Liverpool have wrapped up a 0-5 slaughter of Watford on the morning of Claudio Ranieri's debut as the Hornets' coach thanks to a hat-trick from Bobby Firmino and one each from Sadio Mane and Mo Salah.
Liverpool are now top on 18 points from 8 matches.
I'll be watching the Leicester v. United match on USA and of course the Leeds match on The Cock.
The starting line-up for the Leeds today, as posted on the LUFC website:
Meslier, Shackleton, Llorente, Coop, Junior Firpo, Kal, Matty Klich, Stu Dallas, Raph, Dan James, Rodrigo.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Raph swapped out at the last moment, given his heroics in Brazil on Thursday night.
Good morning, Bob. We're at Elizabeth's aunt's house a little northeast of Atlanta. Will try to watch the match on USA.
The Hornets were really stung by a Red Tide, courtesy of the Three Amigos.
Morning, MUR - great to be with you this morning. I hope that you're still enjoying your trip to the East Coast. Any news on the house hunting?
Hi Boys
I had the Liverpool match on for a while....got fed up!
Kathy and I just finished our 2 mile walk... took us just under 30 minutes...I am all sweaty but will shower at half time
The coverage of the Soton v. Leeds match has started on The Cock. USA is still on what looks like a police drama.
The Cottagers move up to third place after defeating QPR 4-1 in a West London Derby. Baggies top after defeating Brum 1-0 in a West Midlands Derby yesterday
Morning, Dave! Great to have you on board. Hi to Kathy!
Good morning, Dave. Glad you and Kathy got in some exercise
Thanks,Bob. We signed a contract on a house Thursday and will get approved for the loan Monday.
Some last minute changes for us:
Junior Firpo is out so Stu Dallas slides in for him, Kal Phillips is missing, so Pascal Struijk takes his place, Raph isn't fit to play after his Thursday night match in Brazil where he scored two goals, so Tyler Roberts is in for him. And still no Lord Bamford up front.
Just tuned in Southampton Leeds on the Cock!
I was listening to 5Live on the walk.... Leeds won 2-0 last season in May.... Southampton have scored one goal at home this season....SO.... Leeds have outscored the Saints at St Mary's since May
USA joins just before kick off
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Get your fingers out!!
USA are finally on the match, as the players are kneeling. And we're underway in both matches now.
Glad to see Maguire back as we lose Varane
United trying and failing to bring the ball out from the back!
Why try when there are so many players there
Not happy to see Matic in for Fred.
I know Fred can't play because of internationals but pick someone else!!
Congratulations David!!!
Sancho better start earning his living today!!
Mags gets fouled...United take a quick one....WHY!!!
Struth....United survive....all comes from a quick free kick from United!
That's fantastic news, David. I'll look forward to seeing some photos of the new place.
As I said, Southampton has scored ONE goal at home this season.... it was scored by Fred!!
Salford takes the lead vs Jeff's lads
Move the ball quicker!!!
Let's hope that continues, Dave. I'll take a draw today; that's what my rubric says that we need today.
L1 leaders Plymouth are behind at Oxford
They are undefeated since the first day
Stu Dallas has given The Saints the first opportunity to swing in a free kick. Mark 'em up!
Thanks, Bob and Dave. It's on a street called Our Drive, so it will be called Our House. The theme song will be the Madness song, but Drive instead of street
Raphinha did Leeds proud on Thursday.
United really struggling....the defending is awful!
What was that clearance from Lindeloff...a little dink inside his own box
I posted the new Leeds mascot on my FB page.Bob should approve
Bet this doesn't happen much but both Celtic and Rangers are playing at 3 o'clock on a Saturday
Celtic are at Motherwell and Rangers are hosting Hearts in a top of the table clash
SHOOT THE BALL!!!
Great noise from the Leeds away fans. Lovely!
JHJ in Stoke tonight and then off the Scotland
Aberdeen and the Glasgow
Then it is Newcastle and Hull followed by the Corn Exchange in Cambridge
Tour is going great
Wycombe top of L1 as they take the lead at Donny Trump. Wigan second as they take the lead at Bolton
It would have been Tony's 68th birthday yesterday... still can't believe it
Glad to hear it, Dave - give Mike my best. Wish I could be at one of those shows.
Greenwood makes a positive run and has a shot....straight a Kasper
Tractor Boys take they lead at the Abbey while Argyle Sweater ties it up at Oxford Shirts.How fashionable
City lead vs Burnley
I saw that on Facebook, Dave - sorry.
I second that. Well done JHJ
I so wish United would flood forward with pace ALL the time
I've lost the coverage for a moment. Bloody Peacock!
Me too.My condolences. Dave
Thanks Bob.... Deb's Bookface?
Not a Big Club takes the lead at the Re Dons
Not much clicking for Leeds quite yet. We're just not playing like we did last season yet.
His birthday popped up on my notifications
Soton win the first corner of the match - mark 'em up!
Thanks
Kathy was so thoughtful.
She lit a candle for him and placed it next to the picture of me and Tony at the pub in Worlington
Phew! That was a free header for Brozier. He might have done better.
