NOT MANY HAVE LASTED!
The panel on NBC think Liverpool are going to win
Earlier in the season, I would have thought United wouldn't have a chance....now.... They can do it! They might not but they COULD
Hiya, UWS - I'm back for the big one. I have to admit that I'm more excited for this one than I am for the League Cup Final later on. Am I wrong?
I've just noticed that Leicester have sacked Claude Puel after Leicester were hammered 1-4 by Palace. That was coming.
The Plonker Trinity on the mic for NBC of course....at lease City aren't playing
Yes you are but I will never dismiss any Cup Final
Good morning, Bob and Dave. Back from walkies on a cool, but pleasant morning.Probably the biggest United vs Pool match since SAF was in charge of United
I saw the Foxes vs Palace and a strange because despite the result it was a fairly evenly played match. I do understand why they sacked Puel
Great record for OGS that Dave posted. That list sure brings back memories.
Teams in the tunnel
Morning MUR
Teams in the famous tunnel at Old Trafford now.
Here they come
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Morning, MUR! Great to have you on board for this massive fixture this morning.
A lot of famous faces in the crowd
Giving a round of applause for Eric Harrison
A Moment's applause for the passing of Gordon Banks.
We're ready to go now. Let's have some fun!
Cheers Bob and Dave. Great to join your company on a big day
WE ARE OFF
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
They're off from OT
Oh - a hospital ball from Yashley has put De Gea in a spot of bother.
Young puts De Gea in trouble
I think the ref is calling an indirect free kick for De Gea using his hand
NOT A GOOD START!
PHEW! Horror back pass from Yash, but De Gea makes a close range block from Bobby F then collides with Mane as he clears
Ashley Young...get your finger out!!
Shot.. blocked
And after all that drama, we've got an indirect free kick inside the area.
Wasted by LUFC Academy. Straight into the wall.
That appears to be the case. Into the wall by Milner then out for a goal kick
What position does Fred play?
Is he defensive? Attacking?
Who knows... HE NEVER PLAYS
Milner's elementary school PE teacher officiating the League Cup Final
United have started very iffy
I think he's a defensive midfield player. I think he's a water carrier.
Definitely a test to see how far United have come under OGS
nICE COUNTER BY uNITED , BUT THE CROSS FROM rASH WAS OFF.
Wonder if the Gooner is cheering for Liverpool today
Furious pace to the opening of this match.
Stevie G can turn on the telly for this match...his side walloped Hamilton 5-0 away
Luton and Coventry drew 1-1 this morning
Arsenal take an early lead
The Gazette with the goal
I would imagine he is - a Liverpool result would be good for the Gunner.
I am sure he is
Arsenal have now gone above United into fourth
The Gunners take an early lead vs the Saints. Since it's not televised . I missed it , but read about it in La Cazette. Miki with the assist
Liverpool have overtaken City
Bob has gone from bottom to top!
A draw is not really good enough for United
We would be a point behind Arsenal and only two about Chelsea having played one more
United definitely need to win at Selhurst Park on Wednesday
Apparently, the Saints miss a golden chance at one end and then Arsenal race upfield and score
Quite a leap from Bob.
I get two extra points if Citeh win today
Of course, we do have Liverpool to thank for getting rid of Jose in December
Uncle Woy set a Premier League Record yesterday
Rashford might have a problem; Lindy up warming up.
Agreed. That was Jose's last match in charge. It's about time they were good for something
I missed Rashford problem....he's seems okay
I'm a master of the high jump, lads.
Come on Mata....keep the ball going forward!
That was good play by Herrera... Mata needs to release the ball and not cut back
You sure are, mate
Damn it... you're right
Rashford is hurt
WHAT A STUPID FOUL HERRERA!!
The ball was going to be cleared!!
Foul inside the D
Matip goes on a solo run off a short free kick and Herrera trips him in the D. A d challenge at best
Matip goes on a nosebleed run and is upended just outside the area. Free kick in a dangerous area.
ROW Q PLEASE
ROW H... that'll do
High, wide and 'orrible from Salah.
Free kick from Salah well over.
Miki has added a second goal for the Gunners.
The free kick from the D landed in Row D. That will Due
Sanchez and Lingard warming up for United
Just like PSG.... plans ruined by injury
Saints feeling like Miki Mouse after that second goal and will need some divine intervention.
