THE GUARDIAN Wednesday January 4 1989 Liverpool 1 Aston Villa 0 Whelan puts head through Villa wall 14 SPORTS NEWS than recently to shoot from Stephen Btarley Villa, with Mountfield, Keown and Evans dovetailed into a solid central defensive triumvirate, were swift to close down on Liverpool's every move, dogging their steps, snapping at their heels and generally looking to deny the home side any chance of settling. In and at them was Graham Taylor's battle cry for the evening and Liverpool's confidence, more than a touch frayed, was duly tried once more. Molby's return to the centre of Liverpool's defence for his first full post-porridge game helped their composure a little and allowed Nicol to use his pace, athleticism and strength to support Houghton down the right. Spink, so uncomfortable of late, was twice in trouble in the first half. He fumbled a corner and was relieved the ball failed to fall to a red-shirted player.

Then he scurried out to collect a Houghton pass on the edge of the penalty area and completely misjudged it. Aldridge dodged around the Villa goalkeeper but was off balance as he shot and the ball dribbled wide. It was not his last miss of the night. Barnes, taking up a more central position in attack, and Beardsley, drifting from left to right and back again, were soon running hard and with considerable penetration, while Liverpool were much more prepared LL thoughts of a fwk Liverpool decline JJwere forgotten as Tquickly as a New Year's resolution at Anfield last night. Ronnie Whelan grabbed the last piece of Christmas cake with a rare headed goal in the 65th minute, but how Aston Villa made them sweat and struggle for their first three points of 1989.

Both teams dived into the action from the word go and never came up for breath. The pace was quite staggering, in fact too frenetic by half. However, the excitement could not be denied.

Russell Thomas reports that the Surrey suburbanites are taking a Rangers 4, Celtic 1 Feeble Celtic crack admitted Williams.

"But we played and beat Aldershot and Peterborough last season and they weren't backwards in coming forwards physically. Middlesbrough were the exception in our run then." Faced with the Sky Blue force, what can Sutton, midway in the GMVC, expect from Saturday, other than 40,000 generated by a capacity crowd, sponsorship and the Beeb's attentions? The Conference cognoscenti are taking the bold view, marking the coupon with an X. Sutton have drawn nine of their 22 GMVC games this season after being the draw specialists last season with 18. Another oddity is their away Conference form no wins to date though they have won on their opponents' ground in each of their three FA Cup rounds. Williams takes what he calls the "pragmatic" approach.

"I'm not taking the the third-round tie. winners. All 8,000 tickets were gone by last Wednesday and the BBC TV and radio are busying themselves for a broadside. Sutton are also known in Sweden now they are the first English non-League team to appear on their pools coupons. The reason for the manager's calm is that Williams has been this way before, even if he admits "it's by far the biggest tie I've been associated The pulse will be racing on Saturday, he concedes, "but I'll sleep well on Friday night and so will the players.

We have last year to thank for that." By "last year" Williams means Sutton's two Cup duels with Middlesbrough long ranee. Both Beardsley and Whelan twice went close, yet no closer than Stuart Gray, who really should have scored alter Mcln- ally had held the ball up superbly before releasing a pass that should have been decisive. The First Division's lead ing scorer was to make a pre mature exit, however, going off with a bruised hip early in the second halt. Such was the nature of the game that, only a few minutes after he had fluffed his scoring chance, Gray was back in his own penalty area dispossessing McMahon, who had been put in the clear by a superb 40-yard pass trom Beardsley. The Kop, who had not seen Liverpool win at home in the League since November, bayed for a penalty as first Nicol and then McMahon stu.nbled in the box.

Desperation was creeping in both on and on the pitch. Then, with 65 minutes gone, Houghton centred from the right, the ball spun up off the boots ot a villa delender and Whelan had almost to bend himself in two to force the ball in.

