Liverpool vs Manchester United Monday Night Football on the COCK


 Liverpool vs Manchester United used to be the greatest rivalry in English Football. Now there is a tremendous gap between the two clubs. It's only the third match of the season , but United look to be fighting a relegation battle this season while Liverpool have drawn their opening two matches of the season . Last season Liverpool did the double over United defeating them 9-0 on aggregate. It would not be surprising to see results this season, but you never know. Join me for the match on the COCK if you can

According to Charles Darwin, Nunez failed in the Survival of the Fittest and as a result his con sequence is a three match ban

3:04 PM

Rash put through but took too long to shoot and his shot was blocked

3:05 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Harry Maguire deservedly benched today. Varane starting in his place Bobby Chompoers in for the suspended Charles Darwin Nunez

Afternoon, David - thanks for getting us going. I'm still trying to get the link up and running.

The tackle was won by McTomain and Alison was poisoned as he was caught out of position

3:16 PM

And now Jamie Milner and Virgil are having an argument about the goal. What a mess Liverpool are in.

3:16 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'm onto the Peacock stream now - cheers!

3:17 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nice one touch passing then the assist came from Elanga tased to Sancho who dummied Milner then shot past Alison

3:18 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A mistake on my part is that the match is from OT , not from Anfield

3:18 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

United move up to 14th place while Poolis down to 16th place. Wolves replace United in the drop zone

3:19 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A discouraging stat is that this is the seventh Prem match run a row Pool have fallen behind . They're undefeated the previous six times

3:19 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Sancho played Rash through and that might have been number 2.

3:20 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great block by Joe Gomez Addams . Pool looking more like Morticia. Klopp will be like Grizzly during his halftime talk

3:23 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

TTA gets burned for pace by Elanga and picks up a yellow for his trouble. Ericksen can float one in.

3:25 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Stupid shirt pull by TAA on Elanga just outside the United box

3:25 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Eriksen went for it and Alisson had to tip it around. Liverpool really on the rack. Great stuff!

3:25 PM

3:31 PM

Casemiro, the new United signing , in the executives box. I'm guessing he'll replace McTomain in the starting lineup

3:32 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

If this result holds up, United will leap out of the relegation zone to 14th and Liverpool will drop to 16th. I love how unpredictable this season has been!

3:33 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

How do you feel about the Casemiro signing?

3:34 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I think it's a good signing and will make United more solid in the middle of the pitch. I',m surprised United were able to sign a player of his quality giventhatthey're not in the CL this season

3:37 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - cleared off the line by Martinez! Somehow scrambled away. United's lead survives somehow.

3:42 PM
