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.
Not really. It’s just Chelsea under Frank.
Didn't watch Chelsea vs Soton but it seems Chelsea's trend continues, as in they score goals but concede a lot, too.
Wonder Lampard will regret not pushing out the boat for a top class centre back?

Crazy league this season. Everton PL champions.
This gets even better
This day is going too well, it's my bday tomorrow as well, just watch Utd ruin it all later
Nah.... Villa for Champions - wouldn't that be something?!
Lampard will again be furious at the comedy troupe he has at the back, and he himself needs to take responsibility and find some answers fast, as his fine forwards are being let down. Credit to Southampton too, who hung on in the first half and were superb in the second.
Wonder whether Abramovic will regret not going for a proper manager
Any chance for a gif of the last goal?
We're drawing tonight, arent we ...
Hilarious really. Lampard was seemingly oblivious to Chelsea’s defensive issues over the summer.
We will get easily beaten.
The laugh police are the worst.
feck Lampardball
He could start by using their best CB Rudiger instead of ostracising him, like he did to Giroud for much of last season.
He isn't our best defender.
Chelsea are the new Arsenal.
Too far. Post reported.
Chelsea fans themselves seem to be at odds over the pecking order for them at the back. I personally think Christensen is awful, but he was ok today and it was Zouma's time to make a mess of something. Maybe Rudiger should come in, but I also think it's fair to point out none of them are helped by having Kepa behind them.
This is what I don't get: Their biggest problem has been the defense and then they go out and spend hundreds of millions on ... wingers and strikers?!
Live a little. United are shit, so we may as well laugh at others when the opportunity arises.
Groovy. Thanks!
How long until the Poch to Chelsea rumours start ...I do feel Chelsea would definitely go for him if they have to replace Frank
We brought in 2 defenders and a goalkeeper as well.
Expect City to struggle massively today without KdB.
Sheer stupidity. I spent a lot of time on here pointing out that their squad building was completely imbalanced, but I was assured that they were doing good business. They will be completely hamstrung by their back line.
God help you then.
Think you've got too much faith in Arsenal..
Allegri
That doesn’t tell the full story when one of those defenders has gone straight out on loan and the other is a geriatric who has already dropped a bollock. Your defensive reinforcements smacked of, “shit, we better do something so the backdoor isn’t left wide open.”
Southampton is actually the real life FM mid table team.
Play high tempo attacking -
Promote youth-
Low budget -

They didn't offer anything in attack all game apart from a few brilliant pieces of play from Werner and Havertz. They don't buy those two, and Chelsea have no hopes of scoring a goal today.
Dunno, they’ve improved under Arteta and I feel Aboomerang will punish their high line.
But you’re right - you never know which version of Arsenal you’ll get.
We signed a keeper who looks good and a defender people are criminally underestimating because of his age.
Furthermore finishing was just as big a problem last season, many dropped points in lesser games came because of that. And to further add you conceded 54 goals in 18/19 (like we did last season) and Ole did what you're suggesting we should do and "fix the defense" and guess what? You needed a game changing attacking signing to even gain parity on the 18/19 points total.
Chelsea defence might be worse than ours.
Rejoice!!
Rejoice!!
So all top teams are shit this season. I totally expect there another high scoring game between City and le Arse, two more "top teams" who can't defend.
It really being this community into perspective when you have to say you weren’t being serious. Oh well. 2020 is shit anyway might as well carry on.