Southampton go close twice in the space of a few seconds
Miki now with a goal and an assist
Southampton have done well....and are two down
Now Herrera's got a problem - wow!
BLOODY HELL!@ Now Herrera is down. Rash as well. It will be an uphill battle for United
Peirera to come on? That says it all about Sanchez!
Now Herrera on the ground
He's got a hammy problem!
GEEZ...just like PSG... two changes have to made!
This time inside 20 minutes
Saints like the Foxes yesterday
Play resumes and no changes yet
Herrera has come off being replaced by Pereira
Are United in trouble?
Herrera will be replaced by...Herrera? I'm confused.
Hendo offside to end a long Pool possession. Perreira on for Herrera
Lindelof tackles Salah for a Pool corner
The BBC says it is Rashford's ankle
Bob . it's the rhyming nature of the substitution that may have thrown you.
Looked okay there
Has Pogba touched the ball yet
Finally a cross by him... corner to United
Van Dyck concedes a corner as The Chunk is lurking at the backpost.
Van Dyke heads out for a United corner on a rare United attack
Now Mata is limping - what on earth is going on?
Rashford is going to come off... I think
Mata is now limping!
Pool counter off the United corner.
Shaw miss the tackle.. Mata tackles back well
Milner in the book for a tackle on Mata
LUFC picks up a yellow for a hack on Pogs as he was threatening to break.
On Pogba...no Mata
it ends due to a small Mata of a great tackle on Salah then Milner booked for a nasty challenge on Pogba
Now Liverpool have a man down
Are we watching MASH
Now Mata is down receiving treatment. Are you lads ready to strap the boots on?
I think Pogba had some good early touches then has been quite since until that nasty foul
LOL! Nice one, mate. There's been more physio action than goalmouth action in this one. The magic sponge is MOTM.
Lingard is coming on for Mata and not Rashford
That is two subs inside 25 minutes.... Is Rashford is going to continue
Lindy on for Mata. Meanwhile, Rashford limps on.
Hope Lingard is okay after his injury
YIKES! A large Mata of United injuries as Lindy is on as a sub. Only one substitution remaining for United
What a rotten start for United!!
Half way through this first half, I don't think we've seen a shot on goal.
Two players down the tunnel
Cross from Milner so far off that it's halfway to Leeds!
Cheers, Bob. Trying to lift the mood after the rotten luck United have had this match
McTomain called for a foul on Mane on what looked a shoulder charge.
Now Danny Sturridge warming up as Bobby F appears to be injured
Firmino coming off as well
Sturridge to come on
All these injuries... crazy
Looks like Danny Sturridge is going to come on for Bobby Firmino. When was the last time that we saw three first half substitutions for injuries?
Oliver Twist due for a case of Botulism after that unfair call on McTomain
Three injuries is highly unusual for a first half.
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
All these injuries have soured the mood
Danny Sturridge on for Bobby F
Rashford still looks uncomfortable
Sanchez to replace him too?
With all these injuries.... at least we won't have all those late substitutions
Pogba called for a foul on Wijnaldum
Good point, UWS. So much for no substitutions in a match, such as United vs the Cottagers
Naughty by Hendo on McTomain
It does seem smart to keep Rashford on if he can continue... Lingard is just coming back from injury...if he goes... down to ten!
At least the substitution have a reason other than wasting time and adding added time to added time
Surely that was a foul by Fabinho on Lindy that prevented a United counter. Not Fab officiating by Mike Oliver Twist
Hendo called for a foul on Pogba . How many more will Hendo get away with? That's all he's done this match.
Again, the PSG match was changed by the injuries
Same with this one....can't judge Ole with this
Pogba with a shot blocked
Another corner
Pogpants pulls the trigger but Van Dyck clears it with a superb header.
Pogba with a shot blocked off Van Dyke for a United corner off a pass from Rash. Corner headed away
They say Lingard is holding his hammy
LUFC has been rubbish in this first half. He had a great chance to cross there and just let it go out.
Another wayward cross from Milner as it ends a spell of sustained Pool pressure.
Learned that at Elland Road
United break... great pass by Lukaku... Lingard saved by Alisson.... Lingard hurts himself?
Oh - best move of the match. Lindy was played in but Alisson did very well. Lindy doesn't look good.
