In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
That's beautiful, hopefully more journos get on his back and he cracks up.
That was obvious to anyone with a footballing brain. They're a good side Liverpool, but they have big flaws in their squad at the moment, been the case for a number of seasons really and that will always hold them back. They're in a similiar situation as City, very good attacking players that can carry the team for 70-75% of games, but when it really matters their defense lets them down.
Could've sworn Caulker's first few games were him coming off the bench to play as an emergency striker too...
I'd say it's probably a poor spell of form. Away to United was always going to be a tough fixture for them (as it should be ideally for any side), and his Liverpool sides have always been patchy at best in games they're expected to win.
They'll hit form again at some point no doubt, but they're too poor and inconsistent at the back to win the league. Could have a point re a lack of depth though...will maybe need to address that in the summer, although if they get CL football you'd expect them to bolster anyway.
HOOF
I really, really hope a journalist points out his hypocrisy regarding long balls.
In a weird way they're very similar to Rodgers' 2013/14 side...albeit without one individual as good as Suarez, and probably with a better team than that one was. As you say very strong in attack, but weak at the back and inconsistent.
Agreed. If you look at it logically this is the case. Still when they are your main rivals logic goes out the window-you always tend to think the worst.
Not a full season - not all competitions. In no season.
12/13 they had their problems in the league finishing 25 points behind Bayern.
11/12 they had their problems in the league and in the CL until winter and made a nearly spotless run afterwards.
Why did Klopp get rid of Joe Allen and replace him with Winaldi?!
Tracksuit man getting found out. Welcome to the Premier League, Deidre.

Jumped the shark in season 2 and never been the same since.They will release a DVD of the 27th season of the hit sitcom show: Next year is our year. They say episode 22 is hilarious, involving guest appearance from Paul Clement, added with some cool technological effects of long balls. Can't wait for it.
It's such an upset that BT basically sent their B team to Anfield to cover it
Well at least Liverpool have an easier schedule in the second half of the season
Karma at its finest.
He looks rattled and a total hypocrite now.
Wonder who's fault it will be this time eh.
They played long balls at home against Swansea.
He's the biggest prick.
I hope he has something to say about that anti-football team at anfield playing long balls.
The miserable, egotistical cockwomble that he is.

Klopp: They're were not long balls. They were long passes.
Eh i'd hardly call what they did last week game raising. Got a goal because Pogba had a mental lapse jumping for the ball.
Haha
Where are all the resident Liverpool fans?
I hope he's asked about the two goals they scored that shouldn't have stood
Was it just the media though, Klopper?
Yeah, exactly! Last season it was a regular sight to see.
I don't imagine we'll see them for a while.
You won't find a post from me suggesting that we could win it...*shuffles uncomfortably*Was it just the media though, Klopper?
Massaging their necks
Not referring specifically to last week. More that they're top of the little top 6 mini league when it's only games against other top 6 teams, but bottom when it's the other 14
Always good to see them lose, especially at home to relegation zone scrappers, but in a way, that result makes it all the more frustrating that United couldn't beat Liverpool at OT last week. Still, presents the chance to make up some ground at the top if United win at Stoke now.
If we drop points they'll all log back on at 5
Ah they didn't bring up his massive hypocrisy in the post match interview there.
Cowards.
Cowards.
It was at this moment that Klopper76 went back and stealth edited his posts about the game.
Fair enough - didn't release how far off the pace they were in the league when they reached the CL final.
Both of Firmino's?
Hypocritical twat
You can just feel that he'll say something stupid again and the delusional scouse faithful and their lapdog journalists will cry-wank to that
Thread title
Aye.
Pushed Olsson out of the way when he scored the first. Arm in the back, clear foul.
Handball by Wijnaldum on the second.
Plus: Klavan should clearly have been sent off for elbowing down Llorente through on goal on a yellow. Bottle-job by Friend.
I guess we won't see any public campaign to retire Kevin Friend, though.
