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.
The moaners 
You beat the fifth side in La Liga 4-1 and the manager is still wrong, not even going into the shit spouting in the match day thread. Only in sex masochism...
You beat the fifth side in La Liga 4-1 and the manager is still wrong, not even going into the shit spouting in the match day thread. Only in sex masochism...That may be so but you are proving to be a very big hypocrite in how you judge and support United managers.
Too right!Problem is we are crap at the actual scoring part
Anyways, nice response tonight. Didn't think we were particularly sharp or good tonight, Betis were terrible. But that match could have turned into a shitshow after the equalizer and DDG near howler, and we didn't let it affect us.
Seems like we need a near DDG howler on the stroke of half time to fire us up against Spanish opposition!
You speak like it's an unknown quantity. We know what happens when the others play..
How so? I just gave Ten Hag credit for getting it right a few minutes ago, and supported his right to pick the starting XI. What about that is hypocritical?
That's fantastic
Many great decisions today but Bruno has to play at 10 or midfield. No more wing play for him
How does Norwegian arse taste? I am only asking because you seem to dine exclusively on it
Nah, all of the 'we're title challengers' brigade will be out in full force now. All the people with balanced opinions get drowned out whenever there's a big win or a loss.
I am not sure what I said that made you so annoyed, care to elaborate?
ETH got every decision perfect tonight. 10/10
any detractors should go support Oldham.
we win together we loose together.

From mentality mayonaise to mentality monster once again.
I swear if he can make us bounce back as if that game never happened, he is the one. That's what Sir Alex did.

Really like the way he keeps the same team tonight. Great confidence boost.
The biggest difference imo is this is the best pressing we have ever done.
The best thing about EtH is that he has gotten the big calls right. Making the players run after Brentford, benching Maguire and Ronaldo, lots of subs leading to goals and now getting a reaction from 10 out of 11 who got smashed. You can see the logic in his decisions and so far it has mostly worked out.
There were actually people having doubts about this guy?
Looks like Pool match didn't changed his aim or schedule. On his way to the later stages for a further silverware scoop. That result is crucial.
People had doubts over Sir Alex. So it shouldn't be surprising.
Apologies if already posted. Tonight's program.
It's funny that you only reemerged in here (like a few others) after Sunday. You seem to be microanalysising ETH's decisions but gave Ole a totally free pass, and were condescending to anyone who questioned him.
It's extreme hypocritical and you hardly thought people would just forget your antics during the Ole era, did you?
The fact he persisted with Dalot despite his poor performances is a worry.
If he starts AWB the next few games then any doubts will be removed.
I don’t think he’ll have any issue dropping Dalot if he’s not performing, especially when AWB is. I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts AWB at the weekend.
It's hardly a big deal, yeah. There's not much between them, but AWB maybe should have started tonight. Nothing worth being critical over.
Got a reaction from the majority of players except for the final ten minutes of the first half when things were a bit worrying. I'm pretty sure he knows he needs a new goalkeeper, striker and midfielder but that will come next season hopefully.
People are being a bit harsh on Antony and Weghorst. The latter obviously isn't a great player but he's still contributing to the team in most games and is a stop gap until Martial gets fit (if only!!!) and we can get a proper striker in the summer. Antony is frustrating as anything but is still young and in his first season at the club. Surely people can see the good parts of his game as well the bad ones?

Ballsy to go with the same team and then humble to change AWB for Dalot at half time. Good subs at the right time and finally played everyone in position.
He is fantastic at changing things up.
Thanks for posting!Apologies if already posted. Tonight's program.
It seemed to go over a lot of people's heads and he was being criticised. Shows he is the real deal. 4-1 and back on track, thank you very much.
That was very good. Thank you for posting itApologies if already posted. Tonight's program.
Who knows - maybe ‘that’ result might be a blessing in disguise for the rest of the season.
Think I may have posted this a month back, but why not revisit?
You will always find a few on the caf.
There is only one issue imo, rotation/resting. I doubt the starting XI has the energy to continue like that imo
I really hope he's decided on replacing De Gea in the summer.
He's an incredible manager, so I hope we nail this summer in terms of incomings/outgoings.

ETH is a very competent coach/manager. United have won a cup already and are in a good position to qualify for the CL. The UEFA Cup has some very good sides in the draw and City are in the FA Cup draw, so its not going to be easy to win either.
Every team starts level at the start of the season. United are about where you would expect them to be given the squad of players they have. In the league they have been helped by Chelsea and Liverpool's problems.
I am enjoying watching games again which is a good sign, but the squad needs more depth in midfield and at center forward. For periods in a lot of matches DdG gives the impression of being the best attacking midfielder for the opposition given the amount of times he gives passes to opposition forwards. The club including ETH need to address these issues.
The acid test for ETH is winning the league. Do this and he becomes a very good manager rather than competent. Early days, signs are good, but lets not go overboard, there may yet be 'second season syndrome' problems.

To get the results and harmony he has created so far is quite incredible. In ETH we trust
I loved Ole. But starting to see how it felt for me back then, thought it was just folk who where just backing the manager, but seems some are just carrying flat out agendas, and wild double standards.
I just don't get it.
I never saw you criticize Ole for his team selections though.
Only on RedCafe, I can assure you.
