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.
Fantastic manager. Feel we missed out badly here.
Chelsea feel like Liverpool did in 17/18. Except instead of a solid attack, they have a solid defence. A prolific goal scorer could have a Van Dijk impact on them.

Chelsea made the important call when a top manager was available. It sickens me how poorly we are run by an inept board
Yeah Lampard was doing terribly with that squad.
Well well well
Definitely. We need to be more ruthless with managers.
NOW I can give him full credit. He has pep in his pocket, deserved winners.
I feel those two finals tell quite a story as managerial positions are concerned.
They've got their reward for replacing a former player with a top tier manager who knows what he's doing.
Safe to say he's done a pretty good job.
In fairness, you could see the difference in how well they were coached very quickly anyway.

I said we should have gone for him
quite some new manager bounce, that
What a fecking masterclass that was, and there were people here actually saying he didn't improve Chelsea that much. 
Absolutely controlled a CL final from start to finish. Tactically they were geniuses. Work rate they ran their socks off the entire game.
He made them the same old Chelsea. A non stopping machine.

It shows that having a top manager who got the job because he is good at his job is more important than having a club legend who knows the club if you want to have succes.
I think it was more to do with upgrading on managers more then their transfer window. Especially when most of the players they signed haven't had that big of an impact.
Cheers, Kun's crying
You beautiful German bastard.
This is what abandoning sentiment & getting a proper manager does. This should be us!

A cup team. Congratulations.
Ah, so this will be the agenda. Strange how their signings have been mostly failures and their fortunes only reversed once Lampard was sacked for a proper manager.
We've really missed a trick here not getting Tuchel.
They got their reward for hiring the right manager, we have spent much more than them in the last 5-10 years.
Agree
PSG must be feeling sick
Do not disagree
Give that man an extension!!!
Class tactics by Tuchel.
Never been happier to see another team win.
He really has been a revelation for Chelsea. I wonder how many ex players they have in coaching staff though.
I thought you needed to have form going into a final?
So turns out the best method was the opposite of what we did. We spent our money on youth and players that didnt feature much this season and we stuck with our old boy Ole.
Chelsea outspent the premier league teams for players to come straight into the team and when Lampard couldnt get the new signings going, they signed the manager that was in the champions league final last year and their reward is winning the champions league

Defended like bastards.
Classless to sack a club legend who knows the club and was stabilizing it after tumultuous times under Conte and Sarri. A few more transfer windows and I think they would’ve been there or thereabouts under Frank 
Reminds me of some other german coach who took over midseason and won the CL.
I guess at this point you just need to hire an unemployed german coach in the middle of the season to win the CL.
Qatar Saint Germain must be feeling pretty gutted at firing this guy and replacing him with Pochettino.
They have an owner that's in it to win.
The mad lad actually won the CL.
The job he's done since coming into Chelsea is incredible. They had a solid squad but holy shit, without having a star attacker, a world class player in Kante and then solid around them... deserved champions league winners.
Chelsea have European pedigree, City don't. Can't underestimate that.
Credit to Tuchel, he has galvanised that squad.
