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?!
Taking him off at the end of the game is very different to not picking him for a European Championships quarter final.
I know it's stating the obvious at this point but Martinez is an awful coach. Almost Southgate tier. Almost...
Lazy from Ronaldo.
The Bruno punt is now in play
Our FA President really thought he had struck gold with this appointment. So proud of himself. That's what you get when you have clueless bureaucrats. Our very own Ed Woodward.
Anyone with the minimum football knowledge could see this coming.
That was him all over for Belgium too. Insane killers in the friendlies and qualifiers, then mediocre in the actual tournament
Commentators (Keown and ?) are painful
Portugal need to pray for a red card to Ronaldo - it'll make them a better team.
It's the managers job to do that. Ronaldo straight up has no respect for his teammates to continue to do this. It's on the manager to stop it.
Don't worry Portuguese fans, if you don't go through tonight and sack Martinez, Tedesco and Southgate should be available soon
Agreed.
It's definitely going to happen.
Ball owner
Bijol having a good game. Solid defender.
ssshhh, now they'll tell you that the main reason you're not enjoyng this crap is because you're old.
No idea how he keeps getting these top jobs. He ruined belgiums generation and he’s doing the same with Portugal’s
Ronaldo offside almost on the half way line
fecking hell Mendes is rapid
Leao, you're just a shit Marcus Rashford.
Slovenia have defended really well but they've got absolutely nothing in an attacking sense.
It was the same in the England game.
It was the same in the England game.
Obvious man on the edge of box ignored for a hit and hope cross
Taking off leao before Ronaldo is wild
It must be suck to be attacking player and play with Ronaldo. I bet that he all the time is yelling; "I am open. I am open. Pass it to me. Pass it to me."
Oh I don’t rate him. It was akin to Fergie planning for Rooney’s decline and Moyes handing him a massive deal.
Odd though. He’s an asset. Pre tourney they had a grasp of that. Since it started it’s gone bad.
Imagine watching this crap and hearing Keown. Why would you do that to yourself mate.
What's with all the Ronaldo hate on here, yes he's very arrogant, and selfish for taking everything and has the biggest ego known to man, but come on guys
Insane.
Don't forget Koeman.
I mean, he has to eventually. Then all the Ronaldo fan boys will emerge and declare him the GOAT because he scored after being a massive drag on this fantastic Portuguese side.
Taking Leao off and not Ronaldo, Martinez will lead Portugal to being upset by Slovenia as long as it keeps Ronaldo happy
Since he’s come off, Portugal have had less control. He’s their best midfielder.
Martinez is an utter clown. He's been pathetic when handling "Golden Generations", bowing to player power in both teams.
I was saying to my partner at the beginning of this match that Ronaldo had had a decent tournament and although hasn’t brought much hasn’t been a net negative. That definitely isn’t the case now. He needs to stop starting for Portugal.
I think you mean Arsenal. Porto was from open play.
But basically, yes. He had his 2-3 better free kick seasons at United from 06-09, with some knuckleball type kicks that were on target and either went in or made for dangerous rebounds. I don't think the current generation of balls even move like that anymore, not with the same kind of technique that he used to use.
Nuno Mendes is rapid.
Slovenia is your average League 1 team against a PL team in an FA Cup tie at home.
They will lose in the last 10 minutes.
They will lose in the last 10 minutes.
Bernardo's been awful, surprised he hasn't been hooked.
Bruno has been poor and managed to stay on somehow.
Ehm....penalty?It's definitely going to happen.
