1:43Hello, everybody. Good morning. Welcome to the United Stands. I'm Mark Goldbridge, and this is your latest Manchester United news. It's good to be back live with you all, by the way, but I wouldn't say I'm happy about what's going on at United. I mean, look, a lot of people are blaming Michael Carrick and maybe that is the right thing to do. But I think what the sad thing is this morning is that a Manchester United manager can come out smiling. I mean, I've seen the post-match press conference yesterday from Carrick and it's appalling. And he's been facilitated by certain journalists and certain ex-players.

2:16We'll call them out, Don't you worry. But the reality is Lissandro Martinez last week called out Jason Wilcox and it got swept under the carpet. Manchester United have got seven points from 21 and Michael Carrick's coming out smiling, talking about fresh starts. I don't blame Carrick. I don't blame Wilcox. I blame the ownership for how low the standards are at this football club now that you can have seven points from 21, not play particularly well against Leeds, but come out and smile about it. I mean, if you're Ruben Amrim, you're gone. If you're Ten Hag, you're gone. If you're Ranjit, you're gone.

2:48If you're Mourinho, you're gone. But if you're an ex-player who's a puppet to the club, you can stay as long as you like and just smile. Smile after a game. Talk about fresh starts. Talk about, you know, doing the right things. I don't know what game he was watching, but this is what happens when you have an ownership that's basically saying, don't worry about it, Michael. We feel you're doing a great job protecting us from the fans, so long may it continue. Don't worry about results. Don't you worry about results. We think you're the right guy because you're a nice guy and you protect us and we're not really bothered about the standards of the football club anyway.

3:23So go out and enjoy it. It's like a bloody job. You know, it's like work experience, Michael Carrick. It's a joke. It's an absolute joke. We got outrun by Leeds by five kilometres yesterday. We had less than 40 % possession and he's coming out smiling about it. and you can talk about whether we should back him or not, whether we should sack him or not, but ultimately, if there's no standards at the football club, then what are we even talking about? I mean, look, I wouldn't even say sack Carrick because you're just going to out yourself when it won't happen. The problem with the football club is that you can now have seven points from 21, play crap against Leeds and your manager can come out and smile about it and talk about a fresh start.

4:13What fresh start are we talking about? Under what circumstances should you get a fresh start, by the way? Why are we in game week seven and you're talking about a fresh start? Oh, it doesn't matter that we've been knocked out of the Carabao Cup. It doesn't matter that we've lost in the Champions League. It doesn't matter that we've got seven points from 21. It doesn't matter that we're playing really shit. Now the season starts and you're Drew. Oh, Leeds, Ellen Rhodes, a tough place to go and win a game of football. I mean, come on. Manchester United, Leeds don't have the budget or the history that we've got, I think it's appalling.

4:42I think it's absolutely appalling. And I don't need to screen Michael Carrick out because I think the message that the club is sending out is appalling. And then, you know what? I think Rio Ferdinand, I know he's been in trouble over the weekend for saying something he shouldn't have. And to be honest, I'm not really interested in that. I mean, that's just influencer beef. What I am interested in is the constant diarrhea, verbal diarrhea of, I mean, he has got to be the worst. I wouldn't even call him a pundit. I think he's just an influencer. It's just shit. When we lose a game, there's very little criticism.

5:18When we draw a game, I can see things. I can see things. I'm hearing its guitar. It's just, mate, you are so, so, you are such a bad pundit. And I'm not saying I'm great, but you are such a bad pundit. You are so biased. You're so interested in your interviews with the players and keeping on board with the players. You don't say anything of any truth. You just talk shit. And you're not the only one. You know, look, from one to another, there was, I've got to, you know what, I'm not taking any shit this weekend, this week. I was up at four o 'clock this morning because my flight got cancelled last night.

6:01So I had to get up at four o 'clock this morning to get a flight from Amsterdam. I feel like I've been up for 12 hours. But, you know, because I was in the airport for a long time, I actually was reading a lot of stuff. And I was just like, I'm just going to call this out. I'm just going to call this out. Henry Winter. Henry Winter, journalist. Man United can draw some relief and perhaps some belief from that. Surely lessens pressure on Carrick. His players showed some fight and more intensity in challenging circumstances. But Labour good had to be subbed off as managing minutes. Maguire defiant, otherwise still defensive issues.

6:30Martinez point remains valid. What a load of shit. But I'm sorry, Henry, I think you are a respectable journalist, but I've never heard such shit in all my life. Man United can take some relief and perhaps some belief from a draw against Leeds, lessens the pressure on Carrick. Why? Why does a draw against Leeds lessen the pressure on Carrick? We've got seven points from 21. People are acting like we've just been to fucking the Emirates and won. It was we had less than 40 percent possession. We were rubbish in the second half. We had a one goal lead and we gave it up. And on top of that, we ran less.

