Press conference: O'Neil on Lerma fitness, team spirit and Liverpool's attacking threat Afternoon Gary. Hi Mark. Obviously last week was a real blow for you and the lads and the club having played so well at times at the Emirates. How much of a psychological coaching session have you had to do with the lads to pick them up? Because conceding in that manner, in that style, when there was so much at stake, clearly the lads would have been disappointed. Have you had to kind of lift them in a psychological way? I think the moment in the dressing room right after it was the toughest aspect. So speaking to the group about how I felt about the game at that moment, understanding where they were emotionally from that. But moving past that this week has just gone back to Liverpool coming. So from Monday the lads were ready to work, ready to go. So there was absolutely no hangover what...

The Terriers are still in deep trouble with the championship relegations, so it's 7 points for safety for today's visitors from commentary. They've done most of their win in this season at home, though. They've got six of their eight victories in the Junior Smith Stadium, with a little bit too much defeat at Birmingham two weeks ago. Warnock makes four changes from a four-year period to Burnley, and now for the skinny, but they've got a little bit more concerns. The Sky Blues being one of the still-ying, a playoff place, with just five points separating them at the top six. Fankati Dolbo is three changes from their linear draw at Preston.

Trump town hall: 'He's making light of rape and sexual assault'

Trump town hall: 'He's making light of rape and sexual assault' I won twice and I did much better the second time than I did the first. Getting millions and millions more votes in 2020 than we got in 2016. I think we saw what everyone expected we would see, which is Donald Trump unfiltered, which is, you know, his default position. And I think there is no journalist at CNN that really could have stopped him when he starts filibustering on these issues. I'm, you know, I'm not sure why CNN decided to do this. They could have just as easily covered one of his, you know, rally's live. I think it would have been the exact same result in the same content. So I'm not sure that this is really a town hall in the way that American voters have come to expect town halls to be.
