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.
Surely a yellow for "Trent" for kicking the ball away
Haha this.
TAA is very good going forward but defends like Terence Trent D’Arby.
Pre season Pirlo has looked good though.
can he do it for 90 mins though?
I don’t think the manager wants a player like that for better or worse.
LiFApool… refs, fixtures, asthma…
Fee made too much sense and presented too much value for us.
I first wrote about Palhinha in the 2020/2021 season when I recommend him for United midfield. I said his game is made for the EPL and that was an absolute vacuum. This first half by Palhinha makes him look like he's been playing in England for years ! I am beyond proud of our boy!
This first half the standout guys have been
1. Palhinha
2. Perreira
3. Mitro

Andreas looking great so far.
Fulham completely nullify Liverpool's right hand side...but Robertson and Diaz are well in this game. Hopefully they can tweak that a bit.
So frustrating to see a player like Palinha moving to Fulham when he’s exactly what we’ve needed for years!
Mind you, Andreas has looked great against this lethargic Liverpool team.

Was wonder what the feck Fulham were doing making all these signings and still playing Tim Ream but they've been well on top, surely got enough to stay up this season.
Liverpool been very ordinary, seeing void of Mane and his movement creating more space for forward players.

Scousers looking poor so far. Salah is finding it really difficult to get involved and they just look really pedestrian. Obviously too early to draw any conclusions but they look really disjointed.
Dippers have been average in that half
Has the mitrovic goal been put up here yet?
Obviously it's better if we end up with De Jong but
Fred---Eriksen
---Palhinha
would have been a very tidy little midfield for a total spend of about 50p.

Liverpool are a bit more of an up and down team without Mane in the side. I can see why Klopp thinks Nunez was a good idea, just buy completely into that now
They have brought in Shane Duffy. If they get Brighton Duffy that’s a good buy. But I assume Ream will start early this season to bring through some consistency in their defence from last season.
Fulham need to keep a lid on Robertson and they might survive. Big 45 minutes ahead
How is Diaz playing?
Well deserved. Fulham have been more aggresive and have until now "locked" Liverpool attacks by having players controlling space where Trent and Robertson operate at the same time winning battle of midfield. Thats is why Liverpool are trying long balls.
I expect Liverpool to dominate second half and put pressure. But as long as Fulham can have same discipline they might take something of this game today.

If Palhinha does this all season he won't last more than one year on that contract because someone will throw a check at Fulham by next summer.Obviously it's better if we end up with De Jong but

The PED's will kick in the second half no doubt.
Anyone know why there's like a full section/stand empty at Craven Cottage for an opening Premier League game against Liverpool? :/
Assuming some kind of development but it looks finished if it is! (And teams usually request a few away games to start the season if that's the case)

Liverpool's best player of the half, but he's still no mane
Just another case of us not willing to try for a lower profile player instead chasing unrealistic targets all the time that cost way more.
Andy Carroll will save the day for the scousers from the bench, don’t get your hopes up lads.
Ive got him in my fpl team just so that doesn't happen
Their is so much talent in Portugal at the moment that clubs like United ignore. Liverpool sniped up two of them, City grabbed Dias and are looking at Nunes. It is just a matter of doing their homework.
Don't do it to yourself
Like Malacia?
Why did a bigger club not swoop for Palhinha? He looks like a top player. If a PL club that is expected to be relegated can attract a player like that, we're basically already a super league.
Development has been heavily delayed. Won’t be finished until next year.
I fully expect Liverpool to go on and win, but another reminder if anyone needed 1 that going to these tight grounds in opening day when everyone is up for it is never easy. Sometimes it's about just grinding out a victory.

Last season Palhinha was injured a decent amount and began splitting his position with Manuel Ugarte. Might have lowered his stock.
Wolves and Fulham competed for him and Wolves looked set to sign him before Fulham swooped in.
I fully expect Liverpool to score 2 jammy goals at the eleventh hour and ruin my day
How's Pirlo done?
