Great assist though

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?
3 sitters missed by Raheem and he hit the post. Poor game but great assist. We should have 8 again today.
Ayew 
What was Palace's asking price for Zaha again?
Is Pep taking the piss putting on Foden again for barely a couple of minutes?
Sympathy minute for Foden again.. pointless.
He was my captain in FPL ffs, I swear I’m done with City players in my team (mainly due to the Pep Guardiola is my idol)
Easy day for city's makeshift backline. Palace decided not to bother
You could argue he'd perform better with beter players around him.What was Palace's asking price for Zaha again?
That said, most of the Caf wanted Pepe, who cost 70M and he's been awful for Arsenal.
I had him and Aguero in... Pep loves to look at my fantasy team and drop whoever I put in.
With Silva going next season, you'd expect him to get a lot more minutes. If not, he needs to go!
Thanks. I did realise in the end, they were having a conversation about steak and ale pies when I switched over.
City are a classy team. Even Fergie's teams would probably come second to this lot. Look at City's high line... almost playing in the Palace penalty box. They still miss Sane, though. Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling and Sane are all world class players
Pep plays a very high line because he knows his side is good enough with the ball. They rarely misplace a pass

I hope so. The lad has earned some more playing time, I know he's trying to displace a strong midfield but 2 or 3 minutes here and there is no good to him. I agree if he's not getting a look next season and I was him, I'd be very tempted to move on.
They dont have a chance do they. Playing open with city is suicide.
You don't know that. You are talking about a guy who started his managerial career in the 70's and remained at the top 40 years later. I am sure if he was challenged, he would find a way. He is the GOAT, after all.
Talksport. Either food or booze.
A January loan could do him (and Man City next season) the world of good.
A mid table prem side would bite your hand off. Maybe a loan to Man United? Sorry everyone, couldn't resist.
Equally as much to go against us to be in the relegation zone, just saying both sides.
Didn't even bother looking to be honest.
Is "decided not to bother" how we're characterizing the attitude of teams completely overwhelmed by opposition of a different class? Anyway I prefer it to "game raising cnuts" when the opposite happens.
But the latter is more realistic. 6 points off top 4, 1 point off the bottom 3.
So I’m free today and was thinking maybe watching some football. Any good game today?
Just kidding. COME OOOOOOOOOOON NOW UNITEEEED! I WANT TO SEE SOME HEART OUT THERE!

Wigan vs Forest at 2 looks interesting.
Then there s another game at 430 apparently... not sure of that though
So? Its only fair you post the worst case scenario and equally reflect the best case scenario, otherwise I suspect you’re deliberately trying to paint a negative picture about United.
To be fair, ruining Foden is probably the most damaging thing we could do to City at the moment.
No, I’m merely pointing out the most likely outcome. I want the best for United, like yourself. Thanks.
Just the one game today?
Have to get this united match out of the way. God I hate this game. I just hope Klopp plays an attacking style. As I say this no Salah. He should play attacking with the point lead we have unlike last season where everything was so tight. This is one of “ those games” that Liverpool have just come up short that can cost titles. Perfect opportunity today.
Can't get over how poor that united side looks without pogba. Also, what formation is that? 5-3-2 with wingbacks defensive fullbacks?
That United team is pure turd.
Ole's intention is to play on the counter.
Klopp adopting an attacking style will be just what the doctor ordered.
Yeah it's stupid Sky keep telling us their offering this wonderful TV package for football, they could have put any game from yesterday on today. They just wanted to promote the hell out of this one instead.
Ashley Young isn't defensive, he probably creates the most out of our team (thats how bad it is this season)
But yeah, our midfield in particular is devoid of talent. Need a big game from McTominay and Fred.
End of the day we're hardly much better off! But damn, as someone who grew up with United being THE team and having a spine of world class players, holy shit is it odd to look at that lineup today for a game against Liverpool of all sides, and just be so struck by how distinctly average it is.
And that's not intended as a dig or anything, it's just genuinely shocking to see. So many players who you just would never be able to picture in a United shirt if they played elsewhere.
This will be tough, they’re going to sit deep and press when we get in their half id imagine and they have a lot of players capable of defending well 1v1. We do get injuries though, so it’s something we have to deal with over the course of the season. No player is going to be fit every game. Origi needs to put a performance in though as we have no attackers on the bench.
With that lineup, our biggest foe today is ourselves. We are really good at giving Old Trafford way too much respect.Ashley Young isn't defensive, he probably creates the most out of our team (thats how bad it is this season)

Really looking forward to seeing that handsome bastard Alisson back in goals. Just a bit nervous that today is his return game. It'll be written in the stars if he drops a clanger, and it would be written in the stars for Adrian if he stayed on another game.