7:03and he was playing a back three. And if this was Amrim, he'd be getting Peltas for it. It's just ridiculous. But this is what we're up against, these facilitators. Also, there was somebody else as well. Who was it? I'm sure I had it here. That's Ferdinand. Stephen Raulston in the Manchester Evening News. Carrick made a beeline for the away section and applauded fans for 40 seconds. They chanted his name in response. The United boss still retains support from the dressing room and the fan base. Well, he doesn't retain support from the fan base. That's a load of bollocks. Match going fans are fantastic.

7:38They sang for David Moyes. They sang for Oli. They sang for Mourinho. But he doesn't retain the support of the fan base. And you know what? I don't think coming out after interviews smiling and talking absolute nonsense does him any favours, to be honest. I don't. I thought it was, you know. And this was another quote from Carrick. We were a lot further behind third or fourth place in January than we are now. We've got to keep pushing to get to the top. and I'm excited. When we come through this bad patch, we'll be a much better team for it. I mean, it's just all nonsense. Eric Ten Hag got sacked after nine Premier League games with 11 points.

8:16Michael Carrick has got seven points from seven Premier League games. So pray tell me, unless Carrick beats Bournemouth and Chelsea, he will have the same points or less than what Ten Hag got sacked with after nine games. pray tell me why you'd stick with Carrick and sack Ten Hag. Ten Hag has actually got a CV. Carrick doesn't. The hypocrisy of this football club and the lowering of the standards is the thing that annoys me the most this morning. The standards are so low. They're so bloody low at this football club. It is incredible to me. Absolutely incredible to me. Some quotes from Ferdinand, just to be fair.

8:56We started poorly last season and look how it finished. Let's hope we've got that little kick on this season to change things around. And you've got to stay with someone like Michael. Give him a time. Let him go out there. Let him turn this around. It's the first bump in his managerial career at Man United. You can't just turn someone's lights off at the first sign of trouble. Give him the chance to change the fortunes of the club. No. What a load of shit, mate. What a load of crap. You're just backing a mate. Why should he get a chance? Ten Hag didn't get a chance. Amrim didn't get a chance. They had a CV.

9:24Why are we giving Michael Carrick a chance? And also, can we just expose a few elephants in the room here? Bruno Fernandes had another bad game yesterday. Played, what, most of the game? Was it 90 minutes? Cunha on the bench again for six minutes. What the fuck is going on there? What is going on there with Cunha? Why is Cunha now on the bench and Bruno Fernandes is playing 90 minutes every bloody game and it hasn't played well since Ipswich. Also, Santos has done reasonably well in the last couple of games. Why was he completely ignored for the first five games of the season? I'm confused. And we're also going back to Amar as a right wing back and Deleuze as a left wing back and we're playing a back five again.

10:08Even Maguire. I'm just confused about what we're doing. Against Atletico Madrid, we go with the front four press with Bruno on the wing against Leeds. We go with a back five when we haven't got the ball and it transitions into a back four when we have got the ball to match up with Leeds. This is just survival football. This is looking at the opposition and trying to deal with the opposition. There is no vision about what we want to do. We're looking at Atletico Madrid and saying, how can we beat their style of play? We're looking at Leeds and going, how do we deal with their style of play? What about being Man United?

10:42What about having a style of play. And everything we try, whether it's a front four press or a back five, we're lower than 40 % possession. It's crap. It's really crap. But something happened after the game yesterday that was incredible spin because Carrick's coming out smiling. Loads of pundits and journalists are backing him. And I'm like, we've got seven points from 21. This is not a good result. You know, Leeds, a draw at Leeds when you've won your last three is fine. A draw at Leeds when you haven't won since Ipswich, it's catastrophic. It's really crap. Now, look, I think you'll probably beat Bournemouth at the weekends.

11:25But does that even matter? Does that even matter? Like, you know, we've got Leeds, sorry, we've got Liverpool away and Chelsea away coming up before the end of November. That just looks like there's an inevitability to it at the moment. And I don't think Leeds are going to be in the top eight. And I don't think Leeds had massive problems with Man United. Certainly not in the second half. I felt they were the better side. So, yeah, I'm just confused. I'm very, very confused about the positivity from a draw at Leeds where we ran less, we had less of the ball. And in the second half, they looked like the only team that were going to win it.

