Is Declan rice a creator apart from set pieces. Bruno is a creator and many levels above rice in that department. Ridiculous to have sweeping opinions after one game.

Leadership is not listening to all the hype and especially after what happened to ole, as soon as he became permanent manager it literally turned to shit overnight.

May be worth giving the new midfielders more than 90 minutes and writing off Baleba before he's played a game. The need for so many podcasts means the need to make snap ill informed judgements. Top 4 is the aim this season, nothing's changed

3 new midfielders in, 1 haven't even played, but it's a problem we need to address? Could you be more stupid

I see you’ve waited exactly 90 minutes to completely write off everything about a club. Predictably consistent.

The argument held some level of substance until you mentioned Paul Pogba at the end 🤯..absolutely nosedived thereafter. Whilst undoubtedly talented, he lacked sufficient discipline to be a properly functioning midfielder alongside Bruno.

Bruno doesn't give you legs??? He runs the 90 minutes and is pretty aggressive after the ball. Do you even watch games???

Can't wait to revisit this pod at the end of the season. Spurs are definitely going to finish above Utd based on this podcast.

Think you’re putting a bit of a positive spin on things Jonathan👀

Such a hyperbolic reaction to one game. If it continues then you might be right but right now this reaction from one game is stupid.

It was one game???🤷‍♂️

United’s midfield was Bruno - Mainoo - Casemiro when being the best team in the league in the 2nd half of last season, so no you don’t need 2 runners to be able to play Bruno number 10.

Load of bollocks, you’re judging the whole business based on one game One fucking game and you call yourself a journalist.

So we need another 3 mids , Bruno needs to be moved on Carrick cant coach a full season the players can't handle any pressure those 13 wins where a fluke and now it's turns out Pogba was really good ...oh well hopefully we sack MC by Christmas so that we can stay up

The reason ole played both fred and mctom was to compensate for the attackers including bruno.

Geez it’s only one game

Shocked that he didn't start Mainoo. He was great for Carrick last season. Bring on Tielmans to finish off games.

i like your podcast but it's weird to write off the midfield before Baleba's even joined and we've only played one game, as other people have said.
