Liverpool vs United - what result suits us best?

[Coatigan]

City come first though. I remember at the 2019 league cup final everyone watching the Utd/Liverpool game in the concourse beforehand was desperate for Liverpool not to score. If United had lost that game then we wouldn’t have won the title.

I've seen liverpool fans desperately wanting utd to beat us when they had a shot at the league, in the final stretch of our 98pt title. And the old school ones hate them almost as much as we do. Similarly, seen them willing everton on that same season against us, desperately also late in 2014 as well, in that game dzeko went for a nap on the floor (and scored that header too, obvs).

Seeing utd lose would be good, but i'd still rather take keeping liverpool at bay or getting a wee gap between us, long term.

A fair few make a draw sound really good and convincing, and might be the best of all worlds. I just can't shake the feeling that every point liverpool drop is going to be big.

edit. Besides if utd should by some stretch go on to sustain a title challenge, it would feel that bit sweeter when we pip them to it after they and the media get the hype and hope up. Having also pipped the mighty liverpool to it as well in the same season.

And I do believe in our lot!

A rag win over liverpool at Anfield would spur them on for the rest of the season imo, so it's a draw or dipper win for me.

Cannot say I gave a shite about that game, was busy drinking and eagerly awaiting our match.

Also that game was feb and the result had no special effect on the season any more than others, liverpool could have won and then lost the next as a change in the result may have had a different effect on the season after that and no one can say if that result was different it would have meant they won the league, unless you can traverse alternate timelimes and see there outcomes.

Would never wish them doing us a favour

Rags are and always will be cunts, their utter despair and humiliatin is all they should suffer weekly, 0-0 draw with a few red cards this weekend or humiliation for the swamp dwellers.

Draw, injuries , red cards and lots of agro between the two benches.

Whichever result suits us, so a Liverpool win.

Can't they both lose?

Are you from Burnley by any chance?

Good Morning Britain (yes, I know!) have just dedicated 10 minutes to this game, calling it ‘the biggest rivalry in football’. It’ll be unbearable by kick-off.

Does a draw mean you have to do a bit of both?

My mind changes on this one every day. Before I was of the opinion that we need Liverpool to drop as many points as possible as they are still the bigger threat, I don’t care what anyone says. But now I am being lured in by the fact that if it’s either a draw or a Liverpool win, City will be top on Wednesday if we beat Palace and Villa (albeit Villa could be postponed).

A nil-nil draw.

To be fair nil -nil is usually a draw :-)
