Manchester United’s 2-1 home loss to Leeds, match review and broader criticism of interim coaching setup (Michael Carrick and assistant Steve Holland) after a run of worsening performances despite some results.
None. The episode is hosted by Mark Goldbridge (United Stand). Mentions of ex-players (Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, Rio Ferdinand) are quoted as having advocated for Carrick, but they are not actual guests.
The red card/Martinez incident was “soft,” but United were tactically unprepared and lacked a plan B. Carrick is too inexperienced for the job; Holland is “boring” and the coaching team can’t fix issues. United’s attacking is overly predictable (long balls to Cunha/“Ahmad,” set pieces, corners) and they struggle versus low blocks. Fitness/intensity have dropped since Arsenal.
United could’ve been 3-0 down at half-time; Leeds were sharper due to playing last week; United’s predictable long-ball/corner reliance; player decline (Mbemo and Cunha out of position).

0:31Adam McKola: Welcome to the United Stands. I'm Mark Goldbridge and Manchester United have lost 2-1 to Leeds. Deservedly so. Deservedly so. Don't fall for that vibe football at the end where we got one off the line with 10 men. The reality is I think it was harder for Leeds to play against 10 men because we went into vibe mode. We went into moments mode. You know, we actually started trying. And you know what? That's the hypocrisy for me. There might be some people out there going, look at what we did with 10 men. Look at how we played with 10 men. Yeah, look at what we did with 11 men. Why does it take United having an injustice or things getting harder for us to actually turn up?
1:09Adam McKola: Because we're absolutely crap with 11 men. And also, let's not forget, if it wasn't for Martinez, we'd be 3-0 down at half-time. So yes, I think it's a soft red card, but he did stop us from being 3-0 down, didn't he, at half-time. So I think that that's a fair point as well. I think that with regards to how United set up, look, the question I would like to ask is very, very simple. The question I would like to ask is, why is it, and I'm trying to think of one of the ex-players, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, Rio Ferdinand. Why is it you think Michael Carrick's the guy? I just want to ask that question without being an arse.
1:56Adam McKola: Why is it for the last three weeks when I've said I don't think Eric's the guy, I get called negative. I get called a Forest fan. I get called worse. And yet every time I do it in a respectful way saying, ever since Arsenal, I think the football has been getting gradually worse. Ever since Arsenal, I think our intensity has been getting worse. Ever since Arsenal, I think we've been starting games worse and worse and worse. We've had good results. Against Villa, I think they'd have beat us, but Bruno played a brilliant assistant to Cunha at the perfect time. I think against Everton, they'd have got a draw, but it was a very good counter-attack from a brilliant ball from Cunha.
2:36Adam McKola: I think numerous times Bruno and Casemiro have got us out of jail. I think the football's been shit for two months. I think the energy's been shit for two months. And apparently, but apparently, according to some of these ex-players, the football's been exceptional. Carrick's got us out of a massive hole. You know, they were acting like under Amrim, we're bottom of the table and now we're third. The football's been shit for two months and it's getting worse. And you know what? The light is going out as well. It's not just Carrick and Holland. It's the players as well. It's the same old players.
3:10Adam McKola: We've still got Luke Shaw at left back. You know, we've still got Luke sure at left back. He's still shit. He wasn't the worst one today. But what I'm saying is, it's still the same set of players and you're still trying to polish a turd with another interim coach. But what I really want to know is, is why these ex-players are glazing an inexperienced coach with an assistant coach who played boring shit football for England for eight years. Why is that as an ex-player who's been in the dressing room of a successful football club? Why are you chanting about this? Why are you ramming this down everybody's throat?
3:45Adam McKola: This is the thing to do. Carrick's the guy to go with. He clearly isn't. He clearly isn't. Against Leeds, he gets his arse handed on a plate at Old Trafford. Leeds, who haven't won at United for years. Leeds, who could be getting relegated. Leeds, who, you know, we're meant to be better than. And we're getting our arse handed on a plate by them. We could have been 3-0 down at half time. Why? because we've had three weeks off. Well, maybe you should have arranged a couple of fucking friendlies. Because all I hear about this coach is, oh, he lets them train less. They get more time off. You've got Bruno Fernandes doing interviews going, I think the difference between Amrim and Carrick is that Amrim, you know, Carrick listens to the players.
