Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

Dalot
What game are some of you watching? Ugarte hasn’t put a foot wrong in that 1st half.What a touch from Zirkzee thereGet your head up dalotI don't like Martínez having limited passing angles from the left-back area. His impact in the build-up is limited from there...but when he plays centrally with great passing angles, his height becomes more of an issue.
He really was, he put in some of the worst performances I’ve ever seen. Not sure what you saw.Obvious offside. Why let play go on for that longWhy the feck isn't Dalot passing the ball there?
I think we want a more basic 6 who can join the press if needed and then one of the defenders just moves into the DM role when we’re high up the pitch. He’s done well this half.Why so late with the flag?Zirkzee is smooth as silk. That was well offside, flag should go up right away .Zirkzee just isnt a striker. He doesnt even go into the box in transition most times. He's a very tall 10.What is the point of not raising the flag there, you make everyone run all that when you know it's offside.
Won 4 tackles out of 4 and they still moan.
Even imagining that was the sole reason, which it wasn't, that still leaves us with one past-it DM in a team that still needs to play a DM even in a better structure.
Again, not exactly a huge leap to imagine why we might want to sign a 23 year old DM who in the last 18 months attracted interest (and in one case an actual purchase) from PSG, Chelsea, Liverpool, etc. Him not suiting Enrique doesn't change the pretty clear rationale for all those clubs, and us, wanting him.“They let 58 goals in last season, which was the most since….whenever”
Love it when commentators do their researchWe’re just standing off themI am too impressed by Zirkzee yet.Has Bruno done a single thing right this game?
Watch him pop up with a goal or assist in the 80th minute.For the people who are super critical: For United players this is one of 60 games of the season, while for most Twente players this is the game of their lives. United don't look too bothered, Twente going for it.If only there were players who could actually converse the link up play of Zirkzee into something more meaningful he would have been called the new Bergkamp already.
Yep that's what we needed. Loads of tackling, not better control and positioning.
Casemiro 3.3 tackles per game last season. Ugarte 3.9.
A little more I suppose.Would love to see Zirkzee score
Dalot behaving as though he cant be arsedI'm ready for our second goal now.Wasteful from Bruno again."Conceded 58 last year, which was the most since... Whenever"
Top notch commentaryNice effort from MaguireMazraoui is class
You can exclude Chelsea from that list because a guy playing in my local field also attracted interest from them
But you’re not talking about Casemiro’s poor positioning or diving into tackles or pretty obvious huge flaw of not being able to run.Love how comfortable Mazraoui is when stepping into midfield.
Yeah but he also hasn't scored a hattrick, done some mad skill tricks, and hasn't even stuck the nut on any of the opposition. Absolutely no goalscoring skills, no mad skills, and no passion. Useless.Bruno has had a really quiet match tonight, I wonder if it’s tactical or he’s lost some confidence?
From all of our players he was not the one I expected to be this unmotivated. Should get called out for it.
In most games this season he’s got on the end of a cross near the 6-yard box. He hasn’t had the goals from those chances but he’s definitely getting into striker positions.
Just said that Maguires never scored a European goal too‘Maguire never scored a goal in Europe’
He scored against Atalanta..My head hurts, why was Amad there clearing the ball
