I'm at Goldbridge, Manchester United 3, Liverpool 2. We're in the Champions League. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. look at the end of the day and we've beaten Liverpool first home and away for the first time in 10 years and we're officially better than Liverpool whatever that means and hopefully Arna Slott's going to stay for a very very long time there is a poll about whether you'd give Carrick the job or not we'll talk about that towards the end because I actually want to it's a match reaction we've got player ratings to do but look I think first and foremost whoever runs the club whatever players you like you don't like what you think about the manager what you think about the CEO the director of football ultimately Manchester United is yours.

1:27The reason you love Man United, support Man United is your reason. And for all of us, this moment is for all of us something to smile about because this season has been horrific. How many times have we gone three weeks without a game or two weeks without a game and it's not even an international break? It's been horrible, horrible so horrible there's times where I contemplated wanting to be in the conference league that's how bad it got so I think it's um it's great it's great that we're back in the Champions League I've not seen United play in this new format I like this new format we're guaranteed eight eight Champions League league games next season and we should end up getting into the knockouts or the playoffs anyway so a minimum of 10 Champions League games next season um I can't wait for that.

2:19I can't wait for that. So very, very excited about it. Obviously, there's big concerns. Have we papered the cracks this season? Have other teams fell off? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. OK, that's a conversation. But realistically, I don't think anybody looks at this United side and thinks it's going to do anything next year. You know, there's big issues with that team. But ultimately, it's done very well to get the results required to put us into Europe and you can't argue with the fact that we've beaten Liverpool at Anfield and Old Trafford for the first time in 10 years, which, whether Liverpool fans like it or not, means we're better than you.

2:54This season, we're better than Liverpool. And when Liverpool were the title holders in the summer spending half a billion pounds, if you'd have said we were going to be better than Liverpool at the end of the season, nobody would have thought that. So take the positives. Champions League football, we've beaten Liverpool home and away. Ultimately, as people keep telling me, it's about results, Mark. It's not about performance. It's not about vision. It's about results. And results today, I agree with you, two over Liverpool, into the Champions League, absolutely fantastic. So look, that is the main thing.

3:27And look, I don't really care about whether I'm at misplaced the ball or Delo is shit or we shouldn't give the job to Carrick or we should give the job to Carrick or the Glazers are poison. All those things may be yay or nay, but Liverpool are our biggest rival. and trust me, when you get to my age, you do appreciate the finer things in life and you do tell the youth to enjoy these moments because you should always enjoy a Man United win, but you should definitely enjoy a win against Liverpool and you should definitely enjoy doing the double over them because it doesn't happen that often. 10 years we've been waiting to do this and you know what?

4:02I put something out on social media and a load of people were going, oh, that's a trophy and I'm like, well, it is a trophy. It's better than the Carabao Cup. Beating your biggest rival home and away actually is a trophy. Well, it's not a trophy, but it is a big thing. It's not like Newcastle who go in the dressing room every time they bloody win and put a picture on Instagram like a big bloody they've won a trophy. Beating your rival, your biggest rival home and away is a thing. And we're not having an open-top bus for it, but it is a thing. It is a thing. And also, I just want to say as well, speedy recovery to Sir Alex Ferguson.

4:36We had a bit of a scare in the first half about him going to hospital. apparently is at home recovering. It was a precaution. So look, you know, the guy's a legend and he means so much to this football club and to us as fans. So I wish I'd said that at the start of the show, but yeah, it goes without saying as well. So look, very, very happy with the result. And look, as we talk about the game, I will talk about the Carrick stuff. As we talk about the game, I just want to say, you know, big shout out to Maynou. I don't think we win that game. I don't think we deserve to win that game. I really don't think we were going to win it.

5:05I think it was going to take either a moment from them or a moment from us. It was definitely a game at 2-2 where you just, it was going to take something special and something individualistic. And, you know, when you think about that winning goal, it's brilliant. You know, our other two goals are a bit shit. Their goals are shit. But the main new goal was perfect. To win the game, it was a very, very good goal. Luke Shaw should probably put the cross in first time. He's not very confident at crossing. He puts it into the back post. Ahmad doesn't really get hold of it. McAllister should clear it, miss kicks it to the edge of the box.

