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 keep telling people we are no better since Bruno signed, and have arguably regressed even, but people can’t understand that whilst he is racking up the goals and assists.
Well take a look at the last three matches.

Worst thing is Palace were comfortable, that's the most damning part.
Pressure on = dropped points

Dean Henderson our best player.
Our outfield players offered absolutely feck all.

Terrible form and performances since Sheffield United game. Almost like we're in another one of those dogshite spells under Ole again. Don't want to kneejerk or anything. It's only been about 8 games. Give it another 8 and we'll see.
Listen, no one was good enough, Rashford and Greenwood have been poor for a while, Cavani not ready to be back but why start some of them when James has been good of late, Diallo is an unknown, worth trying? Why wait so long for subs?
Meh.
Not losing is a positive thing in this foggy night.
Otherwise, we could do better. Lot of players could do better.

Ole needs to go as soon as we can find a capable manager, he is not taking us anywhere
They all need to hang their heads in shame.
We will win feck all with this dire lot, players and management are a disgrace to club and shirt.
What excuses will they all come up with this time?
If you put a monkey instead of this clown of a manager, we would have had a better chance of winning today. Should be sacked at the end of the season this clown.
Lack of energy and ideas.
So poor.
we’re being sucked into a top 4 battle here

So how good does it feel?
If we were a shark we'd nibble on our prey till they're bored to death.
No leadership on the pitch or in the dugout.
Shambolic. Sliding into a top 4 race.

Solskjaer isn't good enough for this club.
These players aren't good enough for this club.

What is the fresh hell was that? And Ole is smiling? WTF?
So rubbish
Could be a decent point at the end of the season with regards to getting in the top 4.
We will win against City after this mark my words.

Couldn’t see anything anyway
what a terrible terrible match.
what a terrible terrible match.
I will never get that 90 minutes of my life back.
How many times did we test their keeper? Didn't really look like we were trying to win the game. McTominay receiving the ball in the box seconds after coming on and refusing to shoot typified our performance.
Impotent.

Not sure why I tuned in tonight. Football was shite and couldn't see half of the match for the fog.
That was fecking brutal!
Back to the worst days under Ole before Fernandes. Undefendable and not in the good way. Rashford is a complete non-entity right now.
Great defensive display
I'd like to blame the players today, but something is wrong at this club and it starts at the top.
This whole, “not scoring any goals” thing we’ve been going with has gotten old real fast.
What a waste of time
Absolutely awful performance. One of the worst of the season. One of those matches where Oles limitations as a manager are painfully obvious. If no one provides any magic there's often nothing to fall back on in terms of structure or plan. I can live with Ole wanting a more individualistic type of team as opposed to a very structured one, but tonight shows he's got the balance wrong overall. That’s why, for all the good he’s done for our club, he won’t take us that final step.
Individually almost no one did well. Shaw and AWB were our only vaguely decent outfield players. Henderson did really well. But thats not enough to win, even against a painfully limited team like Palace.

Relegated both sides after that, a Premier League game cannot be as bad as that
Groundhog Day
Yeah, we ain't going anywhere.
Absolutely pathetic display.

At this point you'd snap someone's hand off if they offered to end the season tomorrow and give second.
Like watching a 90 minute long throw-in. Utter crap.
That was a stinker. Don't understand how so many players can be so off it as far as the basics are concerned.
No one (besides Shaw, possibly) even looked able to control the ball, not helped by some of the worst passing I've seen all season.

We look scared to lose our unbeaten run away from home, utter dross.
I can't take anyone who praises that result/game seriously. It was awful. We had one great spell in the first half where it looked like the goal was coming, but we didn't take our chances and ended up not winning the game. Our league position covers up far too many of our flaws. Should have absolutely battered the feck out of Palace tonight.
