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.
yeah, damn straight. some of them are even human and alive. and anyway, my friends are real friends, not drug friends.
What you on about? rimaldo has many liked minded and affluent friends.
Mate, what do you think they are doing in training?
I think those are fair observations. I will say though I was okay with all three subs, would just have made a couple of them a bit sooner. Maybe for personal preference I would have liked to see DVB get some minutes or like you say have Pogba on with Sancho for a bit but it's all pretty minor. He might not take as many risks with his subs as some might like but at 5-1 up and with a lot of fitness considerations ( being the first game of the season) I think it's a bit too nitpicky.
Subs were clearly just about giving people rest/minutes, rather than how they would impact the game. Game impact didn't matter at that point, so it's a really unfair criticism IMO.
My only beef with the subs was that Bruno was again left on for the full 90. We need that bloke wrapping in cotton wool, and resting whenever it's sensible to do so.
Sancho was a no brainer
If there are two players in our squad that we want back to playing their best, its Matic and Martial. Both will play important roles in the next few months, and both need a confidence boost after poor seasons last year.
Great opportunity to throw them on during a comfortable game where the crowd is in carnival mode.

We could and should have scored more goals instead of taking our foot off the pedal.
This league could go down to goal difference and we could be sorry for not pressing for more.

You must be the only one. The other seem to be inflatable or, worse, imaginary

Yeah, my mistake, I was so happy with the win, I forgot they’d scored.
James should never start, so I will say that was a bad sub from the start of the game. Ole has 1 really weak point, and as the OP said, its subbing, it is just mind boggling how bad he is at it. Like dude, just b/c you came on the last 20 minutes of every game doesn't mean you need to do that with everyone, he was a special talent, we don't have another player on the squad like Ole. He gets this subs thing down, and he will be a very good coach!
The result speaks for itself, but there really was no reason to bring in Matic instead of Donny for mop up duty.
Here we go again. You can't defend his team selection for first half. Hope we can turn things around.
His first real test
It’s one of those where you can defend it if it works. I thought the team selection was fine, but he needs to make a change. If he doesn’t make a substitution at half time, he needs to adjust the formation.
I imagine no-one will come on until the 70th minute. As is tradition.
EDIT: Wow. The 59th minute. That's new.

Here we go again. Awful team selection with a resulting performance we all saw coming, then subbing Fred instead of Matic, and chucking Lingard on in minute 85 out of desperation. It's like groundhog day.
Awful game management, again.
I have no problem with the selection. We have seen this type of performances regardless of who plays. We don't move the ball well enough when we face a compact defense.
We all watched Matic last season running about like it was soccer aid. Him starting games at this point is major incompetence.
I feel like Ole doesn't fully understand what subs can do to help change momentum within a game.
Matic staying on for 85 minutes was a crime

Bringing on Sancho for martial early was good. But taking off Fred and leaving matic on was criminal. We did feck all with a mctom matic midfield and had to drop pogba deep to do anything
I stopped being bothered when it comes to subs and Ole.
Two points dropped against a team that will finish 15th at best.
Matic starting was Ole's way of telling the board to sign a DM.
I thought only toxic Jose would self sabotage to put a point to the board?
He's timing and number of subs is just absolutely piss poor.
how is lingard or anyone going to affect any game in the 86th minute?
If you're going to want to change the game with subs put at least 2 one time, not one 56th, one 76th and one 86th minute.
Seriously annoying but I lost all hope with subs having any effect in games under Ole

It’s pretty worrying that he doesn’t seem to understand how making subs can change a game. Matic staying on for as long as he did was pure negligence.
Apparently you just have to be worth in excess of £70m to be subbed before the 70th minute.
Now the Van de Beek treatment makes sense.

The "actually influence the game with your tactics Ole thread"
Another one on him
Another one on him
So which minute do we see James inevitably subbed off after another shocker for Cavani
Should be right now but I’m guessing 65th min ?

James is bad but is not the issue.
We need the double pivot when your single central midfielder is Fred.
We need to swap James with the corpse of Matic or play DVB

This performance is only Solskjaer's fault.
You must make a change before half-time .

Posts like this are so fecking stupid
He really thinks that....that is the problem.
Of course I’m not and I can guarantee that Solskjær isn’t either. It’s fecking stupid to claim that he will be.You are happy with this performance
Tbf it is very rare to sub a player before half unless injury occured. Let’s see if he makes any changes on the break
We would be 4-0 behind against a good side.
Nothing works today....NOTHING.