12:03Granted, first half we did OK. But I mean, look, it wasn't even similar to what Amrind was doing. But my big frustration is that I predicted this for a long time. Man United will spend a lot of money and a lot of time talking to people with influence about doing them a favour. You know, we haven't got a lot of money. We're trying to build a stadium. We need some stability. We need some support for Michael. That is going round, by the way. I'm not going to tell you who's being told it, but that is going round, by the way. The club are doing that a lot. They're leaning on people. They're going, you know what?

12:39We haven't got a lot of money. We need to build a stadium. The last thing we need is another big change. We need support. We need support for Michael. But it's not support for Michael. He's out of his depth at the moment. It's not support for Michael. You're supporting the Glazers. And this is right. When people call out these journalists and people like Rio Ferdinand and other players, look, if I'm being honest, maybe even Gary Neff or maybe even Rooney. I'm not scared to say that. I think if you are constantly saying, I saw something against Leeds, you know, let's give him time. You played in Man United sides where this would be a crisis.

13:18Seven points from 21 would be a crisis. We're glazing signs of something, but I want to know what those signs are. Signs of something with 39 % possession. Signs of something when Leeds are the better team in the second half. Signs of something when we're running less. I don't know what these signs are. It's just spin. And you're doing it for the Glazers because the Glazers might be going, oh, Michael needs a bit of support. But actually, the Glazers need a bit of support because they don't want to sack another manager because it's going to cost them money and they need Carrick in place to protect them.

13:51And all these people who are protecting him and saying, oh, let's give him time. Let's give him time. You wouldn't have done it with Amrind and you wouldn't have done it with Sen Haag. But now because it's an ex-teammate, who's your mate, you'll do it. You should be more intelligent than that. You should be able to see the wood for the trees. You're protecting the glazers. That's what you're doing. Martinez backtracking last week. You're protecting the glazers. These people need calling out because the standards at the football club are... They've always been on the floor. They're unrecognisable at the moment.

14:21People are... You know, the manager of Manchester United is literally smiling at the start of the post-match interview when he's got seven points from 21 and he's clinging on against Leeds for half an hour. He's acting like he's Norwich. I can't believe it. I mean, look, I was away this weekend. Obviously, I've done a little bit of content. I did the match reaction. I was away. This was pre-planned. I was away this weekend. I didn't do any watch-alongs on our other channel. And I didn't do the watch-along for Leeds because Seb's team was playing a tournament in Amsterdam with people like Atletico Madrid and Brighton and Anderlecht.

15:01So I wanted to go. and I don't think I could have picked a better weekend to miss. I thought the Premier League was pretty boring in relation to results, although none of them helped us and I thought Man United's game was shit. I was stood there at this tournament just outside Amsterdam and I'm watching games and I've got my phone like that and I'm watching United and I'm like, this is, especially in the second half, I'm like, either Leeds are going to get a goal or this has got a 1-1 draw written all over it and lo and behold, it ended up being a 1-1 draw. I think, I just think we've become so predictable now.

15:32And look, people will go Como Bournemouth for chance to win a couple of games. It is the chance to win a couple of games. I can't believe, right? I can't believe how people want to down talk Man United, like Michael Carrick's working with a pile of shit. Now, look, he did deserve to be backed, but that's only because we want to be Arsenal. That's only because we want to be Man City. You look at that squad yesterday, right? And consider we're playing leads, right? Lemans, very good goalkeeper. Deleu, Martinez, Maguire, Yoro, Buleba, Santos, Bruno, Tillemans, Ahmad, Embermo. Do you know how much money there is on that pitch?

16:1065 million for Embermo. Ahmad was about 40. Tillemans was 35. Bruno was over 50. Santos was 50. Buleba was 70. Yoro was 50. Maguire was 80. Martinez was about 40. Can't remember the low. There's a lot. That team, compared to Leeds, value-wise, is off the roof. Then on the bench, you've got people like DeLitt, Xerxy, Cunha, Rashford, Mount. Mount was£55 million. Rashford's on£350 ,000 a week. Cunha was£60 million. Xerxy was£35 million. DeLitt was£50 million. So we're acting like, again, we're acting like we're bloody Norwich. Oh, and Carrick's working wonders. What a great point at Leeds. Backs to the wall, 40 % possession, running less than them.

18:47The moaning about the window was the opportunity to go from third to second. That team is a good team and he is underperforming. There is no way that that squad should have seven points from 21. Now, I'm not saying they should have 21 from 21, but we had the easiest start to the season in the Premier League. It was factual. If you watch our fancy Premier League show on the members section with H, At the start of the season, he was like, get Man United players in. On paper, we've got the easiest start to the season because we've got Hull, newly promoted. Ipswich, newly promoted. Everton, who are probably going to struggle after a crap transfer window.

