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?

Damn it. Wanted Cannavarro and Seba.. it is going to be slim pickings for round 3 down our end.
Seeing Vierchowod made think of this
Great battle.
Getting Cannavaro on pick 29 was good goin!
To be fair, it's not the peak version of him. Although he was still fantastic for Parma.
Not fair on Vierchowod was around 40 that time.
And to be fair Fenemeno did similar things to Maldini who is rated the best defender with Baresi in that era.

It's usually pointed out as a good job on Ronaldo, no need to get defensive.
Should have been off. But yeah, a younger Pietro wouldn't have needed as many fouls.
Ffs, Signori and Ferrera gone.

Not being defensive just nipping in the bud predictable future arguments as a result of the post.
Just looking at the last few picks, it seems not to be the best time to be bottom. Most at least level and more often improve on whatever we have done at the bottom... and the advantage resumes in R3.
Also notice much better drafting. It used to be the case 5-6 shot themselves in the foot terminally in R1-3. No signs of that.
You didn't deserve him.Ffs, Signori and Ferrera gone.

Agreed, lots of champs and experienced drafters in this draft combined with a rather limited pool. This is going to be tough.
Should've been off. Ronaldo also scored in that game though, even if it wasn't Vierchowod's fault
It's so annoying when other drafters don't leave the best players for you to pick?Ffs, Signori and Ferrera gone.

Maybe ask for an "EAP only" rule change?
I’m usually at the bottom of drafts and ultimately it hasn’t made much difference in terms of quality as the draft has gone on. I agree though... the difference in quality between round 2 and 3 is going to be pretty big. Round 8 onwards everyone will be picking anyone they can find.
I usually prefer 13th or thereabouts (10-13) but this pool looks primed for the earlier picking giving you first dibs at each of those stages.
Not that I envy being 1st or 2nd, the long wait between picks could decimate certain positions, but 5th-8th is probably a better place to be in this one.
I was trying to fit them all including Zidane. So you need to add him as well at the expense of one cb.
Obviously not the best use of Rui Costa as an inside right but too many cooks
When you can't find a perfect fit, always put them in a diamond.
Is what I would have gone with as well.When you can't find a perfect fit, always put them in a diamond.
Possibly swap Rui Costa and Zidane though. Rui Costa with his skillset and work-rate was more equipped to play in a more deeper role than Zidane. Not to mention, Zidane also had more goal-threat.
Or just put Zizou as a libero
That was a lineup made with the redcafe drafters and voters in mind who am sure would have found Del Piero and Zidane wanting to operate in their favourite slightly overlapping spaces on the left as troublesome
Zidane is simply surplus to requirements in that team.That was a lineup made with the redcafe drafters and voters in mind who am sure would have found Del Piero and Zidane wanting to operate in their favourite slightly overlapping spaces on the left as troublesome

You misspelled Rui Costa.
If you are going with that formation under no circumstance whatsoever does Zidane not start as the #10 but good to see you back at your snake oil salesmanship best.
Dino Baggio
Pls update list

Firstly, independently of him being my player, as far as 90s Serie A is concerned, Rui Costa was IMO a better and more consistently influential performer. He just didn't play for Juve or France. Zidane is the better and more successful player over the course of his career, obviously.
Second, in that side with Del Piero and Brehme he is a better fit, not just because his favoured left/IL channels are well taken care of, but particularly without knowing who the other midfielders are.
Zidane had a setup that allowed him complete freedom in a dominant team, while Rui Costa had to adapt between being a free #10 or dropping very deep to orchestrate the transition.
In Juve's lopsided setup without a particularly expansive leftback I'd take Zidane though. Different #10s, horses for courses and all that, in what is a comparison of fine margins (but hugely relevant given the importance of the role to the team and it's functioning).
