Liverpool under-18s were brought crashing back down to earth following their FA Youth Cup heroics when they suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Derby County on their return to Academy league action on Tuesday afternoon.  
Coach John Owens fielded several players who had taken part in the previous Friday's cup thriller at St Mary's but they were unable to get the better of a strong Derby side.
  
The visiting Rams took the lead on the half hour and it was enough to claim maximum points against a Reds team that never really got going on the day.
  
Team: Lancaster, Holmes, Woods, Threlfall, Darby, Barnett, Smith, Ryan, Burns (Barratt), Platt (Lindfield), Nardiello (Flynn).

Reds' goalkeeper Pepe Reina talks about his first season at Anfield, being a club record-breaker, how he's finding life on Merseyside and much, much more in our latest Big Interview on Liverpoolfc.tv.  


  
Pepe, you're coming towards the end of your first season at Anfield. How do you personally think it's gone?
  
I think it's gone well. When I decided to join Liverpool it was because I believed in the manager and the project he was trying to build at Anfield. I always want to improve in my career and moving to a club the size of Liverpool was a big step up for me. It's an honour for me to be at such a great club because this is a team that is known and loved all over the world. Even when I was in Spain, Liverpool was always a team that a lot of football supporters always spoke about. The fact that Liverpool have a Spanish manager and a lot of Spanish players obviously played a part in why so many Spaniards were interested in the team but even before Rafa arrived here, Liverpool were already a big name in Spain due to the fact that they'd won four European Cups.
  
Be honest, the move must have gone better than even you could have expected?
  
It's gone well, I won't deny that but there's still a lot of room for improvement from both myself and also the team in general. When you move to a new country and a new team, you need a little bit of time to adapt to your new surroundings but I am very happy here and I can honestly say I'm enjoying being Liverpool's goalkeeper. I'll be a lot happier when we're first in the Premiership but hopefully that will come.
  
Have you lost count of how many clean sheets you've kept already this season?
  
I haven't been counting the number of clean sheets I've kept but, to be honest, I would never try to claim that I was the sole reason for any clean sheet that Liverpool have managed this season. If we don't concede a goal, it's all down to teamwork and in some of the games, I haven't had anything to do.
  
If it's down to teamwork when Liverpool keep a clean sheet, how come you're the villain when a mistake costs us a goal?
  
That's just life for a goalkeeper. When you are a keeper, you can make some great saves during a game but if you win the match, it will be the goalscorer who grabs the headlines. I've played in matches where I've pulled of five or six really important saves but then I've made one mistake and that's all people remember from the match. I'm not complaining though - I knew what to expect when I chose to pursue a career as a goalkeeper. If I wanted all the headlines and all the glory, I might have tried harder to become a striker!
  
How difficult is it to stay focused when you might not get a touch of the ball for half-an-hour or so during a game?
  
When you're a goalkeeper and you join a great club, you know that you won't have as much to do as a goalkeeper at a club which is struggling or not so good. The difference is, you have to concentrate for every second of the match because you never know when you might be called into action. This is the life of a keeper at a big club. You might only have one save to make during a game but you have to make that save. If you have one shot to save - like I did in a game against Middlesbrough earlier in the season - you have to save it. The pressure is intense because if the opposition only gets one chance to score during a whole game, your mistake could cost the team two or even three points.
  
Without taking anything away from your own performances, do you feel secure in the knowledge that the likes of Jamie Carragher and Sami Hyypia are in front of you protecting your goal?
  

Reina on being our number one
It's gone well, I won't deny that but there's still a lot of room for improvement from both myself and also the team in general. When you move to a new country and a new team, you need a little bit of time to adapt to your new surroundings but I am very happy here and I can honestly say I'm enjoying being Liverpool's goalkeeper. I'll be a lot happier when we're first in the Premiership but hopefully that will come.
I'm lucky to have Jamie and Sami in the defence in front of me but the whole team works to defend my goal when we lose the ball. The defence starts in attack and every player works hard to get the ball back - no matter whether they're a striker, midfielder or defender. We play with our defence higher up the pitch than Liverpool did last season so the boss likes me to sometimes act as a sweeper and clear the ball even if it means me racing 20 yards outside of my area. It's not new for me to do this as I played the same way with both Barcelona and Villareal.
  