4:29Adam McKola: He lets us play with more freedom. And what did we do with that freedom? Anything they bloody well like, which is nothing. So we need an experienced coach at Manchester United. Whatever happens for the rest of the season, and I think we will get Champions League football, it was never enough. Champions League football was never the ticket to get the job. People fell into the trap of results. But the results don't lie. The results, the results. And I've always said it's results, performance and vision. You've got to have all three to be a Man United manager. And if you want to talk about results, should we talk about recent results?
5:07Recent results is loss, win, draw, loss.
5:15Adam McKola: So how do you want to mix your results up? Are we going to go like the last 10 games or are we going to go the last five games? Because the results are actually falling. Everywhere you look, we're getting less fit and we're getting less good results. If we lose to Chelsea on Saturday, we've lost three of our last five and only won one. It's getting worse. The fitness, the results, the football is factually getting worse. And the reality is, and I'm not claiming this, somebody said this in mid-February, and I can't remember who, if it was you, well done, if it was a journalist, well done. Somebody said, whatever you think about Amrim, the results weren't quite good enough, but the chance creation and the intensity was good.
5:59Adam McKola: It was just defensively they had a problem. The intensity has dropped off. It was almost like a car with a tank full of petrol that Amrim filled up and we've gradually been using the fuel up without refilling it and now we're running out of fuel. And I think that's a great analogy. I think against Man City and Arsenal, we had loads of intensity and in through February, March and now April, we've got none. It's gradually getting worse and worse and worse. And the thing that worried me about today is, let's talk about today. I understand Leeds, we've probably just kept them up. I understand Leeds are going to come to Old Trafford motivated, fit and ready.
6:39Adam McKola: And they did play last Monday night. Like we haven't played for three and a half weeks. Leeds did play a week ago. But hello, Man United knew that Leeds were playing West Ham a week ago, a month ago. Maybe, maybe instead of going to Dublin, we should have arranged a friendly mid last week. Maybe we should have arranged the game to keep our sharpness up last week instead of going on a holiday to Dublin. So I'm not having any of Leeds were sharper than us because they played a game last week. That's bollocks. We also know that Leeds are fighting for their life and they're going to come to Old Trafford and give it everything.
7:14Adam McKola: I mean, Leeds are going to come to Old Trafford and give it everything anyway because they don't like Manchester United. So why did we walk into that like we're in a bloody daydream? Why were we so shit? And I don't get it. It's the second time today I haven't understood the mentality of a team I like. Gold Devils in Borla League turned up and were shit and United turned up and were shit. And I don't understand either of them. I don't understand either of them. I really don't. But with United, I just don't understand it. And what I don't understand even more is how our plan A is so predictable.
7:49Adam McKola: Our plan A is so predictable, right? We get the ball and we look to hit a long ball into Ahmad or Kunya who make a diagonal run, right? And if they don't get through, we don't really have anything else that we know what to do. And then if we get corners, we're good at corners. And that's basically Man United's attacking pattern. Hit long balls, try and win corners, and that's it. There's nothing else to our game at all. Our weaknesses are we've got no pace in the midfield and you can get down the flanks because our midfielders don't like coming out from the centre. We're easy to play against if you play a low block and we've got no plan B at all.
8:31Adam McKola: So what we've been doing over the last few weeks is getting away with it. right? Everybody's always, it's always a 50-50 game with United. It's always a game of basketball, 50 % possession, et cetera. But when the shit really hits the fan, and it's the first time it's happened to us, but it will happen again and again and again and again. We can't break down a low block. But also, if we go two goals down, we are absolutely screwed. We have got nothing. If we go two, if we go one nil behind, we might get a corner, one one. Then we might win it 2-1. If it's 0-0 and we're getting dominated, we might get a counter-attack.
9:06Adam McKola: But when it goes to 2-0, we ain't got nothing. We've got absolutely nothing if it goes to 2-0. There is no plan B at all. You could see it at 2-0 in the first half before Leeds could have made it 3-0. And Holland goes up to Carrick and you can just see in their faces, they're like, I don't have a fucking clue what I'm going to do now. I've got no idea what to do. You could see the camera on them. Steve Steve Holland comes up to Carrick and we're getting dominated and we're 2-0 down. And it's literally like they had no idea what to do. There's no plan B. We've got no plan B. Our plan A is compact at the back, counterattack and set pieces.
