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.
Why are Portugal still playing three at the back? Did they play like that through the qualifiers?
Created the best chance of the game
Their goal came against the run of play, so it isn't over for Portugal.
Quite incredible to see C.Ronaldo still doing a very good job at his age.
Did the keeper have his hands behind his back before that?
Like Prince Phillip inspecting the troops
Why is Ronaldo still on
Portugal's wide players have been anonymous
Yes we are losing so we put a CB Inacio on. If we aren't getting sabotaged by this spaniard on purpose i don't know.
You can't take Liverpool out of the player
How did Bernardo not get taken off there, worst player on the pitch today.
If Martinez takes off Ronaldo, Ronaldo will sack Martinez before he even sits down on the bench.
He's used of it, taking great teams and making them prime Wigan is kinda his thing.
Martinez got the team wrong.
Their squad is still probably the strongest alongside France at the tournament. The importance of the manager in international football is often overblown
The guys another Southgate. Wrong tactics from the start
Get the old man off and you might still have a chance.
Nani would've been off for that
Load of shite.
Correct.
At least you guys pulled a win. We will get a draw at best.
God almighty I can't stand that Jota prick.
Why are they protesting so hard over the high boot? Ref wasn't even intending to book
Yes. Typical Dalot. To be fair most of the Portuegese team were half asleep.
The Spanish Southgate
Harsh on Pepe
The solution is clear: Sack Martinez, make Bruno a coach/player, send Donaldo and Silva home, tell Leao he'll be the new Rashford if he continues to play like that.
Feel like they’d be so much more dangerous if they took Mendes and Ronaldo off. Moved to four at the back, and brought on Pedro Neto for the pace they badly lack, and Ramos or Felix up top.
Midfielders were sitting too close to the defense.
How does Martinez get to manage Belgium and Portugal? Southgate is very limited but at least he’s not been let loose on other countries.
That can only improve them twice
Santos had the right idea having the balls to drop Ronaldo. Pity he wasn't much good at the other stuff.
Own goal
1-1. OG.
Own goal 1-1