Has there been an occasion when you've committed yourself to racing out of your area and halfway there, you've suddenly thought, 'What have I done?'
  
If I'm not sure if I'll be able to get to the ball first then I don't normally go but if you think you can arrive first to clear the danger, you've got to go. When you're rushing out, you haven't got time to think about not making it first - you just have to run that little bit faster! The team has the confidence in me to be there when it matters though.
  
Your most famous mad dash this season was down at Stamford Bridge. Any regrets?
  
I don't regret running out to clear the ball but what can I say? It was a tackle and I touched the ball. I thought it looked clear that I made contact with the ball on TV.
  
What exactly did Arjen Robben say to you when the referee was calling you over?
  
I don't remember exactly but it didn't help the situation at the time. It was the firstsending off of my career and it was a bad experience for me and the team. To be honest, I don't even like talking about it.
  
Aside from your role as a 'makeshift sweeper', the other noticeable difference between your style and what we've seen before at Anfield is your preference to punch rather than catch the ball a lot of the time. Was this a conscious decision when you arrived in the Premiership?
  
Yes, I think it's a way of making sure you can clear the ball away from the goal no matter what pressure you are under. In England, the game is more physical than in Spain and the referee's are not the same. You can try to catch in the six-yard box but outside it, I like to punch it clear and make sure the ball is away from our goal as quickly as possible. Rafa advised me to do that when I came here and warned me to be careful in the air because of the way the opposition players collide into you.
  
How surprised have you been by the physical nature of the game in the Premiership?
  
I think shocked is a better word than surprised. It's too physical. Sometimes, the penalty area is like a boxing ring. I'm not joking, some of the strikers are built like boxers and play like them but without the gloves!
  
Some of them would probably say the same about you when you come flying out to punch the ball away. Ever got it wrong and knocked out one of your own defenders?
  
[Smiles] Not yet but they know that when I shout 'KEEPER!' it's time to get out the way!
  
Did you always want to be a goalkeeper?
  
When I was really young, like all kids, I used to play up front and score all the goals but I think my preference was always to be a goalkeeper. Even at seven years of age, I had the gloves and I used to play in goal.
  
Your father Miguel Reina played in goal for Barcelona. Did he push you into goalkeeping?
  
He didn't push me to do anything that I didn't want but he certainly encouraged me when I began to show an interest in being a goalkeeper. I think because of my father, football is just naturally in my blood. Having said that, just because my father was a goalkeeper didn't automatically mean I was going to become one too. I've got five brothers and I'm the only one who is a goalkeeper.
  
Do you think the fact that your father was a footballer has helped you to deal with being in the limelight because you must have seen it all before you even made your professional debut?
  
I don't know really because when my father was playing, it was a totally different time and a different way of live to how professional footballers live these days. The media interest in football back then was a world away from what it is now so what he had to cope with is quite different to what some of the big-name players have to deal with now. I'd like to think that my upbringing was very normal and that's why I've turned out a normal person.
  
Are you a better 'keeper than your father was?
  
I don't know if anyone could possible answer that? I certainly can't because how can you compare two players from two different eras – particularly when there has been a rule change that affects the way goalkeepers can go about their business. As I said before, it was a different time, a different style of football and a different style of goalkeeping. The training is a lot harder now as well.
  
So, in a roundabout way, you're basically saying that you're better as your dad had it easy picking up back passes every five minutes!
  
[Laughs] I didn't say that! If I can be as good as my father then I'll be happy because he played in La Liga and won six international caps. He's had a real influence on me and has helped me throughout my whole career.
  
Didn't you break your father's record of 824 minutes without conceding a goal earlier this season?