9:45Adam McKola: That's it. That is it. And that's how basic we're playing football, because I tell you what, I'm nowhere near as good as Steve Holland or Michael Carrick. But I tell you what, the most obvious thing in the world, and we nearly equalized from it, is to get the ball down the flanks and whip crosses into your six foot five striker. It's literally been the most obvious thing to do for three months and we don't do it. Tell Luke Shaw and whoever's at right back to overlap, create space to whip a cross in to your six foot five striker and keep doing it. Just keep doing it. And we won't bloody do it. We won't do it.
10:27Adam McKola: And it's baffling. It's absolutely baffling. But we could have been 3-0 down at halftime. We had no plan B. The subs bench was a waste of time. He didn't want to use it. And I'm struggling to see, apart from Arsenal and Man City, which was a long time ago, I'm struggling to see why. I mean, the only thing I think Jason Wilcox must be doing is this. on his hands and knees going, please, please just keep winning games. It doesn't matter how because then I can give him the job. Mate, you're going to get the sack. You are going to get the sack at some point because you are a chancer. If you are desperately trying to give this job to Carrick so you've got a puppet that you can pull the strings from, you're going to get the sack.
11:12Adam McKola: This ain't going to work. Let me just give you a little hint. This is not going to work. So you can keep praying for the results and justifying Champions League football as a reason to give him the job. It won't work. I love the guy. I think he was a brilliant footballer and he comes across as a nice guy. But you look at him on the touchline and you go, I know that's not going to work. I just know he's not got the personality for it. And he hasn't got the coaches for it as well. Steve Holland, boring coach. Johnny Evans and Jonathan Woodgate, they're not top level coaches and neither is Michael.
11:45Adam McKola: This is not going to work. And if the club don't realise that, I mean, what the alternative? I mean, I don't want to get into the manager debate because it's a waste of time, because ultimately, because the club sat on its arse in March and did nothing. I mean, they basically just got the Ed Woodward book, haven't they? We'll sack Mourinho, we'll pretend we're going to get a top class manager in and then we'll give it to Oli. And we've done it again. We'll sack Amorim. we'll pretend we're going to get a top class coach and then we'll give it to Carrick. They haven't got a clue. There is no other, the trouble is that there's no other manager now.
12:26Adam McKola: And what's going to happen is, I'd say before today, 40 % would give it to Carrick in the fan base and 60 % wouldn't. And what people will do now is they'll go probably 80 % won't give it to Carrick and 20 % will. Because most Man United fans, when you play shit like that, wake up. most Man United fans will go okay the results have been good but the football's shit this is the manager for the next three years we can't make this mistake we can't we can't make this mistake and look in a way it's probably not a bad thing that we're getting this wake up call now some of us had it weeks ago but hopefully most of you are getting the wake up call now we cannot back this it's a mistake it's a mistake It's a massive mistake and we can't do it.
13:20Adam McKola: We can't. Even if we go and beat Chelsea and Brentford, we still shouldn't do it because the warning signs are there. We saw it against Newcastle. We saw it against Bournemouth. We've seen it against West Ham and we've seen it again today. And to be fair, we did see it against Everton and Villa, even though we won. The performances are not good enough. The tactics are not good enough. And ultimately as well, the players aren't good enough. but you can't trust an inexperienced coaching team with a job of this magnitude. The players aren't good enough as well. Look, I've seen a lot of people at half-time going after Yoro and going after Agate.
13:55Adam McKola: That's absolutely fine. But don't forget Luke Shaw. Don't forget Casemiro. Don't forget Bruno. Don't forget Kunja. Don't forget Ahmad. Don't forget Masraoui. They were all bad as well. A lot of those players were bad. So you're basically looking at a team that's probably going to get Champions League football because we're not as shit as others. And a lot of those teams will improve in the summer. We need a world-class manager and we need some really good players. And this is why we need to buy Tonali because Casemiro is going to leave. And when you look at that game today, Casemiro is the only player on the pitch with Bruno that can get us back into games and he's leaving.