5:39Maynou with Sabozlai sliding in, what a finish into the bottom corner. And that's good enough to win any game, World Cup, FA Cup, Premier League against Liverpool. It was a brilliant finish by Maynou. Right in front of the Stretford end, he's just signed his new contract. That will give him some great confidence. There are still some people that are unsure about Maynou and it's interesting where he's going to end up with his career. But I think when you score goals like that in games like that, and he has done it before, You know, I always think back to that winner against Wolves. It was incredible.

6:07Or the one at Wembley against Man City. So it's another one for Manu. And it was a brilliant finish. And it was fitting of winning a game of football like that. Because as I said, I think at that point, we were desperately trying to win, but we weren't dominating. And, you know, they had a couple of chances as well. so look I'm glad obviously I'm over the moon that we've won it but I'm glad it fell to Mainu as well I think it's a big goal for him and it will give him a lot of confidence and it was a fantastic finish into the bottom corner as well so look very very grateful for that I think when you look at the game as a whole beyond the brilliance of beating Liverpool home and away this season and having Champions League football it's very similar to what we've been doing for weeks really.

6:55Some people will just go, wow, we're winning. It's great. And some people will go, how sustainable is this going to be? Because it's another game where we've had less than 40 % possession. It's another game where we've needed a moment player to give us a win. It's another game where you could say it was papering the cracks. I don't know whether I would say that. I think at half time, all right, the goals were a bit scrappy, but I don't think 2-0 did us any favours. Sorry, I don't think 2-0 did us any favours at half-time in the sense that I don't think we didn't deserve to be 2-0 up. I really think Liverpool are crap this season, and I think that we had an opportunity to really ram it down their neck.

7:38I said at half-time at 2-0, there should be no mercy. We should go at them and go at them because we looked better when we went at them. When we sat back and gave them the ball, that's when the problem started. And we come out at the second half and I can't believe it's 2-2 after 10 minutes of the second half. I mean, it's just incredible, absolutely incredible how we let them back into the game so easily. And then up until the main new goal, it was, you know, it was a very equal game. It could have gone either way. So I think that it's a brilliant result, but is it a brilliant performance?

8:1518 shots, 6 on target 13 shots, 5 on target 62 % for them, possession 38 % possession for us I mean look it is what it is it's a fantastic result I think we just move on but I think we are in that position now where 100 % they're going to give Carrick the job that's going to happen I know something that happened this week That massively indicates The club are going to give him the job Despite what they're saying About interviewing other people The club are desperately trying to Build this momentum around giving it to Carrick That's what they're going to do And that's what they want to happen And ultimately It's going to come down to this And I was having this chat on the watch along I'm very wary that Maybe 50 % of you do want to give him the job And 50 % don't want to give him the job some people are just happy with results and some people like myself look at the performance and the vision and go where is this going I mean you know you look at that game the midfield is on its arse I mean Manu scores the winner Casemiro has a good game but then there's elements of the game where we're getting run through there's elements of the game where they're tired we never sub them off because we don't trust the Garte so we've got to rebuild that midfield because Casemiro won't be there you know it's ridiculously counter-attacking like it's ridiculously counter-attacking we are literally a counter-attacking team I don't really like that brand of football there is talk that he will change maybe he will change but I really think it just comes down to like I don't disrespect anybody that wants to give the job to Carrick I just want to be respected that I don't you know that's what it comes down to you can't argue with the results I mean the guy could get his haircut I think we'll beat Sunderland and Forrest so you know he could be getting his haircut for the World Cup that'd be five wins in a row his record and results are really really good absolutely and the club will give him the job I just think it's a mistake I don't think it's the best option I think that you know if you order some hedge trimmers an electric hedge trimmer from B &Q and it you know you get it out of the way the box and it works for a couple of days and then it's faulty so you send it back and then you need to trim your head so you use some old ones from your garden that you know are on their last you use them why are you using them go and get the best in class like just because that one was faulty doesn't mean a different brand won't be so I feel like we're just making the same mistake we did with Ollie I feel like it's an interim coach who's done very very well playing a very bland type of football that gets results.