銀~龍

I think he did it only in league games but with me, all the competitions counted together. I don't know if that means my record is better than his. When I broke the record [Reina didn't concede a goal for 1017 minutes], he called me and told me I was better than him. I think he was only joking though. To be honest, I'm just really proud to have entered the record books for such a famous football club. That is more than I expected before I came here last summer. It's definitely something I'd like to tell my grandchildren about in years to come. Having said that though, the record is really a shared honour with the rest of my teammates because without them, it wouldn't have been possible. We defend as a team and we attack together as a team.
  
Luis Garcia recently told us that life in Liverpool is far calmer than at Barcelona. Is that how you see things?
  
I know what Luis means but I think the pressure he is talking about is off the pitch. With Barcelona and Liverpool, there's not too much difference on the pitch. They are both one of the most important teams in their country. At Barcelona and Liverpool, you have about three saves to make each game and youhave to make them saves if you want to keep your place in the team. As a player for Barca and Liverpool, you must always play to your maximum and be focused all of the time. Off the pitch, the media is very different in Spain. I think there is more pressure from the media at Barcelona than there is at Liverpool. In Spain, the journalists want to quiz you all the time.
  
What about the supporters?
  
The supporters are very different too. The supporters of Liverpool are unbelievable. We lost 2-0 to Benfica at Anfield and you could still hear the Liverpool fans singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. It was such an amazing thing to hear considering the fact that we were about to concede our European crown. The fans had been singing about how we were going to win it six times in Paris all season and then when that was about to become impossible, they didn't turn on the players. Instead, they launched into this amazing rendition of the club anthem and that really got to all the players. I'm not sure you'd hear anything like that in similar circumstances anywhere else in the world. After I heard that, I personally wanted to go to every supporter in the ground and say, 'We can only say we are sorry and, thank you, because we tried to win it for you'.
  
Do you get to talk to many Liverpool supporters in the streets around where you live?
  
If anyone stops me for a chat, I happily stop but not that many people recognise me in the street because I'm quite quiet in my private life. I prefer to stay out of the limelight and I think the fans respect that. They might wave or say hello but they certainly don't act like some fans in Spain do.
  
When you arrive at a new club, how do you go about learning about the history of the club? Did you study DVDs or books about Liverpool Football Club?
  
I knew about Liverpool before I arrived here but I didn't know everything. I just knew Liverpool was one of the most famous names in European football and that thesupporters were really well respected. When I signed however, I tried to learn more. I visited the museum inside the stadium to look at all the trophies and shirts and bits of history that is kept there. I also visited the club shop to see different things that were being sold. I knew Liverpool was the most successful club in England and hopefully, we can add another league championship to the list of honours next season.
  
If I mentioned Hillsborough to you, would you know what I was talking about?
  
Yes, I know about Hillsborough and also Heysel too. They were both very bad days for the club, but for different reasons obviously. I've read about Hillsborough and, of course, I've seen the memorial on the wall outside the ground. When you see the ages next to the names of the supporters who die, it really makes you think. I don't think you need to be a fan of Liverpool or even know much about what happened to be saddened by see the names of such young fans on a memorial like that. The history of the club is important to me though. Even simple things, like touching the 'This is Anfield' sign before walking on to the pitch are important because you need to keep the traditions alive. You think, if the player who came before me and were so successful felt the need to touch the sign, then so should I.
  
Finally, one question I've always wanted to ask a goalkeeper: would you be happy not to touch the ball once during a whole match if the team won or do you secretly want to make a few saves to convince yourself you've played some role in the victory?
  
I'd prefer not to touch the ball and we win 3-0 but it's almost impossible. If I had the choice before a game, I'd definitely pick winning without me having to touch the ball.
  
Sounds like a nice way to earn your money..
  
It would be if it ever happened but has there ever been a match where a goalkeeper hasn't touched the ball once? I don't think there has. If you only have to do one thing in a wholematch, you've got to make sure you do it right. One catch to make and you drop it? That's not a nice way to earn your money!

Rafael Benitez today insisted Momo Sissoko is destined to become one of football's great midfielders.  
Sissoko made an emotional return to first team action against Birmingham in midweek, just four weeks after sustaining the eye injury which threatened to ruin his career.
  