14:35Adam McKola: So next season, when we have games like this, we won't have Casemiro. So we need to buy Tonali. We need to bring in a player who knows what they're bloody doing. And we need to buy three or four players like that. Because what I've also noticed over the last few weeks is the decline of Mbuermo. Because we've been playing him up front. And now he's on the wing. And he looks like his confidence is shot. And since Carrick's come in, Kunia's gone on the left wing. And he's gradually getting worse as well. So these two players that we spent£60 million on that look like good signings at Christmas are now starting to look like bad signings.
15:14Adam McKola: Because Mbuomo's being played out of position and Kunya is being played out of position. And Ahmad, who looked really good in a 3-4-3, looks shit on the wing. So not only are the results bad, not only is the performance bad, but some of our players are getting worse by the game as well. Now, Amarim got the sack. I'm not saying that sacking Amorim, we don't need to go back there. But players were playing better before Christmas are playing worse now. And at the end of the day, if you take Bruno Fernandes out of that team, I don't even know what we are. You know, I don't even know what we are. And next season, we're going to be where Newcastle are.
15:58Adam McKola: Guaranteed, if we don't wise up quickly. We need to buy seven players and get a top manager in. Otherwise, we're on a one-way ticket to where Newcastle are now. And many of us have been talking about this for weeks. Leeds didn't win until tonight at Old Trafford in the Premier League. There is no red card, but we were still poor. Question for you. I'm with you. But what do board need to do, says Nicola. Mate, I mean, this is not new. I'm not even angry because, you know, I've had people agree with me for three weeks and people argue with me for three weeks. But tonight just proved exactly what I've been talking about.
16:33Adam McKola: I'm not angry. This is my problem. I don't rate that coach, Steve Holland. I think Carrick's too inexperienced. It's too big a job. It's too big a job. And it doesn't help when you've got people like Rio and ex-players saying, give it to Carrick because people listen to them. And they're either, I don't, you know, they won't have a conversation about it, but it's moronic, in my opinion. I'd love to know what they're saying tonight. Because they're very vocal when we've won a game. But when we lose a game like that and it's tactically terrible, come on then, come out now and tell us why Carrick should get the job.
17:11Adam McKola: This is what I want to hear from because they're all there doing the club PR. But tell me now because maybe I'm missing something. We should buy Tanaka. He's a good player. You know that Tanaka did play very well, Quinster, but we don't need to buy Tanaka. Tanaka's a decent Premier League midfielder. We don't need to buy him, but he shat all over our midfield. I mean, Casemiro was crap tonight, by the way. The goal was good, but it was a crap performance. Finding solace in Chelsea and Liverpool being crap just to realise we're 10 times worse. Seriously think we could finish the season with zero more wins, says Marlowe.
17:41Adam McKola: Do you know Alex Scott from Bournemouth's sister is a Man United women's captain? Helpful for a transfer, says Beth. Sign him up. It terrifies me if we get this wrong, we could almost be as bad as Spurs next season, says Steve. We were poor today, whole team, so many not good enough for this team. Three weeks killed us. Carrick probably let them doss about. He can't be boss, says Glenn. Bravo, Man United. The progress must go on. We walked, waited three and a half weeks for a crap performance. Hope people see Carrick is not the person we need, says Desiree. Well, I mean, look, I don't think this is correct, but I've seen a few people say it.
18:11Adam McKola: I mean, Amrim worked the team very hard. Carrick came in, hasn't worked them hard, has given them freedom. They reacted for a little bit and now they've downed tools. Did Carrick not see this with Oli? I mean, he was Oli's assistant coach. This is exactly what happened with Oli. Oli came in, put his arm around everybody. They all liked him. And then the novelty fell off. So is that what Carrick's done already? You know, to highlight the stupidity of this board, if we get destroyed by Chelsea, United Wood board will have to pivot from Carrick. Always reactive, never proactive, says Decaf. And I agree with that.
18:48Adam McKola: I said last week they'll give the job to Carrick and I expect Carrick to get the job. But if we lose to Chelsea on Saturday, they probably will pivot, which is even worse because they weren't planning on anything else. Our full backs can't do that, put across as in, says Joshua. I cannot get along with the fact that this board won't sign Carriker's manager while Nagelsmann and their others are out there, says I. I mean, meh. Nagelsmann wants the fucking job. Nagelsmann worked with Favell. Nagelsmann has an amazing CV of building football clubs and he plays good football. and he's tactically adaptable and he has a plan A, B and C.