11:03But when we double up with the games and he's got a contract and it's for the long term, I just think it works as an interim. I think it works. Let's get results. Let's get in the Champions League. Let's all come together and work really hard for this short period of time. What happens when it's a three-year deal? What happens when that style of play doesn't work? What happens when we play Chelsea next year and they don't hit the bar twice? They score twice. What do we do to get back in the game? So I just don't think there's any, I don't think it's going to work. I'm nervous about it. I'm scared about it.

11:35I can see the holes in it. But many people don't. And you're going to be right. He's going to get the job and I hope you're going to be right. But I just think I'll be on the right side of history with this. I think it's going to be a bad decision by the board, a really bad decision that's going to hurt us. But we are where we are. The results are fantastic. And I hope it works. I hope it works. I really, really do. But look, regardless of what happens, I think what's very, very clear is that there's a lot about that team that... And look, I want to just talk about that for a moment. Carrick's been...

12:11How many games has Carrick managed now? His average possession after today's game is heading down to 46%. 46 % possession across every game, average. we are Manchester United I mean hello can we have a bit of the ball or are we just going to play this forever so what is the future what is the vision what is the performance we saw on the second goal what I've been saying for a very long time when we're defending the edge of our box and counterattacking Maguire works really really well when teams run at us I mean Sabozlay is not prime Mo Salah. Sir Bozlai has him on toast. You know, he twists and turns him and puts it in the bottom corner.

13:01Casemiro won't be here next year. Bruno will be another year older. Luke Shaw might not be fit every year. Deleuze is still not very good. Like there's still a lot of things in that team. Are we solving all these problems in the summer or are we just going to look at the midfield? There's a lot of things with that team, I think, that next season we need to work on. but you can't hide from the results. You can't hide from the results. And you know, I'm not going to hide from the results. The results are fantastic. Beating Liverpool is fantastic. Being in the Champions League is incredible. I'll be having a drink tonight 100%.

13:35I'm just worried. I'm just worried about this. I really, really am. Robert McCormack says, beat Chelsea, City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Villa. Yeah, the results have been very good, Robert, but you know what you need to do, Robert, right? And I don't know whether you're doing it to like rage bait or whatever. But I have said this before. I'm not trying to convince you to change your mind. So stop trying to convince me because you won't do it. And I won't do it. I'm getting a little bit tired of people telling people how to think. I completely respect that the results are good and you want to give it to Michael Carrick, but you're not going to preach anything to me that's going to make me go, I think this is the right thing.

14:14Because if this goes wrong next season, I will be completely vindicated in saying, this is why I wouldn't have done it. But if it goes right, I will completely say I was wrong. I was wrong. And Robert McCormack was right. But I am not going to jump on the bandwagon and say, I think this is the right thing to do. I don't. And I'll be, I will be, I want to be proven wrong. I want and love this football club. I love it, what we've done today. I love the fact we're in the Champions League. I want to be wrong. And I will say I'm wrong if I'm wrong, but I'm not jumping on the bandwagon because I'm absolutely convinced this is the wrong thing to do.

14:50So don't preach at me telling me stuff. I already know. Carrick, his vibes, shouldn't get the job. He's driving on Amrim's decisions, getting rid of the bomb squad and the new signings, says Andre. Carrick with the right team and support could work, says just pasty. Squad depth issue, says Rula. As much as I'm absolutely ecstatic that we did the double over Liverpool in a decade and the manual winner was insane, why can't we seven nil them, says Rajaf. No more complaining. We've gotten better, so much better under him. Look at last year, says Alex. Well, you're not entertained, it's just pasty.

15:19Allowing that team two goals is unacceptable, says SH. Enchanted, gifted a membership. Thank you very much. Of course, you don't care about Ahmad misplacing the past. If it was Anthony or Ganacho, the story would be different and you would direct all sorts of abuse against them. Well, that's the weirdest comment of the day. I mean, Nico, do you want to calm down? You're a very angry person. What are you talking about? if it was Anthony Organaccio you would give them dogs abuse but because it was Ahmad you didn't I mean I don't remember saying good things mate I don't remember saying good things at all I don't know I don't know who you think I am but I don't know what you're talking about there Chapman welcome to Members Club thank you very much Reality Check says Double D we won't be able to give away some of these players never mind sell them Champions League football is back and we've shut the Scousers up so enjoy with a nice glass of red thank you very much no one can convince me that we deserve to win this says Marleau.