19:25Man City, obviously, would be tough. But Fulham are in the bottom three. Spurs are in the bottom three. And Leeds. Like, it's such... And we've got seven points from 21. And yet, people are there this morning going, yeah, you know, Leeds. I can't believe Carrick's smiling. It just blew my mind. I can't believe he's smiling. I can't believe he's talking about a fresh start. But you know what? I don't blame Carrick. You'll notice I'm not saying Sack Carrick because when I was watching Carrick's post-match interview, I was like, there is a guy who knows he is absolutely safe. Jason Wilcox is acting like a guy who knows he's absolutely safe.

20:12That is not on them. If we actually had a decent ownership, Carrick could be shitting himself and Wilcox would, and they should both be shitting themselves. Look, whether you want to sack Carrick or not, 83 % of you are Carrick out in our poll, by the way. Whether you want to sack Carrick or not, even if you're Carrick in, and we've got amazing fans who go all over the world to watch Man United and they backed the players and they backed the manager and nobody should ever, ever criticise them for that because they're Man United fans home and away, spending a lot of money supporting the team, supporting the players.

20:49But even they would admit that Carrick should be under pressure. Whether you want him to be sacked or not, he should be under pressure. This is Manchester United. We've played shit this season. We've got shit results. He should be under pressure. He's not under pressure. coming out smiling, talking about fresh starts and positives. I don't even know what game he was watching, by the way. Some of his quotes after that game were wild. He was talking like it was a completely different game. But that is a guy who's under no pressure. So don't blame him. If you're a chef, right, and you are, you know, you don't own the restaurant.

21:29Somebody owns the restaurant and you're a chef. and you're getting one out of five star reviews on TripAdvisor and people are in hospital because you keep food poisoning them, you'd think you might lose your job.

21:44But in this situation, oh, it's okay. There's just literally no standards at all. There's no pressure at all. There's no consequence at all. And it feeds its way down the entire team. Bruno Fernandes should not be playing. This is not a blip. This is consistently poor. I did a video on Saturday night and somebody clipped a bit and they were right to clip it. They were like, Goldbridge is talking facts here because I said, I don't think he's at the Salah stage of last year, but I could not understand why Salah fell off. One of the greatest players the Premier League's ever seen and he just fell off.

22:21But Bruno Fernandes' final ball is, I mean, I've got Bruno in my fantasy Premier League team, right? I should have got rid of him at the weekend. I didn't do it. And I should get rid of him for Bournemouth, but I won't do it because I just keep thinking at some point he will start doing something. But his final ball is horrific. And this is the Premier League assist record holder. Why is he in the team? Why is Kunja only getting four minutes? Why is Kunja the fall guy? But Bruno can keep playing because there's no accountability. Bruno knows he won't get dropped. So he just turns up and keeps putting in bad performances.

22:57Carrick knows he's not going to get sacked. So he turns up after press conference, after matches and smiles. There's just no accountability. All Man United is, all Man United is, is a business. And all Man United are trying to do is survive for five years so they can build a stadium. This is, and look, I'm going to say it, Michael Carrick is a facilitator of the Glazers. And what I mean by that is, he knows, he's an intelligent guy. Michael Carrick's a fan. He's stood on the terraces as a retired player supporting Manchester United. He is a facilitator to the Glazers. He knows if he was at any other club, he'd probably lose his job.

23:36And he's intelligent enough to know that he's under no pressure because the Glazers are not ambitious. They just want a placeholder to protect them while they build a stadium. And if Michael Carrick doesn't realise he's a pawn in a game of chess, then I don't think he's that stupid. He is not under no pressure because they think he's a good manager. He is not under no pressure because they think he's going to build the next Barcelona. He's under no pressure because they're not arsed. They don't care about football. They care about building a stadium and they just want somebody cheap to protect them.

24:10And that's what Man United are now. We have no standards at this football club at all. And I tell you what, you better enjoy the next few weeks of Champions League football because we're going to be anywhere near it at the moment. We're nine points behind fucking Brighton. and look I don't worry about Chelsea and Liverpool because I think they I think we will they will finish above us anyway I mean God we're already five points behind Liverpool and six points behind Chelsea but we're nine points behind Brighton this is a fucking crisis this is not a drill I can't believe this morning the amount of client journalists and ex-players rimming this shit performance by, and just going, you know, I can see some progress.

24:55It's a fucking crisis. Ten Hag would be sacked for this. Amorim would be sacked for this. There would be lines like, you can't be nine points behind Brighton after seven games. Man United need to make emergency action now. We're nine points off Brighton. We cannot let that get any bigger. In fact, we need to close that gap ASAP. And the manager's coming out smiling, talking about fresh starts. I don't think people realise how worrying it is where Brighton are. Because even if Man City get the points deducted, if Brighton stay ahead of us, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, that's four. You've got to get fifth place then.

