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?
Liverpool should have been way out of sight we got lucky.
We really didnt, we were the better team and it was Liverpool who got lucky with their goals coming from massive deflectionsEh? Have you had a knock to the head mate?
Liverpool should have been way out of sight we got lucky.
Other sides seem to cope. Even those with new managers like Spurs.

Nonsense.Eh? Have you had a knock to the head mate?

Sorry I'm not having that. Let's agree to disagree.
We are shite and he has to go.
Spurs have the same commercial commitments during pre season?
You’re just wrong. At least on the Liverpool game you’re just wrong.
No I'm not. We should have been out way before we got the ending.
How much extra training time do you think they had over us?
He’s actually talked quite a bit about this. It seems like this is what he wants to do. He’s not worried about giving up shots. He persists with a single DM despite everyone and their fecking mother seeing that our midfield is getting over run. Our best form since he arrived was when we played a 4-2-3-1 with Eriksen and Casemiro at the base. Oh, that was after we lost to Brentford and Brighton to start the season.
With 80m in CL income on the line, you’d think he’d be practical enough to see that this formation isn’t working after 40 matches and change into something we can play with some semblance of competence.
Obviously, no one is going to change your mind. You think ETH is the next Pep, or at least a manager worthy of United. I think he’s mediocre at best. So far, there is pretty overwhelming evidence that he is mediocre. We’ll see. I hope I’m wrong.
Your only reactions post Liverpool game…
Hmm.
Then final quote was first football post after the loss.
Hmm.
Na.
fecking hell are you alright?
I was talking about Amad. Not the manager. He is clueless.
Have you been on the piss?
Significant amounts with their key players all fit.
Our injuries have been worse.
It’s what he “wants” to do in the circumstances with what we’ve had available.
I cover this in the defence of the indefensible thread.
I don’t know for certain what level he can take us to. I do however believe give him 4/5 players of the correct profile next summer and I think we’ll absolutely leap forward.
So to be clear. You think Liverpool deserved to beat United. Despite the fact not a single media outlet, or reputable source would agree with you?
Who cares? I judge football with my own eyes not on XG or whatever others say.
Do you honestly believe this charlatan should be in charge next season?
Let's leave it there you are clearly in a foul mood for some reason have a good evening and take care.
In pre season? They were committed to a high line from the start. We've not look like we've had a clue all season.
Respect. To continue to defend him and refuse to give up an inch of ground in the face of massive amounts of data that he’s borderline incompetent is an amount of faith that few on this earth can claim.
It doesn’t matter what we think. We still see the same old structural stupidity in our team where there is a hug gap between attacking and defensive lines. Also, we seem to not know how to hold a ball or pass a ball. When it is one player or two, I get it - but a whole team absolutely sucking is a manager’s fault.
Maybe it is the travel on the same day as the game?
Anyway, Ten hag has the next few games to same himself. We know we say this all the time, but time is running out and the next two games are key to staying in the CL race. It is up to Ten Hag.

ETH stubbornness is what’s killing us
This is his biggest flaw. He just cannot adapt to anything.
I think you’re butthurt that you’ve made a claim everyone disagrees with you on here.
If xG isn’t an issue for you then surely 4th best defensive performance in the league is decent given we’ve had 24 (?) different defensive combinations.
Yes. I believe Ten Hag even after the Brentford game deserves a bit more time and structure around him before we throw him aside.
I believe with the right summer additions (ideally 5) we’ll see a jump in performance levels.
In 2024:
W - Wigan (A) 0-2 (FA Cup)
D - Tottenham (H) 2-2
W - Newport (A) 2-4 (FA Cup)
W - Wolves (A) 3-4
W - West Ham (H) 3-0
W - Villa (A) 1-2
W - Luton (A) 1-2
L - Fulham (H) 1-2
W - Nottingham (A) 0-1 (FA Cup)
L - Man City (A) 3-1
W - Everton (H) 2-0
W - Liverpool (H) 4-3 (FA Cup)
D - Brentford (A) 1-1
Is it that bad? Really?
That's your opinion and that's fine.
But I disagree with you on every level. That is also allowed. If I could be arsed I would disprove everything you've said but it's getting late and there are better things to do.
Well the cat is out of the bag. You a hater!
I don't hate anyone or anything life is far too short for that kind of thing.Well the cat is out of the bag. You a hater!
But I would like a new manager please
Genuinely want to know what this structure will do?
How is this structure going to reduce shots at our goal, reduce the space in our defensive transition and make us look half decent in possession?
Glory hunter, not a top red, doesn't live in Manchester and frankly spoilt entitled fan who should just support the team and have no opinion.Well the cat is out of the bag. You a hater!
The mental gymnastics is getting out of hand
The one reason I want him to stay is because I feel we might get rid of more shite under him. Another manager may give some players another chance.
Might be better for us long term to just suffer a bit of short term pain.
Might be better for us long term to just suffer a bit of short term pain.
The problem with that is whoever is in charge will find it difficult to move a lot of them on due to the contracts. It's a nightmare situation financially to move players.
It was a joke, there is nothing wrong with what he said. And calling anyone a gloryhunter after more than a decade of underperformance is impressive.
Somethings clearly wrong with the tactics. City and Arsenal have conceded less shots combined than us in the league this season.
And taken as a joke no issues here at all
You would hope the footballing structure above the manager would make those decisions, and will have already made those decisions in many cases.
He probably has to win the FA Cup now to save his job. It has been an utterly dreadful season. Worst thing nowadays is that I just no longer look forward to Man Utd games - watching is a chore. The Liverpool game could be bad.
Generously you could say we don't have the players for the system. But that just reinforces your point, I think.
I don't really follow that idea. He brought a fair amount of the "shite" or use extensively the shite instead of younger players. If there is one thing that scares him is his lack of good judgement when it comes to players and his stubborness when it comes to stick with bad ideas.
Halve the players he’s bought have played that system for him before.
And I would disprove everything you say and we’d all high 5 and all the models in the world would be like wow that was so awesome let’s have an orgy. But it’s getting late and there are better things to do
Buy players that can perform to a high standard in the PL in a high pressing transition side. That would help everything you have asked for.
Keep players fit and help prevent injuries particularly long term ones. That would also help keep the players who can do what we want ready to play.
A bit silly to suggest structure won’t help us perform better.
Numerous other marginal gains.