16:10We played much better when beating them under Amrim. Can't give Carrick the job based on this. Ahmad and Le Mans were poor, never win comfortably, says Lewis. Look, in relation to Le Mans, I couldn't give a shit about his mistake. I've seen Alisson make mistakes, Rhea make mistakes, Neuer. Neuer did it in the Champions League semi-final last week. Goalkeepers make mistakes. I've got no problem with Le Mans at all. I don't want to see any abuse. I don't want to see any shit against him. Goalkeepers make mistakes. He's been brilliant for us this year. He'll make another mistake at some point as well.

16:44Without player errors, this game could have been 3-0, says Albert. Mojo's gifted 50 memberships. You're a legend, sir. Le Mans, if you're hearing this, don't listen to the haters. We've got your back. Exactly, kiddie. Looking forward to having the United stand in the Champions League, says Jonathan. I can't wait. I can't wait. I really hope we get Bayern Munich or Real Madrid. TT Truth says, what do you think about Carrick? Truth is, it's a results business, and even though performances are not great, winning is what matters. We need five to six signings this summer, says TT Tree. But I disagree with that.

17:13It is a results business, but I also think it's ridiculously short term. We're playing one game a week. We're playing a boring brand of football that teams struggle against because they're tired and they're not very good. And next season, I don't think it'll work. So there's your flip side to your coin. Carrick is like Oli, came in a season when the whole league is crap and everyone thinks they are solutions, says Jonathan. don't want him but the goals weren't Carrick's fault says Naveen no but the 40 % possession is just want to prepare everyone for buy to sell coming from the club now that they can't use the excuse of having to wait to secure Champions League football says Tyler we've got it yeah well look now that we've got Champions League football we need to move we absolutely need to move on transfers I mean it's a great great great topic like we do need to move on transfers now there's no reason not to we're one of the few clubs that can sit there and we say we've got Champions League football.

18:05Chelsea can't. Liverpool can't. Newcastle can't. So we do need to move. Got to stop the mistakes as Quinster. Pyman says, a lot of positives to take from today. Glad we've got Champions League football. However, the Ahmad sub put us on the back foot. For me, he's a good bench player but can't be on big games like that. I've got to say, I don't know whether it's the reason we conceded goals and lost our way, but Sesko coming off with an injury was unfortunate. It should have been Xerxi. It should have been Xerxi up front. Putting Mbomo out of position where he hasn't worked. Mbomo's one of our worst players under Carrick.

18:43Cunha scored today, good goal, played well. Mbomo has been one of our worst players under Carrick and he puts him up front and he's crap again. And puts Amad on and he's crap. He should have kept Mbomo on the wing and put Xerxi up front because the focal point of having somebody physical against Van Dijk and Canate was causing them problems. Putting Mbamo up there for a long ball was basic and they dominated him physically. We're just waiting for the long ball over the top. That's the only thing Mbamo is good for. He should have put Xerxes on, in my opinion. Or put Kunja up front and put Ahmad on the left.

19:17Hi, Mark. Let's celebrate the victory. Also, happy birthday to my wife, Julia, who loves listening to you while driving for work because of me, says Francis. Happy birthday to Julie. Jonathan's gifted us a membership as well. Thank you, Jonathan. It takes some of the joy away because I was so disgusted with our boys with that 15 minutes. Also disagree, Mark, about Maynou. Good in flashes, but badly indisciplined out of position. It's such a good goal though, Thomas. It's such a good goal from Maynou. It's such a good goal. Lost second half again. It's becoming deep rooted. I suppose we did technically lose the second half, didn't we?

19:46Yeah. We cannot sustain with this brand of football next season with so many games and so many world-class managers and teams that we'll be facing, says Ashish. Great to see Dorgou back. Thought Malassia was coming on during the substitution, says Real Disciplined HQ. Like the wise man, Volatar said, history doesn't repeat itself, man does. Here's to Carrick, Belaber in 38 % possession next season, says Chubby. You do realise that Belaber's got one of the worst pass completion rates and passes per 90 out of all the midfielders in the Premier League as well, so he's not getting our possession up.

