Come on Van Dijk, head one into your own net in the second half, you know you want to

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?
2 chances 2 goals. Liverpool lead 2-0 at HT. But, Southampton have been the better team IMO.
Lovely bit of skill for that second though
Having a keeper who saves things helps, those go in and we're chasing on the back foot. He keeps us in it and even though we haven't been great we have the base to go and score. It's small margins at this level.
Not really been that bad, we've just soaked up Saints' pressure and hit them on the break. You can't be free flowing every game.
So that's the feeling De Gea gives Utd fans. Not comparing Karius to him but comparing the feeling. We've been missing out big time.
Just like Lukaku would have done it.
Yeah, those Karius saves have been good, but it was so easy for them to create those chances. Should be much harder than that.
I dunno. Had we not be two up I think a lot of us would be raging right now. But like I say. Most sides can do this ‘play bad and win’ thing. Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham come to mind. We need to be in that bracket too
He's not DDG but he was extremely highly rated in Germany. We need to back him till the summer and then 're evaluate. He's a talented player though whos been doubly as maligned as Mignolet from all quarters.So that's the feeling De Gea gives Utd fans. Not comparing Karius to him but comparing the feeling. We've been missing out big time.
Yeah would broadly agree with that. We just don't have the ability, it's just a lack of defensive nous really. Nobody senses danger.
What are the odds of an early Southampton goal and a final 2-2 scoreline? I bet they're not as high as they should be.
Yep, exactly. All top sides have games like this. Nice that our keeper has made a couple of saves for once too, forgot what that feels like.
Says a lot about our defensive game that we’re actually sweating on the possibility of that happening.
I know Liverpool GKs are expected to screw up every match but those are pretty standard saves right?
Which one is Southampton? 
Yeah... they are. But our keepers don’t make those saves. That’s the point
.So for us it’s like we’ve got De Gea in goal
Lemina off. Was having a good game.
Yeah still seems strange. Much like us expecting our attack to keep missing chancesYeah... they are. But our keepers don’t make those saves. That’s the point
So for us it’s like we’ve got De Gea in goal
Poor sub
Cheeky £300m bid on Lemina
I hate our midfield. It’s just an engine that’s it. Endless amounts of energy but not enough goals/assists
I've just seen a Liverpool fan on the BBC site post something like...
"Reckon we're going to knock united off their second placed perch"
Two things on that... Firstly, city must be quaking in their boots.
Secondly, second placed perch
Did number 19 and 20 really hurt mate? I bet they did.

Should probably post this in the RAWK thread. Will get more laughs.I've just seen a Liverpool fan on the BBC site post something like...

I could be completely wrong here but the way Liverpool and Arsenal fans gloat about City more than any other club, you'd think that's their second team.I've just seen a Liverpool fan on the BBC site post something like...

We are not clinical enough, should be 5/6-0 here
Mane's missing his finishing boots today.
I think we can be, but today isn’t one of those days.
Liverpool players are not fresh in front of the goal with all that defensive work they need to do. Only team that can press 90 minutes and still with full energy is City; for some reason.
That Salah seems to go under the radar .Up their with the top scorers
under radar?
It is strange. The standard response on social media by the fans of either of those teams to any United fan these days seems to be "Enjoy City's dominance for the next decade
" Are they really hoping for that to happen? Why would that be a good thing for them? Yeah .Not talked about in the same breath as Kane and Aguero
What planet have you been on for the last 6months?
I've read people on here suggesting he should be POTS ahead of KDB.
Much better second half apart from the finishing.
On to Porto.
On to Porto.
No scares for once.
We almost looked composed for once defending a lead.
(whispers) Van Dijk was outstanding.
Much like united fans in 14 then.
I notice whenever the gap drops below 5 points they all come out of the woodwork.
Honestly, I couldn't give a feck who finishes 2nd. City will have the title wrapped up within the next 5 games.
Liverpool will have their usual late season run of hope where they convince themselves it's on for next season. Rinse repeat goodnight.

Agree completely.