25:37And Brentford are doing quite well. Even Leeds are doing better than us. And if Spurs win tonight, they'll only be a point behind us. I mean, even Aston Villa ahead of us. I don't know how that's happened. So look, for me, it's not about this morning saying Sat Carrick or anything like that. For me, it's about the fact that there's no pressure on him. And that comes from Sir Jim Radcliffe. That comes from the Glazers. It's just not acceptable. It's not acceptable. And it's interesting because when I was in Amsterdam, I was speaking to a few different people out there. And very, very hospitable people, the Dutch, by the way.

26:12and I got recognised by a few people because they love their football. They weren't Man United fans and all they ever ask is what's happened to Man United? A great club, what's happened to Man United? And it's always the same. It's always the same. We're being ruined by the ownership. Nightmare beginning to United season in 40 years and Carrick is smiling and the media is no problem. The standards have officially gone. This is it, Rajaf. This is it. I mean, we're not making stuff up. it's the worst start we've had to a season in 40 years and Carrick's coming out smiling because he's not under any pressure look don't hate the player hate the game the game is the Glazers they're playing a big game here Carrick would not be smiling if he'd have been told if you don't beat Leeds you're losing your job somebody's told him don't worry about it you're here for the long run you know keep trying Carrick couldn't inspire me to eat a meal, let alone kick a ball for him, says Andreas.

27:12One point per game puts us on track for 38 points. Given the City points deduction, we should be safe. Chill out, Mark and everyone, says Eggy. Carrick was brought in to play the United way. If yesterday was that, then there is no standards. I can't back this. I'm sorry, says Patrick. Look, the positives for me yesterday, actually, I thought Deleuze played quite well. I don't mind Ahmad as a wing back. I thought Maguire was OK. I thought Santos and Baleba did OK, but I wouldn't say it was like, oh my God, we're going to cook. I don't think I'd look at that performance and go, yeah, we'll be able to get a result against Chelsea or Liverpool.

27:47We got a draw against Leeds. There were some okay performances. I wouldn't sit here and say everybody was shit. There were some okay performances. Embermo obviously got a goal.

27:59But it's just confusing. It's confusing. And I don't know why Rashford's gone back to the bench again either. I just don't know what Carrick's idea is. I just don't know what he's doing I don't know what he's doing and I don't think certain players know what he's doing either I think it's just, Yoro was good as well yeah, good shout out Maddy 20 % win ratio in all competitions is not good enough, says Blameshifter Dino says yesterday showed that the players aren't playing for Carrick now and there was no motivation and no fighting spirit I think they're done with him as well I don't blame the players if you're an ambitious player I don't blame you for this situation your fitness levels are shite and that is always worth mentioning, the fitness levels of this team are abysmal.

28:42We've been outrun again by five kilometres. I think we ran 110 and they ran 115. It's abysmal. And it needs calling out every bloody week until we sort it out. And if I was a player, I'd be like, this is embarrassing how you've set me up for the season because our fitness levels are a joke. Hi, Mark, United Stand. Hopefully you're all well and hopefully you and Seb had a great trip to Amsterdam and Seb had a good tournament. It's a sorry state of affairs and all on the ownership. says Daniel will need a complete reset all round absolutely and I hope you're doing well Daniel as well Marlowe says the rest of the squad may not be clear to be as honest as Martinez but the way they play shows that they feel the same says Marlowe his presses are so boring as well Carrick out says Kevin do you think it's the beginning of the end of Carrick says Ahmed no I don't I think it should be but I don't I think that they've got no intention of sacking him and they're going to stick with him until we can't get Europe but But this is what I mean about Brighton.

29:39What are they going to do? Wait until it's mathematically impossible for us not to get Europe. I'm telling you now, nine points. I mean, I don't think people realise how much nine points is. I mean, it's nine points. But what I'm saying is, in the context of a season, United will pitch in at around 70 points. So Brighton are 10 % of our points ahead of us. Nine points ahead of us, Brighton. That is a lot. That is a lot. And that's who you've got to catch if you want to make sure you're going to get Champions League football. And United seem oblivious to it. But, oh, it's still early days. It's shit.

30:23I was never Carrick in in the first place, says Adrian C, so I'm Carrick out. Tickets are now on sale going fast, says Robert McCormick. Oh, this is the show with me and Wayne in January, aren't they? You can get your tickets now. we're two points away from a relegation ranks is Carlo, yeah no one will talk about I mean how, how I mean let's go back to an ex-player again, so let's go back to Rio right, how can he sit there how can he honestly sit there and go I can see things, I can see things good I can, you know, we've got to give him more time, I mean it's just mates race and can I have an interview from the club please, it's bullshit bullshit it.

