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?
I'm talking about his goalscoring record. Oh, and downright terrible is bordering on WUM status!
Yay and Nay
And Leeds fans were booing Kovacic after this. Nice, enjoyed having them back in them back in the league, but I will celebrate the day they get relegated again.
I think Laporte is done. Clearly struggling.
Which has declined in the same trajectory
genius
Kdb wants this league
4-1
Four goals. Incredible.
What a player.
Guess city don't want GD to be a factor eh
Goal difference getting better all the time 
KDB to get a third POTY award in a row?
KDB to get a third POTY award in a row?I’d have Raphinha at Chelsea in a heartbeat. We’ve been linked with him, too.
But apparently he’s dead set on going to Barca.
Which tells you how hard it is to keep at such a rate.
KDB had one of his very few poor performances against big clubs in 2nd leg against Madrid but is making up for it here
Thats a penalty? No?
Looks like he nudged the ball with his knee.
Another penalty not given to Wolves. I want City to win the league, but this is ridiculous.
You lot have Mount, Havertz, Pulisic, CHO and Ziyech, who can play in those inside forward areas. Unless you're selling a couple, I can't see how you'd make room for him.
Sure I respect him for getting into the position
You're acting like he was born with this
I give him credit for being able to do that, but to say that positioning can't get taught is a bit OTT
I don’t think that one was a penalty tbf.
all sterling had to do was simply stick a foot out and easy goal there
That should have been a pen,
City player gets lucky that the ball gits his foot, wasn't actually playing the ball.

It's his arms he sticks out. Good goalie.
So you don't think players have poacher instinct, and if not, then as I asked you before, then why don't we see everyone doing it?
I know he clipped the ball with his knee, but that was completely accidental. Still fully took out the man in the process. Not as clear cut as the first one, but still a penalty for me.
How have United played a game more than literally everyone else in the league?
De Bruyne is just ridiculous.
Poor by Foden - should finish!
Foden is really unlucky 
Not trying to WUM but they went out early in both domestic cups so rescheduling their delayed fixtures was straightforward.
Well, my eyes tells me that he is a significant worse player than he was when he were scoring at that rate.
But I think your original point was that he deserves respect for his goalscoring record which I agree with. As I said he used to be very good. Any lack of respect stems from him often looking clumsy and limited but he used to make it work.
Cos even when teams had covid they still knew they would take points of us
Foden misses so many chances from that exact position.
League is done, it was done after the draw with Liverpool, City aren't dropping points to midtable teams.
People underestimate just how much of an advantage it is to be able to play two high quality first XIs when you have midweek games, when the vast majority of other teams would play most of the same XI, especially in attack. In their game 3 days ago against Newcastle, City started Grealish and Jesus, in this one they play Foden and Bernado instead, with Mahrez still on the bench. Wolves' played pretty much the same first XI in their match 4 days ago.

The team they played that game against (Chelsea) have played a game less than most due to cup commitments.
Wouldn't be at all surprised if Pulisic and Ziyech are moved this summer to be honest. Werner as well.
The quality of the league is so shite it's unbelievable.
But the way KDB controlled that ball just thrown in his direction was incredible.
