Valverde's Barcelona is the weakest elite team I've ever seen in terms of belief, mentality and urgency.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. 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.
Imagine if Barca had an attacking player to sub in.
Why is Pique playing as a libero, anyway? Who does he think he is, David Luiz?

My Barca fan nephew rates Arthur, lets hope he does the business here
They buy players with high workrate and good engine under klopp like we used to .
What do you mean by this?
Barca look lost. They are happy to play for pens now.
The difference between the two clubs right now could not be more stark , we are so far back it is embarrassing.
Rakitic with a pathetic involvement before the freekick.
Sure I heard yesterday that they think he can carry on till hes 45
He probably can in the crappy la liga.
Defenders are piss poor in that league
How shameful it is.
He is very very good
Barca have become a one player team in such an awful way. Literally only hope is in Messi's legs.
Barca surely have one nailed on chance left in them?
Alba has been awful
Barca have had a few decent chances tonight but wasted them
Real Madrid been abysmal but rest of teams been at decent level, Barca were actually dropping plenty of points up to November if you look at their results.
Big issue here is it's reasonably easy to nulify their game once you get them away from Camp Nou in CL.
Get the feeling Liverpool are saving themselves for a late barrage to kill Barca with no time to respond.
Clearly they have a good set up fitness wise. It's incredible to be honest. The end of the season and still looking so energetic. Shows you the importance of having excellent staff taking care of diet/fitness.
Alba has been crap tonight
100%. That's without Salah and Firmino.
Barca too scared to concede a goal since the beginning. Theyre not playing like barcelona
Surely Liverpool can't have another season as good as this, they have to be stopped!
Alba having a shocker.
Alba ffs, I’ve seen Luke Shaw with better movement than that
We are easily watching one of the last games of Rakitic with Barça. For his sake and legacy, move to Inter this summer.
Barcelona are really an average team in terms of fighting spirit and pressing
First Liverpool corner for a while....4-0.
Alba turned into Shaw tonight. Barca always do the same subs, always the same player go off. Vidal was much better than Busquets
Game over
Barca are done
How bad must La Liga be?!
They have no balls in Barca. Only dependant on Messi to do something. This is over.
Yep. 4-0 before stoppage time. Circa min.88
Hahahahaha Oh my god Barcelona what are you doing
Was just about to type can see them scoring from one.
cnuts
Wow
What the feck are they doing
Feck me
Tie over....