19:25Adam McKola: Nagelsmann will take this job and we haven't even bloody interviewed him yet. It's mad. Wern says Leeds, Leeds, Leeds. I mean, look, fair play. Fair play to Leeds. Well done. You probably should have beat us by more. That was crap, says Grand Prairie. Go get Emery. It's that simple, says Quinster. Pathetic how they can see the problems. Part of me thinks they can't see the problems, says Owen. Part of me thinks they don't care. Tonight shows Carrick should not be the manager, says Chris. Well, where are all the people who've been arguing for three weeks saying Carrick should get the job? Where are you?
19:57Adam McKola: Because this is where it's easy to say sign a player when they're playing well or give a manager a job when he's winning. But many of you have said give it to Carrick. Rhea Ferdinand said give it to Carrick. Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt have said give it to Carrick. I want them to do a podcast tonight and say why they're still giving it him. because it's really easy to stick with an opinion when you're winning. I mean, I've had people coming for me over the last few weeks because I said we should have bought Jauneves or Conor Gallagher in January. And I've been clipped up. I've been, you know, had the piss taken out of me, but I haven't changed my opinion.
20:34Adam McKola: And tonight it looks genius again because we had Agate and Casemiro running around the midfield and no midfielders. So I would have bought Conor Gallagher in January, I would have bought Jaunevers in January because they'd have come in bloody useful tonight. You know, we haven't got a midfield again. And I said before the game, I thought we'd win 4-0. But when Manu wasn't fit, I said, one thing that worries me is the way that Leeds are set up. They could run riot over our midfield. And they did. They did. Nicola, welcome to Members Club. Yoro was shocking. Is heaven seeing Carrick's mum? I would have hooked him and Agate at half-time and just put Bruno in the midfield says Alex.
21:11Adam McKola: Incompetent, spineless, cowardly and clueless. A few lucky results will not hide that both the team and this so-called manager is not up to it, says Doubled. What could Carrick do to deserve the job, says NotSoBenny. Mark, we interviewed both Carrick and Oli for interim job, but nobody for the main job. The fact of the matter is nobody elite wants the job. You can't force managers to be interviewed, says Kaz. Well, I know for a fact that Nagelsmann does want the job. Alan, welcome to the members club. Thank you very much. If you're blaming Agate for that, stop watching football. I don't even rate him, but idiots are scapegoating him.
21:38Adam McKola: This is unsupportable robbery. Well, exactly. And I will defend Agate and Yoro, because if you're blaming Agate and Yoro for that, you didn't watch the game. Shaw was shit.
21:52Adam McKola: Masraoui wasn't very good. Deleuze was no better. Casemiro wasn't very good. Bruno wasn't very good. Kunya wasn't very good. Ahmad wasn't very good. Mbwemo wasn't very good. Even Le Mans had an off game. What I learned today, Maguire is important for defensive structure and leadership. Sesko is a super sub. No, Marlo, what you learned today is that Maguire means we can park the bus and play deep. I don't want to do that. Would rather have a drunk driver at the wheel, says Jake. Whoever the manager is, we only made two subs, says a lot about our squad, says Eric. When we have results like this, the paint that was used to cover the cracks start to crack, says Erfin.
22:27Adam McKola: Fair play to Leeds, but Carrick showed he is not world class by not bringing his remaining subs, especially your team is tired against relegation teams. Shows he's not ready under pressure, says Arshant. It'll be interesting as well because Monday night, Saturday night, quick turnaround. We play like a pack of frozen Holland's meat pies, says Random. Tonight told me two things. Carrick got it wrong, rotating. We've got nothing in midfield. Major investment needed. Agate shite, says King. And last few weeks have shown Carrick isn't the man long term. Fans should be clear how we feel. Remember, Oli only got the job due to fans' support, says Snail.
