  • Perfect listen, win or lose

    This is my go to United podcast, no matter if we lose or win. While most media outlets keep sharing click-baits, Joe and Gaz bring us the voice of reason as true United fans. Their sometimes opposing viewpoints help one see both sides of the coin, which is exactly what you need sometimes. Thanks guys, for bringing this amazing podcast to the listeners.

  • 🥱

    On-the-nose, cliche, spoon-fed opinions masquerading as originality. Indicative of the horrible UK press, except spat out by children who barely remember Fergie. Honestly, embarrassing analysis

  • Absolute Quality.

    Whether it’s therapeutic or celebratory, depending on the last game, Gaz and Joe always deliver great analysis and great banter. If only Erik ten Hag’s men were as consistent…

    Great listen, Joe and Gaz seem like decent lads and bring you along with their banter! Look forward to the episodes dropping so I can put my headphones in and pretend I’m on a call in the office, but get 20 minutes to myself! Awesome!

Q: And how do you do that? How do you go about galvanising the group?
Maguire says it requires individual effort as well as collective unity. He believes the season can still be successful, but the team must change quickly.
Maguire: 'We've got to stick together'
Q: Is that where you're at at the moment, when you can see you didn't go behind togetherness, the confidence a little bit low?
Maguire agrees confidence is low and says results and performances have not been good enough. He calls on every player to look at themselves, contribute more and get the basics right.
Devils' Advocate: 'No manager fixes this'
Q: What would generally be your opinion if Eddie Howe took over?
Jordan questions whether Howe has a clear identity for Manchester United and says he would rather keep Carrick, while Gaz describes Howe's approach as hard-working and high-pressing.
Devils' Advocate: 'No manager fixes this'
Q: Your thoughts on that when you saw the team news, Jordan?
Jordan says the team selection was alarming, especially with Bruno Fernandes and other players dropped, and suggests Carrick may have viewed it as his last match in charge.
Carrick: 'We're not accepting everything is great'
Q: We're not accepting it as everything is great by any stretch, so I'm realistic with that, but sometimes you do struggle, sometimes there's a bit of where you have to find a way through it.
Carrick acknowledges that the team's position is not good enough, but says the group must stay stable, keep doing the right things, and work through the difficult period. He believes they can go on a good run.
