Summary

#347. So, is this a crisis yet? While United's manager might have you believe that it is all the media's fault, Ed & Paul wonder whether José Mourinho's hyperbolic performance this week might not have been a smokescreen. After all, it wasn't the media that put three past his team at Old Trafford on Monday night! On the show this week, a look back at that thumping defeat to Tottenham. Is Mourinho totally at fault? Is it his players? Or the owners? What next for the club? As always, there are plenty of listener questions answered and a look ahead to next week's fixture against Burnley.

0:00.0	And the So, So Paul, did you enjoy that game? And just to be absolutely clear, look forward to Burnley is definitely
0:34.8	not the right word. I'm 100% not. God it was miserable wasn't it. I thought we were

0:54.1	But I thought we looked all right.
0:58.3	Yeah, my problem with this is I wonder whether we're not we as a collective of Manchester
1:05.1	United fans over indexing a little bit because it's been so bloody awful as soon as we get a half
1:10.2	decent performance.
1:11.2	We're like, yeah, we're back, lads.
1:13.8	And it wasn't really that.
1:15.3	I mean, United had a lot of shots, which is unusual.

1:24.0	Marigno both against Leicester for some weird reason and but a lot of long-range
1:30.3	shots and shots from not great positions.
1:33.7	So, you know, the XG isn't that high on this game.
1:38.2	So it was, yeah, it was better.
1:39.7	And I think what you take heart from is the players showed a little more fighting spirit than
1:46.0	against Brighton.
1:48.0	It would be hard to show less, wouldn't it?
1:49.7	And a few tasty tackles went in from Herrera and Fred and others and Shaw was bombing up and down the left hand side, perhaps the only positive from the night really.
