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?!
Considering the quality England have on paper, creating nothing for 94 minutes is just embarrassing.
Hard to imagine us improving enough to beat a decent side, but you never know I guess...

Switzerland will give us a way harder game than this if we don’t switch it up. That’s the concern
I think Switzerland are favourites for that game. Southgate has seen 4 matches now and still can’t figure out his team or tactics.
The Swiss are clear favourites on the tournament performances so far.
Switzerland will beat us. I thought we'd beat Slovakia comfortably and then lose to Switzerland. We're worse than I thought.
They should beat England. Used to playing in the knock outs. Akanji, Schar and Xhaka are all playing better in this tournament than their English counterparts. Front 3 of Ndoye-Embolo-Vargas will cause England all sorts of issues on the counter attack especially as England have big issues on the left side of defence now.
With this performance level England aren't getting past Swiss/Holland/Austria with their lack of structure, pressing, passing. Extra day recovery for Swiss aswell and they cruised through the Italy match.
Perhaps another freak goal but they generally only happen once every couple of tournaments. Bellingham also misses a potential SF if he gets booked next game unless the cards get reset at that stage.
He was hardly above and beyond. Was marginally better than the other dross out there. Shouldn’t have been taken off.
Portugal, England and France are playing poorly. Even Germany needed a little help from the var.
Apart from Spain, this euro has been very poor in terms of entretaining matches.
And to make it worse, the refereeing has been very poor too overall.

Well we made that hard work. Performance wasn’t there again but we kept going and ultimately got a bit lucky. Mainoo was great for the first hour, Palmer was really good off the bench, others weren’t so great though Kane and Bellingham deserve loads of credit for delivering when it mattered.
Southgate is very fortunate his players bailed him out, he didn’t manage the game particularly well as most of the tournament.

Survive and advance is what it’s all about.
If kobbie gets booked in the next game dies he miss the semis or does it reset
Slovakia deserved better to be honest.
Was hoping England would go out so Mainoo could go on a holiday and be ready for the season.
Oh well congrats England on a lucky win.

What do you expect after winning a EURO knockout
Swiss might be favourites on performance..but they're not. They just aren't. Won't be with any bookie.
Save us Switzerland
did more than any other dross while he was on the pitch
Jokes on the rest of the world right now.
Ha ha ha you suckers, you have to watch more of that!

England are like the Man Utd of international football. Regularly have one of the best teams on paper, but usually get outplayed by better coached teams and might lose or win with moments of magic.
Great result. I actually think not setting the world on the fire might do England good and help us get to the final. As underdogs vs a team like France/Spain we might actually win it.

It's so annoying when a player is lamenting on the ground and then an adversary comes to bother and lift him up, in an obvious attempt to signal virtue.
He can get up whenever he wants without your help, prick!

but winning those kind of games can creat some team spirit as well. we will see
Kane doesn't know what to say.....he knows they're shite.
Probably watch the highlights of this game and falls asleep
Is that show any good?
Slovakia are a pretty dirty side thought. Loads more should have been booked.
Hope Georgia can give Spain a game.
"I know the fans at home would've enjoyed that" - Harry Kane with an early contender for the most wrong statement of the week.
They are definitely a better coached team but don’t have someone like Bellingham, Foden, Palmer, Kane.. who can win a match with a piece of brilliance.
Nice to see the belief flow back into the English fans here, and in general, and in the media, so that we're all ready for the inevitable.
The only small thing is we may perform better when we haven't got to break down low blocks. We just struggle against those teams big time. A more attacking team will be more open.
Guess we will see if Southgate’s luck runs out against the Swiss.
yes, but it resets after the QF, so you can't miss the final
I will never understand why any football fans do this
Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Sabitzer?, Spain in the final?
A yellow card in the quarterfinal is wiped off if a team qualifies, but a red card will suspend the player from the final if a ban of two or more games is handed out.
Shit on a stick football marches on.
Harry Kane, rocket scientist.
They are the ones who look right old idiots.
On the positive side for England, knockout football is all about getting the job done and that win might ease some of the pressure with the manner of the comeback.
Swiss will really fancy their chances though. They are a really good side and with the extra day and a fairly comfortable win against Italy they will go in with confidence.
