Summary

#125. On this week's pod, United's defeat to Tottenham at Old Trafford; the Reds' second Premier League loss of the campaign. We ask why United can't seem to stop shipping cheap goals this season, and whether it's the defence, midfield, Sir Alex Ferguson, or all three that's to blame. We review United's away victory at CFR 1907 Cluj in the Champions League - a game in United came from behind to secure three points with a fine double from Robin van Persie. Just four more points in as many games should ensure that the Reds reach this season's knock-out rounds. Also on the pod this week - your questions, the Ashley Grimes scarf competition winner, our view on the best and worst TV pundits. Finally, we look ahead to United's trip to Tyneside to face Newcastle United this weekend. Can Ferguson's side avenge the 3-0 loss at St. James' Park last season?No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

The So, Yeah, it was amazing because you know, I've talked a lot this season about how I'm just trying to enjoy whatever happens and in the first half was a real

0:34.5

test of that because it was bad and also dull from United you know it was just

0:38.5

completely limp and that last room Ferguson looked he looked like he was in a state of shock and fury on the sidelines.

0:45.0

I mean he really, he did look visibly stunned and you know I don't think any united fan seeing

0:50.9

that starting lineup was particularly stunned that

0:53.0

United were deathly poor in that first half.

0:56.0

No, no, no, that's right and I had to say it's a bit of a pattern these days, a feeling of

1:00.2

doom and negativity when the team sheet comes out and too often and most of it's associated

1:05.3

with midfield isn't it and too often we think oh no there's a bit of a soft underbelly in the center of

1:10.3

midfield there what are we going to do and that kind of played out although

1:14.0

you know some pretty awful mistakes through the centre of defence as well.

1:18.6

Let's let's take this a bit at a time I mean it first of all I can't wait till we talk about the second

1:23.4

half because that really is one of my even though we didn't win the game my

1:26.1

ended up absolutely loving that game it was amazing to see us tearing it trying to score

1:30.4

up the strepford end and the crowd going absolutely ballistic.

1:33.6

I mean really was like an early 90s football all over again.

1:37.4

But that first half was the epitome of the worst aspects of 2012 Manchester United. I mean gigs in the center of

1:45.0

midfield well not even really in the center of midfield and a sort of weird

1:48.6

hybrid left-wing central midfield a sort of role incredibly ineffective and completely out of the game.

1:54.7

And the Central midfield of Scoles and Carrick, which was just completely overrun.

1:58.2

I mean that partnership's been so effective, but we've talked time and time and time again about

2:02.4

how the way to get at them is to pressure them.
