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.
We need to play with a way higher line if we want to bring the press to every game. We're leaving too much room for our players to cover.
Matic is abysmal. Garner will be a better choice even at 17. Half the Caf would have played better
His back hurts
Matic is so poor
de Gea and Matic both at fault for the goal
I'm tempted to turn over to the American commentary for this. It can't be worse than these two.
Open the roof let the atmosphere in
I saw the tweet and it wasn't that bad. Nothing worse than the Lingard and Rashford posts from the summer. I think he's a useful player and I hope he stays though the idea of Dybala is enticing if true.
Feels like the same old. We concede & suddenly the heads go as does the confidence.
It’s always going to be difficult to press with Mata & Andreas playing but this is something we could see often this season so it needs to work.

feck sake! watching Matic in possession is cringing
Please send me a link. Watching in silence now
jesus christ matic staring at the pass to shaw for 10 seconds, shocker he loses possession and is then bypassed easily when he "presses"
Bloody hell Matic come on
Coaching?Why are United still not capable of playing triangle passes. Every other team does
We need more attackers as well.
No playmaker in the line up. Player are appearing clueless. Just random passing.
You mean they got out of Park
Let's be honest about it. That team currently on the pitch is a mid table outfit.
This midfield lacks serious creativity.
Is the new "high intensity - high pressing" gaming style we have been practising?
And has our poor fitness from last season been solved?

Matic is going to be a real hindrance this season. No way should be be starting PL games for us.
Both.
De Gea with the same hospital pass he gave Fred in a game last season, that cost us a goal.
But Matic's touch was poor, he was slow and he has the turning circle of a bus.
Our attacking play has no fluidity. We just rely on individuals.
...
What a dull slow game. We look out on our feet.
Midfield is non-existent
Mata matic pereira...its all so slow.

Matic gives away the ball so cheaply. Should be nowhere near our starting 11 this season.
Isn’t mata supposed to be a playmaker ?
Matic and Mata as two of the 3 in midfield is killing us. Both have been dreadful. Slow motion thinking.
Sorry if I'm being stupid but why would this be bad?
Matic, Mata and Pereira really stinking the place up.
Looks like we are gassed and i dont see any improvement
Nothing new then
Rashford
No midfield presence for us at all so completely unable to dictate the tempo or build cohesive and patient attacks.
We began that way but have reverted back to last season’s style. It’s mostly the unbalanced lineup.
Matic has been dispossessed about 5 times already.
They finally realized their best strategy is to just swarm Matic when he gets the ball
FFS don't play Matic in the first team.
I honestly feel like we have played too many preseason games I don't know why. I hope this isn't going to affect our fitness comes the end of the season.
Don't worry, we just need to get fitter so that our players can cover even more ground!
Matic is about 10 minutes off the pace