31:03Carrick took advantage of the physically dominant team Amrim left behind to run his counter-attacking football with great success. Why would he not continue that training regime and player power, says Slazy? I don't know. I think it's a great point because we did have a lot of success last season. And even Carrick referenced it in his post-match interview about how last season we went on a good run and a few people have mentioned it as well. But we all know what last season was about. It was a new manager bounce where players want to prove that hammering was the problem. It was one game a week where your lack of fitness won't get exposed.

31:49Every time we played two games a week, we struggled. You remember Newcastle was midweek, West Ham was midweek. We always struggled when we had to play midweek. I think we ended it three times. Bruno was off the charts. Casemiro was off the charts. And Harry Maguire was trying to go to the World Cup. So we had three off-the-charts players really motivated, really playing well. Well, Casemiro's gone. And Bruno's fell off a cliff. So the things that made us great last season were not Carrick's coaching. There was other things at play as well. And he hasn't got those things now. and we're not able to replicate it.

32:28I mean, also, I wouldn't underestimate the word confusion. He can't get Marcus Rashford into the team quick enough and now he's not starting him. Now, he can say it's injury, but Rashford's been injured since the summer. Kunja was a big player for him last year. Can't get in the team. Embermo is a striker again. Santos couldn't get in the team but has started the last two games Bruno has been bad all season but starts every game Deleuze is now left wing back like there is just so Yoros are right back now at times there are so many things that are confusing about what Carrick's trying to do and all we actually get is everything's going to be okay I mean every bad result we've had this season he said we're going to be a good team you know you can rest assured we're going to be a good team but when?

33:21when? Are we going to be a good team? Nightmare beginning. I've done that one from Rajah as well. Would you have subbed Belaber out for Mount instead of Santos yesterday, says Arena. I don't think Mason Mount made a blind bit of difference to that game, to be honest with you. I think sometimes some of our substitutes are very depressing because they're just part of the same story, aren't they? But, you know, we are missing Mainu. I mean, Maynard is a big player for Man United.

35:43I would still look at Man United starting 11 and I would still look at Man United's bench and I wouldn't be going, oh, we battled for a draw against Leeds and we're hanging on at the end. There's better players. I think there's a lot of confusion in that squad at the moment. And it's not a good thing to change your tactics every game. We played very different tactics against Atletico Madrid to what we played yesterday. And trust me, he is not a coach. And that coaching staff is not experienced enough to do that. And even if you've got the best coaching staff in the world, it's very difficult to do what we did against Atletico Madrid and then change it for Leeds as well.

36:25We're all over the place at the moment with tactics. And I know Maguire was talking about how we'd worked on it this week and we wanted to match up to Leeds. But Calvert-Lewin said after the game, it wasn't a surprise. It wasn't a surprise that Man United did that and it didn't really cause us that many problems.

36:43Go back and watch any Sir Alex United documentary. Them standards are light years away. So why are we settling for this? Brentford will finish above United, says Jack. And I went hiking last weekend and this weekend, but I'm not supporting the board or the league anymore. I'll get heckled for this, but I'm over it, says Stain. Andron says, I was never Amrim out, but since last week I'm Carrick out. Nothing to get behind. Even when we were getting results, we never played well. Zero ambition. and Carrick was given a rubbish summer, says Midry, and an unfit team. Jason Wilcox has caused this and the owners and the board, Carrick is not the answer.

37:17I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what though. I mean, you will be intelligent enough to figure this out and what, I probably should have said this right at the start of the video, what I figured out yesterday is that United are so desperate to keep Carrick, they actually PR draws. Like a draw away to Leeds. Is it, you know, people are writing articles about how it's a positive result and takes the pressure off Carrick. I mean, seven points from 21, worst start to the season in 40 years. But drawing a game takes the pressure off him.

37:57Imagine when he beats Bournemouth. If he beats Bournemouth. I mean, the PR will be off the roof. it looks to me like now as long as Carrick wins a game every three games then they'll keep him I think to get rid of him he'd probably have to lose four or five games in a row which looks impossible with this squad you know but there's so many good managers available at the moment as well let me get into some other stuff as well what about have you got any more comments from Carrick I've got some here. We've got something to take us forward from today. This is a tough game today. Not getting too carried away because we didn't win the game.

38:41Felt like a fresh start. Boys are desperate to do well. Well, it gives... I mean... What's... What is this? What coaching is this? The boys are desperate to do well. Well, maybe fucking coach them to do well then. I'm sorry. I just don't... The boys are desperate to do well. This is a fresh start. Ten Hag would be ridiculed for saying that. I don't know who the panel was for Sky, but if Amram said that, he'd be ridiculed. Ridiculed. Madness.

