was too much, seeing the result. I take responsibility but I saw them and I like everyone to be involved, when you are a football player and don't play for five, six, seven games it's tough but maybe it was too much.

who took over the Liverpool job as a 34-year-old in 1985 after Joe Fagan resigned following the Heysel Stadium disaster. Well, it was a surprise, Dalglish recalls to FourFourTwo. The way that I saw it, I was just going to give my best, and if my best transpired not to be good enough, then I'd hold my hands up and say, This isn't for me it's not fair on the club, so get somebody else in.'

Venue: Cardiff City Stadium Date: Tuesday 18 November Kick-off: 19:45 GMT Coverage: Live on BBC iPlayer, BBC One Wales, BBC Sounds, BBC Radio Wales, Radio Cymru and Sports Extra, BBC Sport website and app, plus live text commentary. Wales face North Macedonia on Tuesday, 18 November in a match which will decide their play-off path for the 2026 World Cup. Who would you pick for a game Wales must win to finish as runners-up in Group J?

I didn't feel that we were experimenting in the last two camps and we will not start in this camp," he explained. "We take it seriously. These are World Cup qualifiers. We want to build and keep on going. Do you feel I was experimenting in the last matches?

Scotland are potentially two games away from a first men's World Cup finals appearance since 1998. Wins over Greece and Denmark or a draw in Greece and then a win over Denmark will guarantee Steve Clarke's side a place at next year's tournament in Canada, the United States and Mexico. This will be the fourth meeting with Greece this year, so there should be no big surprises in Piraeus, although it's difficult to gauge the hosts' mood given they are out of the running.

Frank, though, dropped both to the bench here. Djed Spence came in at left-back and Richarlison started on the wing in front of him. It seemed like a case of Frank thinking more about how to nullify United than how to trouble them. Spence was there to keep Amad Diallo quiet but the United winger provided the cross for the opening goal.

Kompany, who is preparing for Wednesday's German Cup second-round tie away to Cologne, is satisfied with Jackson's early impact. "I have a different opinion of Nicolas Jackson than the public, but obviously when he scores a few more goals there won't be a debate anymore," Kompany told a news conference on Tuesday. "I'm of the opinion that he's already helped a lot."

AC Milan have been given some big news this afternoon, with it being reported that Rafael Leao can play this weekend. There have been considerable doubts about Leao's ability to be involved this weekend, considering he trained alone yesterday and was still experiencing some discomfort. It was even suggested that he may not be able to feature at all at San Siro.

There was no shortage of effort from England and the promise that they would be motivated going into a first Ashes series in 22 years could not be questioned. But there was a critical lack of quality at any stage of the contest, which means Shaun Wane, the head coach, is surely going to have to make changes to try to keep the series alive.

"I said after the [Ajax] game it was a special night, special for the club and the fans with so many young players. We are full of good, young, talented players and the main thing for me is just to try to help them day by day get better and better. It's the only way to improve the team if you can help the players."

It must be noted that the 25-year-old forward is dealing with lingering discomfort from a hamstring overload in his left leg, which he sustained during the recent international break. The club released an official statement noting, "First team player Ferran Torres will miss tomorrow's match against Girona as a precaution, due to discomfort stemming from the hamstring overload in his left leg, sustained during the international break." Ferran had returned early from the Spanish national team's training camp due to the overload.

Lamine Yamal is back in the Barcelona squad against Real Sociedad, but will have to wait to make his return having been named on the bench. Yamal has missed Barca's last four games because of a groin injury, his absence coming after he controversially took painkillers to play for Spain during the most recent international break. But he is fit enough to play some part against Sociedad, though Hansi Flick's decision to keep him on the bench is likely one made with an eye on the visit of Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
