#979 | Ed and Dan look back on United’s 1–0 win at Everton. It was functional rather than convincing but a vital three points as United close in on a return to the Champions League. There’s plenty of praise for another excellent Senne Lammens performance in goal under heavy pressure from Everton’s agricultural set-piece routines. When, if ever, are referees going to protect goalkeepers who are now routinely fouled? It’s all Mikel Arteta’s fault. Despite the victory, was this another case of United struggling to break down a low-block until Benjamin Sesko’s entrance on the hour? The striker now has six goals in his past seven appearances but should he have been on from the start? United will face another team willing to sit deep at the weekend, with struggling Palace at Old Trafford. Surely time to change it up in attack. 00:00 Introduction 01:46 Senne Lammens’ performance 06:23 Sesko's Goal, Squad Rotation 10:01 Set Pieces 18:06 Kobbie Mainoo and Midfield Control 23:51 Squad Depth and Youth Players 33:43 Spurs Relegation Battle 38:24 Women's Team 40:31 Crystal Palace 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.