He even removed his protective glasses during the first half when they began to steam up, but his determination to play on without them speaks volumes for his character according to the boss.
  
"What pleased me most about Tuesday's game wasn't just the victory or the goals, it was to see Momo Sissoko playing again," said Benitez.
  
"He was training all week with the special glasses, but during the game they began steaming up so he had more problems. He decided to take them off but wanted to continue playing.
  
"This shows how much courage the boy has. There was an element of risk in him playing without the glasses, but he has a strong character and he is a winner.
  
"For sure he can become one of the best midfielders around because he is so good mentally and in terms of ability.
  
"Look at his performance on Tuesday. There were times when he was determined to make key tackles and he's always working for the whole game.
  
"When we have Momo, Xabi and Gerrard available, we have the right balance of skill and energy, pace and power and they bring the best qualities out of each other.
  
"Sometimes you may need to change things around, but when they're on the pitch together we have everything you need in a midfield."

As the countdown begins to Saturday's 203rd Merseyside derby, former Everton favourite and one-time Red Kevin Sheedy reflects on his Anfield career and subsequent move across Stanley Park.  


  
It's no secret, and I'll offer no apologies, that my allegiances on derby day will lie with the blue half of the city. But had certain events taken a different course back in the late seventies/early eighties then it's fair to say that I could well have been writing this from a red tinted perspective.
  
Although I'm best remembered on Merseyside for my time at Everton, with whom I enjoyed great success in the mid-eighties, I'll always be grateful to Liverpool, and especially reserve team manager of the time Roy Evans, for what I learned there during a contrasting four-year spell prior to joining the Toffees.
  
It was during the summer of 1978 that I left the homely confines of Hereford United to join the then reigning European Champions. It was a massive step-up to make but I had confidence in my ability and was excited at the prospect of developing my career at, what was then, the country's undisputed top club.
  
I must admit, however, that I did harbour certain reservations about the move. Don't get me wrong, I was extremely grateful to Bob Paisley for giving me this wonderful opportunity but it was a well-known fact back then that the 'Liverpool Way' of doing things was for all new signings to serve an apprenticeship in the reserves before any chance of a first team opportunity beckoned.
  
Of course, given my young age, I didn't expect to walk straight into such a star-studded senior side but in the back of my mind there was a slight concern that I could end up stuck in the second string for a long time due to the quality of players at Anfield.
  
Trying to break up the awesome midfield quartet of Souness, McDermott, Case and Kennedy was a daunting task. And if that wasn't bad enough, the reserve side was bristling with a hungry pack of players oozing with immense potential and, together we were all chasing the same goal.

Sheedy on life at Liverpool
Although I'm best remembered on Merseyside for my time at Everton, with whom I enjoyed great success in the mid-eighties, I'll always be grateful to Liverpool, and especially reserve team manager of the time Roy Evans, for what I learned there during a contrasting four-year spell prior to joining the Toffees. It was often said that the all-conquering Liverpool reserve team of this era could have easily held its own in the lower divisions of the Football League and on reflection I suppose I'd have to agree.

It was often said that the all-conquering Liverpool reserve team of this era could have easily held its own in the lower divisions of the Football League and on reflection I suppose I'd have to agree.
  
In the four years I was at Liverpool we won the Central League every season and many of the players that didn't make the first team grade at Anfield went on to play to a good standard elsewhere – lads like Howie Gayle, Steve Ogrizovic and of course my former Everton team-mates Dave Watson and Alan Harper.
  
It was very difficult to make the breakthrough at Liverpool and, as the record books show, very few did during this time. Sammy Lee, of course was one, but I even remember he doubted his chances at one point.
  
It was always good when one of the lads made it and another was a player I found myself in direct competition with – Ronnie Whelan. It was ironic because we were both Republic of Ireland under-21 internationals and great mates. We shared the same digs and got on fine. It was just a shame that we were competing for the same first team place.
  
