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 funny thing is, City looked total shit.
Welbek off for Berba. what else
Yea so erm, what the feck?
buy snijder ffs!
Do we still have that last minute fighting spirit that has typified the Scholes, Giggs, Neville Era?
Now we will see of what he's made of!!
Chin up de Gea
Chin up de Gea
De Gea is at fault. It is as clear as day.
It was too obvious where this half was going.United playing half arsed football and City looking solid at the back.
No need to panic another 45 to go and you know never to write of United till the whistle blows.
I think you have been reading too much RAWK..
That's the joke
Real kick in the teeth that last 5-6 minutes.
Keep that shit out of here ffs
Well done Phil Dowd, 2-0.
We need to push Anderson or something forward cos Rooney and Welbeck are dropping off meaning we are lacking options up front at times as they are trying to get into positions again. Thats why Hernandez worked so well, he always stayed at the top, but today we have nobody doing that.
it will be even worse for confidence if SAF decides to substitute him
Jesus Harold Christ, same old negative matchday thread.

Terrible defending by Ferdinand and Vidic for the first goal. Lescot in between both players and not challenged in the air. Neither player got a jump to try and head the ball.
Poor from Vidic not closing down Dzeko for the second and De Gea could have done better too

To be honest, we did control most of the first half
The new VDS looks more like the new Ricardo at the moment. On a serious note he's young and learning so lets give him a bit of time.
We're producing very little chances to score. Food for thought for SAF.

NOT De Gea's fault on either goal.
Very poor defending for both goals. Why was Dzeko given that fecking space and why was Lescott pretty much allowed a free header? I'm more concerned with the shit from Rio and Vida then De Gea
yet some people deny we need a fecking central midfielder.
Doubt Fergie would shame De Gea in public yet.
No support for Rooney up front.
Anderson has done well
Carrick, Rooney and young did feck all in that half!
i dont really blame de gea the ball did dip viciously in front of him and yes he should have been closed down - they ran straight through the middle from their half to ours
Hairdryer for Evra, Ferdinand and Vidic and a chin up for De Gea.
Wheres that French Pop Idol winner when you need him?
We haven't lacked creativity. We should've scored by now. We had 66% possession at half an hour and we were literally all over them. Passing through their backline for fun. But since they scored we've completely lost our heads.
They couldn't get in the game while it was 0-0 but since the first one went in our positioning has gone to pot. Literally the team is all over the place and that was illustrated graphically by the second goal. Dzeko could've driven a tank through the middle of us even though the Keeper really should've done better.
Its worrying to see us lose our heads like that just cos we go 1-0 down. Irritating as it is we're United we shouldn't just mentally collapse when we concede.
Only one?
we dominated them then they had once chance - bad defending by Rio and Vidic and it was a goal. Second goal all De Gea fault.
Our front 4 looks quick and sharp but we haven't actually tested Hart at all. Terrible marking on the first goal and Dzeko was allowed to simply saunter forward and shoot with no pressure from our CM's at all for the 2nd.
Definitly on the second goal.
We were playing very well until their set piece goal.
Went to shit after that.
Can still get back into it.

Fair call for the first 25 mins but we just got cut through too easily after that.
I get the first one. But the second one id expect the lower league keepers to save no problem if im honest.
feck 2-0 down and we were the better side for 30 minutes, after lescott goal, we go into collapse mode.
and we were the better side for 30 minutes, after lescott goal, we go into collapse mode.De gea at fault yes, but no way should dzeko being given that much time and space. He had similar space to messi's goal in CL final. We linked up well, but 2 soft goals.
