Summary

#120. On this week's show Ed & Paul look back on United's opening day defeat at Everton - dissecting Sir Alex Ferguson's team, tactics and the outlook for the rest of the season. We talk transfers, with United signing Robin van Persie and Alexander Büttner since last week's show, although there is no sign of that long-debated midfielder anywhere. And we delve into the disastrous form of Wayne Rooney and Nani at Goodison Park, talk injuries and Michael Carrick's role. Meanwhile, in the world of finances the George Soros fund bought around two per cent of the club - what does this mean, if anything, for United's future?No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

The So, There was several players out of position, three in fact, and obviously missing a court head of central defenders

0:34.2

ever turn up for it a few new players to integrate into the side the old problems in

0:39.9

central midfield and and all of that so yeah pretty disappointing starts the season got to say

0:44.2

pretty well deserved the defeat on the balance of the whole game and play

0:48.8

obviously united had a lot possession and and that kind of stuff but there you go they're

0:52.4

starting three points behind it effectively.

0:55.0

Yeah I mean the one decision that's been talked about a bit which I feel entirely unqualified to answer

1:00.5

at En Bessar asks whether or not we should have perhaps played Wutner, Central in Central Defence and

1:06.7

Karick in Central midfield.

1:08.3

I think the only reason why you'd think about that is because you'd disrupt one position, not two, and I was going to write a piece of the blog

1:14.4

in which I argue that the the problem wasn't so much Carrick has sent her back he did as

control there and I think there's something in that so playing Wooten there would have

made we could kept Karak in midfield and obviously that Karak's goals partnership and all of that good stuff.

1:35.2

Having said that, putting a 20 year old kid against Falaney who was just on a fantastic game.

1:40.0

Everything he did turn to gold, didn't it?

1:42.0

And I don't know whether that would have come out any better to be honest

1:45.3

I like character was bullied most of the evening yeah I mean as soon as I saw the starting lineup

1:50.7

but soon as Rio tweeted that he was having a terrible day it I started to get the

1:55.7

fear really very odd decision to play Valencia at right back do you think that's because

2:00.8

Rath's picked up a knock he was on a bench, so he's clearly fit.