23:00Adam McKola: and I see us losing to Chelsea from what I've just seen, says Denise. Ref was from Yorkshire and obviously a Leeds supporter. This and raise awareness against the PGM. Well, disgrace, says Tom. Records for ineptness of falling with this ownership. First Leeds win here, says Canada. Will we learn a team led by Bruno is this proof? And Mike Robertson, welcome to the Members Club. Thank you very much.

23:53Adam McKola: got the match reaction and i i tell you what i don't like disclosing um private messages but i don't think ricky will mind he basically said carrick's really good it's just when we play sesco we're crap player uh match forum fan forum coming up after this i mean he'd probably give luke shaw another match as well uh johnny says we pay millions for a training complex then go to dublin for a holiday change needed at 30 minutes but he was still scratching his head for five minutes after the red card. They say Carrick is calm, is boring and suspect, says Tahil. I bet Reki will be ecstatic with Aronson tonight, says Asher.
24:28Adam McKola: I told you so, Beth. Pick a card. I told you. I told you. Aronson's better than Bruno. Bruno, I told you. Pick a card. Can't help it. Ten Hag, Amrim, Carrick, all the same. Too much Deadwood at the club for a manager to make the difference. It's all on the board, says JJ. And if the red card wasn't given, we wouldn't have scored. Also, full-back problems weren't seen before because Ahmad was playing mental and Kunya was tracking back, says Naveen. Just watched first game at Old Trafford, says Inoski. Oh, dear. Fordy says, do you think it was a red card? Surely we can't think that. I think on the red card, I actually think the red card made us play better because we felt aggrieved and played on passion.
25:09Adam McKola: I think if we hadn't had the red card, we still would have lost. We were shit. Technically, I think it is a red card, but welcome to 2026. the game is gone he barely touches his hair and it's a bloody red card if I was I would grow my hair long if I was a Premier League footballer now and hope that somebody accidentally grabs my hair and then it's a red card but look I think technically it was right player ratings mark every player out of 10 6 being the average please do smash a like on the video thanks everybody who's tuned in don't forget away from all of this 10 o 'clock tomorrow morning the news show is the most significant it's making me feel sick actually it's the most significant news we've ever announced on the United Stand and it's to do with the United Stand I'm very nervous about it I probably won't sleep tonight and I can't say what it is before and it was going to happen regardless of the results it was a decision that was made it's been worked on for months in the preparation and it will be announced at 10 o 'clock tomorrow morning player ratings okay Hey, Le Mans six for me.
26:19Adam McKola: I mean, he did make an incredibly good save from Calvert-Lewin. He was a little bit off, but I'd probably give him a six. Masraoui, I thought was a five. I like Masraoui, as you know, and I think he's better than Deleuze, but that doesn't mean I'm going to give him seven out of ten just because of that. Yoro was probably a five as well. I thought he was better when we went down to 10 men and he, you know, didn't overthink things and played on the edge. But, you know, this is the problem, isn't it? I've questioned this before. United are obsessed with buying young players. We can't develop young players.
26:59Adam McKola: We've spent 50 million pounds on Jaro and he's getting no development. If he'd gone to Real Madrid, he'd be more developed by now. If he'd gone to Dortmund, he'd be more developed by now. He's been here for two years. two years of his career at United and£50 million. We can't develop young players. So why do we buy them? Why are we obsessed with buying young players and we can't develop them? We just can't. We don't develop players. Martinez, I mean, look, it could have been 3-0 at halftime. I give him a 5 for that. I don't think it was a red card. I think it was very soft. Did we need to pick Martinez?
27:37Adam McKola: He's now suspended against Chelsea anyway. Luke Shaw 4 it's just I just don't rate him I just I just don't rate him I don't know what Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes are talking about when they say he's the best left back in the world when he's fit I just don't know what what year they're operating in I just don't think he offers anything and in another game he could have had two yellow cards as well Casemiro only for the goal I'd give him a 5 I don't think he had a very good game I thought he was slow I thought he was out of position I think on the second goal, he could have closed that down better.
28:12Adam McKola: But he did score a goal and he's always a threat on crosses. So you could give him a 5.5, but his overall performance, I thought, was poor. Agathe was a 4. Yeah, it wasn't very good. It wasn't very good. I'm not going to throw him under the bus. Maynou gets injured. That's your midfield. And this is why many of us have said when Casemiro goes and Agathe has to go, you've only got Maynou. We need to buy three midfielders. I mean, hello, we need to buy three midfielders. Why do I keep hearing Fabrizio Romano going, Man United are going to sign one, maybe two midfielders. Oh, thank you. Thank you, wonderful Wilcox.
