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.
Quite bizarre. Someone has to knock balls down for Griezmann I guess.How the hell does Giroud start for France when he can't even get in the Arsenal team? It's not like France are short of attacking options?
Should be. Subs tend to be the rest of the squad.
I'll predict they'll do much better than in your assessment.
That Senegal team was so fecking fun! Everybody cheered for them. Scenes in Italy when Senegal scored the golden goal against Sweden
almost like it was italy How the hell does Giroud start for France when he can't even get in the Arsenal team? It's not like France are short of attacking options?
IIRC he's doing quite well for France and offers something other than the other potential CF options.
Just checked and he is on the bench.
Mbappe instead of Giroud, Fekir right and Martial on the left would be better for France imo.
Giroud does well for France though.
Giroud does well for France though.
Might as well watch the rest of them while you're at it.
yeah, but you're almost completely potty, tbf - #OnlyKidding
(you're probably right, actually)
England need some other players to get experience as they lack strength in depth. Pickford would be my number 1 anyway. Livermore should be no where near the team though.
He wasn't in the squad at all but half of them dropped out.
It really is hideous.
So it´s a young team.
World Cup 2010 Germany:
Neuer - four caps
Boateng - five caps
Khedira - four caps
Kroos - three caps
Muller - one cap
Ozil - nine caps
How did that work out?
Lindelof starting for Sweden, Darmian for Italy...ahem.
I'm going 3-1 Germany - Pickford dives too early, Ozil rolls it in the other corner at some stage of the evening
What is even the point of these meaningless friendlies, especially when none of the teams are fielding their best X1.
I really hate Italy. Hoping Sweden can do them
Bonucci elbowed in first 15 seconds
I understand your point but you are putting too much expectations on the present english side.
someone give Giggsy a job, ffs
Great run and cross from Darmian
Darmian can deliver a cross?!
I swear Darmian never did that in a red shirt
Difference being
Neuer better than Pickford
Boateng better than Maguire
Khedira better than livermore
Kroos better than Dier
Muller better than Abraham
Ozil better than RLC
That one is arguable.
WhatTime will tell. Only the goalie comparison is a mad one at their respective ages.
Now you know them. Nobody outside of Germany knew them in 2010.
SO strange seeing Tammy starting upfront for England.
Surely you meant everybody outside of Germany knew them?
They were regarded as top youngsters in 2010. I don't think anyone in that comparison (England players) will go on to become a top player.
Hazard is in beast mode.
Swipe by De Rossi on Berg.
Sorry I was going by the German players in 2010 rather then now,
Sweden are holding their own against Italy. Can't see them winning though.
Jones injured?
So it begins - Jones injured it seems.
Jones injures ALREADY!!