20:15We need to get a midfielder and a new left back and right back. Can't trust Shaw and Delo, says Rub. Yeah, but Beth says Luke Shaw was class again today. Beat the big teams is great and a superb win today, but need to beat the lesser teams in the league if we want to be taken seriously, says Andy Cheetham. Happy with a win, but Maynou got us out of jail, says Ross McCray, a magician. Should have won easy. Individual errors aside, does an experienced manager get us a more comfortable win? And since it's World Cup and already have Champions League, we should be sitting the starters and letting the Fletchers, Lacey and the rest of them play now, says Ian.

20:46Yeah, but he won't do that because he's going to want to keep winning, isn't he? If we keep Maguire and Shaw for next season, we'll find ourselves fighting for Europa League, says Erm. And I've never said I'm desperate for him, stated the facts, says Robert. fine we were always quick counter-attacking team before but it was not our DNA it was quick fluid football and fast counter while defending look at us now says Rishabh Giovanni welcome to members club and Strider says as a board director one aspect is that it'll be very very hard to explain to shareholders if you have a crap season with a new manager when the last interim was successful they're going to give it to Carrick they're going to give it to Carrick like and if I was like furious about that I'd be going what a bunch of wankers this that and the other they're going to give it to Carrick I know they're going to give it to Carrick.

21:27I just don't think it's the right thing to do. That's my statement. I'm not going, you fucking idiots, he's trash, this, that and the other. I just don't think we should do it. Spot on. It's seriously Oli's flashbacks, says Break. And 40 % possession at home is poor, says Brett. Great result. Crap performance. The wheels are wobbling and they will fall off. Moments FC at best, says Brett. And Roro says, Carrick aside, how are Holland, Evans, all best in class? So Jim Radcliffe always on about best in class. Hire Carrick, but can't they give him a world-class coaching team? One can dream, I guess.

21:59Thank you very much. Right. Let's do the player ratings. Thanks, everybody who's tuning in. I'm very interested to see what we're going to get out of these player ratings today. You know what? Just for a start, I'm going to start with the manager and I'm going to give him a seven. 5.5? Bloody hell. No, I'm going to give him a seven. Beating Liverpool 3-2. Getting Champions League football. first half was quite good we were the better team in the first half second half was a bit shit but I think a seven's about right so I get tired of doing the manager last I get tired I literally get tired so I wanted to do him first Le Mans today yeah I mean look probably a 5.5 which is fine I want to give him a six I want to be generous and give him a six but look we've got to be honest I don't do agendas I think he's a fantastic goalkeeper.

22:53I think he's steady. I think he makes good decisions. I think he makes big saves. But he didn't really make any big saves today and he did make a mistake. So we have to be very consistent at 5.5, below average for Le Mans. But I'm not that bothered about it. Yeah. Deleu... Um, you know what? He should have scored at the end. That was a crap. You know, if that had been Mbomo, people would have been going mad. It was such a good chance at the end to make it 4-2. Professional footballer blasts it over the bar. I mean, that irritated me. I thought that Rio took their piss out of him for the last 10 minutes.

23:36But he's got good energy and he really cares. So 5.5. Maguire, look, Sabozlai sent him to the shops. It wasn't, Maguire's been really good in recent weeks, but I don't think it was one of his best performances today. Probably a six. Yeah, I agree. I don't think he was bad, but I don't think he was his normal self. I think he was, I don't think he was bad. I'd say an average six today. He's probably got to do a little bit better on the Sabozlai shot, but I think the lack of pace and mobility, he got twisted a little bit there. Heaven, I thought was good. I thought again, you know, for me, should he be starting games ahead of people like Martinez?

24:17I mean, I think that might be a stretch. Martinez is back now for the Sunderland game. And I think Heaven will go to the bench. But the question is, should he go to the bench? I don't think he should go to the bench. I don't. I really don't. I don't know what everyone else thinks, but I don't think Heaven should go to the bench. Now, it'd be an interesting decision for Carrick because if he just brings Martinez back in because Martinez is an experienced player, I get that. But I don't think heaven should get dropped. I thought he played well. I'd give him a 7, 6.5 from you. I don't think he should get dropped.

