He's there! But yeah first game and a bunch of randoms thrown in. Hopefully we give him time, the fixtures are brutal for his start

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Eze is quite clearly better than Rashford and Grealish right now. Hopefully he's on the plane.
Agree. It’s nice to watch England in a stadium other than Wembley.
Watkins there is the clear example of why players dive.
It's not the players fault, it's the fact that referee's don't give anything if you don't go down, no matter how obvious the foul. So to get anything, you have to undergo the theatrics.

Southgate very defensive with Trent and Gallagher in midfield.
You mean Barbarez?
I’m team Keane.
Trent ain’t a central midfielder
Trent ain’t a central midfielder
TAA in midfield is not it, great fullback turned Jonjo Shelvey cm
I love watching Eze, he is what Sancho claims to be, that street football, turns, touch and go...
Eze the standout player so far. Be very surprised if teams aren’t circling around him this summer.
Absolutely no need to take TAA. Rice, Wharton, Gallagher, Mainoo are all ahead of him in the pecking order for central midfield. Walker and Trippier are first and second choice right backs and Konsa/Gomez can cover if need be. We don't need three right backs. He should be dropped but he won't.
Be a travesty if we don't take him and Grealish goes.
Ye I can feel city/Liverpool signing him
Boring first 20 mins. Palmer and Eze the standouts.
Dunk really is a donkey's donkey.
Trippers had a shocking season
Also, can Konsa actually control a ball? I swear he's tripped over it about 4 times so far.
Central midfield is really ponderous, but I suppose that is what you will get when pairing TAA and Galagher.
Palmer and Eze both looking sharp though.

If Trippier doesn’t go (I think he will as he’ll be our left back cover/starter) then TAA possibly gets in for set piece ability.
Though obviously that’s rather moot if he’s on the bench.
Eze is a baller.
Eze's cooking.
Get Eze on the plane
Considering Southgate continued to pick Henderson and Maguire when they were hardly playing, it's a bit tough on Rashford that he's not in the squad.
Hope Palace can keep the team together (and fit) for one more season
Ronaldinho esque from Eze there. Beautiful technique and close control
Eze taking to England the way Bellingham did to Madrid.
He’s basically who Grealish was supposed to be when he went from Villa to City.

If Bruno goes to Saudi get Eze
Feck that. Bring me Eze and Olise. In fact, might be cheaper to buy Crystal Palace and we'll get a Guehi and Wharton added on for free.
Really struggling to understand the Trent in CM experiments.
He doesn't offer anything in there and would get torn to shreds by a proper midfield

F*ck it get him and Olise anyway.
Eze is levels above Sancho. Intensity and physicality alongside amazing technical skills.
Funny cos you think Sancho would be older but he’s 2 years younger.
Trippier has been horrible this season. Trent is ahead of him.
If they don't start, Eze and Gordon should be the first ones off the bench.
Your username is so apt
I’ve tried fighting it for a while and trying to be positive. Then I remembered the fleeting moment of self awareness that led to me picking the name.
Still, despite being English I’m not a massive fan of the national team. United is where it’s at for me, England is a distant secondary concern. Anything that helps us next year is key.
The only possible way I see to fit Trent into the side is just to play Kyle Walker as an orthodox RCB to hold/do his usual covering job, with Trent at RB inverting into DM/RCM in possession. But it's probably just not worth it.
Trent midfield experiment should stop. He's a wingback or inverted wing back but a CM he is not.
He appreciates mediocrity judging by his past selections and tactics.
Eze is a number 10, first and foremost. It's just he's so versatile, he can play on either wing and central midfield if required.What? they play in different positions
