I can't imagine how long our injury list would get if our lot tried to play at the same intensity as Spurs for one half

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Beginning to doubt the Mount signing, money might have been better spent on Maddison. There again, would how we play change with him or would he just gets dragged down to our pace.
Annoying how difficult we make recruitment look when Spurs have transformed their side with a few shrewd signings built for the pace of the PL. We look miles behind them. (and are 8 points)
Maddison joined the only club that was interested in his service and played really well so far. I don't remember his name was linked with other club at all.
I was joking
Absolutely embarrassing dive.
He was linked with Newcastle all of last season.
Utd signed Mount, so you guys did sign a midfielder, just like Arsenal signed Havertz.
So this is what good football looks like.
Willing to give Mount more time ….whereas Antony probably worse signing ever
I remember that's the winter window, but did Newcaste bid for his service in summer? I can't remember. Newcastle can offer CL and probably higher salary i imagine, just not London life style.
That first half performance is about 5x better than anything United have done so far this season
It's a big what if but had we picked up Maddison instead of Mount I can't help but feel we'd be doing a lot better.
Either way it’s a waste of £150m.
Entertaining though Spurs might regret the amount of chances missed
Yep, wouldn’t argue that
We haven't seen enough of Mount, he likes what Antony brings but wish he brought more going forward.
What a difference a year makes. It was around this time last year we beat spurs 2-0 at OT and that was widely regarded as one of our best performances, a sign of things to come under ETH. How did it go so bad so quickly...
He was supposed to be signing for Newcastle but not sure what happened there. Either they blew the money on Gordon instead or he fancied London more once Spurs got interested.
This is where Kane leaving actually helps a bit otherwise he'd be occupying all the spaces Maddison is currently thriving in and instead he'd have to try to influence play from out wide which is much tougher.
Spurs should comfortably win this now, Fulham were clinging on at the end.
We'll see where they are after Christmas.
Injury crisis at the back, not selling players he wanted out, not spending wisely for a long time, off the field issues, Mr Stroppy Sancho, cannot keep the ball, pace of game too slow, cannot put the ball in the fecking net. His preferred goalie having a couple of howlers. Not knowing what is going on with the sale of the club. The list is long.
Because football moves on quickly and a manager's tactics usually get found out soon enough if there's little flexibility there as seems to be the case with ETH.
Fernandes still starts majority of games at number 10 so that's the first big issue right there.
Maddison needs to be starting for England in proper games. Midfield trio of Rice-Bellingham-Maddison looks like it would overwhelm so many teams and that's before adding Foden, Saka and Kane into the mix.
We should have put the money for mount, rasmus and onana together and instead paid whatever it took to get kane.
Lasy years team + kane is a lot better than our current one.
Easy. Glazer, bad. Manager, good. Maguire, bad. Onana, good. Not getting top-4, bad. Getting top-4 while getting humiliated against our biggest rivals, good.
I don't have a problem with Rasmus, but we overpaid for him. I also think he needed an experienced striker in with him to learn from. Who exactly is he learning from?
Spurs lost Kane and look far better for it
But they have better attacking players than us. Ones who actually score goals.
No doubt. They also create chances for a striker.
Spurs have had the easiest fixture list by a distance, still look good though
Spurs with no Europe and out of league cup is going to make them nearly a cert for a CL place. Still no trophies on the horizon.
Or is it maybe them not playing a back three with a deep defensive line. Not playing two central midfielders. Not playing a creative player. Not having a manager who dislikes all of the players.
I mean it’s a completely ludicrous and bonkers suggestion that they look better cos Kane left. Replace Richarlison with Kane and Spurs would be significantly better.
Maddison scores. 2-0.
They'll create loads of chances with 'Angeball' but playing once a week makes such a big difference. Gel quicker.
I’ve been there a few times now. It’s comfortably the best ground in the league. It’s fantastic.
What did someone say about Bassey?
People saying they have no soul, these new stadiums. The fans bring the soul.
Knife through butter. Madison is by far signing of the season
Fulham playing from the back when Bassey can't pass one little bit.
Maddison with easy finish.
Maddison with easy finish.