The defining moment for me came in an under-21 international we played against England, which, funnily enough, was played at Anfield. I suffered an injury and, as luck would have it, the following week so too did Ray Kennedy. It offered a rare first opportunity for a left-sided midfielder. Ronnie stepped into the breach and the rest, as they say, is history.
  
I got the feeling I was always fighting a losing battle after this and no matter how well I played I was always way down the pecking order. Fair play to Ronnie though, he fully grasped his chance and didn't look back.
  
I did manage to make a total of five first team appearances at Liverpool and my debut, against Birmingham at Anfield, was an occasion I'll always remember. It was a great feeling to run out in front of the Kop. We drew 2-2 that day and I did okay. In total I played five times for the Liverpool first team and scored two goals, both in the League Cup – one away at Exeter and another at home to Middlesbrough.
  
All you can do when given your chance is do your best and I genuinely believe I did that but it just wasn't to be. Liverpool obviously didn't rate me highly enough to be a regular first team player there so it eventually ended in disappointment.
  
I must admit the latter part of my time at Anfield was a frustrating. I'd look at players like Brian Kettle. He played on happily in the reserves at Liverpool for years, that was his choice but it was the last thing I wanted to do. With respect to Brian, I had more ambition than that and belief I could do a first team job elsewhere.
  
Bob Paisley was reluctant to let me go to a so-called 'big' club and once tried to offload me to Blackpool. It was only when my contract expired that Everton came in for me. I could see what Howard Kendall was trying to build at Goodison. I got the impression they had the nucleus of a good side and,even though I was the first Liverpool player to join Everton since Johnny Morrisey in the sixties, I had no reservations about making the move across Stanley Park.
  
Of course, I came up against the Reds on many occasions while wearing the royal blue and maybe I was, at times, eager to prove a point, which I didn't really need to do. No player ever wants to lose a derby game but perhaps I was that little bit more determined.
  
There were certainly some memorable matches during that era. The games were always fiercely contested and the atmosphere was electric. In my last mini-derby for Liverpool reserves I'd actually scored the winning goal from the penalty spot against the Blues in a 1-0 win at Anfield but my first derby experience for Everton was one I'd rather forget - the 5-0 drubbing in 1982, when Rushie scored four.

Sheedy on the Mersey derby
I suppose the one derby match most people will associate me with is Everton's 3-1 defeat at Anfield in April 1987. I scored with a free-kick in front of the Kop but it was my subsequent two-fingered celebration that unfortunately made the headlines. I can honestly say now though that it was just a spur of the moment reaction and I wasn't being disrespectful. To this day, I still don't know what made me do it. It wasn't something I planned and it wasn't meant to cause offence because there was also a fair number of Evertonians on the Kop that day.

The memories aren't all bad though. I vividly remember the Milk Cup Final at Wembley, which was the first all-Merseyside affair beneath the win towers, and famous goals from Paul Wilkinson at Goodison and Kevin Ratcliffe at Anfield.

It wasn't something I planned and it wasn't meant to cause offence because there was also a fair number of Evertonians on the Kop that day.
  
Despite crossing the great Mersey divide I'd always got on well with the Liverpool fans. They were always fine with me. Without sounding big-headed, I think they recognised me as a good player and respected me for that. It was not like I'd walked out of Anfield as a high-profile player in controversial circumstances and I think the fact Liverpool were enjoying so much success at the time must have helped.
  
Looking back, I've got no regrets about how my career on Merseyside turned out. Obviously, I would have liked to establish myself as a first team regular at Liverpool but I was fortunate enough to join another great club in Everton and I wouldn't change one minute of my Goodison career, so I can have no complaints.
  
I still follow the fortunes of both Mersey clubs with interest and I'm really looking forward to Saturday's 203rd derby at Anfield. From an Evertonian point of view I hope it goes better than the one at Goodison earlier in the season. I went to that one and it was a little bit one-sided to say the least. Everton's goal just before half-time that night gave them a chance they never really deserved and once Cisse scored early in the second half it was all over.
  
