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?
The footwork on display in this tournament has been fecking atrocious overall. So slow, stuttery and clumsy.
No.
Please score the 2-0.
You at half time already?
Dumfries would do well here
Decent, not overly special.
Why not shoot the first time?
Hopefully Onana is watching these Euros so he can see that catching a ball isn't as risky as putting it every time.
Do the Dutch have any natural left footer in their front 4?
About all their forward players in this tournament have been right footers. Made their game a bit predictable, but those players also aren't willing to shot with their 'weaker' foot for some reason.

The quality in the tournament is lacking.
Van dijk is a diva.
World Cup > Euros
He's just a quicker maguire these days
Nothing to Schout about then?
It really is. This has been another dull game.
I Just know what's about to come!
The Dutch need to bring on Cruyff
Yeah, I don't think he's been very good defensively. Didnt cover himself in glory against Austria, but on the ball he was one of the few who didn't wet their pants when pressed. A really good trait for a young midfielder.
I think part of that is because these countries know each other a lot better and the hype surrounding it hits different. In general I find Euros a lot more chess like in play even when some of the top teams had larger shares of WC talent walking around.
Yeah and atleast 10 times better at everything else compared to Maguire. But besides that they are identical
Netherlands should have scored 2 or 3 and might regret it later.
We are the draws of international football. It's why threads with our matches get double the replies of any other.
Who pissed on Shearer's cornflakes.
Romania had a good first 10 minutes. After that we took over but we should be atleast 2-0 ahead now.
Dumfries causing a lot of issues for Romania. Memphis playing quite well but he is shit at set pieces.

Dumfries is about the one player who wouldn't have looked out of sorts in a team that had Davids and Seedorf before. Imho.
Dumfries always stands up when we need him honestly. If he were good enough to play that pass onto Simons' right foot isntead of between his feet he'd be the best back in the world.
Southgate bringing Ed Sheeran to the England training session today to lift spirits. FFS. If anything, it'll deject them even more. Sheeran's the only person who could make Southgate look as charismatic as Rowdy Roddy Piper.
He does lack the final ball though. He puts a lot of energy in the game and ends up at the right spots. However his cross is then overhit or he misscontrols the ball.
He is a good player but misses the pure talent on the ball to be an excellent player in my opinion.
Fair enough. Not quite WC but extremely consistent. What you said though again makes me wonder why the hell Frimpong isn't playing again bc that weakness you described seems to be exactly that players strength.
Reijnders my boy!
This tie should be over
How did they not score??? 
Depay... you'd actually expect him to miss that.
Memphmiss
Why is it that every time the ball is loose in the box everyone immediately turns into my fat uncle's Sunday league team?
Schouten is having a decent game, nothing special just good positioning and picking up the ball.
That Dutch front 3 has absolutely no brains whatsoever.

Dutch battering them
Malen seems to struggle a bit with the weight of being his team's star player.
