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?!

Who said he is our best midfielder?
He's 6th choice for midfield. He's behind case, Bruno, mount and amrabat. When 3 of them are out, it hurts.
Nobody. Amrabat is fine, for now. I'd rather have spent the money on a position/player that we actually need - rather than an experiment.
So many leaps in pages… turns out 90% of it is talk about Mason Mount.

Well this is the Offtopic Caf..
He's definitely got a very high ceiling.
The bar for getting miffed gets lower by the day.
He’s just upset Mainoo is going to get game time instead of McTominay.
Where does he live?
He’s definitely not our best midfielder now but given his talent and the fact that he’s learning from the likes of Casemiro, I can see him becoming a starter very soon, and since the rest of our central midfielders aren’t exactly top class, we could very soon find ourselves in a situation where Mainoo is one of our most important players.
He's better than McTominay
Also, why does everybody claim that our entire play is built around Donny van de Beek?
And what’s this with Pellisti being better (as a person) than Greenwood, Antony and Sancho that is so commonly held?
And lastly an unpopular opinion: Onana is one of our top 3 current keepers, including Ely Harrison!
This is how adamant truths begin their carreers.
Mansionster?
Never watched the kid play but based on what I am reading here getting my hopes up.
Imagine we get 2 productive midfielfers in him and Hannibal from the academy.
That right there saves us 100s of millions, cant describe how invaluable that would be.
Along with Garnacho too.. Amazing.

Nice.
And here I thought the sky is the limit for this lad. Turns out he couldn’t get higher than tops about four or five yards.
I know very little about this lad but why on earth do such expectations get put on him by some? United have had some great players turn out in their midfield and he'd have to be pretty darn good to get in the Top 15.
Just pump the brakes until he's put together a body of work to suggest he can even play regular PL football before anointing him as a potential great?
I think he’s very obviously taking the piss
I would hope so but I've previously seen quite a few geese described as swans on here in the past.
Usually because we churn out a load of crows in the midfield area
This may sound crazy but I can see ETH using Kobbie as a right back in the foreseeable future. When everyone is fit we will have
Casemiro, Amrabat, Mainoo, Eriksen, Mejbri, Mount, Bruno,Gore fighting for 3 places.
ETH effectively used Timber as a right back pushing into midfield when Ajax were attacking. I can see him doing the same with Kobbie. He certainly has all the qualities. Eventually when Casemiro calls it is a day he can move to DM

There’s no point training him completely out of position, give him minutes in midfield where we actually want him to play long term.
Funny saying it to a poster with Dutch in their name. The literal home of schooling players in as many positions as possible before they settle, where that eclectic mix is seen as invaluable.

Reckon he might be back for Brentford,gut feeling is that Galatasaray will just come too soon
I am excited about him like everyone, but it definately is considering some of the midfielders have played for the club. He is obviously very talented, so was Pogba, Morrison and several others. To make that statement on a teenager who has barely played a game yet is at best jumping the gun a little, I would consider it a bit disrespectful to some of our past players.
He's having a laugh, obviously.
With him back and some others too, our midfield starts to look good again
Do you not see how others would find it kind of hysterical and stupid for lack of a better word for someone to be banging on and on about Mount (still a relatively young player who has heaps of top level experience and assisted in a CL final win) in a thread for a really young player who is just slowly breaking through this season but who also has done absolutely nothing in the mens game yet? Mainoo looks a really classy prospect but this kind of overly negative posting all over the place about the manager/his signings/Murtough/the owners is ruining this forum. There’s no respite from it even in threads where we can be cautiously optimistic
Looks like I may have gone a bit too early with Brentford,sounds like Sheff Utd after international break would be more realistic
Every time I come in here some cnut is talking about mason mount. Is there not a better thread for that
You literally bumped this thread to talk about Mason Mount.
I thought Mount had a good game on Tuesday.
Victorian detached apparently
@pacifictheme you bumped this as the poster above points out and it’s also your only post in the whole thread!
Feel free to add to the discussion about Mainoo.

I keep coming in to see if there is injury news I have as much to add as the people arguing about mount.

It shouldn't come as a surprise to you that other players are being mentioned in a player's performance thread. It happens in every single thread, and it will always be like that, so not sure why you bother with that remark!
