All Bore, No Score

#1004 | Ed and Tom look back on United’s 0-0 draw at Sunderland, the first goalless game of the season. Casemiro’s absence exposed how disjointed United look without him. With five mostly enforced changes, they discuss underwhelming displays from Mason Mount and Josh Zirkzee, limited attacking output from the full-backs, and United’s lack of physicality. Once again, Senne Lammens came to United’s rescue. What a signing he has been.  With Champions League secured, and not much action on the pitch to talk about, the conversation turns to summer priorities - especially central midfield signings. Finally, there’s Forest next week to think about. 00:00 Introduction and Match Reaction 02:17 Player Ratings: The Stand-ins 05:40 Kobbie Mainoo and The Midfield  14:00 Summer Transfer Priorities 28:02 Strikers: Zirkzee, Højlund and Chido Obi 40:58 Last Summer's Signings Reviewed 42:10 Transfer Wishlist 50:49 Forest, The Title Race and Real Madrid Drama If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
