Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock took aim at Liverpool rather than his team after the Premier League side were stunned by third-tier Gillingham in the FA Cup third round on Saturday.
Elliott List’s well-taken late winner ensured the day’s biggest surprise occurred at Gillingham’s Priestfield Stadium.
Warnock can now turn his attention to trying to keep Cardiff in the top flight, but his hopes of signing Liverpool fullback Nathaniel Clyne were dashed when the player opted to join fellow top-flight club Bournemouth on Friday.

“We’ve almost agreed terms for one particular player, but I was disappointed with Nathaniel Clyne,” Warnock told the BBC.