24:52I mean, is this what Man United are all about, developing young players? You take him out of the team when he's playing well. Did we take Giggs out of the team when he was playing well? Did we take Ronaldo out of the team when he was playing well? Did we take Rooney out of the team when he was playing well? I don't think he should come out of the team I really don't Be interesting next week Luke sure I'd give him a six actually Obviously I thought in the second half He struggled He got tired He got booked But first half he did play well against Frimpong So first half I probably would have given him a seven Second half I probably would have given him a five So I'll give him a six Yeah I mean look he's very limited I don't know what Beth's talking about Class He's been shit since Christmas Ever since he went to left back He's been shit in my opinion Left-sided centre-back in a back three.

25:36I thought he did quite well. Left-back, he doesn't do the job. He doesn't do the running. He doesn't go forward enough. Funnily enough, we did score from him overlapping. But, you know, that just shows you he should do it more. So, yeah, I give him a six average. Casemiro, probably not. Again, like Maguire, a six for me. Normally, Maguire and Casemiro are brilliant. today just a little bit like Maguire a little bit off it had a very good chance with a header as well um but you know you can't you can't the thing about Maguire and Casemiro is you can't deny their effort um yeah you can't deny that but um I'd say a six today Maynou today I mean it's probably going to be my man of the match 7.5 um I just think the goal is so good and it's a match winner against Liverpool and his overall game without the goal is probably closer to a seven, but or maybe even a 6.5.

26:38But the goal is so good. It wins us the game. And I think it's a fantastic, fantastic goal and a fantastic game and a fantastic moment at the end of a fantastic week with him signing a contract. So man of the match for me, a match winner and a moment, a Manu moment. Absolutely. Brilliant goal. Five, five for me. I like Envermo. I don't know what's going on. I don't know. I mean, it's pretty much been since January. He's just not. And I don't know whether it's the disruption of you're up front, you're on the wing, you're up front again, you're on the wing. he has been disrupted a lot under this regime

27:24what I'd like to see is him just playing on the wing but he doesn't look happy he doesn't look happy he looks nothing like the player he was at the start of the season I mean at Christmas people were saying signing of the season so that was under Amrim so at Christmas people were saying Embermo signing of the season for the Premier League because I remember saying Zubmendi Xhaka, Eketike and Mboumo. But since January, he wouldn't say that at all. So I don't know. I don't know. He's not going to, they're not in the World Cup, are they, Cameroon? I don't think Cameroon are in the World Cup. So,

28:00some are off. Comeback fit and hungry. Hopefully get a couple of goals in the last couple of weeks of the season. Bruno, yeah, I mean, 6.5, 7. Yeah, yeah. nothing wrong with Bruno's performance today nothing wrong with Bruno's performance today just a standard good Bruno performance 6.57 yeah good performance never stopped running took a couple of bad tackles as well but you know as I've said time and time again this season Man United without Bruno in the team where would we be? you take Bruno out of that game today and I think we're rudderless so yeah Kunja I was very happy with him today probably again same as Bruno know, 6.57, something like that.

28:46Yep. 6.8. Absolutely agree. One of the best games he's had in a while. Scored a goal. Seems to get these types of games as well. Seems to be a game that thrives, seems to be a player that thrives in a Man United shirt in a big game. And I expected it today as well. Yeah, he played very well today, couldn't you? Very, very well. Sesco, a bit unlucky to come off at halftime based on his first half performance. Again, I'd say 6.5 to 7. yeah I agree with that 6.8 perfect um hopefully it's not long term he's not going to the world cup anyway but it'd be nice if he's not injured for the rest of the season because I think we are actually building something with him up front um his mobility oh god sorry his mobility actually causes more problems than his height sometimes I mean obviously at six foot five you're always going to cause problems with your height but um his mobility to run into the channels and you know the way he the way he spun van dyke watch the second goal van dyke's actually marking him quite well and he spins with his back and goes that way a lot of strikers would go that way but he spins away from the ball so the ball's there and he goes like that and he spins and he loses van dyke so intelligently and you know these are very impressive things for a striker.

30:06Yoro, barely knew him. Six. Ahmad, I mean, he had a bad half, Ahmad. I'd give him a five. Like, he didn't do anything, did he? He didn't impact the game in any way apart from the goal. So you've got to be honest and say it wasn't very poor. It was poor from Ahmad, wasn't it? Dorgou, I thought he did OK when he came on. Six. Xerxe, I thought he did okay when he came on. Six. Carrick, I've given a seven. You've given a 5.5. Man of the match. Yeah. Smash a like on the video if you agree with that. Mainu, man of the match. 81 % of you. Mainu masterclass, really, because he won us the game. A Mainu moment.

