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.
They need to get Trippier off.
That free kick. Spurs had no idea what to make of that high line. Getting spanked all over the pitch but credit to city
The playmakers and FB's are the main difference between us and them. When Mendy was available as well they were ridiculous with overlaps. Impossible to defend against if it is constant from both sides, which allows the wingers to congest the middle.
I fecking hate how good De Bruyne is.
Spurs are crumbling. They don't know what to do against City, who've gone up a gear today.
From F1?? Make refs rubbish but quickly?
It’s ridiculous how every team can’t seem to outdo City.
De Bruyne's passing is extra-terrestrial.
Spurs started the game pressing well, but once City scored their goal all of Poch's plan collapsed as usual.
Now it's all City.
Now it's all City.
Spurs have given up
Has completely fallen apart without his best defender. They look clueless.
Put De Bruyne in our team and we're 11 points clear of them instead.
TBH it would be more of a travesty if they don't win matches, don't break records and don't complete a clean sweep of trophies.
Over £1bn spent in the last few seasons and they call this a "competitive" sport.
De Bruyne's instant passing is so good.
I know that we're living in senseless market and times but if we to sign him for that much, we'll deserve everything we're gonna get.
This is Man City when they miss their best CM. Compare it to the performances we put it when we're missing ours.
We're nowhere near them at the moment, and - annoyingly - there's zero shame in that.

It's like watching a small version of Barca 2009. They're forcing every team to go deep against them, Chelsea, us then Spurs.
City are the most incredible PL side I've seen. Utterly relentless. The pace and quality of their play is incredible to watch. The way they hunt in packs and give the opposition nothing. Never seen anything like it in England.
They're making Spurs look like Sunderland.
They're making Spurs look like Sunderland.
That would just sum us up, sell shirts and sponsorship, rather than actually sign the right player.
You can't even tell that Silva is missing
McManaman is pronouncing Trippier in French and it's grinding my gears.
Scouse twat.
Scouse twat.
Not the way our team is set up to attack, can't see 1 particular player making a difference on his own.
Delle Donkey - Great player with an edge to him or something.
City are dominating and shouldve had a few already. There a cut above the rest unfortunately.
How do you outdo the city pressing game? They are so well oiled at it, even with their tactical fouls. Teams need to find a way to pin them back in their own half since city love to play in the opposition half.
If Spurs don't win, atleast the minimal consolation is we won't get a million articles from journos on how Mourinho is a dour dinosaur who only wins trophies while Poch is reinventing football as we know it by putting the pressure on.
City winning every big game, just depressing.
Pep has gone to the system that he used with Bayern today.
There have been what-if moments this season. Bournemouth away one of them.
Liverpool or Arsenal will be their away undoing. You need a side reckless and gung-ho to outdo them. The longer the game was 1-0 with Mane on Liverpool would've fancied their chances.
This game shows why we never even bothered trying to play it out from the back against this lot
Was thinking of a word for it and the one from cricket immediately sprung to mind
. Descion review system, not sure hotspot is much use in football though 
Mourinho would scapegoat him.
We need to score again, no way Spurs will be so open 2nd half. too many missed chances might bite us in the arse.
This is what happens when you try and attack them, tough to string any passes together because of their pressing and then their 1 touch passing to move in to the attacking third is incredible.
I think they look better than Peps Bayern at this point

Wonder how long before his frustration shows?
United tried that, they were unlucky that Lukaku helped City winning games.
Spurs are all over the place, City running rings around.
Men vs boys.
