In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
The RM defence needs to tighten up the pressure. They are letting Liverpool players have space.
Liverpool playing exactly like we thought they would. Fast transitions. Feck.
Marcelo out of position twice in 5 minutes, on the wrong side of Salah
This is going to be a stressful watch... isn't it?
Excellent awareness from Modric.
Can't Real just score five or six goals already?
Marcelo will cost RM a goal.
Kroos, Modric,CasemiroThat Liverpool midfield
Relentless.
Great tempo so far.
Liverpool have been unbelievably lucky in this year's CL. They had one of the easiest groups ever seen (which they barely won, getting shit results), and then City were the only real team in their way through the knockout stage. Drawing Roma in the semis was just insolent. Roma beating Barcelona was - while deserved - a huge anomaly that wouldn't have happened 95% of the time. Liverpool had to roll six on the dice so many times to get here.
Madrid shitting it
If it were Shaw he would've been slaughtered
Madrid defense are getting exposed on pace.
Hating every second of this
Really envious of the way Liverpool play football. It's great to watch.
Why do Real insist on trying to play themselves out of Liverpool's press? Haven't they seen any of Liverpool's games in the build-up to this game?
Weapons.
Weapons.
Madrid not dealing with the high press
They are also squaring up against the weakest RM in many years.
Pitch looks crap. Slow and bouncy.
Phew.
Liverpool are going run themselves into the ground if they continue like this.
If they don't score in the first half they should be there for the taking in the second.

It's Liverpool guys. Of course they are starting well, but they can also concede 3 in the last 20 minutes, no need to worry yet.
Real Madrid are shite.
Liverpool better so far.
Yeah but maybe they’re just a really good side.
Why the hell I'm I putting myself through this. I can't take it
Sloppy goveaway
I pray Real don't make the same mistake as Roma and play with a high line. Sane was almost in there.
Madrid needs to survive the first 20 minutes
But they are behind us in the table
It's exactly like the first minutes against Juventus.
They aren't lucky at all. They've battered every team they've faced
Emmm? let me think. 2 UCLs
Liverpool much the better team. This looks ominous.
Great take from Navas.
Best in the world. Impossible to replace, so don't even try to.

The Axis of Evil has started quite well, .
.Yep
Got to hand it to Klopp, with a midfield like that these guys are overachieving horribly.
We need to overcome these first minutes and shoot at least once to make them back a bit
