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?!

No Rashford.
I don't trust you, you thought Lampard was great

Not sure why tweet won't show up but yeah.
Maybe he can spend the summer either getting another club or getting his head together and come back ready and fully focused. Might be a good wakeup call for him.
Seems like Southgate is actually picking players on merit rather than his usual favourites.
Has England ever looked better on paper?
Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Palmer to support Kane.
Woah.

Woah.
They have some cracking players, it is just using them correctly to get the best out of them.
Should benefit us, him having the summer off is a real chance to rest up and sort his head out, it may even light a fire starting with the cup final.
What time is the squad announced? I don’t like this stuff with a new player leaked every hour. Just give me the final squad to review at once.
And Grealish definitely shouldn’t be in the squad.

A summer out of the limelight, have a good break and get his head down in pre season. Could be a whole different player in August.
Hopefully.
Hopefully.
2pm.
England often look good on paper its on grass where they seem to struggle!
How's Bellingham form been lately? In the last rounds of CL I wasn't at all impressed.
I think he’s a bit of an overrated footballer personally. With Mbappé coming in will be interesting to see how he does in the actual midfield at Real. I think he’s good, but I don’t think he’s this best player in the world contender at all.
Perhaps it’s largely stylistic for me, but as an actual midfielder, he can’t see Pedri for me.
Not entirely, James Trafford is in the squad and possibly Ramsdale.
Rashford has never been his favourite though?
Depends on which clubs have English goalkeepers, the top clubs don't.
Can’t complain on Rashford but it’s hilarious when 3 goal Jack Grealish then gets picked 
Burnley isn't a top club - Pickford, Henderson and then Butland from Rangers would be fine and all playing for their clubs regularly.
Or are we just overrating our team again?
Yeah it will either serve as a wake up call for him or give him further reason to sulk and feel sorry for himself, it’s up to him. On his form this season he doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near the squad though.
I just remembered how rattled everyone got the last euros about fans singing it's coming home

Plus Toney, who has barely shown anything since his return.
I think we all know the answer to that

Will be an absolute joke if he makes it as well. Hidden by the City title win but has done feck all the entire season.

With this tournament being in Germany it will happen again. Europe doesn't understand irony.
How does Shaw get in when he's been out injured for so long?
Probably not great news for us.
Probably not great news for us.
He doesn't really have many options for goalkeepers though.
None of our goalies play for the top clubs, Henderson is at Palace, Pickford at Everton, surprised at Stafford as he ended up dropped. It is more as you say that the first two are playing regularly. I feel sorry for Butland as he has done well at Rangers.
True. It was more a reference to Henderson and Phillips missing out.
Pickford, Henderson and Butland.
He's more of a RB/midfielder, and England are spoilt for choice on that side. Think he'll be in the squad in 2 years but this tournament is a bit too soon
Apparently he was carrying an injury recently?
But yeah he's not been great since January IMO. Only considering England form he starts, but overall Foden's been better
Yeah, although I sort of understand Trafford over Butland as Trafford is a future England keeper, whereas Butland's time has gone. Henderson over Ramsdale would be fair though.
Butland is 31, his time has hardly gone and Trafford has been shocking this season. There are no signs he is a future England keeper at all. I'm just bemused by the selections.
Kroos retiring will have Jude play as a more conventional CM ?
Nonsense. He's (Butland) never going to be a starter for England. Trafford won the tournament with the lower age groups and definitely has potential to be in contention for future tournaments and being the starter once Pickford retires.
He's a year older than Pickford. Butland looked promising in 2015, but he's never really fulfilled his potential. He couldn't get in the team at Palace and has had to drop down to Scottish Premier League level to start playing regularly again. He's never going to be Englands number one!
He’s been dropped because he has been shite this season. You want a sub goalkeeper who is playing regularly so he can step in if needed not someone warming the benches or has been dropped because they are shite.
it’s more about having someone playing regularly who can step in if needed. Pickford will be the number one.
