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.

I hope LVG can get at least two more Liverpool wins before his departure. Only good thing he has brought us in his time here. My fear is that will come to an end sooner rather than later. Our last win against the scousers was far from convincing but Liverpool are as unpredictable as we are so who knows.
Well they're not injured because they are playing right now in a reserve cup game. Pretty strange to omit them from the squad giving our lack of attacking options. I'm not sure if they're being punished or what but we needed them vs West Brom.this liverpool side is unbelievably shit, any of SAFs united sides would tear it to pieces and dick the corpse
sadly atm were unbelievably shit too but at least they occasionally look bothered whereas we practically never do anymore
think it'll be 2 pretty shit games. yawnfest of a 0-0 at their place, slightly better but ultimately crap score draw at ours.
united out at the end of it
We beat Ferguson's United with worse sides than our current lot. United rarely played well at Anfield under SAF.
Both sides are very poor at the moment though.I have a really good feeling about this one.
Basically, I think the only thing stopping a solid victory here is DDG (again, again, again).I think we'll get through this tie and I'm expecting Mata to play well.
West Ham in the cup concerns me more to be honest.Not looking forward to this.I think our luck will run out against them. But I hope they prove me wrong. Hopefully we can nick a goal at Anfield and Depay can continue the form shown in Europe.Odds on Mata putting in a two footed lunge on Henderson?
I reckon we'll lose by a goal.I can see disaster looming - I reckon we'll be out before we go back top Old Trafford.
Nah, it needs to be 3-0 or more if you want it to be over after the first game and that's just not going to happen. I reckon we'll scrape out a win but more likely it'll be along the likes of 2-1 or something like that. Going to Old Trafford without having conceded at home would be brilliant.
I forgot Januzaj had played for Dortmund in this already, I'd put Pereira on the right then as I think Rashford needs the bench.
I just saw the report of the game. It is a strange one. He has promoted the other kids over them completely. As though he is trying to prove a point and he doesn't consider those two as his kids.
Would go with the same, Rasher as a supersub, why is lingard out btw, is he injured or picked yellows?I'd rest Blind, drop Carrick and Darmian, and play Mata, he's got a performance in him to make amends for today IMO. Lingard being out is a blow, his hard work and the fact he gets that this rivalry transcends the Europa League would have been handy, as you never know what Memphis you'll get.
I'd go with this;
Yeah, he's suspended for the first leg.I refuse to predict a Scouse victory, 2-1 United
Our first team players (players who lost/drew every game in December) are returning, which means that we will play the boring, possession, side/back passing football we are used.
It is strange that our U21s team is better than our first team, but that is what we seem to be seeing.
If you want us to play like during that 4 game winning run, we'd need to bring back as many U21 players as possible, as they have been infected with the LVG philosophy. But bear in mind, if they continue to play under LVG, they'll eventually be infected and will perform exactly like our first team players.
And before anybody says that LVG has faith in youth - he doesn't. He'll exclude a well performing youth player and replace him with a poor performing first team player, at the first opportunity.Last edited:The usual caf doom and gloom before a big game despite history telling us strangely that's when we're at our best.
We were all expecting a trashing against Arsenal just last week.
I've consulted my oracle and it's going to be a 2-2 draw at Anfield, we sneak it 2-1 at OT.We will most likely get smashed
Is Fosu-Mensah not registered to play in the EL?
Edit* He's not, that means either Riley gets a chance, Darmian plays at LB or Blind continues to trudge on without rest.Last edited:I hope I'm wrong but I fear we may get a bit of a tonking here but then I thought that when we played the arse.Based on Liverpool's decent results recently, especially the City game, you can see a good home win is likely. However, two legs creates an additional consideration which can affect a team's approach. Think it'll be cagey.De Gea
Darmian--Smalling--Blind--Rojo
Schneiderlin--Herrera
Pereira--Mata--Memphis
Martial
Yeah I forgot that Fosu-Mensah is ineligible too. I hope Borthwick is back otherwise it will have to be Blind at the back, unless we start Riley LB or Poole at CB.Last edited:
Meh, it's Liverpool, even with their great form they'll find a way to make it difficult for themselves against us.
Read that rule carefully.Need to be at the club for at least 2 years.
Not the end of the world if the result is 2-1 or 3-2 to them.
Have a feeling we'll draw 1-1 in a tight match.Think Mata will play well.I won't start Rashford (Should have rest him against WBA though), the teenager has never experience playing 4 or 5 games in 2 weeks before.Quietly confident for this one.United will probably sit back and invite liverpool on to them, and then hit them on the break. Need to defend well, and take chances when they come.
It's a Euro away not a glorified PL fixture so we have to approach it in that way. They'll be bouyed by their recent wins and we will be the opposite after the reverse against WBA so it makes for an intriguing contest. I can see a draw here and a win at OTThe only thing I'm certain about, from a Liverpool POV, is that we 100% must take a lead to OT to stand a chance.If we can't look like we give a shit for this one, then when can we? I'm going for a 0-0 and a nervy 1-0 at OT.
Origi & Firmino or Sturridge & Coutinho?
At Anfield? Cou Firmino & Sturridge. I'd go something like this...
Sturridge
Milner Firmino Coutinho
With Milner being the more defensive of the three, and the others moving around fluidly. We'll need Milner to drop back and cover Moreno, because if LVG has any sense, he'll target the right wing (our left side) with everything he's got.
Edit: Scratch that...
Actually, with Lucas out, I expect us to go 4-3-3.Liverpool are inconsistent, but on their day and if the opposition isn't careful, they can demolish teams. That said, we've done great against the bigger teams under van Gaal. I expect a 1-1 draw.
The real disaster will be the funereal atmosphere of the second leg if Liverpool tonk us three or four in the first game. It could be unprecedentedly bitter. Will be the first time I've watched a match wearing a full balaclava. And holding a _______.Last edited:- Status
