TAA is so wasteful. Constantly trying those Hollywood passes and not one working out

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.
fecking hell, Gomes is tiny 
TAA has given the ball away so many times. But people will rave about the accuracy of his passing.
Carsley needs to drop Harry Kane to start a new era.
The size of Gomes. It's like when I used to create the shortest person possible in PES.
Boring 2nd half, England with just one shot since half time.
Gomes is such a lovely player.
Is he nicer than Seamus Coleman though?
How tall is he?fecking hell, Gomes is tiny
1.68m apparently. Same as me.
Think he's about 5 ft 5
I agree but who replaces him?
Watkins? Toney? Solanke?
We aren’t really blessed with top tier centre forwards, but nobody really is any more, it’s a dying art.
Also it will never happen.
Was wondering how long it would take for our resident intellectuals to laugh at Gomes's height
Under a different manager I think so, Carsley (at least from previous jobs) tends to favor more attacking options. It'll be hard for Wan Bissaka if James stays fit. I'd say right now he's probably behind Trent, James and Lewis in the picking order but at least Trippier and probably Walker are out of the wya.
Damn. I’m seven inches taller than him. That is very short.
He’s a left-back. Can he also play well on the right?
Alright feck off.
Any of them.
Sorry!
Wheatley could be in with a chance. Obviously depends on how well he develops.
Are you actually? Aw cute little fudgey.
Bet he's better at football though.
Lewis is a right back. Rico Lewis not Lewis Hall. He's currently benching Walker at City, plus Carsley is a big part of his development and loves him.
Could be double figures if not for Kelleher.
Horrible nasty trolls.
There is no way he is 1.68m.. He looks tiny.
The average height of a pro footballer is probably around 5'11 or so even "tiny" players like Bernardo Silva or Messi are like 5'8. So Gomes is probably around half a foot shorter than most.
Not sure Harry Kane was actually playing.
Oof. Looking at the Germany squad / lineup just really hit me with the reality of Müller's, Neuer's, and Kroos' retirement. Especially Müller's. It feels very very wrong. Why must the passage of time be so cruel?
That is true.
What the feck. I thought Rico Lewis was a left-back. I thought he was backup to Cancelo back in 2022. Although I remember seeing a post describing him as the next Philip Lahm.
Exactly. They were the last remaining players from when you won the World Cup in 2014. Someone born in the 90s being that age doesn’t seem right. Me being born in 1999 and being fecking 25 is scary. In five months time, I’ll be 26! Twenty fecking six!
Relatively strong lineup from Koeman, be interesting to see how De Ligt and Zirkzee do
At least one of them will get injured.
Sorry but being more than twice as old as you is scary
You’re even older than my dad!
He's played zero minutes this season. Carsley in his first press conference said that one of the reasons this specific squad was picked was the fact that they've all played minutes for their clubs since the start of the season
