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.
Could you please buy Carreras back already? Another assist by him.
Am I blind or does the benfica player get the ball?
Lille look like a pretty good outfit. Unbeaten in something like 22 games in all competitions.
Aw Tella slips and hurts himself on the advertising hoarding after scoring a goal for Leverkusen, which was all for nothing as it was ruled out for offside.
Barca 
Benfica 2 Barcelona 1
Absolutely clownshow in defense
Ball over the top of the highline and Szczesny rushes way out and collides with his defender leaving the Benfica lad with a tap-in.

Barca goalkeeper with a howler there.
Wow, incredible mix-up with Barcelona’s goalie coming out and colliding with his own defender far from goal. Easy goal for Benfica for a 2-1 lead.
Szeczsney should be shown a red card for fouling his own player like that.
Why did they get Szeczsney again? Surely any academy keeper would do better than this clown?
Some really poor form being shown by Salah and Diaz. Diaz is heavy on every touch and Salah's end product is poor again.
Was he in goal for Arsenal for the 8-2 game?
Pen for Benfica!
Szczesny having a mare
Szczesny having a mare
Barca keeper giving away a pen now.
Is it me or was that a tad soft?
I think he was. Maybe his brain broke that day.
Isn't that a massive dive ? No touch and he jumps way above the keeper
Szczesny giving Benfica a two goal lead.
That Alvaro Carrera kid looks like exactly what we need right now. A pity really.
Szczesny deserves a halftime ciggie for that hattrick
If the challenge like that which doesn't win the ball means you have to jump to avoid it, it's still a foul.
Álvaro playing really well.
Such a naive tactical setup by Flick. He's just playing to Benfica's strengths. It's like he didn't study Benfica at all.
It pains me to say it but he's a very good player. Best left back in Portugal by far. If I was United I would definitely get him back.
Did VAR check that Liverpool goal for offside?
Would be want to come back though?
1-0 Salah. Not been a great performance. Lille have been resolute.
The TNT commentator seems to be simultaneously arguing goalkeepers shouldn't come out for that type of play, szczesny didn't touch the Benfica player, and that it is still a penalty. I may be interpreting him a bit uncharitably ln the first point.
Edit: Actually, I think that's Sky.

I would, too. I really don't get it, if we prefer stronger athletes to him, especially if they are going to cost more.
@Sly might have ulterior motives here.
Those things can all be true though.
I think so. United have the option so it's not like he would be too pricey. Same as Amorim, they were confortable here but playing in the PL in a club with United stature is too good to turn down.
Barely, though I think the first bit is ridiculous when you actually look at the replay.
He was a mile onside, to be seen within a split second.
Awful goalkeeping though, could’ve been first on the ball had he not retreated initially.

Nah, I'm really talking as an United sympathizer. He's a very good player. He's having an incredible season not only here but also in CL. His performances against Atletico Madrid and now Barcelona have been top notch.
Did we let him go or just he wanted to be playing?
