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.
That looked a certain goal. What a block.
What a clearance!
I forgot that Van Dijk is Dutch. Him and De Ligt at the back, what a class CB pairing the Netherlands have.
With guys like De Vrij and Blind as potential back-ups... Far cry from the Heitinga, Ooijer and Mathijsen (who was actually a decent player though not special) days
What did you think he was? South African?
goooooal Croatiaaaa
they woke up
they woke up
Peno for Belgium. Hazard is feckin quality.
I just haven’t thought much about what country he played for really
I think it’s probably a result of watching those two Ajax Madrid matches recently, with Blind and De Ligt at CB, I just transposed that pairing onto Netherlands without really thinking much about anyone else
Personally I love Denzel Dumfries. Not sure if he'd be anything special in the PL, but he's the best pound for pound athlete in the Eredivise right now. And such a great character off the pitch as well.
First season playing on a relatively high level though, so the last weeks he looked a bit off and struggled with some minor niggles/fatigue.

If only we still had Robben Van Persie and Sneijder up front instead of Babel, Bergwijn and Memphis.With guys like De Vrij and Blind as potential back-ups... Far cry from the Heitinga, Ooijer and Mathijsen (who was actually a decent player though not special) days
Not sure if Sneijder still actually plays, but I always have the secret hope we get some injuries up front and Koeman decides to take the other two on a farewell tour to the Nations League finals this year. Surely they could get themselves fit enough for 70 minutes this summer, imagine Memphis, RVP and Robben up front against England together with our current midfielders and defenders...
I remember when Holland went in Euro 2004 with; Rvn, Makaay, Van hooijdonk, Robben, Sneijder, Overmars, Seedorf, Davids....what a team thqt was. What a team.
And they still won feck all+ Kluivert and a young Van der Vaart
They always had at least 3 world class strikers. In one era bloody Jimmy Floyd was 4th striker.+ Kluivert and a young Van der Vaart
And now they must play with false 9
Ref seems a bit biased in our favour. Kuipvrees I guess
Belarus seem content with 0-2.
What a dumb foul
Will Memphis do a panenka?

3-0
Ref in Croatia game is a legend. My hero. Azer defender did classic defender trick. Dived after minor contact when he was under pressure and put his hand around the ball. Ref whistled handball. That is how you deal with defender divers.
Hazard is two levels above everyone else on the pitch today.
Also off-brand Hazard? Couldn't find a stream.
Group G is so
POW POW POW.
PiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaatttteeeeekkkkGroup G is so
50-50% fans in Vienna?

More like 70-30 for Poles imo
Plenty of ours work and live there.
Down to 10 men due to our last sub pulling his hamstring instantly.
Holland with 10
Ah shit, should've had two but slipped

Do you think there is a good system with Lewandowski, Piatek and Milik or you can play just two of them?
Group E is crap. Giggs to win it?

Before this match I'd have said no but with Lewy's recent shit form as a #9 and what he's been showing here where plenty of times he's played as a sort of #10 (definitely when Zieliński came off) I wonder if we could play something like 4132 with Krychowiak playing the #6 role. Thing is that even then Zieliński is best at a #8/#10 role (I call it offensive box to box) and every coach of ours seems to rate him plenty (I don't) so there's that.
I mean, theoretically yes, we could, but I doubt we will. For me current Piątek is simply better than current Milik and he should start with Lewandowski.
What??
Modric. Can't describe how good he is
Virgil 4-0 from the world's hardest cross.
Hazard should really feck off to Madrid. On another level
VVD right now..