28:48Adam McKola: Not one, maybe two. How's about fucking three? We need to buy three midfielders. We probably need to buy four, but we definitely need to buy three. You can't just have three midfielders. We need four midfielders at minimum next season. Minimum. Ahmad, again, poor for me. Very poor. Very poor from Ahmad. I like Ahmad. Carrick's shown a lot of faith in him. Why is Ahmad so bad? Why is Ahmad so bad? That's a video in itself. Why has Ahmad got so bad since Carrick came in, but under Amrim he was decent? Answers on a postcard. Why is Amrim so bad under Carrick? I don't get it. I don't get it. Bruno, not by his high standards, 5, 5.5.
29:32Yeah, I mean, he's always going to make something happen, but he looked sluggish.
29:38Adam McKola: And we did look like a team that's been on holiday. Cunha, poor, poor, five. Yeah. He's out of position. Cunha's out of position. In Amrim's system, he was better. In Amrim's system, Mbwemo was better. On the left wing, doesn't make any sense to me. Sesko, probably a five. I mean, the service is shit. He nearly scored a goal from across but we didn't do enough of those. I don't even know how many chances we created today, actually. Let me have a quick look at the stats.
30:18Adam McKola: I can't do that if that doesn't work. So we had, well, 15 shots to their 20. No, we had 20 shots to their 15. I don't feel like we did have that many shots. We obviously did. 50-50 possession as well. Delo, crap, five. Embermo, crap, five. And then Carrick, five. 2.5. I mean, look, I'd be generous, but yeah, it wasn't very good. The silver lining, if you want a silver lining tonight, and I can give you a silver lining, the silver lining is that because everybody has been in Europe and is really shit, the league table is not that bad. Despite the fact we've only won one of our last four, it really does show how shit everybody is this season.
31:19Adam McKola: I mean, we have lost seven games and we have drawn 10. We've lost two of our last four.
31:28Adam McKola: and the last two seasons, by the way, the last two seasons, the team that finished fifth got 66 points. So last two years, 66 points was fifth. We would need 11 points from our last six to get to 66 in the last two years. We are seven points clear from sixth. So the points total this year is shit for top five. So we should be fine. With seven points clear of Chelsea, if they beat us on Saturday and Liverpool beat Everton and Villa beat whoever they're playing, we could be fifth. Only four points ahead of Chelsea. So it probably isn't over yet, but I think silver lining it probably still is because we've still got to play Forest at home.
32:21Adam McKola: We've still got to play Brentford. I mean, we just lost to Leeds at home. What am I talking about? Just shut up, Goldbridge, you bloody idiot. Right. There is no silver lining. Man of the match, Mark. Oh, for God. I mean, I don't know. Man of the match. I mean, nobody deserves man of the match, do they? I mean, and that just sums it up. How many times over the years? I'm getting sentimental again. How many times over the years have we been in this position where everybody's shit? I mean, I can't find a man of the match. I suppose Yoro for the save from Calvert-Lewin. I don't know. Martinez for the save on the line at 3-0.
33:01Adam McKola: Casemiro for the goal. Bruno for the cross. I don't know. Bruno. If in doubt, give it to Bruno, I suppose. Don't tell Ricky. Yeah, so, you know, maybe that's about right. I don't know. Ricky's not on the fan forum by the way I don't think they are live on the fan forum get yourself over to there don't miss the 10 o 'clock show tomorrow I don't think I'm going to get a lot of sleep tonight biggest news we've ever announced very nervous about it very nervous but tonight keep your mind on this I think tonight we learnt that Manchester United should not be giving the job to Michael Carrick and can I just make a bit of clarity on that.
33:47Adam McKola: His assistant coach is Steve Holland. That's the guy, the mastermind. That's what worries me as well. Take care, everyone. Stay safe. And I'll speak to you tomorrow at 10 o 'clock. Get yourself over to the fan forum and have your thoughts about that. Appreciate it. And I'll speak to you all in a bit. Thank you very much for watching.
