Murray made the admission ahead of watching Garner and Forest bow out of the FA Cup at the quarter-final stage to Liverpool on Sunday evening. Diogo Jota netted the only goal of the game to seal a slender 1-0 win for the Premier League giants, securing them a semi-final showdown with Manchester City.

Forest, however, were excellent and had enough chances to win the game. Having beaten Arsenal and Leicester City on their way to the last eight, the Championship club had every right to fancy their chances of beating Jurgen Klopp's side.
