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.
Romero would have saved it.
With one arm tied.
With one arm tied.
Sure you can.
I would have to review, but I seem to recall his first two involvements wound up with him losing the ball, and then there was a terrible attempt at holding off the opponent where he lost the ball later in the half, and then that run down the wing. That's just going off memory.
The one where he was attempting to shield the ball and failed he definitely had plenty of time and options, and he was faaar away from Giroud, so putting that on him makes no sense.
It's not as if we've not become incredibly familiar with Pogba doing that most matches for United either.
It doesn't off-set him mostly being an incredible asset for his team, but it is something he could easily do away with and which would benefit him and the team.
Edit: checked out the start of the match again, one of the "dispossessions" I recalled was a shit attempt at flicking the ball to a team-mate and instead giving it to an Argentine player a meter away from him. Fair enough, so he lost possession at least 3 times in situations where he insisted on dwelling on the ball. I still stand by the point that he does it too often for my liking.
And to re-iterate, yes, he's been great this match and I think he's a great asset to United as well.

Originally it was Rashford or MbappeMbappe or MartialChrist.
France at least in good position again now, 4-2 and game is done. Just hope they don't just sit back on the lead again. Argentina already a player less in central midfield now.
Pogba and Mbappe yeah but thought griezmanns been pretty useless
Agreed. He's a special player.
This a classic.
Finally one sane decision. Argentina, if giving up the team play, should put all their individual talents and crowd the box at this point.
Bring on Aguerooooooooooo.
Ridiculous goalkeeping. It was easier to save it.
too bad the kid plays for those PSG scum.
They have missed him real bad in this tournament
I thought him everything he needed
i don’t normally care for players outside Utd, but can’t help admiring Mbappe. Just so good and only 19!
Really? Feels like a lot more.
Why is aguero looking like a stripper at chippendales?
Otamendi bringing that City ingenuity.
How? Nobody stops that kind of goal, the guy is in the box at maybe 2m from you max, and he shoots, which keeper would save it 100%? The ball should not come that close!
Messi losing his head with a terrible free kick and follow up shot.
Mbappé is absurdly good.
Hahahaha
Jesus
What? Messi is average in this game. There's nothing suggesting he's "truly great".
All over.
4-2 Mbappe again.
Another!
What a goal.
Hat trick!!!!!!
Edit: ok maybe not
Edit: ok maybe not
Knockout
Oh have they missed him. Romero is legit good.

And France are through.

4-2
Wow!
Goodbye Argentina.