Not sure if it was posted but Weekend at Bernies gave Citeh the lead vs Burnley. Citeh second a point behind Pool.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FANTASTIC GOAL BY GREENWOOD
SHOOT!!!
Oh - Redmond pulls a great save out of Meslier. We're really under the cosh right now. Dangerous moment for us.
I found about Tony's birthday the same way Bob did. Very nice of Kathy
Struth...how did Leeds not concede there!!!
Oh - just about a repeat of the first corner there. Brozier got to it again but somehow it stayed out.
WAY HAY! Great news for United
We might easily be 1-0 down; come on, boys - pull your fingers out.
Now go and score FOUR more!!
Terrific strike from Greenwood - well done!
Get it in the box Shaw...how is that cross blocked!!
Brozier nearly in there again but Stu Dallas did well to get back. Corner.
Wycombe two up at Donny Trump. Oldham two up vs Stevenage and out of the drop zone on goal difference. Replaced by Carlisle who have a slightly inferior goal difference
I've got the Soton/Leeds match on the Cock and also just tuned in Goal Rush. The main match for GR is at the KP
Poor clearance there and Djnepo had a chance from the top of the box. Flashed it well over, fortunately.
England could have done with Greenwood on Tuesday night at Wembley....are you watching Gareth!!!
We just haven't got going yet. Come on!
Corner to United
Burnley had a one on one with the Steffan....the Yank won the duel
Corner comes to nothing
Half way through the first half - still haven't had a proper attack. Not happy.
This is the only window I will be on LOB today....gotta do some stuff around the house after these matches
I'm now watching on USA
First real attack there through Dan James. The final ball didn't come off.
All the media has told Leeds they are not allowed to be entertaining in the Premier League....they have to play it safe
Hate it
Sounds like Steffen did better than he did vs Costa Rica 🇨🇷
I'd take a goal against the run of play right about now.
Struth....Ricardo volleys it across the box...just wide of the post and just missing Vardy
Oh Volleyed just wide by Ricardo off a pass from Madison Avenue
United still not playing well...So dull
Ronaldo...saved
The Saints don't have their shooting boots on today - hope that continues.
OH!Kasper fumbles away a deflected shot from CR
Why didn't Sancho shoot?
Pogba with a rotten shot..must have gotten a touch
Corner
Headed wide by the ex-Fox
Pogba with a long range shot deflected for a corner. It should have been a goal kick
Both Manc sides the only two to score a goal as of yet in teh Prem
Half an hour gone now and The Saints continue to look dangerous. Not liking this match at all.
1-1...nice shot
ALLL BECAUSE OF UNITED'S PLAY AT THE BACK
SO PATHETIC!!
STOP PLAYING AROUND IN THE BACK!!
SO USELESS
Sorry, boys - Tielemans levels it with a lovely chip after some messing about at the back.
Tyler Roberts buys us a free kick. Time to bring the big boys up.
DAMN! TIELEMANS TIES IT UP WITH A WONDER STRIKE! MAGUIRE FELL ASLEEP OFF A PASS FROM DE GEA AND IHENACHO PASSED BACK FOR TIELEMANS CIRLED SHOT IN THE UPPER 90
I just don't get all this passing around the back
OGS continues to want to do it!!
Thanks, Bob we need to stop faffing about at the back
Oh - defensive lapse at the back again allows Brozier in; great save by Meslier.
Agreed, Dave. That didn't go on when we were at LHS
It drives me absolutely nuts!!
And another corner for the Saints now - mark 'em up!
Attack
Attack
Attack attack attack
Our front men are just not giving our defenders any respite. Saints just keep coming.
United should attack with pace EVERY time
They just play around with it in the back and midfield and then lose the ball
AGAIN!!!
Cherries one up at Ashton Gate and top of the Championship
NO ONE anywhere near the halfway line after that free kick
NO ONE!!
Rotherham on top vs Pompey.Sorry, Dave
Gils on top vs the Black Cats
Leeds passing too much too!!
James with a chance to cross....straight at the keeper!
He learned that at OT!!
Best move yet from us but Dan James wasted the crossing opportunity with one into McCarthy's arms.
PHEW! Just wide by Ihenachp.Foxes dominating
Here we go again.... going the wrong way!!!! Win a goal kick....wayhay!!
Coop has a problem now, down gripping his shoulder after that clash.
STILL trying to play out!!!
And lose the ball
A bit of a respite for us while Coop gets some treatment; he'll continue until at least half time.
More sloppiness by Maguire...straight out of play
Tractor Boys two up at the Abbey in the East Anglian Derby
Shaw fails to get the ball in the box again... Bruno made a great run!
Oh - Dan James nearly in there. We just need an opening.
Not much from Jack so far today.
United still on that undefeated run away from home.... could be in jeopardy today....because of ourselves!
Leeds first attempt of the first half...last minute of the half....high wide and orrible
Oh - nice turn from Tyler and he hit one from distance. Why not? Miles off though.
