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?
Tbh that happens to me all the time.
Hoping this means we see Young as rotation for Shaw at LB, rather than RB
His passing range is good enough to zip the ball past 2 lines. There's quite a few balls where Young or Jones opt for the short pass instead of the diagonal to the other fullback because they don't trust their own passing. Maguire can zip those balls accurately all day long and speed up the play. People here really underestimate how much he brings in terms of transition from defence to attack. The concern about the size of his head seem to outweigh their appreciation for his ability to play football.
Not going to be popular to say but Lingard as well, he's key to the press.
Pitch looks proper shit. Pressing is really good.
Seems that a few Liverpool supporting Aussies have bought tickets to the game. They’re singing Liverpool songs and “champions league you’re having a laugh” etc... pathetic
Because that’s his natural position
Rom 
He never looked good imo, just not good enough.
Because he is a left winger?
4-2-3-1
He's a left winger.
No 10. Chong as right winger although to be honest Dalot has played so high up the pitch it's allowed Chong to play narrower.
James is going to be fouled so much next season 
Yep Jesse has always had that, Just needs more numbers to go with it
Oh I see. Can get your point. As I said I want him too.
MUTV site is awful, haven't sent me a password reset in over 20 mins
How we looking?
Ok, we have a good intensity and about 85% possession but no real chances created.
James looks impressive
Makes you realise the quality needed to unlock deep defences....
Same unfortunately, his ball control isn’t good, and his passes are bad too
Jlingz is gonna be an essential part of Ole’s team this season, to the dismay of many on here
Struggling to break them down...but I cant recall last time I saw a game where we have the ball all the time
That would make sense if we were actually in the CL.
Jokes on them, I think...
Cool. I was tired of the 433 to be honest. I prefer wingers like James than playing wide forwards like Martial.
I would be worried with Matic in a midfield of 2, someone more energetic would be better. I hope we continue with a high pressing style of play.
Dan James hasn't got the memo about making runs. Don't bother, the player on the ball isn't going to take a risky pass.
He's started making runs and had to stop so many times so far.

Tuanzebe looks solid
Come on now. That's a top, natural pitch covered with real grass. I'd kill to play on that myself.
James and Chong both starting very wide, but with licence to drift inside when the fullbacks get up alongside them.
Interesting, if that's what Ole has in mind for the season. It's not Shaw or AWB's strength.

Yeah, handled everything with ease. Interested to see how he does against a tougher team.
James looking sharp. Tuanzebe solid enough. Chong not on song. Matic and Martial quiet. What you need to break down a stubborn defence is creativity or skills. Lots of possession with limited threat.
What's the score?
Loving Tuanzebe & James' enthusiasm, great to see.
Matic playing in lead boots again. What's the polar opposite of agile?
Strange lack of preparation for a pre-season tour, shoddy pitch, very limited camera work for the match and the opponents are so stretched they need kids on the bench. At least when we went to the US the pitches were perfect and they had team selection.
One would think more planning goes into this sort of thing.

Why we can't find someone that can do what he does but is actually good I dunno
Yes, but he can play on the right as well. And i thought that we got him for that right side...
lukaku looked like he was searching for transfer news on his move.
Slabhead would be a more mobile midfielder than Matic
Apart from James Young has been our best player which concerns me a bit
Final ball certainly seems to be James' weakness.
I know Pogba etc aren’t playing but we’re in desperate need of some quality in midfield.
We lost Herrera and Fellaini we should be prioritising a top class midfielder, the links to Lemina and Longstaff are ridiculous.
