Nah, that'll be after their next game against Villa when he has his two open goals and a penalty in a game they would have won 6-0 without him anyway.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) review both the Everton and Bodø/Glimt victories at Old Trafford. Listen to the guys discuss 2 wins and 7 goals in the last week, analyse of the Amorim formation, focus on Amad and how he is playing, and also take a look at Hojlund, Rashford & Zirkzee – who starts v Arsenal?

What's clear is that Kane is still easily the best striker in the PL.
About as reliably as you and the naysayers
I think he's class
You didn't think that one through; duhhhh. I just love how defensive you lot get about him.
Again; duhhhh.
He's class, don't get me wrong, but feck me, they are so precious about him.
I'm wondering how many goals he'd score if there were actually more people on his team than just De Bruyne trying to feed him the ball.
Man City don’t play that way though. It’s not like they don’t want to find him.
300 goals all competitions, no trophies
He gets ignored a lot by his teammates
You say that as if it means something... We have no Mbappé, Lewy, Benzema, not even an Osimhen in this league.
GQ cover jinx?
Haha - not all of you guys!
It seems like they don’t at times
Can't wait until we start playing to his strenghts
Ferguson, and even Solskjaer, would have used this guy and his runs correctly.

I’m not defensive, just pretty sure I’ve seen you gleefully post when he’s had an underwhelming game. Maybe I’m confusing you with someone else? Pretty sure I’ve seen you trot out tired lines about people just defending him and Ole just because they’re Norwegian.
He's a class goalscorer, but that's all he is. He's a net negative for them.
Some coincidence that Dortmund are suddenly putting together their first proper title challenge since before he went there as well.
Probably stays there 3/4 seasons max. Hell go to Spain
What's his release clause? Activate it, bring him where he should have been in the first place, or buy Kane and swap.
Worth keeping in mind that Bayern lost Lewandowski to Barca. A striker considered better than Haaland.
Square plug for a round hole? I mean you can't argue with the goals he's scored but is he scoring more as an individual affecting how many city score as a team? And is it making them a little more predictable?
I think it is. I'm not sure Pep actually knows how to balance the team with him in it. Hence the muddled line ups and formations. He has a destabilising effect on Peps rock solid philosophy and system and it's beginning to show.

Just doesn’t suit the city style of play or team, they don’t like playing the risk ball over the top or through the middle and haven’t been coached that way for years to be fair to them. His runs constantly get ignored.
I think he’d be a different animal at United with Bruno behind him

100%.
He’s scored like 60 goals this season, I doubt he’s being ignored.
Surely it’s on him to make himself available and become more involved in these games? Even Rashford has stopped the constant I need to run behind here attitude and actually comes to the ball
Him not scoring today is all down to Luke Shaw, not Spurs.
You're definitely confusing me with someone else.
Aye, but Dortmund's Haaland replacement was diagnosed with cancer as soon as he got there, so they're probably still about even on the 'losing a striker' score.
Didn't realise Shaw was playing for Spurs
A bang average footballer in a freak body, not close to prime Zlatan who was also quite overrated.
Why have Dias and Laporte been on the bench the past couple of weeks if they are having to play such shite.
Aye, agree with that. He's a phenomenal goalscorer, but overall, he hasn't made City a better team. I thought City was a strange career move for him, as Pep doesn't exactly play to his strengths.
Ronaldo like dry spells
When will we see him dropped against top teams this season?
He kinda was. Social media made him better than he was. Was a well known choker in the 2000s
Being only a class goal scorer is something 99% of teams in the world would be looking for from their number 9. He’s picked the wrong club in City and vice versa.
What club would he have been suited to? All the top clubs have had their best seasons in recent years playing with strikers who are far more well rounded, Bayern with Lewa, Madrid with Benzema, Liverpool with Firmino, City with Jesus Aguero and whoever as a false 9, what would have been the right club for him if City is the wrong one?
In that case pardon the crossed wires. It’s been a while since I’ve bothered to engage and I got it from several posters.
He’s Jose’s dream striker and peps nightmare, for me of all the top teams he could of gone to city was the one who wouldn’t bend to play to his abilities, Liverpool like to move at pace, United are strong on the counter both would of played to his strengths, slow build has got him 25 goals but if it was fast they would of been unstoppable.
Didn't get a sniff tonight and looked pretty easy to defend against. Obviously a brilliant goal scorer but not much else to his game.