39:25Next six games. Como away, Bournemouth at home, Chelsea away, Roma at home, Villa at home, Liverpool away. I mean, look, you'd hope we win the home games. Bournemouth, Roma and Villa, you'd hope you'd win three of them. Como away will be, I don't really know. I don't really know much about Como. I don't know whether they're good or bad. Chelsea away, look, we won at Chelsea and we won at Liverpool last year. So let's not write it off completely. But remember what I said to you. I did say that we had, I like to do it in blocks. And we had, what did we have? Five points from 15 from the first five games, didn't we?

40:07Because we lost to Hull, we lost to City, drew to Fulham, drew to Everton, beat Ipswich. So we had five points from 15, which is shit.

40:20And I think we needed to get about 12 from the next five, just so it would be 17 from 15 and start at 17 from 30 and start to make it look good. We're already in this block of five, two from six.

40:39So, well, let's put it even blunter. We are seven from 21. The next international break is in three Premier League games times. Do you think we're going to beat Villa, Bournemouth and Chelsea? And even if he did do that, it would be 16 from 30 which is not great but it would be a decent recovery from where he is now but the reality is he's going to be less than 15 points from 30 in his first 10 games which is shite it's shit it's really shit let's have a look at Como's result at the weekend Como, Como, Como did they play at the weekend?

41:26they beat Fiorentina 3-1 away from home

41:32and they are currently fifth in the league a point behind Milan who are doing very well under Amirim to be fair very well indeed

41:50more quotes from Carrick it felt like a fresh start today where we're at accepting and doing something about it. There was a real purpose to the group the last couple of days and they took it out onto the pitch. What game was he watching? Maybe first half, maybe first half, right? But I don't know what game he's watching. He's just glazing a point at Leeds where we didn't run much and we didn't have much possession.

42:18He spoke to the boys this morning about the history of the game and what it means. Well, they didn't run more than Leeds and they had less possession than Leeds.

42:31You look at that midfield with Balaba and Santos. That's a pretty fresh spine of the team through the middle of the pitch. Both young players adapting to life at the football club and I thought both of them were terrific today. I thought they both did really well in midweek, so that's a massive positive for us. But, okay, I actually thought but Belaber and Santos were okay as well. Why haven't you used Santos for weeks?

42:57He was the manager. I think he's acting. You know what I think he's done? I think he's acting like he's just become manager for Leeds. Maybe that's what he's doing. It's a fresh start. I don't know. He's an interim again. I don't know. I don't know. I find it crazy. I really do.

43:22I don't know whether this is true. Apparently, James Ducker has said that there is some concern in the boardroom about the performances from Carrick, not necessarily just the results.

43:35And a bit of an injuries thing from a couple of days ago from Simon Stone about Rashford saying they're still trying to get him back to his full fitness. Oh, I wanted to bring this in. Let me just come back to the chat. I want to bring this in about Wilcox because, again, I feel like some people have just swept this under the carpet about Wilcox and he was called out massively by Martinez. This came in while I was away and I wanted to bring this into a show because this is from Chris Wheeler in the mail via an agent. Jason Wilcox is in an incredibly difficult position. Everybody would think he's the decision maker at the club, but he absolutely isn't.

44:16United is run by the owners. Sir Jim Radcliffe and the Glazers. If you sack Wilcox, nothing will change. It's a mess. We had a deal agreed with Jason and then Jim got involved and tried to change it. He ended up killing it. Which, the reason I wanted to read it out is because I know specifically in relation to a midfielder we were having talks with that there were people on the board who were on board with doing that deal. But then other people got involved and said, no, we're not doing it. We're doing a different deal. And this is the problem with United. You know, Wilcox isn't very good at his job, in my opinion, and deserves to be sacked.

44:59And you could say the same about Carrick. But you cannot underestimate the influence, negative influence, the likes of Sir Jim Radcliffe and the Glazers have on the club. And it does take its toll, absolutely. Leicester 24-25 got 9 from 24 just putting this here says JJ and Carrick was given a done that one from Midry as well thank you very much

45:32do you think the players are supporting Carrick?

45:47it's such a hard one to it's such a hard one to answer because to be honest with you I do and I don't know whether you share this opinion but there are a number of players at that football club who I'm just tired of them I'm absolutely tired of them they've been here too long and it's not even that I don't like them I'm just tired of seeing team sheets with them involved. It's, they've never been good enough. They're never going to be good enough. And they're still starting games for Man United. So are these players with Carrick? I sometimes think, well, who gives a shit whether they're with him or not?