Argyle top of L1 as they lead 1-2 at Oxford. Cambridge pulls it back to 1-2 vs the Tractor Boys
One minute of stoppage time to come before Marcelo rattles the old teacups. It has been good enough.
United blow it again...could have done better with that break!
SHOOT
Ronaldo looks leggy today
That's it - we haven't played at all so far. I'm hoping that Marcelo can sort us out.
Norwich have an open goal to shoot at just outside the box... hits it too slow and it cleared!!
Awful miss
In added time...United have a chance to break... AWFUL pass by Bruno out wide to Pogba.....Leicester win a free kick with a foul by Bruno...RUBBISH
Bruno with a stupid foul at Maddison Avenue
Struth....just misses Vardy
1-1
BLOODY USELESS
PHEW!Training Ground Routine nearly comes off. Thankfully a miss kick by Vrady a yard in front of goal.Its 1-1@ the half
That's odd - we usually go through a strenuous workout at the beginning of the second half but today we've just trudged back out. Don't like the look of that.
No changes to either side so far.
They are off again on the south coast...still in the dressing room in the midlands
Phew! Saints had a good break but Djnepo squandered it.
So many times, the second half performance from teams is the same at the first!
Tyler picks up the first yellow of the afternoon. He'd be on my short list of players to replace in a few minutes.
We scored twice against these mugs at St. Mary's in the second half on the last day of last season. I'd take that again.
We are off
Bruno has to get going again...he has not been that good since Ronny arrived
Tyler buy another free kick for us now. Let's make the most of it!
United start like they played in the first half
Losing the ball in their own half.... survived!
All came from a Pogba pass that could have found Sancho but he went to Shaw instead
Ronaldo still looks leggy
STOP playing around in the back....DON'T THEY LEARN
Salasu has had Dan James' number all afternoon.
Great move by Harrison...shot blocked!
Oh - great run by Jack but his final shot was blocked. Better!
United are close to the top of the table but have played no body!
City, Liverpool and Chelsea have already played each other
Sorry mate
Just as we were starting to impose ourselves, Saints break and score through Broja. Bugger!
1-0
Back for the second half from the KP
Southampton goal comes from Leeds failing to cross the ball
Very sorry, Bob.
COME ON LEEDS!MOT!
United are a BORING team.... I can't stand it!
Bob, if you look at the picture of the mascot I posted on FB. he will bring Leeds good fortune
Marcelo will need to make some changes pronto.
Thanks, mate!
Another stupid free kick given away in a central dangerous position
Lindelof booked for a foul on Vardy just outside the United box
Mr President hits the wall and rebound deflected for a corner
We need to keep playing our game. The chances will come.
Free kick from Oscar Maddison into the wall then has a shot land in Row H
De Gea hits long!!!
Villa take the lead at home to Wolves
Now Struijk picks up a yellow for cynically breaking up a break.
Decent effort from Matic
OH! Cross headed out then a LOB range half volley from Matic inches over. Nearly a collectors item
Pogba is playing rubbish again!
He just doesn't do it for United enough times
USELESS effort of a shot and then fouls
He keeps just wanting to leave
Saints make the first change - Stuart Armstrong for Djnepo.
Villa now seventh. Danny Ings with the goal
Pompey equalize and then fall behind again!
Why did Vardy dive there!!
United can break....but they don't !
Oh - great ball in from Jack and Rodrigo wasn't far away.
Table topping Chrrries two up at Ashton Gate. Potters in the lead at Bramall Lane. Potters now third
Villa going in front helps us.
Sorry about that score, Dave
Come on, boys - keep pushing for the equalizer.
ANOTHER STUPID foul by Pogba!!
Rashford about to come on...I would think for Sancho....who has been invisible again
United are boring me to tears.
Black Cats have come from behind to lead 1-2 at the Gils
Rodrigo is on my fantasy team... yanked off
Poor ball over from Jack this time and Bielsa is going to make a changes. Rodrigo coming off and Forshaw coming on. I don't get that one - we need goals!
Good day so far for Glasgow and poor for Edinburgh
Hibs behind at home to Dundee Utd
Hearts behind at Rangers
Celtic lead at Motherwell
Rangers one up vs Hearts and are top by four points
Pogba doesn't seem to care about today's game
Saints press again but Llorente tracks back well. Corner. Mark 'em up!
United don't like to go forward!!!
What a shame that the goal came when it did - we were just starting to play a bit.
Dundee United two up at Hibs as are Celtic st Motherwell. Dundee United up to third and Celtic up to fourth
Struth...how did Ronaldo and then Greenwood not score?
Flag up late anyway
We've now got two defensive middies in Forshaw and Struijk, but no one up top! I don't get it.
Sancho is off
James.....hits it wide!!
GRRR
Oh - out of nothing, Dan James broke through and nearly scored. We needed that kind of luck.
Did a great job to win the ball.... and doesn't hit the target
Rash on for Sancho for his first appearance of the season
United lose the ball again building out...shot over the bar
United going east west again and south
So slow!!!
Ball NEVER gets in the box.....this is not how you should play the game
Wigan three up at Bolton. Rotherham lead Pompey 4-1.Sorry Dave
