Ian Irving and Andy Mitten are feeling a little tender this Monday morning. Fortunately, it's not because of another chastening defeat at Anfield!Laurie Whitwell completes the trio as we dissect a resolute defensive performance from Erik Ten Hag's Manchester United, albeit one with very little attacking threat.Given recent results, especially those at Liverpool, this can be viewed as a step in the right direction, but the next few steps are even more important for the future of this team and this manager.

It's a full house on the podcast as we dissect another awful performance away from home at a top-half Premier League side. A 1-0 defeat in Newcastle didn't tell the story with Ten Hag's men clearly second best throughout.St James's Park has not been a happy hunting ground in recent years and the hosts were "good value" for their third consecutive win over Manchester United since the Carabao Cup final last February. Erik Ten Hag's in-game management is also looking shaky, especially when compared to last season.United have been drawn away in the cup(!), but the next three games will be at home, starting with Wednesday night's visit of Chelsea. This time, the opposition are at least as chaotic, probably more, and it's very difficult to predict how this game will play out.***• Athletic Greens is going to give you a FREE 1 year supply of immune-supporting Vitamin D AND 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase.
