In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) get the depressing job of reviewing United's 3-0 loss at Old Trafford to Liverpool. They discuss what went wrong, Casemiro's day to forget, and the pressure now on Erik Ten Hag. They also take some time to give McTominay a proper farewell, and give their overall thoughts on the Summer Transfer Window.
Indeed, given some of the other photos we've seen of him he must have
Who gives a shite what Pyjama Yeti / Brienne of Tarth is up to
Haaland puzzles me. He’s obviously on a different planet where goal scoring is concerned and clearly the best in the business at that, but it amazes me how he can often not be in the game at all.
I saw somewhere it was 13 touches before being subbed yesterday? I can’t believe he came off thinking he’d enjoyed it, and felt part of the team. I’m sure he’ll go on to be 30+ goals this season but those sorts of games like yesterday must be so frustrating, I’m surprised he doesn’t go looking for the ball more than he does and he sticks on the shoulder of the defender.

MOTD highlighted on numerous occasions last season that the city system isnt setup to get the best out of him. Regardless of that he still scored a bucketload of goals.
Its one of things he has to accept in a pep system. Follow tactical instructions etc.
He was always going to be a one season wonder.
Watch him score 3 hatricks in their next 3 games now.
It’s a throwback to the 2000 striker. I remember Ruud being dropped because modern football dictated that we needed a forward that was suited to a fluid and interchangeable front line and now we have Haaland up top for the treble winners. Plus Ruud had a lot more to his game than Haaland has
Just seen his tweet about Arsenal 
He really didn't. Haaland is actually pretty great at playing football if he decides to, he just participates very little through coming short or making supporting runs.

Was his dad, the one Roy Keane broke into pieces.
My bad only seen after it was Alfie
The problem is, sticking on the shoulder of the defender gets him like 40 goals a season. He's just too good at that element of the game. Why bust a gut working when you can just do your own thing and let the likes of Bernardo and De Bruyne pick you out with a through ball 4 or 5 times a game.
He is old school in the way he plays...he is a finisher.
City create! Haaland finishes!
Sometimes you will get games where he isn't involved much, but you can easily blame the midfield for that. It might be something United need to adapt to with Hojlund, with the wide forwards having to 'create' chances for him instead of doing it all themselves.

His Dad is the one Roy Keane tried to break and failed, all Keano did was Traveller himself
Bumping this already 
I think he’ll outscore last season personally.

It’s gonna be a long season.. took just 3 minutes before he hit the net…..
Inevitable
Here we go again
Please don't say we're still doing this?
That's what she said.
Hat trick every week.
In all seriousness, he has hit the ground running. So much for a season to settle...

Best striker I've ever seen. Not including the goat freaks who were mainly wingers
6 touches of the ball, 2 goals.
where the feck are Madrid when you need them!

Could have play for us you know. If only whatever
Any plausible scenario where a team finishes ahead of City this season likely involves Haaland being injured for extended periods.
yeah if only keane didn’t end his dads career
He is AI.
Considering Arsenal were well ahead for months until bottling it, this is not necessary at all.
On course for 76 goals this season in the league alone which is a mental stat
cnut.
Let’s all take a moment to remember the poster that didn’t rate him.
No wonder Kane fecked off.
He'll probably come close to outscoring United this season
Could be close, already 2-0 up
I have to agree, just an absolute machine.
I’d really value it if he goes and continues doing this in the La Liga & Serie A the way he is in the PL - no reason he shouldn’t.
I value consistency & versatility really highly - much more than technique or consistency in 1 league.
Like a GP vs a specialist doctor of a single sector/role.

He won't leave EPL. EPL nowadays is like Serie A in the 90s. It has 6 teams competing for the top 4 spots. Villa and Brighton are doing really well last season as well.