"I simply have to concede that Rangers were a yard quicker, a yard more aggressive and more determined. "I have got to question the character of my team. In adversity you have to roll up your sleeves but it didn't happen." Rangers, who had looked pretty awful the excellent Derek Ferguson excepted during the first 15 minutes, eventually rumbled their visitors' plight. Celtic were left with a midfield comprising two veterans, Stark and Burns, and, in Grant, a player nowhere near his physical peak after months out of the game with hepatitis and jaundice.

And, of course, there was the defence, at the heart of which McCarthy and Baillie could easily have lost their places to Laurel and Hardy, and on the left side of which Rogan once again looked immaturely rash.

That was the time it took Bruce Rioch's highly talented side to prevail in a third-round replay. Ayresome Park honoured the losers with a standing ovation. But even before seeing Wall's dossier, Williams knew Coventry would be a harder proposition than the young Boro side.

"The feedback is that they have a fair number of quality players," he said. "Individually our players would get far fewer marks than theirs. We just have to hope that our sum of the whole is greater than the parts." Williams saw the TV highlights of Monday's match which thrillingly demonstrated the aerial power of John Sillett's side: four goals against Wednesday, including David Speedie's hat-trick, came from headers. "They are a team of considerable physical strength," debut in 1974, Tavare has made 18,539 first-class runs, with 35 centuries, passing 1,000 runs in 12 seasons. A fine stroke-player on his day, he was usually cast in the role of anchorman in his 30 Test appearances between 1980 and 1984.

In the county game, under his captaincy Kent finished seventh and fifth, and twice reached the final of the NatWest Trophy. His likely departure is not a surprise. Ever since Cow-drey, the scion of Kent's most celebrated cricketing family, was promoted above him after the 1984 season, there has been speculation as to what Tavare would do when his benefit was over. With Essex also reported to be interested in him, Kent may soon lose another Test player. Graham Dilley left for Worcestershire two years Terry Alderman pre- terrea to re-enter county cricket with Gloucestershire last year.

Kent dominated the county game in the 1970s with three championships and seven one-day titles, but their record since 1978 is less impressive. Only two other counties have now waited longer to win a trophy: Glamorgan and Gloucestershire. fairytale view. We cannot do anything- about Coventry. What we can do is make sure that the things we do, we do well.

My major concern is getting us prepared." The players he will prepare include only one with League experience, the much-travelled Paul McKinnon, once of Blackburn, a striker who plies his trade in Sweden every summer. McKinnon is partnered by Lenny Dennis, whose own summer experience includes a cap for Jamaica in a World Cup qualifier with the United States last year, and who has scored 19 goals this season, including two hat-tricks in three days in November. Otherwise Williams's side is largely unchanged from the one that came so close to an upset last January. Continuity and shared experience are themes close to Sutton's heart. Such traditional values may yet confound Speedie, Regis and co on Saturday.

has just gone to purse offers and should take place by mid-February. Graham's share of this match, Eastwood said yesterday, would be 35,000. They last spoke before Christmas, when a British Boxing Board of Control hearing ordered the 29-year-old Graham to fulfil the remaining three years of his contract, but Graham later threatened to take legal action, if necessary, to part company with Eastwood. "I have left word with Herol that we have got to get around the table and talk," said the millionaire bookmaker. He added that the WBA had warned him that if he could not resolve his differences with the Sheffield-based fighter soon it would give its next-ranked contender the title shot.

Graham Benn, brilliant boxer against lethal brawler, would be the biggest middle-, weight draw for years. "About 50 times a day I get people asking me when I will fight Graham," says Benn. "They even come knocking at my house." "My offer is positive and definite," said Maloney. "But if Graham becomes world champion before summer, it would be a 21b overweight match, because Nigel feels he is not ready for a world title fight yet." "If they met tomorrow I'd expect a record crowd of 30,000," said Eastwood. "But if Herol wins the world title first, we would be talking about a mega-fight, perhaps 75,000 people." wake of Blyth each crew member would be expected to contribute 14,850.

