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.

Its kinda reached that stage where its stopped being funny and just feels uncomfortable to watch. Someone mentioned the Brazil 7-1 and thats the vibe I had then too.

Bit annoying to beat Norwich 7-0 in a weekend Liverpool are away at United, then this happens.

Makes our 1 - 1 with 10 men look better, that's for sure. Liverpool issues can be if they get a few injuries as the season goes on, lack of depth.Bit annoying to beat Norwich 7-0 in a weekend Liverpool are away at United, then this happens.
Utd could always have had the balance problems we're seeing with CR7 playing, not an easy one to fix for any manager.

I was just thinking about the GD, to be honest. We caught up to Liverpool yesterday. Well behind them again now.Makes our 1 - 1 with 10 men look better, that's for sure. Liverpool issues can be if they get a few injuries as the season goes on, lack of depth.

Neville is such an idiot, he's actually of the opinion that Man United's pressing doesn't work because the individual attacking players aren't (physiologically? cognitively?) capable of pressing, because Greenwood, Rashford, Ronaldo "can't press".

Ronaldo has nothing to do with this. It's so easy to blame it on him but how many chances did we create for him.Makes our 1 - 1 with 10 men look better, that's for sure. Liverpool issues can be if they get a few injuries as the season goes on, lack of depth.

So weird the last 30 minutes of that was like sitting at a funeral. It was like even Liverpool felt "this is weird" and just stopped

That was better than anything I could’ve possibly imagined. Thought we were so clinical in the first half. Keita was excellent and I thought Konate was a smart choice. Salah is on another planet.
United were horrendous though. So unorganised.
Maguire and Shaw had a nightmare on their side but the lack of cover from midfield in the first half was monstrous. Ronaldo is a liability to how the team sets up imo.
Hope Keita’s injury isn’t too bad.

Carragher is right. A one man press on the goalie when the nearest teammate is 20 metres away is a pointless, it's just wasting energy.

Did not expect that to be so easy. That’s not the united I know at all. Anyway Ole‘s post match is coming up. I almost expect a resignation speech? Is that a possibility?

This is on a manager to sort everything out. Ole hasn't the foggiest how to lineup tactically at this level.That was better than anything I could’ve possibly imagined.

Resigning would be dumber than putting McFred in midfield. Let the weekend blow out and take your check on Tuesday. He's not leaving millions on the table to appease United fans.Did not expect that to be so easy. That’s not the united I know at all. Anyway Ole‘s post match is coming up.

He is right about Cristiano though. It's not like Ancelotti, Zidane, Allegri, Sarri and Pirlo all didn't ask him to for giggles...Neville is such an idiot, he's actually of the opinion that Man United's pressing doesn't work because the individual attacking players aren't (physiologically? cognitively?) capable of pressing, because Greenwood, Rashford, Ronaldo "can't press".
In general, yeah, some players *are* physiologically/cognitively worse at it and United *do* have a bunch of them. None of it absolves the manager though. If you've got a bunch of players who are bad/don't want to press, maybe don't press...or play fewer players who are bad/don't want to do it at once...

He wants to press and plays a mismatch of players who will and ones who absolutely won’t. Not sure what he tells them when he’s coaching them to press but probably best to give that up. You can’t play a high line with Maguire behind Fred.He is right about Cristiano though. It's not like Ancelotti, Zidane, Allegri, Sarri and Pirlo all didn't ask him to for giggles...

Sprinting back, this Man Utd has little of it. You can't play football if you can't sprint different directions.
You can't press when your players can't sprint back. AWB is the worst of the lot.

At first I didn't want Ole gone, and Klopp did his genius best by taking the foot off the gas and Ole's neck to ensure the humiliation was not absolute.Away to Spurs

But now looking at City and Chelsea fixtures coming up I'm thinking the silver lining is actually for him to leave in the next few days and a new manager bounce takes the points off our rivals.
The writing was on the wall that something like this was bound to happen, but once the match actually went on and you scored the 5th early in the second half and red card followed I genuinely was fearing for a 8 to 10 goal blowout. Regardless we played like a midtable championship team with no organization and you took full advantage so it's nothing less than a fair result, that's all that has to be said.That was better than anything I could’ve possibly imagined. Thought we were so clinical in the first half. Keita was excellent and I thought Konate was a smart choice. Salah is on another planet.

With a result like this I've withdrawn any emotion I had attached to the club for this season at least until Ole leaves. And with that I really hope you enjoy a great rest of the day.