46:20I'm not with some of these players. However, I think when you look at the likes of Yoro and Buleba and Santos and Tillemans and Embermo and Cunha, Lemans, there is, Maynou, there is a clutch of players that are, it's not in their interest to be not with the manager. I think that they are eager to please and they are eager to work hard, but they're not getting the foundation for that to happen. They're not getting the coaching and they're not getting the fitness. I mean, I do think people don't understand this, is that if players are badly coached and badly trained, it's a double whammy. You don't have the fitness and you don't have the coaching.

47:01and I don't think Steve Holland's up to it. I've never thought he was up to this level and Jonathan Woodgate and Johnny Evans are clearly very inexperienced and so is Michael Carrick. So I think in defence of the players, the fitness levels are abysmal and they're not responsible for them and the coaching is not going to be, let's be respectful. The coaching Iriola is giving Liverpool or Alonso is giving Chelsea or Arteta is giving Arsenal is up here compared to what Michael Carrick's giving Man United because Michael Carrick's down here compared to those three coaches. So we are, I think we would be in a better, I think we'd be in a better position.

47:43Look, if I was a current Man United player and I had any sway, I would be saying to Wilcox, look, Michael came in and did a great job as an interim, but I'm really worried about this season and I'm really worried about where we're going to end this season. you have managers out there that would come in and make an instant impact in relation to tactics and fitness. And I think we should be looking at doing that. That's what I would say. But I don't know with the players. You don't know. Martinez comes out and says something and no one backs him. Stayed up last night to watch United play and see the players not caring, says Shornick.

48:23Manager smiling and defending how we play. It takes a toll on the health. I just think in conclusion, Shornick, the reason Carrick smiles and talks about fresh starts is because he's safe. And he knows he's safe. And that comes from people above him. The standards of the football club are unrecognisable to many of us, but what can we do about it? We're operating on an Everton standard in relation to transfer windows and standards. So what are we supposed to do? We was meant to be the best team in England. And now it's about this. I mean, Liverpool wouldn't give the job to Carrick or equivalent.

49:05Arsenal wouldn't. It just wouldn't happen. Wouldn't happen. And people would say, well, Arteta was a bit like Carrick. Well, Arteta wasn't a little bit like Carrick, was he? Arteta came in and got rid of the two biggest players straight away. Ozil and Aubameyang. He cleaned house. He was given authority to do that. next they'll praise players for putting socks on says John thank you very much John and AB as well

49:37and anybody that thinks you can compare Carrick to Arteta is hilarious stylistically tactics ambition support coaching staff everything that Arteta's done has been supported by their board and it's been very strategic I'm confused by the Carrick vision at the moment I'm so confused I don't even know what he'll do against Como Will he try and match up against Como? I mean I just don't know I mean look let me have a look at Como's line up

50:14So they went to Fiorentina and they won 3-1

50:22And they play a 4-2-3-1 so will we do that as well? I don't know.

50:34I don't know. Okay, thank you everybody for tuning in. Nice to be back. I feel a bit rough to be honest with you. I think I caught something off the plane. I'm feeling a little bit run down but nothing that will stop me. I am, there is an eight o 'clock show tonight. I'm actually on my own channel because Gold Devils are playing tonight in Border League. So we're playing against one of the favourites, Deportria. If you want to tune in at seven o 'clock, we're live on my channel for that. FC 27 will be tomorrow, Metu, because I've got me Border League stuff tonight at seven. So we'll replicate last week, but I will have it on Friday this week because I'm not going anywhere.

51:15Amsterdam Airport is an awful airport, to be honest. I thought the staff were very good, but we were at a football tournament yesterday and most of the people who were playing in Seb's team, and we had about four teams there, were on the same flight last night at seven o 'clock. Halfway through the tournament, everyone's phone just goes, bing, flight cancelled. I've never had that happen to me before, by the way. I've never had that happen before. But instantly it was like, fucking hell, that's a whole plane of people and a flight gone. So you're like desperately trying to find a flight. I mean, there's some people who are still there until tomorrow because they're waiting for flight.

51:52spaces to come up. So we got on a flight this morning at seven o 'clock to get back. But

52:05yeah, I've had enough of flying this year. I had the drama in Malaga where I'd booked the flights and missed them. I had to buy a load more. And then we've had this cancellation today. Yesterday, which was just, oh yeah, it's exhausting. Stick to United's out tomorrow, Josh, eight o 'clock tomorrow morning. Yeah. Thank you so much for everybody tuning in. As always, it's great to be back. I'm going to go and drop a video on the other channel now and we are back at two o 'clock. Beth's back at two. I'll be back at eight and I'll speak to you in a bit. Take care. Thanks for watching.
