They’ve made some proper weird decisions in the final third

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
Thought that was the moment.
Those frenchies won't win this.
Two footed tackle there surely?
Both Nunez and Diaz lack elite decision making, especially in tight areas.
Donnarumma has been solid so far but he lowkey like a methhead who hasn't slept in ages. Is he really only 26?
Musiala should have 2 goals and an assist.
PSG just don’t have anyone attacking the area. They love playing around just outside it but when they break in numbers nobody takes the risk to get to the 6 yard box.
Knocked out by Real eventually.
Vitinha almost single handedly willing them to win. What a player.
He's been playing top flight football for about 20 years though.
It's amazing to see that these players seem to not realize that it's hard for goalkeepers to protect bottom corners.
Leverkusen really fell off in the business-end of this season.
Robertson's a bit shite now isn't he? Doesn't look anywhere near as dangerous with his running and final ball these days.
They reverted back to the mean. This season they simply didn’t score 32 goals in injury time.
Brugges or more than likely Villa
Not quite shit yet but subpar performances all season. Gets benched for Tsimikas every so often as well but he isn’t it either long-term.
That was obvious from Klopp's final season when he seemed a bit frustrated with the quality of the players he had, what's surprising is Slot doing well despite not buying a reliable striker like Isak.
Yeah, back to Bayern winning 5 titles in a row or something, i suppose.
Who's that lass behind Slot
After our tie in the league 3,5 weeks ago where Leverkusen completely dominated us and where we were very happy to draw, i would have never expected a 5:0 on aggregate.
Great mentality and ability over the two legs by every single player, with Kane, Kimmich, Musiala and Kim standing out.
The empire struck back

Salah’s insane numbers make up for it this season but a centre forward is one of our highest priorities this offseason yeah.
this corner's going in
PSG have been so sloppy at the back in the second half.
2 poor legs. Expected more goals to be fair
Hakimi has been fecking Dalot lite today.
Feel like Liverpool under Klopp would've gotten the job done a while ago.
Given these are two of the best teams in Europe currently, it has been really poor.
Tsimikas.
A couple of decent balls in there right on cue.
Yeah shite was harsh, just been used to seeing him comfortably one of the best LB's in Europe and doesn't look quite that anymore. Feels like a position you guys could do with strengthening in the summer with a Kerkez / Robinson / Gutierrez.
McAllister out for first game in QF if they get through

I haven’t been following Bayern this season. How do you rate your chances against Barca?
He is doing so well because City are a mess. Last year's City would have walked the league.
Elliott or Jones and Gakpo seem like no brainers here.
Enrique bottled or massively gambling on the second half. Didn't do anything to change the game.
A reflection of the first leg, ET about right.
Onana could learn a thing or two from Donnarumma
Ya bastard
I don't think Donnarumma has caught anything that's gone into the box.
Kerkez in the summer? He'd be a very good fit and defo a fan favourite with his aggression.
