NEIL WARNOCK:




New boys are maturing, says Warnock

NEIL WARNOCK:

"Murphy and Reid have been my new signings and it takes some time for young lads coming into the Premier League like that."

"It’s a whole new ball game and I’m pleased with how they’ve grown up, Paterson as well is showing his maturity."




Warnock on Paterson the striker...

NEIL WARNOCK:

"People say his goal last week was a scrappy goal, but it’s a poachers goal."








How do you stop Salah, Mane and Firmino?

NEIL WARNOCK:

"If those three were injured, the next three aren’t bad either! You can only do so much as a coach. I thought the same watching"

"Arsenal the other night. You’ve got to hope your lads are concentrating and up for it and give them a run for their money."




Out of the bottom three?

"Well it’s never far from your thoughts, your always looking at the bottom eight clubs."

"One result that’s gone our way and we’re up there, so another couple of results and you don’t know where we are. We’ve had a tough run of fixtures, we’ve played everyone in the top six apart from Manchester United, but the crowd are behind us and that’s been very special."

"When you look at the odds from day one, we’re supposed to finish bottom."

"Especially when we haven’t spent the kind of money our rivals have. But you can have money, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to win things and stay up."

Reflections on the Fulham win?

"It was pretty amazing, there’s been a lot of tension over the past few weeks because we’ve played well. So it’s been disappointing not to get more points but they never let their heads drop. It was a great second 45 minutes."

NEIL WARNOCK: V LIVERPOOL

"It’s massive, it’s virtually impossible for any team in their current game. I think the front three is as good as any in the world. We’ve got to play at the top of our potential to give them a good game and hope they have an off day."

"I hope the lads are looking forward to it, it’s a special place in football, a remarkable place."

Warnock looks back on THOSE Van Dijk comments...

"I think I’d been drinking to be honest! What I meant was that if Van Dijk was in our team, you’d see if he was a good defender."

Neil Warnock accepts beating Liverpool is 'virtually impossible' as he reveals how Cardiff City can be competitive



Neil Warnock has admitted the chances of Cardiff City beating Liverpool are 'virtually impossible', but has backed his team to be competitive against the high-flying Reds.

Cardiff head to Anfield on the back of their first Premier League win of the season - although they haven't beaten Liverpool since 1959.

With Jurgen Klopp's current crop unbeaten this season in league outings and boasting a formidable attack line in Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, Cardiff's chances look slim.


Asked about the prospect of taking on the Reds in their own backyard, Warnock said: "It’s massive. It's virtually impossible for any team in the current game.





NEIL WARNOCK:

"I think the front three is probably the best around the world. We’ve all got to play at the top of our potential to give them a good game and hope they have an off day.

"But I think we can go there and cause problems.

"I hope the lads are looking forward to it, it’s a special place in football, a remarkable place."

Neil Warnock's Cardiff City face Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp at Anfield this weekend
Cardiff have picked up just one point on the road so far this season and have been priced at extraordinarily long odds to claim victory on Merseyside.

Warnock noted that he'd seen the odds and added on Liverpool's forward players: "If those three were injured, the next three aren’t bad either!

"You can only do so much as a coach."










All odds according to Sky Bet.

LIVERPOOL TO WIN - 1/9

Warnock on Klopp

"I just like the way that he is. He cares, he is passionate and pulls some faces doesn’t he!"

"He’s created that team, he saw what weaknesses there were and shored that up. Yes he’s spent big money but he’s an exceptional manager and we’re very lucky to have the managers that we’ve got."

Banning subs in injury time?

A story has been doing the rounds this morning about football’s lawmakers looking into banning substitutions after the 90 minute mark.

Here’s Warnock’s view:

I’m all for it, it doesn’t bother me. Sometimes it’s abused but you can’t blame managers for doing that. They’re always looking for things, they’ve got to earn their money.

Warnock on Gunnarsson

"He’s been very good for me because I’ve asked him to get ready for the Fulham game and at the moment we don’t expect him to be finishing a game. Tomorrow if he can give us another 65 to 70 minutes, I’d be delighted."

The astonishing scenarios that bookies think are more likely than Cardiff City beating Liverpool


Friday 26th October 2018


Every major bookmaker is offering shorter odds on a Liverpool 5-0 victory at Anfield this weekend than Cardiff City to win by any score.

You can even get better odds on Liverpool to win 7-0 than a Bluebirds 1-0 or 2-1 scoreline, as Neil Warnock's men prepare for their trip to Merseyside seemingly without a prayer in the world.

Bet Victor offer the best price for a Cardiff win this weekend at 28/1 — with 12/1 the standard price for Liverpool to cruise home 5-0.

The chances of Crystal Palace finishing in the Premier League top six this season are better than any scores with a Cardiff win this weekend, according to the bookies.


Paddy Power prices the Eagles' chances of European football next term at 45/1, while the best price available for the Bluebirds to stun Liverpool 1-0 is the 70/1 offered by Labrokes.

Those odds means a Cardiff 1-0 win this weekend is less likely — in the eyes of the bookmakers — than British youngster Kyle Edmund winning Wimbledon in 2019 (66/1), Ian Poulter winning the US Masters (66/1) or Bangladesh winning the 2019 Cricket World Cup.









Here are the astonishing prices in full:

Reflections on the Fulham win?

NEIL WARNOCK:

"It was pretty amazing, there’s been a lot of tension over the past few weeks because we’ve played well. So it’s been disappointing not to get more points but they never let their heads drop. It was a great second 45 minutes."



More reflections on Fulham

"The first half we did make mistakes, not the first goal that was a worldy, but the second goal one or two lads let their concentration drop."

I thought we made it count further forward though and it was good to see the fourth one go in, we could relax for a couple of minutes at least."

Will Liverpool feel Champions League fatigue?

Warnock isn’t so sure...

NEIL WARNOCK:

"I don’t think so, not with the top players. Someone said to me they’d rest Salah and I said ‘what, when he’s got a chance of scoring 5 or 6 goals against us?’ He’s going to want to play, isn’t he!"

Warnock on Paterson the striker...


NEIL WARNOCK:



"People say his goal last week was a scrappy goal, but it’s a poachers goal."


"All I want is people giving me everything and at the moment he’s the best option. I remember speaking to Callum about when I signed him as a full back and when he was 17 he played up front for a few games, scored a couple of goals for Dundee and that’s where played all his junior football - up front. What’s that saying: jack of all trades and master of none? He gets criticised but you always get that as a striker."

"That’s why I’ve always got time."

Warnock reveals Kadeem Harris came close to leaving


NEIL WARNOCK:

"Kadeem Harris wasn’t anywhere near my team and last week he scores a goal in the Premier League. Six weeks ago, he wanted to leave because he wasn’t getting a game. But that’s how things are."

"Now he wont forget that ever in his life."


"I’m pleased because he worked really hard, Kadeem, to come back in. I said to him ‘the only way you’re going to get back in my plans son, is by working hard’ - and he’s been probably the best in training in the last few weeks, now he’s got his reward so I’m delighted for him."

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on playing against a Neil Warnock team for the first time in Cardiff:

“It will be a big pleasure to meet him.

"Maybe not in the 90 minutes but before and after.

"He looks like a character, a very emotional and lively person.

"He looks like a very demanding manager, and always has my respect."