A lot has changed since then though. Everton were really struggling at the time and their form now could not be more contrasting. They've certainly turned the corner since Christmas and, confidence-wise, are soaring at the minute. Of course, so too are Liverpool. And so the stage is set for an excellent game. I think Everton still go into it as underdogs but I'm expecting it to be a lot tighter this time around.
  
As ever, I'll be rooting for the Blues on Saturday. The Toffeemen are my team on Merseyside now and have been ever since the day I walked out of Anfield in the summer of 1982.
  
That's not to say I feel any bitterness towards Liverpool though. It doesn't make my weekend when they win but equally it doesn't make my weekend when they lose. Fair play if they're doing well and I think it was great for the city that they won the Champions League last season.
  
Having spent my formative years in this football-crazy city with the Reds there'll always be a small place in my heart for them but, as I'm sure most Liverpudlians will understand, there's only one result I'm hoping for this weekend.
  
Enjoy the game!

Scotland under-21 international Robbie Foy scored an excellent goal as 10 man Liverpool Reserves drew 1-1 with nine man Aston Villa on a bitterly cold night at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground.  
The game started with a terrible tackle from Villa left back Shane Lowry on Peltier, that earned the defender a booking. After treatment Peltier was able to continue but it could easily have been a straight red card. That set the precedent for the evening as Villa were physical and no nonsense in their approach. The match ended with both sets of players fighting as Peltier was the victim of another bad late tackle. Peltier reacted and was shown a straight red card while Villa had two players sent-off in the same incident. Isaiah Osbourne was sent-off for the challenge and Scott Bridges was also given his marching orders.
  
Liverpool dominated the match and had the best efforts before Foy finally broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute. The winger timed his run to perfection to beat the off-side trap and latch onto Danny Guthrie's superb pass, and he finished well for his second reserve team goal of the week.
  
However, Villa equalised seven minutes later, somewhat against the run of play when Eric Lund slotted home an equaliser.
  
After defeating Wigan Athletic 2-0 at Wrexham on Monday night, Paco Herrera and Hughie McAuley made just one change to their team with Lee Peltier coming in for Paul Anderson.
  
There was some good performances from Liverpool players as Guthrie was industrious in midfield while at the back Godwin Antwi and Miki Roque were as solid as ever.
  
Before his goal, Foy had missed a glorious chance after six minutes to give Liverpool the lead when the Scotland under-21 international blazed over the bar from close range.
  
Antonio Barragan was a lively figure for Liverpool at right back in the first half and he got forward well at regular opportunities providing the team with good width.
  
Guthrie went close for the Reds after 17 minutes and was so unlucky to see his curled free-kick hit the post.
  
Peltier also went close in the second half with a rasping low drive that went just wide.
  
Liverpool Reserves: Martin, Barragan, Smith, Antwi, O'Donnell, Roque, Peltier, Hobbs, Calliste (Lindfield 78), Guthrie, Foy. Subs unused: Woods, Lancaster, Flynn, Barnett.
  
Aston Villa Reserves: Olejnik, Green, Lowry, Cahill, O'Halloran, Whittingham, Lund, Osbourne, Mikaelsson (Saunders 70), Bridges, Kabeyr.

在足總杯對伯明翰的比賽中，21歲的施素高順利復出，在比賽中戴著護鏡以作保護。雖然主帥賓尼迪斯未必冒險於五天內第二度派施素高出戰，但他希望可於周六第203次默西塞特郡的打比戰中以正選上陣。

施素高在未來六個月作賽均要戴上護鏡，他透露每天需要滴下三次眼藥水，不過可以重返賽場，這些也變得不重要。施素高也指出在受傷期間，華倫西亞的前隊友也有致電他，他甚至收到了馬里總統托尼的慰問。

他說：「艾耶拉、艾馬及米士達都有給我電話，在意外發生後一日，比圖也來到我下榻的酒店向我道歉。我對他說：『不要緊，這就是足球。』」

「當賓菲加來利物浦作客時，他也在晏菲路詢問我的狀況。我的母親和女朋友一直在照顧我，令我最意外的是總統先生也有來電，告訴我國家中每個人都支持著我，也肯定我可以重返賽場。」