OH!!! Nice through ball from the Chunk, but Alison superbly rushes out to gather at the feet of Lindy. Superb United counter and best United move of the match
Lindy is down and out. Extraordinary. Alexis to come on.
Sanchez is going to have to come on for Lingard!!
GEEZ!!!
United have to make their third sub.... Lingard came back too early
BLOODY HELL! The final roll of the dice from OGS , all injury forced as the sub is subbed. Alexis on for Lindy
Did you lot do any training this week?
Sanchez...now is your time to become a United player!
Three players... straight down the tunnel!
Hope Alexis plays like Sanchez instead of Sayle or Carrington!
Good question, Bob. Not sure what happened between Tuesday and today
Pool corner headed over by Matip.
The first player injured, Rashford, is still on
Oh - The Chunk got in there to put a header on goal. Well saved. And he's fallen on Robertson who appears to be injured as well. Wow!
Sanchez gets a cross to Lukaku who has a header on goal.... pretty tame
Klopp frustrated by an injury...look at the other dugout Jurgen!
Nice play from Alexis as United were gifted possession . His cross was headed into the ground by the Chunk and straight to Alison. A Barber Shop quartet of stoppage time minutes
Robertson will be okay
Terence Trent Darby is warming up for Robertson.
Now a Pool player is down. Looks like Andy Robertson . there will be added time added to added time.
I'm going to do some stretches at half time. Watching this match is hazardous!
Play resumes as Robertson is back on.
This is absolutely a time where you can call this injury time and not added time
LOL! We all should so we can make it through both matches.
Gunners two up at the half thanks to those two early goals.
Agreed, UWS. It definitely is.
Lingard came back to early and will be out for a while now
I hope Rashford doesn't crock himself by keep playing
What will United be able to do in the second half
Could there be as many as half a dozen stoppage time minutes played?
Half time whistle goes. This match hasn't really gotten going for all of the injuries. Not a lot of football played yet. Hope that the second half is better.
First commercial break for this episode of MASH
Halftime and it was a quintet played. It's 0-0 at the end of a half that was a battle of attrition.
BOOM BOOM, UWS! Great description. Where are Hawkeye and Trapper John?
I guess you can Ole made a mistake of bringing on Lingard and not Sanchez
Matches on NBCSN on Tuesday and Wednesday are Newcastle v Burnley then Chelsea v Spurs
I am working till half time anyway
We are off for the second half
No changes for United at half time!!
Second half underway from OT!
Back on for the second half. How many players are we going to be left with on the pitch at the end?
The Wednesday match sounds more interesting than the one being shown on Tuesday
Rash is hurt...United are playing with ten already
Wonder who will be fit to play at Selhurst Park
COME ON MAN UNITED!
COME ON MAN UNITED!
COME ON MAN UNITED!
Sturridge nearly in from Mane's header. De Gea was sharp to it.
We may have to give a debut to an academy player or two at Selhurst
OGS will probably be forced to play Alexis on Wednesday
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
I want a flukey Leeds United type goal!
Fred get a start?
This feels like the kind of match that Shaqiri could add to. If Liverpool survive without any other injuries to the hour mark, he might be a good switch for Fabinho.
Merseyside derby next Sunday
Shut it Bob!!
Pogba with a header... weak effort... offside anyway
Oh - Pogba had a real chance there. Offside anyway.
OH! Free header for Pogba off the free kick straight to Alison, but the offside flag was raised.
Offside again
Time the runs better
Of interest to Bob will be the East Midlands Derby tomorrow.
Come on Sanchez... earn your dosh
United need to take advantage of these rare opportunities.
Hendo with a chance to cross... blocked
Definitely of interest.
Hendo free down the right and his pass is cut out by Perreira for a Pool corner.
Corner from Hendo headed away then United win a free kick do to strong defending
Liverpool have not been impressive against this makeshift United side
Pereira wins a corner
Let's go
Perreira wins a corner off of Fabinho off a slide rule pass.
oooh Rash almost in
Still hurting every time he isn't sprinting
Milner with a pass so far off that it made it halfway to Leeds with that cross from the first half.
Great tackle by Alexis on Sturridge
Oh - Rash has a chance at the backpost. Slices it badly.
Cross headed on and a volley by Rash is sliced wide.
