... From a shit/ scruffy Mane effort that was going over.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Lack of concentration for one goal. Poor positioning for another.
I'd not mind having Bielsa as our manager if Ole doesn't work out.
Got to admit, Leeds are super exciting to watch. On the other hand, Pool have been shite and could potentially suffer a lot this season.
What a goal by Leeds. This is some watch!
Called it right. Fully expected Leeds to run the Pool properly ragged. Leeds' early opponents will have a real tough game on their hands, before they inevitably peter out. Brilliant game of football.
Superb effort from Leeds so far. Awaiting the Qpr v city late fall apart though
This is not about "having a go" at them.
Leeds are very well drilled. Pressing hard and as a team and creating traps to regain possession in defensive regimes, and very smooth transitions.
How many other teams can manage that?
Watch the Leeds goalkeeper throw the ball into the net in the 93rd minute....
Or Salah or Mane dive for a penalty
Or Salah or Mane dive for a penalty
Exactly this, they are there to be had but get too much respect.
Expect them to lose a fair bunch this year.
Leeds are doing a phenomenal job though. Their players are very technical and are used to pressing like this. It's not something other teams can just switch on after a couple of sessions.
Lets see if Liverpools luck from last season continues and they get some jammy winner
It’s not about teams going at them which teams always do but it’s more Liverpool capitalizing on their mistakes and scoring easy goals. They did it so much lasts season.
In what world is that not a booking?
Its easier said than done, but if you do have a go at Liverpools defense they look a bit shaky, it nullifies 2 of their main attacking threats as well
I think it's more than that. The intensity of their pressing game caught up the to whole team. The front and midfield didn't press as efficiently high up the pitch as 2 seasons back. Teams can now here and there play through their pressing, thus challenging their defense. VVD was never that great organizing a defending for your life set up. He was great when opposition played into Liverpool's hand and to his advantage/ strong points
Exactly. Have a go means nothing.
Biesla is a great coach. Poor manager, sure but as long as he doesn't fall out with the players/board, his teams are so much better than the sum of their parts.
Put your mortgage on it. I have.
Jones needs to learn from Mane or Salah about the art of engineering contact and diving.
Wow, a Liverpool player getting booked for a cynical tactical foul 
Manbun United doing pretty well up front in the season opener.
Anyone watching? How is Kalvin Phillips playing, please?
They're very well-drilled. Coughing up cheap goals may hurt them this year but their workrate and purpose is to be admired.
Phillips a whisker wide from a. FK.
Hopefully this doesn't encourage Liverpool to make signings. They look a bit thin on paper if Salah or Mane get injured
i'm going for a weak shot squirming under the body
He's been imperious. Looks class.
Just missed a freekick. He's done ok I think, he's looked full of poise on the ball and has shown for the ball well.
Disallowed goal for Liverpool
G'wan, twat him
VVD is such a cocky, gobby shite.
Mane didn't realize straight away which was great
I think United, amongst others, should be very happy to avoid Leeds on the first day of the season. Obviously setting a pace they will never, ever continue, but still. If they can score three at Liverpool, they would do the same against United. Now everyone’s warned
Leeds are suicidal here.
Leeds could steal this on the counter.
Klopp too in his Make Liverpool Shite Again cap
a decision against Liverpool? What is this trickery?
They'll still win
They'll still win
Leeds lose the ball in their own half more often than not. Going to pay for it so often at this level.
