Giorgi Mamardashvili impresses against Galatasaray
Mamardashvili met the challenge of Davinson Sanchez’s header with aplomb, diving to his right and just nudging the ball out of play with his fingertips.
“An outstanding save by Giorgi Mamardashvili. The athleticism to get down to his right-hand side is superb,” Warnock spoke on BBC Radio 5 Live (via BBC Sport).
Whilst it’s worth pointing out that Liverpool have had chances aplenty at RAMS Park, the visitors have so far struggled to make any count.
Barring their stand-in shotstopper’s heroics – which have been absolutely required amid some truly sub-par defending from set-pieces – we’d probably find ourselves down by another (if not two) goal.

Why is Alisson Becker missing for Liverpool?
The former Valencia goalkeeper steps in for Alisson Becker, with his Brazilian counterpart having suffered yet another injury blow.
Liverpool’s No.1 reportedly complained of some discomfort during the club’s open training session, and it seems the coaching staff have opted not to take any risks.
It’s understood that the issue in question is minor, so we’d expect to see the ‘keeper back in action for Liverpool for our hosting of Tottenham in Premier League action this weekend.
