Terrible.

And Amri made a couple of comments that suggested that he wasn't a fan at all.

So I think we'd all written Darga off as an expensive one.

Not that expensive, but still, £28 million flop from Lecce.

But Carrick has just given him confidence, given him some recent life into him.

And he's scored an amazing goal at the Emirates.

He's scored a winning goal against City in the Derby.

So, you know, Patrick Dargou has kind of embodied what Michael Carrick's done.

He's given the players confidence, a bit of freedom, and that was there in the performance yesterday.

I think that when I mentioned trust before, I think it's also the player's trust to carry his coaches now.

And I don't think he trusted Amarim, his coaches.

I think we've said this for a while now that,

post Alex Ferguson United haven't had a proper backroom staff a kind of a senior first team coach and Steve Holland has come in I think already you can see the difference that he's made he's made United much more organised I think you know Harry Maguire as you know has played with Holland with England and he knows what he can do as an organiser and I think even Diogo Dalot you know I think I've been critical of Dalot a lot on this podcast but at the Emirates it looked like Dalot with the penny had dropped that

pick your moment don't look forward all the time when you defend do it you know in a line and be organised in a week 10 days you can see that Steve Holland has had an impact it's a good appointment isn't it Steve a brilliant appointment it's a bit of a coup that isn't it I mean you all know better than anyone about what you can do but from the outside looking in

he's not a popular i mean i've got to say you know this he's not the most popular coach with players he can be hard and people have told me that it can be quite hard it can be cold it can be arrogant at times he's got a bit of bite about money yeah but he's got the track record that backs up he's worked at chelsea yeah he's worked at in england i mean with chelsea works you know under marino under ancelotti he's worked with the best he's worked with england got an under period of great success you know you can say what you want but they still had a successful period of england

So he's got credentials that I don't think any coach since René Moulinstein or Carlos Queiroz have had at United.

And he comes with those credentials and he can see that the players are looking around thinking, we've got a bench that knows what he's doing.

You know, Ruben Amrim's reputation took a bit of a battering during 14 months at United.

It took an even bigger battering the two games since he's left because it's like, what were you doing?

What was Ruben Amrim doing that made this team so inhibited and so poor?
