Which should get the alarm bells ringing. Maybe we should save the money and get Luke back to his best?

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.
Bit like Robben players always seem to show him on to his left and then wonder why he smashes into the net
I agree, but tell that to the 500 mou’s tactics are shite threads
We couldn't string two passes together for most of that game, but yeah, brilliant tactics
What moderation? They're on pace to destroy just about every record and playing every Top 6 side off the park. It is remarkable whether you want to believe it or not.
They will have 52 from 54 after today. That is reality, not hyperbole. I'm not saying they wont drop off or that they'll be the greatest ever when all is said and done - Just as of right now I've never seen a PL team so completely dominant. They're incredible.
If that was Klavan we would be punished with TWO penalty kicks.
Sorry was meant to reply to padri.
This game already feels like a forgone conclusion.
Spurs are useless.
Spurs are useless.
Harry winks seems to be shouting at lots of people
That first half was a Winks and Trippier masterclass

Gundogan has zero power
I meant in the Premier League.
You need a striker in form, a mean defence and a midfield which can force mistakes to get the better of them. We haven't seen how they would respond to a defeat in the league, their response for me will be telling.
Someone must surely do some drugs test in this city team. How the feck can they press like that game after game and still look so fresh every match?
It was the application of the tactics not the tactics themselves. We are usually great defensively and let them score from two set pieces.We couldn't string two passes together for most of that game, but yeah, brilliant tactics
Telling of what ?
Hope baldie fecks off to PSG soon.
Eriksen and Kane need to get involved more in the second half if Spurs are to get a result tonight. Poch's tactics are clearly not working against the monstrosity that is this City side.
Anyone else thinking drugs?
What is that white smoke in the stadium. Did anyone started a flare?
They press in phases. Sometimes Aguero does it. Sometimes De Bruyne does it.
Plus they hold so much possession that they don't need to press constantly.
The Liverpool game was key. They had looked pretty poor up to that game and did so in the early running against Liverpool. Aguero scores against the run of play, Mane got sent off and they panned them 5-0. It gave them the confidence and started their awesome run.
Unfortunately we will probably have to wait until one of his players to have serious health issues down the line for it to come out in the wash.
I thought that was rain.
Not even a defeat now would change anything, they're unplayable at the moment. Not because they're extra special at football, just their confidence is rocking.
Technically, tactically, physically and mentally scintillating to watch.
One day...
One day...
Anyone else thinking drugs?
Yes, I'll go have some right now. This is a depressing watch.
Barcelona and PSG would run rings around them. An in form Bayern too.
I think the top 6 bar ourselves and City are weaker than last season or at the least they have had a dip in form, and that is certainly contributing. Look at Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal, none of them are as good as they were last season. We are stronger, but we brought that defeat on ourselves through 2 silly mistakes.
Also look at the lower teams. Almost all of them are struggling for consistency and form, bar Burnley. So they have become fodder for an incredible team like City.
Its a foregone conclusion that top teams have some legally grey drug practices. However, Guardiola's Barcelona team were implicated in some scandal in Spain that was brushed under the rug.
The execution was obviously bad, but sitting back and playing it forward to your physically strong players is still better than playing directly into their strength and trying to get out of their press with players like Smalling, Matic and Herrera who are simply not equiped to do that.We couldn't string two passes together for most of that game, but yeah, brilliant tactics
For all the "amazing", "out-of-this-world", "extra-terrestrial", football that "no-one can live with" Prp's golden boys are ahead by a solitary goal from a badly marked set piece header.
Way ahead of youAnyone else thinking drugs?
I'd guess they don't actually run a significant amount more than anyone else. They're just coached to a tee in terms of when and where to press. They do it in concentrated area of the pitch & spend very little time without the ball.
We have one player who would try to do it. The rest just stand there. As you say, you have to share it out in phases.
Fog mate, visibly hard to see in parts of the North West as it's that thick.
The same way they've won at OT.For all the "amazing", "out-of-this-world", "extra-terrestrial", football that "no-one can live with" Prp's golden boys are ahead by a solitary goal from a badly marked set piece header.
It's not only about the goals scored, it's about how they're going about their business. They play beautiful football, they've become ruthless at killing off games, even their wing backs create more chances than the wingers from most other sides. It's just a very well oiled machine in full flow.For all the "amazing", "out-of-this-world", "extra-terrestrial", football that "no-one can live with" Prp's golden boys are ahead by a solitary goal from a badly marked set piece header.
Ederson is no Bravo unfortunately.
Ahh quite dense it is.
