In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
I'd fancy or chances against City, Spurs, anyone of Sevilla/United/Shakhtar/Roma and maybe even Barca if those teams proceed. Yes, we can beat any team left in the competition on our day but in general, we leak too many goals to win over two legs against experienced teams like Real, Bayern or Juve.
City aren't even close to favourites imo. Real wil be for me if they go through, followed by Bayern and Barcelona. They're still on another level compared to the rest for me and the one team they usually all kind of struggle against is already eliminated.
Yes. No country solidarity in this rivalry. Always want to see Porto and Benfica lose.
True enough but that's not the main reason I'd want Sevilla next round
Edited anyways.
Poor Liverpool fan wanting respect and posts praising them when most are busy watching Madrid vs PSG, probably the tie of this round.
Fantastic results in both ties. Can’t stand PSG and our win gives us the chance to rest key players before our game against you. Happy days
You still won't achieve anything this season, la. Happy valentine's!
Never understood that mentality...cheering on a team just because they represent your country or hoping they do well just for the coefficients and crap! Not a chance!
You can talk about it with your pals here.
The Scousers on TalkSport are pretty unbearable tonight - you'd think they'd just trounced Barcelona 5-0. I don't blame them for being confident - I'm sure we'd be as well if we'd beaten Porto by that margin - but one of them was predicting a Liverpool-City CL final. Had to switch it off. 
The presenter rightly retorted by stating they might want to try beating the likes of West Brom and Swansea easily before seeing CL dreams. A team with a half-decent attack will always give them problems.

I didn't ask for anything you twat !
For me it's you are the only team that doesn't play the same old build up tappy, tappy stuff. With your front three you can happily concede the ball and simply wait for your chance to counter, and with the out and out pace you have there is very little teams can do about it. You don't play conventionally which I think is a massive benifit, especially in Europe.
I don’t think its as simple as calling them bottlers. I just think they don’t have enough opportunities to play against quality teams or at that sort of intensity.
I’m pretty sure you just made that up.There was one hilarious bit of 'defending' from van Dijk in the second half where the Porto forward was in possession in the Liverpool box and put van Dijk on his arse without doing anything in particular. It was the weirdest piece of defending I've seen in many a month.
I didn't say you didI didn't ask for anything you twat !
Thought the Madrid-PSG game was desperately low on quality for two sides supposedly stacked with it.
Marcelo was brilliant though. Had Mbappe in his pocket, set up goals, scored, played a pass to put Ronaldo in that would make De Bruyne weep. Superb full back.
Same as in the other domestic cup competitions, and same as when you don’t win in the league.

You’ll go out to the first defensively competent side you face with a decent goalkeeper.

Oh come on now, show some respect to Liverpool. Poor souls here want it badly.
Haha I wonder if the presenter would say the same to RM - except mentioning Levante (2 draws) and their defeats to Betis, Girona and VillarealThe Scousers on TalkSport are pretty unbearable tonight - you'd think they'd just trounced Barcelona 5-0.

I'm not making any comparisons before anyone jumps to the wrong conclusion !
In 2014 we beat dortmund 3-0 and then went one glorious mhkitaryan miss from total capitulation in the second leg
The United v. Liverpool match is 3 days before United's second leg vs. Sevilla
So Leicester and West Brom are defensively competent sides? Weird post considering our record in cup competitions under Klopp. Generally speaking we’ve gone out to poor sides that we should be beating.
I've got a really good friend from Porto. I texted him at 3 - 0 and I've heard nothing.
I don't recall saying we would la'.
Of course we want to win it badly. You can't half speak some shite lad.
True but saying that ( without going into the ref stuff ) Spurs did boss the second half at Anfield and twatted us at their gaff this season. Hope Juventus beat them.
Both times you still went through and I think it will be somewhat similar. Still think you'll have to suffer a lot before getting to the quarters. PSG will come out on fire in the second leg with the stadium behind them, it's not going to be easy.
I fancy Psg to overturn the 3-1 deficit.
Same here. The only team I can remember cheering on was Norwich in the early / mid 90's.
No I didn't. It was when the score was 3-0.I’m pretty sure you just made that up.
Messi and Suarez against Liverpool? they will win it. If Liverpool can add a measure of control to their games that's what could take them to glory.
Calm down.
They were just plain unlucky tonight
It’s not just Leicester and West Brom who’ve got results. And the teams don’t have to be world beaters across the season or even defensively reknowned. Just need to have their shit together for one game. Liverpool can make teams look silly but more often than not these big results have been against shambolic defences with opposition keepers chucking them in, or naive teams who concede one then go out chasing the game leaving gaps all over the place.

Good point. They've been pretty shoddy in the league this season.
Either way if the ties in this round go the way we think, we are in for an absolute treat in the QFs.
Yeah I wouldn’t fancy it against Spurs. I don’t really like the idea of playing City either. I think they’d beat us over two legs.
I wouldn’t mind seeing how we’d do against Barcelona.
Like Man City.
