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.
amazing! What a guy. A reminder tonight of why he is arguably the best tactician in the game.
Tonight?
Really?
Was a drab match where we drew away.
Brilliant.
That was Batman-esque from Jose.
Got into Liverpool heads on and off the pitch. Real real shame we didn't score that chance.

That was great and spot on .
.Good quote. They looked very average today, which is nice after all that hype about how they were going to do us 4-0 (which I'm also guilty of).
It's true, Liverpool have been getting massively overrated this year on the basis of beating Arsenal's reserves, a poor Leicester side and Chelsea on a bad patch.
Liverpool have over the years produced similar big game performances away from home, would think this was the first time they have done so this season.

We successfully parked the bus against them, managed a mighty 35% possession and created all of one chance.
Oh yes, we fecking showed them didn't we.

One funny sentence doesn't make him the best tactician in the game.
Henderson said no team can compete with them when they play well. Arrogance and delusion run right through that club.
Oh yeah, we drew 'shit' team with the most expensive squad in EPL.
Best tactician indeed.
You don't agree that he completely shut down one of the most in form teams at the moment?
Huh? Parking the bus makes you the best tactician in the game?
In fairness, he qualified that. Literally.
So shutting them down is our aim and job done for a world class manager like jose and a team like united with so many stars and expensive players in it?
Should we celebrate?
Blimey. Settle down. If we'd have nicked a couple of goals against their press, then perhaps this sentence wouldn't look so silly. But it was a 0-0 draw, and Liverpool weren't really up to much. They were worse in the first half than we were in the second. It wasn't a result to rave about.
Tactics were spot on. Up top our players didn't offer enough, Rashford had a real off day as did Zlatan and Pogba so you can't exactly blame Jose for that.
And they weren't playing away.
Honestly I have blamed the manager for every poor performance until now, but tonight's lack of chances was more down to Zlatan, Pogba, and Rashford having stinkers more than anything. If we can play like today with some more incentive up top with a Micky/Mata creating as well as a Martial with pace, we could have a great season.
Really?
Klopp made plenty of digs himself, they were much more subtle though.
Not sure downplaying Liverpool's quality makes sense when we're mostly all happy to have come away from there with an ugly draw.
They have a good run of fixtures coming up. I don't expect the hype around them to die anytime soon.

Parking the bus means inviting pressure. We pressed high and totally nullified them. It is called tactics against a home side which at the moment is pretty free flowing and pushing well above their weight. You do this and then you get one or two chances in the game and see it out, like we would have if Zlatan scored.
Fair enough.
My worry is we've spent literally hundreds of millions and our new players look poor again.
Surprise surprise
Raving? Didn't mention anything about the result. Simply admiring his attention to detail and adjusting to changes in the game.
He needs to start talking shit again, I'm not used to this agreeing with him lark.
I am sure all the bottom half team does it with shit players. So sometimes they lose because of it. Should we call all their managers, good tactician or even master tacticians when they draw against top half teams?
Us being shit atm is that simple.
If only football was that simple, eh?
You must have missed the majority of the game, because L'pool did the square root of feck all for the first 60 minutes of the match. We should have created more, but chances in games like that a few and far between. For all the prematch hype surrounding the Scouse, they were fecking woeful for large parts of the game.
The best tactician that had to rely on his goalkeeper making two world class saves?
I'd estimate 15/19 Premier League teams to go to Anfield this season will lose, it's obviously not as simple as just saying "let's park the bus". He set the team out well with a gameplan, and executed it well throughout the match. Tactically a lot of managers would have lost out there tonight.
Oh come on.
I have been absolutely fine this year. I've supported us. I've been getting behind the team. But all last year we heard "if we had Jose we'd be top four now" but it just hasn't happened. We've done the double over Liverpool the last two years, that's tactical genius. (Genius is a strong word, I regret that)
Who cares about the money, we have plenty of things to be excited about this season. We will get much better, still early days. The only way is up!
