Just enough to make everybody forget how bad we were.

Post-match discussion

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.
Great win, but these performances are shocking.
We need to play way better.
We need to play way better.
Surely Jessie too?
If we had a defensive midfielder and a decent coach we'd be quite the team
Fergie time…but not fergie team
Happy about the result but it should have probably been 4-1 to Villarreal or something. The game should have been out of sight for us well before they even scored their goal.
About time we beat these cnuts!!
yeh they’ve had a lot of draws but nobody has beaten them...until us!
Surely he has to get Dalotest rating ever. Dreadful performance from him.
Shocking performance really but those 3 points are all that matters.

I hate the way the team plays right now, but what a finish.
How do we fix this team right now? It just doesn't work.

Happy New Year!
If I was to pick a way of beating Uniteds bogey team I think a winner in the 5th minute of injury time would probably be it.
Suck on that Villarreal with your poxy penalty shoot out win in May.

We needed that
We can't sign any players til January but we can sign some proper fecking coaches.
Didn't deserve to win, but won. I'll take that.
And we did them a favour and ended their horrendous run of bore draws. You're welcome, Unai.

We won but the team performance was horrible. We look disjointed all over the pitch and this really is down to the ones managing the team we have and this can not continue. I´m happy we won though.
Good win but Ole is not good enough. That first half was shambolic. I don’t want to be negative but we played like shit for majority of the match.
Good result and attitude to keep going
But we were really bad for most of it and can't keep relying on get out of jail moments
Ronnie saved Ole's bacon

That is all

Masterclass from Ole, amazing football
I mean that pretty much sums us up under Ole. One of the worst home displays I’ve ever seen from United in Europe. Could have genuinely been four down at the half.
Clearly not sustainable to win like that. The Portuguese lads are keeping him in a job. They’re carrying the team and yet because of that they may be holding the club back.
Everyone will be on an emotional high but that was so much harder than it needed to be. We’re wasting the best group of players we’ve had in over a decade on a manager who wouldn’t get another job in any of the top European leagues. Pretty disgraceful.

Yeah I only seen the second half so have no hidden rage from the first, and this is correct
He was nowhere close to being offside. Have a look again!
yup.waste of time playing him in midfield, we've tried him with everyone. it doesn't work. we need someone who can win the ball.
There are obviously still huge issues with the team but it's really fecking fun when you win a game like that.
Matic at 32 is the only midfielder capable of playing forward passes.
Cavani was excellent when he came on - did not stop running.
Lingard is having massive moments in games - surely he’s worth a start on Saturday ?
Shout out to Sancho also who I thought showed signs tonight that he’s getting there - runs in behind, taking players on. He’s going to be a great player for us.
And what can you say about Ronaldo? Was anonymous for about 80 minutes but when it matters you know he’ll score !

like Andy Dufresne we climbed through a pile of shite and emerged victorious
So much we need to improve on
Cavani to start at weekend

Ronaldo is ridiculous. Greatest United player ever
Battered in first half.

We do we only switch on when we’re down. So mystifying. But job well done. 3 points is all that matters at this stage.
No because we won't find any with passion desire and blah
Papering over the cracks which are getting bigger every match. A real Dick Turpin job. We cannot play any worse than that first half. Everton next and we can’t keep playing like this. Buy a decent defensive midfielder.
Feck off you chance wasting, time wasting, penalty converting, Beatles song stealing, slick passing xxxxxxs.
Hilarious watching mini Dracula looking devastated too.
Finally over the Villa game.
Very simple, buy a very good CDM. Or two good midfielders.
To be fair, Villareal are a tough team to beat, let's hope this serves as a catalyst.
Such a easy prediction
Messi just can't catch a break.
I spilt beer all over my work from home desk
Finally....