Unlike Blyth's voyage in British Steel, the first non-stop westerly circumnavigation, this race will call at three ports, Rio de Janeiro, Auckland and Mauritius, for about three weeks each. The course provides a shakedown leg from Southampton to Rio before the rigours of rounding Cape Horn against the wind and currents. "This is a race for the adventurous who want to sail," said Blyth, 47. "I can vouch for the fact that it will be an extraordinary experience." The 67-footers have been designed by David Thomas, arguably the most successful British architect of production yachts. semi-detached view of SUTTON United's spy thought Coventry had weaknesses after watching them lose and draw recently.

Then he saw them clout Sheffield Wednesday 5-0. The contents ot the Sky Blue dossier opened at Gander Green Lane last night are a secret for the moment be tween Sutton spy, Dave Wall, and their cerebral manager, Barrie Williams. Their players will be told, gently, about their third- round opponents later this week. It seems a low-key ap proach to Saturday's most flavoursome tie, one pitting the GM VauxhaU Conference club against the 1987 FA Cup Arsenal made odds-on for championship ARSENAL'S championship odds have been cut to an astonishing 2-1 on, after victory over Tottenham put them two ooints clear. Bookmakers stand to lose nearly 500,000 if Arsenal take tne title.

Arsenal manager George Graham may bring Paul Davis back into the starting line-up at West Ham in Sunday's televised FA Cup tie, even though the midfielder conceded he was still short of fitness after his nine-match ban. Graham has worries over Richardson, Davis's recent replacement, and Mar-wood, both with a virus. Glenn Hoodie has been voted best foreign footballer in France by the country's most respected sports magazine, the first British player to win the prize since it was inaugurated 20 years ago. France Football puts the Mo naco and England midfielder Hoddle ahead of West Germany's Karl-Heinz Forster (Marseille), with Yugoslavia's Mehmed Bazdarevic (Sochaux) third. In the magazine, Mark Hate- ley, Hoddle's England teammate at Monaco, said of the former Tottenham inspiration: He's a great player.

An incred ible dominating influence, the strongest I've ever seen and capable of obtaining a victory on his own and at the same time entertaining the public."

Prean rows on with Douglas JOHN PREAN and Desmond Douslas yesterday aired their long-standing differences by trading insults, after the chairman of the English Table Tennis Association had criticised the country's best-known player for not taking part in Monday's National Top 12 tournament, which drew 3,500 in prize money into the sport, writes Richard Jago. Douglas. 33, believes he must. now pick his events, and pre ferred to prepare for the forthcoming Europe-Asia matches.

By half-time, Rangers were 3-1 ahead and Celtic had lost McAvennie, their most menacing player this season. The striker broke his left arm as Butcher hit him in the eighth minute. He returned after a five-minute absence with a heavy strapping but he was replaced by Walker after only half an hour. Celtic had taken the field without McStay, whose hamstring injury failed to clear in time, but their manager, Billy McNeill, refused to accept these setbacks as an excuse.

He has no fewer than three mouth-watering offers, including a world title fight and a 200,000 challenge from Nigel Benn, on his Belfast desk awaiting Herol Graham's urgent attention. But the British middleweight champion is refusing to speak to his manager or answer his calls. Their disagreement, which stems from television fees Graham claims Eastwood still owes him, could now be very costly for them both.

The World Boxing Association has just notified Eastwood that it has overruled Bob Arum's world title unification fight between Sumbu Kalam-bay of Italy and the IBF champion, Michael Nunn of the United States, and ordered Ka-lambay to defend the WBA title against Graham immediately. Yesterday also brought the remarkable 200,000 offer from the London promoter Frank Maloney for Graham to defend his British title against Benn, the undefeated Commonwealth champion, at an outdoor venue in the summer, possibly West Ham United's Upton Park stadium in -Ume or July. The third offer is even more urgent: a European title challenge to the Frenchman Chris-tophe Tiozzo in Paris, which Sailing One-designs in Bob Fisher PLANS for a round-the-world race for one-design yachts beginning in October 1992 were announced yesterday by Chay Blyth.

There will be 10 identical boats, 67 feet long and built of British steel, with 12-man crews under invited skippers.