30:47Excited for the Champions League, but our fullbacks are absolutely pants, says K-Dirk. I mean, I've said it before and I'll say it again. I do think that our fullbacks are an area that we do need to focus in on. But apparently we're not going to. We beat Liverpool and nearly everyone gets below average ratings. You're all delusional. OK, sometimes I like to shit on people. Not like that. That was another content creator. Shit on people's parade. So Le Mans below six. Deleuze below six. Maguire, six. Heaven, six. Luke Shaw below six. Casemiro, six. Maynou above 7.4. Mbremo below. Bruno above Cunha above Sesko above Ahmad below I mean I don't think you're right most people didn't get below 6 mate but the ones that did were Embermo Le Mans and Deleu so and also we only won 3-2 because of a main new goal so it wasn't like we won 6-0 there was some bad performances but there were some good performances Carrick needs a good tactical analyst and tactical coach I think he gets out thought sometimes says Alex I'm sick of the abuse for the players Glinius out says Laura Baxter Assistant referee Timothy Wood says Mott If we can get Unai Emery Carrick should get the job If we can't get Unai Emery If not who would you get says Magnus I mean Iriola's gone and won 3-0 again Stylistically Iriola can't do anything wrong can he and he's a better coach than Carrick I still like Nagelsmann I agree with you on Emery but Carrick's going to get the job If Carrick didn't get the job would a single top club even think of calling him we are settling for a stopgap this really shows Ineos have no vision It's a tough one to answer that Decaf because he is at Manchester United in post doing well and I think that sort of dilutes what other club would go for him but I suppose it's true Iriola, Tanale, Scott, Truffat, Solanke says Chris For me, it's the in-game management.

32:55It's like a rabbit in the headlights and it's all worked out for him so far. Today showed me a firm no for the manager, says House Jacket. Would you accept Xavi as manager, says XVX? I mean, I do like Xavi. There's a bit of a risk though. We need a huge summer ahead, says Amit. Need quality depth. Appoint coach early to align planning and transfers. Ref was crap today, but shouldn't disguise the fact that Carrick shouldn't get the job. No injuries for Liverpool and we lose today. Casemiro not good either, says Even. I'm just happy we won but what's happened to Ahmad says Delo never lost at home when winning at half time confident of win says Nick we finished third in Erichsen Haag's first season beating every team in the top five next season we finished eighth with a ton of injuries results aren't everything says Bib if you're in charge Mark what coach would you go for over Carrick says Cahill which I've answered already we cannot sustain with this brand of football next season with so many games and so many world class managers says Ashish would Anthony Robinson and Pedro Porro be two fullbacks you would like Robinson is underrated and consistent and Poro has more output chances created.

33:56They're both better than what we've got, MMA lover, but they're both over 26. Franz says, Maynou has massively leveled up last few games and is showing Skoll's level potential. Thank you very much. And KDirk has gifted five memberships. Thank you very much. I think Masraoui can do a job on right back, but we need a left backs as DMT. I mean, look, that's something for another day, but how when Deleuze plays like that and Luke Shaw's getting tired in the second half, does Masraoui not get used? The last time we saw Masraoui, he was brilliant against Chelsea and he doesn't get picked. So we've got this player that plays really well who doesn't get picked and we have to put up with Deleuwe and Luke Shaw at fullback.

34:32It's weird. It's a great point and it's weird. Anyway, let's get over to the chat. Beth will be there so I think you should just go over there and give her what she wants. Get in the live chat. Shaw was classed today. Get over there. Thank you, everybody. I'm live again at seven. So you've got an hour of the fan forum and then at 7 o 'clock I'm live watching Villa against Spurs if you want to join me on Mats Football. K Dirk says, I think heaven is fantastic. Would you start him even after the Litton and Martinez are back? I think we need to lean into more youth. Mate, I love Martinez, the butcher, but heaven shouldn't get dropped.

35:07We're all about developing players. He should play. End of. Thanks everyone for watching. Great result today. We're back in the Champions League. Get yourself over to the fan forum. Remember to whack it into their live chat. chat sure was class today. Of course, I don't agree with it, but it's just a bit of fun.
