Summary

#979 | Ed and Dan look back on  United’s 1–0 win at Everton. It was functional rather than convincing but a vital three points as United close in on a return to the Champions League. There’s plenty of praise for another excellent Senne Lammens performance in goal under heavy pressure from Everton’s agricultural set-piece routines. When, if ever, are referees going to protect goalkeepers who are now routinely fouled? It’s all Mikel Arteta’s fault. Despite the victory, was this another case of United struggling to break down a low-block until Benjamin Sesko’s entrance on the hour? The striker now has six goals in his past seven appearances but should he have been on from the start? United will face another team willing to sit deep at the weekend, with struggling Palace at Old Trafford. Surely time to change it up in attack. 00:00 Introduction 01:46 Senne Lammens’ performance 06:23 Sesko's Goal, Squad Rotation 10:01 Set Pieces 18:06 Kobbie Mainoo and Midfield Control 23:51 Squad Depth and Youth Players 33:43 Spurs Relegation Battle 38:24 Women's Team 40:31 Crystal Palace If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

0:33.2

We're talking about Everton, Nill, Manchester United One.

0:36.7

I'm aired with Daniel. A good win, Dan. I know.

0:40.9

It was a win, Dan. Yeah, yeah, it's good to have. What it actually means is going to be contextual

0:46.9

in that if United play, like, there's loads between now the end of the season, even if they end up

0:52.4

winning a lot of those games, it won't be good enough enough and Carrick won't get this job. But if we play better, then we'll look back and say that was a good three points because there will be days when you don't flow, when the other team make it difficult and it is difficult. Then you still win, then that's the sign of a good team. It's just whether, yeah, we can't play

1:12.1

like that often, but to play like that sometimes and win, that's fine. Yeah, very true. Two games

1:18.0

in a row in which United has struggled with a team that's quite happy to play a low block. I mean,

1:22.2

Everton spent none of the first half trying to attack at all. A bit more in the second half.

1:26.5

Obviously they got, I think it was 11 corners and what I would get onto those. That is just not football. It's absolutely horrible. And I blame Mikhail Arteta, former Everton player, of course, drag him off to the Hagen Triumph Crimes. But a lot of pressure. I tell you what, like not to relitigate this too much,

1:45.9

but if Andreanana had been in goal, we'd have lost that game.

1:49.9

73 won.

1:51.8

The poor guy would need to be in therapy after that.

1:54.3

But Senna Laman's for 20 million euros, whatever he cost.

1:58.4

He's proving to be an utter bargain.

2:00.0

He had a few dodgy moments

2:01.4

towards the end of Amarin, but he's just looked completely calm under Michael Carrick was excellent

2:06.7

today. He stopped everything. I think he made four saves, some very good ones in there, and just

2:11.9

pretty much dealt with all the corners as well. Yeah, I mean, he's proactive without being reckless and he's confident without being

2:20.3

a novice, I guess. Edwin Van Dessar was on Monday night football and had a lot of, a lot of praise for

2:27.1

him, said he felt like he was like him. Yeah, very calm and does all the basics. Yeah, it might be

2:32.8

attitudes, but then when you say something like that, you're like, okay, fine, he does actually think that he's good. Because until that point, I was kind of thinking, yeah, okay, you haven't, like, you just said all the stuff we already know, but just saying that, even though it's not a fact, or it's just an impression, then you think, okay, he does, he does actually think he's good. And yeah, you're right.
