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?
Just when I thought we were slowing down a bit much - 3-0
Thank you Arry
100m well spent

Champions League is shit.
Rubbish, I've more interest in watching Ipswich
I really like Sané tonight. He has been a threat in attack and also won more than one crucial ball in defense
Müller and Sané with more huge chances to bury this, but not quite.
Other than the Guardiola years (?), I feel like Bayern has been mostly using a 4231 formation for over a decade. Might be totally off on that though. Always got a rather classic #9 with fast wingers spamming crosses along with overlapping backs.
About what you would expect from the 7th in La Liga and the 9th in Serie A. Real Sociedad are on a bad run having won only 1 of their last 9 games. They completely lost the momentum they had in the first half of the season.
Yeah thats basically our DNA since van Gaal.
Also mostly under Guardiola.
But I think your usually inverted wingers score at least as much themselves as they assist/cross. And then there is Müller moving around everywhere necessary to keep the system ticking.
It's a bit dull. There's just no spice.
I reiterate that PSG don't look impressive but they have Mbappé and they defend well
You can't play 433 with Muller cos his average position is of a second striker. Musiala seems to be in the same mould
We got boring draws other than Inter-Atletico. Quarters should be much better
Now watch Madrid get shattered at home by Leipzig...
Müller and Musiala have an immense workrate for second strikers or a 10 - that is why it works!
Pavlovic is so great - he just is 19!
And - in matches like this we used the 4-2-3-1 with Guardiola, too. If we needed goals... Against Porto we played with Lahm as right winger and Raphinha als right full back as all wingers were injured.

Bayern lined up in a 2242 in this game btw. 2box4 though the wingers(Kimmich and Guerreiro) are on the level of the advanced points of the box
Real Sociedad get a consolation goal
Logging off now.
Feels like the best game in ages
I watched Pavlovic all game today and looks like he has a great future ahead of him
Might save us the need to splash on a DM
Also Germany needs to cap him
In game with Muller it becomes like a 442, sometimes 424 cos Muller spends more time in opponent box than the average 10. Muller coverage a lot of ground but he doesn't have the skillset to play in CM
I shouldn't but
German, mate. Even a simple hello sounds like they're either ordering you to give them 50 suicides or insulting 5 generations of your ancestors over the sloppiness of your shirt collarI shouldn't but
Could be worse. Could be Dutch. Which sounds like a German has a sore throat

But no. Dutch is funny. Makes them come off as ridiculous but in nice way
German is fecking scary. You sound like a bunch of hyperaggressive lunatics
Pavlo was class again today. If you think that he is a 19-year-old that had his first matches in the league end of 2023 and that was his first CL start!

He was not even the big star in youth - too small and behind in development. A local boy that was in the academy from about seven years on.
Germany and Bayern needs a DM. I hope the DFB is not sleeping on him
Bit weird for Madrid to have a Gareth bale tifo
Carlo really leaning into the Midfield FC meme
Which City player is picking up an injury tonight to rule him out of the Scouse game this weekend? 
City up. FCK apparently starting 3 teenagers, focusing on the league.
1-0 City. Akanji from a corner.
Rest up the boys now, Guardiola. Big game this weekend.

I have no idea why Haaland is out there tonight. Wrap him in cotton wool Pep you idiot.Which City player is picking up an injury tonight to rule him out of the Scouse game this weekend?
Did City rent those kids cheering them?
The keeper can't see sh!t with that mask on
Another city goal. This is gonna get ugly.
Funniest thing so far has been one of the kids in the stand literally pouring what seemed to be a box of fries into his mouth like he hadn't eaten in days.

No need. He's granite. He won't get injured.
Listening to the commentators fellate city is nauseating
