You expect it to be very bad, but it's actually worse. How do you do it, Sir Gareth.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
Foden gets the ball on the wing, cuts inside, passes back to defender. Every single time.
Just turned on 3 mins ago and I'm already bored
Gallagher is playing so high. I honestly don't get it.
Like watching us, slow, slow and slower!
To be honest as good as Mainoo is, it doesn't matter because of Southgate, the way he has the team set up to play it's going to be this shite no matter who he plays
You can see these lot wilting under the pressure.
This is atrocious.
Rice not showing for the ball at all. Doesn’t want it or the responsibility of progressing it.
Haha Gallagher always passes back or sideways when under the slightest of pressure. And still you have people saying that Mainoo isn't ready or won't make as much of a difference because he's young. Ridiculous.
Yes. Without the goals.
These are going to be a pig to breakdown. Very solid team playing a team with practically 0 creative ideas.
More of the same, Kane way too deep, Foden/Bellingham taking up the same positions. Passing way too slow and way too easy to defend against.
Not taking Rashford or starting Gordon are terrible decisions.

Not condoning it, but if ever a player somewhat deserves being hit in the head by a bottle from the crowd.....then Pickford, I'm just saying.
It's probably more exciting turning the TV on and off.
Playing walking football.
Deadly dull.
Foden isn’t a left winger. Trippier can’t offer much going forward being a right footed LB. Kane is dropping deep. Rice isn’t a DM, he’s box to box. How can a manager earning £5m not see this. His suggestion was to play a RB in CM.
A Slovenia goal and we're fecked.
He is not where he should be. No tactical awareness at all.
Southgate has just sapped all the confidence out of this team. Sad to see.
Enlgalnd look like a team who have spent the last 3 days bitching about gary lineker and convincing themselves they have a hard job and no one understands.
Because that is what they have done.
Winners go and do it. Losers talk about it. Kane is a natural loser. He'd find a way to come second in a one horse race.
This year, he manged to come third.

Explain to me what was so impressive about their performance then. I thought both teams were shite. Austria had an intense high pressing start which we failed to deal with and then Malen thought you know what why don't I just kick it into my own net for no apparent reason? After that it was a game that went up and down with neither team being impressive on the ball and some terrible defending from The Netherlands, especially from VVD, Gakpo and Schouten handed them two more easy goals. Basically every stat in the game goes against Austria here as well.The fecking nerves
It takes some ability to set the England players up to look so awful. Put an old school 1980s just go out and play manager in and they would be better. Southgate is possibly worst manager I have ever seen
Can Croatia still qualify?
They've had a few chances. We've had NOTHING.
England have zero confidence. The whole happy camp thing Southgate created has gone. Probably because he dropped good England performers based on club form. He’s now making really stubborn decisions. Was always shite tactically so it’s a recipe for another shitshow.
True, Southgate is useless but at least pick the best players.
I’d like to see Slovenia destroy us just to see if it made Southgate change things in the next round.
Which one is England?
England always look like they are playing with 10 men.
Gallagher’s passing is really limited isn’t it? Already had a few occasions where he’s had the chance to slip a little ball between the lines and has just turned backwards.
There is no attacking intent from England. Just happy to move the ball around in the middle of the pitch.
Would love to know what the idea from Southgate is.

No problem playing there since our back line is pushed right up. The problem is he isn’t showing for the ball.
God damn England are boring
This is so poor
Clough would make this lot a joy to watch.
Yep I agree, at least Mainoo might give ye a moment of magic
We are so incredibly shit.
Slovenia has a population of 2 million yet are living through an era in which they have the best cyclist in the world, a top 5 basketball player in the world and their country playing in the Euros.
Not too bad.
