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.
Fletcher has been awful this season. Right now, too many players are out of form.
Tactics have been wrong for weeks now. Sort it out, Fergie.
Really need to sort out our defence or kiss it all goodbye
We can talk all we want about Chelsea having an easy opening run, but conceding at least 2 goals a game against mediocre opposition every game doesnt exactly help our case.
1 point closer to chelsea but not good enough, really disappointed.
Chelsea lost to City away, reasonable dropped points. We just keep dropping points that they most likely won't. fecking Everton is rock-bottom on 3pts, we are one of three teams they got their best result against so far.
Crap.
feck me that was shite!!! Had some possession, looked dangerous at times in attack. But the final ball was rubbish. And let's not get started on how poor our defense is at the moment. And was it just me or did the atmosphere feel as sterile as a hospital room. Could barely hear any of the away fans (or any fans for that matter).
Another 2 points down the drain, I know we got a goal from a set piece but overall our set piece quality is dreadful.
Yeah
2-2 v Fulham
2-2 v Everton
3-2 v Liverpool
2-2 v Bolton
Crap teams to concede goals against. There are plenty of great teams we haven't played yet this season.

I will be absolutely shocked if we win at either Valencia or Sunderland this week
Playing Sunderland away next week, expecting us to do the same again.
Why aren't we putting the ball into the middle with our corners?
This. It's not just that though. We're so open in a 4-4-2 that players out of form are exposed again and again. It's an obsolete system at least away from home for me.
To be honest, when we went 2-1 down I would have been happy to get back to 2-2 and take a point because Bolton were making it very hard for us, but it's still awfully frustrating. We had a chance at the end to put a good ball in and hope somebody puts their head on it and Nani couldn't even put a decent ball in. He scored a sensational goal today, but some of his decision making yet again (namely his crosses or corners) were a let down I have to say.
We need to sort our away form out quickly.

Well atleast Nani has either scored or assisted 7 of our last 10 goals. There are many others we should be blaming.
Not having Valencia on the wings added to today, never felt throughout the game we were terrorising their right back. Fair play to Bolton though, they actually gave us a game.
Sweet Jesus....Some of you lot.
Just because he's assisted X amount of goals so far doesn't mean he's immune to criticism. Apart from his goal today, some of his play was poor. His corners and crosses weren't great, we had a great chance at the end there and his delivery was shite.
Others are to blame as well, too many players out of form. Fletch has been poor in the last few games, O'Shea looks too slow (that bit when a ball was crossed over to him near the goal-line, all he had to do was swing the right foot at it and at least try to get something on it). Also, I think Rooney should be dropped to the bench and for Michael Owen to be given a chance. The guy has 3 goals in 2 games and should be given a chance alongside Berba.
It's evident it's just not working for Rooney at the moment, a few flashes here and there for him, but generally poor overall. His head just isn't there at the moment given what's happening off the pitch.
I am happy with the point. We did not deserve to win this.
Shaky defence, out fought in midfield.
Nani and Owen with class goals saved the day.

6 points dropped away from home against Everton, Fulham and Bolton is simply not good enough. Also, we seem to be struggling with defensive organization, and too many personal mistakes. Too many players are also out of form, the most noticeable being Fletcher, Evra and Rooney.
The amount of frustration and anger, and the lack of team spirit that is shown when we are struggling, is also a bit frightening to me. We need to sort things out quickly.

Giggs out for a couple of weeks.
It has to be Nani on the right and I think Obertan should be given a chance on the left.
we are conceding 2 goals in every game, terrible... sort it out I had enough of this shite , its costing us dear.....
Have to give Bolton and Coyle credit, they got it spot on in terms of Scholes today, he never had a moment's peace to spray it around and control the game from deep.
