s been a point of emphasis for Harsin.

Watford are preparing to face Liverpool on Nissan Super Sunday, and a trip to Anfield stirs Hornets strikers past and present in Tommy Mooney and Troy Deeney. Mooney scored his first Premier League goal at Anfield as newly-promoted Watford sealed a maiden top-flight win of the 1999/2000 campaign, while Deeney heads for Merseyside hunting his 100th goal for the club. Deeney became the first player in Watfords history to hit the 20-goal mark in three successive seasons, but can trace his success to early days at Walsall under Mooneys watchful eye. Ahead of Sundays clash, Sky Sports got the mentor and his protege back together to talk old memories and fresh hopes... Troy Deeney chatted with former mentor and Watford striker Tommy Mooney Tommy Mooney: Youve got a big game this weekend at Liverpool - a difficult game at any stage in the season. I remember going there in 1999 - we came out of the train station and the taxi drivers were laughing at us. Like lambs to the slaughter! they said. But we won 1-0; first win in the Premier League, my first goal in the Premier League - and at the Kop end. Troy Deeney: Im trying to get my 100th Watford goal there! So this is a big game for you personally, as well as the club.Its massive. We beat them at our place last year then we had them in the final few games of last season. They were kind of concentrating on the Europa League final and we were more or less packing for our holidays. We went there with not as much aggression as we normally would have and I came away feeling a bit disappointed. Premier League Vault | Liverpool 0-1 Watford 1999 Its massive playing in front of the Kop. Liverpools one of the few grounds - Newcastle, Villa, too - where Ive got a proper buzz. Its a completely different Liverpool team - theyre running everywhere, scoring goals - so its going to be a massive test but were coming into it on decent form ourselves and we know we can have a right good go because then its the international break.But you play at 100 per cent every week dont you?I try my best! Im not as blessed technically as some of the other guys but what I am good at is roughing people up and making it tough for people. Its about the team winning but if I can score at Liverpool, itd be quite fitting that you scored your first Premier League goal there and Im scoring my 100th. That Liverpool goal, was it your greatest goalscoring achievement? Current Hornets skipper Deeney is one goal away from his century for the club It was really special. Because it was our first win, thats great for the team, but as a Liverpool supporter as a kid, to get a goal and have a day like we did... You had the highs of that game but the season didnt pan out how you would have wanted personally, and Watford came straight back down. Do you look back and think, What if?You do at the time. I had a great week, scoring against Liverpool and Bradford, but then a few weeks later against Chelsea I injured my knee in a tackle with Marcel Desailly. I wasnt happy about it and Im still not! I missed seven-and-a-half months. It was difficult not being able to influence the dressing room and by the time I was fit, we were relegated. It was a difficult season but I played in the Premier League, scored, achieved what we did to get there. Theres a lot of pressure on the No 9, isnt there? Liverpool vs Watford November 6, 2016, 1:30pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass There is but its good fun. I obviously speak to you quite often and others who used to be in the game say, Enjoy it while you can. Its never been about financial reward, of course it helps, but youve always got the thought it could end tomorrow.I remember getting a call from Richard Money at Walsall asking if Id like to come and play for a season. Im 36, its near home, he said he had a young lad he thought I could help - very raw but works hard. What do you remember about that?I remember you were at Wycombe the year before and he made me do a report on you - great movement, gets to the back post, doesnt look the quickest! I was young and a bit naive then. Im still learning now but when you met me I was playing football on the estate with my mates. Mooney scored 65 goals in 288 appearances for Watford You werent really like a normal 19-year-old; Id seen a lot doing the big I am but you were like a sponge and you were respectful.Im a student, essentially. The games moved on a bit - the kids are getting a lot more money - but the grounding I got made me focused and appreciate what Id got. I might not have wanted to carry on if it wasnt for all those lifts, though!Its your hard work thats got you through. It pains me to say it but youre probably more popular than I was as the Watford No 9! How do you assess the season so far? Watford 1-0 Hull Were doing alright. Weve been told about the second-season syndrome. Hopefully we can finish higher than last season but its a case of getting to 40 points as quickly as possible. The new manager is a bit old-school; he likes people getting kicked in training! He likes the intensity. I love him. He keeps it really professional and if the standards drop, like they did against Burnley, he picks it right up. Its a different style of training but I think the boys have adjusted now.As a former centre-forward Im not going to ask what your goal target is because that used to annoy me, but the way the team are playing, are you still confident there are goals there for you? Football Score Centre Sky Sports customers can watch Premier League goals and highlights every weekend at no extra cost. Yes. I think the one thing weve got this season is goals all over; last season it was just me and Iggy (Odion Ighalo). Etienne Capoue, Roberto Pereyra are scoring, Daryl Janmaat doesnt get as much credit as he deserves and has a few goals in him. This year Ive got my eye on the goal record.I dont think Im going to be in the position to have loads of trophies in my career but Id like to be able to say I was the third, second-highest goalscorer for Watford. I might have a tough time catching Luther Blissetts 186, though!I havent scored at Anfield. Like Old Trafford or the old Wembley, its got that prestige. My nan is a Liverpool fan, so I hope I can do it there and write my name into history but also do it on a massive stage against a team thats flying. Deeney spent four years at Walsall with Mooney also at the club in the 2007/08 season Ignore the tax drivers! Enjoy the atmosphere and the anthem. Its spine-tingling but when the whistle goes its down to work. Whats the secrets to winning at Anfield? Im not sure there is one.From our point of view, you cant fear them. Theyve got some brilliant footballers so you have to have a bit of respect but on the day youre just 11 footballers versus 11 footballers. I know if Im a handful its going to take more than one of them to stop me.Watch Tommy Mooneys chat with Troy Deeney in the build-up to Liverpool v Watford - 2.15pm kick-off - live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 1.30pm on Super Sunday.

