In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran discuss a horrific month of December and a depressing FOUR defeats in a row - the latest coming against Wolves and Newcastle.
They discuss how much blame is on Ruben Amorim and rank our squad against other Premier League teams.
Do we have any chance of avoiding defeat at Anfield?

Well @El Zoido ask yourself this, would you still go home & have sex with Megan Fox if you were her third choice that night?

Nope, I have been a lurker for a long while.
I remember those weeks of anticipation and hopefull Muppetry, I was hanging to your every word, waiting for an update
Nope, anyone who has watched Pogba regulaty over the last 2 seasons will know there is not a team in the world that he would not get into.
Comparing Yaya to Pogba
Toure was a benchwarmer at Barca on his peak. Pogba has twice the talent. Typical English to overrate premier league based players.
That said, Pogba still has lots to learn.
Toure at City is very comparable to Pogba, in my opinion.
In 13/14, Yaya was arguably the best centre midfield in the world - simply unstoppable on his day. Used to toy with teams.
Pogba will do very good to get to that level, although I think he can.
Fair enough. We'll have Isco then....

Well that was daft.
We're definitely going to sign Pogba btw.
He wouldn't get into Real Madrid's team.
Both Kroos and Modric are better than Pogba so there is no way he would get in the team ahead of one of those two.
This is happening. Keys/Bein Sports have been spot on with many Utd related transfers/managerial appointments of late.
I see Keys tweeting that he's heard we have got Pogba. I don't know, why spend that much on someone who doesn't even want to come here?, it will just be a circus every year with Madrid and Barca after him.
Keys called Pep to City in May last year and also said Di Maria would go 2 months before he did. Still, I'm sure he has spoted shit before.
They're different. And they can play together, too.
How do you know he doesn't want to come here?
Yeah on Fifa.
Pogba offers a lot more then Kroos, Kroos is a better corner kick taker and playing through balls and that's about it, Pogba is a lot quicker, stronger, dribbling and much better at finishing and tackling
He probably chooses Madrid and Barca because of the level they're currently at. CL Finals, La Liga, etc.
With Mourinho, and the signings he's brought so far, I'm hoping that we can get back to that level, meaning they'd be little reason for players wanting to leave us.
I think Pogba is already a better player than Yaya Toure ever was and l rate Toure but l still wouldn't pay the kind of money been talked about for Pogba. Besides he doesn't want to come back here and l don't blame him.It's a side
ways move for him at the very best.
We should bid up the price for Real and only pull out if Real let us have Kroos for £40m.

If the money is right they will come whether we're the 5th best team in England or the 15th best. How long he would stay is another matter but I could live with the headlines about us fighting off Real Madrid and Barcelona every Summer. It would show we're a big club again.
But for £100mil you really want someone who is going to be here for years and fight for the cause, does that sound like Pogba?
Would be fatal to go in with that thinking, because each of those 3 outgoing players would need replacing.
I think they can, and they have shown that in the past. Wouldn't always work against top teams, but in La Liga, that's only against Barcelona and Athletico.
The partnership would be very similar to what Germany have been playing with Kroos and Khedira. Kroos playing deep and controlling the game, with Khedira giving them the legs in midfield like Modric does, plus more.
£100m on a player we let go for free. We are a laughing stock.
SAF did win the PL that season in all fairness but lost Pogba.
Don't think they would.
Mata replaced by Mkhitaryan, Pogba could potentially replace Fellaini, and on the wings, in Martial, Depay, Lingard, Mkhitaryan, Rashford, Januzaj and possibly Valencia, we have more than enough options out wide.
Yeah if it were Liverpool spending £100m on a world class player I'd be laughing my arse off. Sure, he'd improve their team considerably, but their owners would be £100m poorer, which is the important thing.
Pogba can't organize a team and Kroos is much less decisive and productive. They're different and both can complement each other just well. I don't know why they can't play together.
If he feels there's a cause fighting for, then yes. Players are motivated by success. If we are successful, and I believe we will be in the next few years, then if he were to come, I don't see why he would want to leave if we were challenging for all the major trophies.
Support another club then. You people need to get your heads right. The fact that opposition fans laugh at us is because they're concerned. People laugh at us regardless of what we do. We're the biggest club in the world and 100m on a player who was let go for free, under different circumstances, under different staff and different management doesn't mean shit. We're a different club now then we were at that time. Signing a player who has potential to be one of the world's best players is always welcome at the world's biggest club, regardless of past relationships.
Why are you so worried about what opposition fans think anyway? You should be laughing at their teams recruitments. Who has anyone from the EPL's top-dogs signed that's noteworthy? City with Nolito, please. The fact that we can still attract a player who could go on to be the best in the world given our current predicament, let them laugh I say. Stop focusing on what opposition fans think and focus on the club you support. The club is eager to be back up there with the best and to be fair couldn't give 2 fecks how much money they spent to get back there, it's their money.
People laughed when we signed Martial, they laughed when De Gea struggled for his first few years and those situations didn't turn out too bad did they. Have some faith in your club. Laughing stock or not, who gives a feck we're getting a top player.
There is no room for such emotion if we're to get back to becoming a top team again. Nobody will be laughing if he bullies the league into submission.
Nothing would delight me more than to become a laughing stock for this.
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about if you think that's all that Kroos offers. He is excellent at dictating the tempo of a game and he is a much better passer of the ball. Pogba is not even close to Kroos's level. He may get there though, as he is still young.
£100m for Pogba? nah. He'll probably get up and leave in 3 seasons too.
Then what fee would we get if Real/Barca wanted him?
He would make us better. As many have said that is all I care about. We need to compete now and he would help.
You need a defensive midfielder.
£100m? yeah why not. Isn't my money.
what? Kroos isn't a top 10 player. Pogba is.
They'd need a defensive player with them, which means dropping Modric, which isn't happening.
