In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Good point, Ronnie. 
It's bollox like this that got Hodgson the sack.
Talksport is gold right now.
I remember reading about Ferguson doing the same 'sealed envelope' until Bruce or Pallister called him out over it.... Something along the lines of, "Is your name in one of those envelopes?"

That bit didnt happen.
alastair with more of his deliberate misunderstanding.
Anyone see his post match interview?
" a near perfect away performance"
that wont go down well....
" a near perfect away performance"

Does he know that you need an away goal for it to be a "near perfect away performance"?
But but they won the posession...
I guess now is as good a time as any, to shamelessly recycle this:
He's going down the same route as Rafa and Kenny, he's creating an illusion that everything is fantastic, so much progress, playing great football, some incredible performances and completely ignore those pesky "points" that teams like United lose sight of everything else and become obsessed with. The problem is that his bosses aren't stupid and will be pulling the plug soon if they don't see progress in the important currency of points.
He is losing it already, shame.
I fecking love him. Liverpool just sends managers round the bend. He will get to next xmas at the most and will get axed if there is no real improvement. Then they'll employ someone else and the cycle will repeat.
who do you lot will next? surely martinez won't touch this lot.
If Wigan go down (and I think they eventually will this season, their team is dire) he'll probably want a Premier League job so he might end up there after all.
It was Martinez's system. He left and Sousa tried to change things afaik andthe players didn't have a bar of it and he was sacked. Rogers basically walked back into the setup and put most if it back to the way it was and with the lack of pressure was able to take it forward.
Add in a few ego's at Liverpool and people doubting that he knows what he's talking about... Suddenly it's not so easy to be all seeing and all knowing.
Don't see Liverpool winning the Europa League even if they somehow overcome Zenit in the return leg. They are out of the FA cup (to Oldham), didn't do well in the league cup and are worse off in the league with the same no. of games played under Dalglish last season. Now surely of one those envelopes has his own name on it!
I heard the three names in the envelopes are defence, midfield and attack.
Fair play to him for saying this:
"I can only thank the people of St Petersburg for their hospitality shown towards our football club and how we have been received here. It's been fantastic.
"There were no problems tonight at the game - it was a wonderful match and a terrific atmosphere. On behalf of Liverpool Football Club, I'd like to thank the people of St Petersburg and Russia."
As for the football, he made mistakes again last night.
Sterling should never have started, and gave no support to Enrique whatsoever.
Allen is looking worryingly average, he started the season very well but for some reason he has lost all confidence.
Whatever has been discussed about our lack of striking options before Coutinho and Sturridge arrival is fair comment, but the big problem is we keep conceding goals and until we stop there will be results like last night.
A Vidic, Kompany type commanding centre back is a must, maybe even need 2 of them.
You could argue Suarez could have had a hat trick, and their first goal was out of nothing at a time when we looked comfortable, but the passing was poor overall, albeit on a poor pitch.

but your CB's are the best pair in Europe apparently..
Skrtel was excellent last season, his best since he joined, but hasn't really formed a good solid partnership with anyone of late - I don't know why.
Agger can't defend from set pieces, is a good footballer, but I am not sure he is a top defender.
Johnson and Enrique being probably better going forward than defending doesn't help.
Should have taken the 25 million or whatever City were paying for Agger and run.
Think the Fullbacks are a bigger problem than CB's for them. I guess they can replace one of the 2 CB's, but Johnson makes constant defensive errors and Enrique isn't too flash either.

Enrique was awful second half of last season, terrible, but he has done a lot better this season.
But yes, as I said earlier, their strengths aren't in defending.
Brendan needs to sort it out big time in the summer window.
I don't understand this a flawless away performance after the first 15 minutes shit. Even if we ignore the two goals they conceded they couldn't put more than two passes together for the last half hour
I can't find that comment in his after match conference, it's certainly not on the LFC official site.
Doesn't make any sense, also just seen an interview and he never said it then either.
He said it to ITV4 allegedly
Whats wrong with this guy, who is he trying to kid? He keeps making these 'almost perfect performance' type of excuses after every defeat, we all watch the game and can see he's talking bollocks I dont get what he's trying to achieve apart from making himself look like a complete muppet.
Has anyone actually seen the interview and witnessed him saying it?
With just a wee bit of luck they could have up 5-0
oh well, he is wrong.
He has prominent nipples.
Yes.
It was the itv interview straight after the game.
And yes, he said it.
He then went on to say you left too much space behind for the goals. Which was also odd, given the first one came from henderson faffing around in the middle of the park and losing the ball leading to a strike from 25 yards, and the second one came from Glen son of John admiring the view of the stadium instead of watching the guy who had run behind him completely unmarked to score.
Are you implying he's a tit?
I read Kenny Jacket before Martinez had a hand in it all too, tbf
He has moobs, but he has got a sharp pointed nipple on that photo. Maybe Stevie pinched it. Of course he's a tit.
