#933 | Ed and Daniel unpack United’s 2–2 draw with Nottingham Forest - a result that both felt like two points ... and a measure of United's renewed character. They break down the key moments: defensive lapses, flashes of attacking quality, and Amad Diallo’s stunning goal that gained United a point. There’s analysis of United’s shape, midfield balance, and why the back three still doesn’t quite convince.
The conversation wanders through hangover football, Forest’s proud history, and the broader dysfunction across football, from financial chaos to ownership farce. They also weigh up United’s January transfer options, Amad’s emerging role, and what needs to change to turn momentum into consistency.

Utter Coke Nonsense
#932 | Ed and Adam break down Manchester United’s upturn in form - and the growing sense that Rúben Amorim’s ideas are finally taking hold. From the cynicism of a month ago to whispers of Champions League qualification (steady on), the mood around Old Trafford has changed fast.
We dig into United’s more direct, vertical style, Casemiro’s resurgence, and Bruno Fernandes’ rediscovered influence in Amorim’s system. The conversation moves to the small tactical tweaks - in pressing shape, passing, and roles - that have helped unlock a sharper, more confident team.
Beyond the pitch, there’s talk of Liverpool’s struggles, Forest’s chaos, and how AFCON absences could test the squad’s depth this winter just as momentum returns. The episode closes with cautious optimism and a look at United’s next step in the rebuild - both on the field and off it.

The Tactics Show: System Tweaks, Winning Streak
#931 | Ed, Dharnish, and Daniel unpack Manchester United’s three-match winning streak and the tactical shifts driving it. The conversation explores Ruben Amorim’s evolving setup - the changing press and out-of-possession shape, the role of the front three, Luke Shaw's tweaked role, Bruno's excellence in midfield. And how it all came together against Brighton.
Beyond Old Trafford, the trio touch on Liverpool’s wobble, weaknesses in other top-six rivals, and how the African Cup of Nations could reshape the season. It’s an episode full of tactical detail and a bit of optimism.

Cunha Believe It?
#930 | Cunha Believe It: United Hit Four Past Brighton
Ed and Dan team break down United’s 4–2 win over Brighton - one of the most complete attacking performances of the season. They celebrate standout showings from Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Šeško, whose link-up play and pressing intensity set the tone for the victory.
The discussion dives into Amorim’s tactical tweaks, the balance between direct transitions and controlled possession, and how United’s new-look front line is starting to click. There’s also a look at Anthony Taylor’s latest refereeing circus, and what this win means for United’s confidence heading into a packed winter schedule.
Somewhere in there, the lads detour briefly to Ibiza nightlife and dodgy club remixes - but quickly return to the football, we promise.

Bruno at 300
#929 | Ed and Tom unpack a busy few days on and off the pitch. From Manchester United’s dramatic late win over Liverpool, it’s been a rare stretch of joy in the Unitedverse.
The discussion turns to Saturday’s trip to Brighton, a fixture that’s brought more pain than pleasure in recent years. The hosts assess how United can approach the game tactically, and what’s needed to avoid another defeat to the Seagulls.
There’s analysis of potential new midfield arrivals - and their suitability for Amorim’s system, before focusing on the promising rise of JJ Gabriel, training with the first team this week. What does his inclusion signal about United’s renewed commitment to the academy pathway?
The conversation also celebrates Bruno Fernandes’ 300th appearance for the club - reflecting on his influence, leadership, and what his longevity says about the standards he’s set. And from Manchester to Catalonia, Ed and Tom check in on Marcus Rashford’s resurgence at Barcelona and what it reveals about his turbulent final years at United.