BOISE, Idaho -- Boise State has a long way to go if it wants to crash the New Years Six bowl party, but the Broncos did what they needed to do Saturday night to check off another win and keep its early-season momentum rolling.Jeremy McNichols accounted for 226 all-purpose yards, including 132 yards rushing and a 61-yard touchdown reception, to lead No. 24 Boise State to a 21-10 victory over Utah State.Having (McNichols) on the field is fantastic, Boise State quarterback Brett Rypien said. He can do so many different things because hes strong in a lot of different areas.McNichols offensive prowess was on full display Saturday night, but he was almost overshadowed by wide receiver Cedrick Wilson. Wilson threw a touchdown pass to McNichols and hauled in a 36-yard touchdown pass from Rypien.The Broncos (4-0, 1-0) led 7-3 at halftime before taking control in the second half with a pair of touchdown passes by Brett Rypien and a stout defensive performance.I think there were some demons we needed to exorcise, especially on the offensive side of the ball, and we did that, Boise State coach Brian Harsin said, whose team lost 52-26 last season to Utah State. But when your defense plays well, thats always exciting. I certainly get fired up when we play well on defense like we did tonight.McNichols, who was named the Mountain West Conference offensive player of the week for his performance against Oregon State, continued to power the Broncos.His 61-yard touchdown reception on a pass from Wilson gave Boise State a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. In the fourth quarter, Boise State turned to McNichols to grind out the clock and secure the victory.Utah State (2-3, 0-2) didnt get the help it received last season in its win over the Broncos when Boise State committed eight turnovers.I thought our defense played well, but the culture around Utah State now is that we gave up too many points, Aggies coach Matt Wells said.Utah State failed to score on Boise States lone turnover when it recovered a muffed punt at the Broncos 25. After the Aggies offense stalled in the red zone, Brock Warren pushed a 32-yard field goal attempt wide left just on the final play of the half.What hurts you is you miss thaat field goal and you know its going to come back to haunt you, Wells said.dddddddddddd. And sure enough, it came back to haunt us.With leading rusher Devante Mays out with a right knee injury, Utah State struggled to mount any sustained drives on offense. The Aggies were held well below their 26.2 points per game average and narrowly avoided their first game without a touchdown since 2012.TAKEAWAYSUtah State: The Aggies will have to readjust their goals in Mountain West Conference play moving forward. Back-to-back losses to division front runners Air Force and Boise State along with a remaining tilt with San Diego State puts a serious dent in Utah States hopes of emerging out of the Mountain Division and playing in the conference title game.Boise State: The Broncos took a big step toward solving their second-half woes, which has been a point of emphasis for Harsin. Against both Washington State and Oregon State, Boise State was outscored in the second half and struggled to maintain its big lead. But against Utah State, the Broncos surrendered only one drive of more than four plays and outscored the Aggies 14-7 in the second half.POLL IMPLICATIONSPlaying in its first game since cracking the Top 25 for the first time this season, Boise State looks to rise this week after five of the seven teams directly ahead of them lost. The Broncos will likely also become the highest-ranked Mountain West team after No. 19 San Diego State lost to South Alabama.UP NEXTUtah State: The Aggies stay on the road to face division foe Colorado State on Saturday.Boise State: The Broncos have a shortened week to get ready for a divisional road game at New Mexico on Friday.COSTLY TARGETUtah States Anthony Williams was ejected for targeting near the end of the third quarter after hitting Boise State punt returner Akilian Butler as he was preparing to catch the ball. The officials on the field initially flagged Williams for kick-catch interference, but the replay official reviewed the play and ruled it more egregious.---AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
