Show Notes

Host Jack Tait and guest Cain Smith review Manchester United's second defeat in a row, a 4-0 hammering by Brentford.


Starting with the major tactical decisions with the game, Jack and Cain discuss United's inability to play under pressure, De Gea's situation as symptomatic of everything wrong at United, before looking at what this poor start means going forward. We also look ahead to next week's clash with Liverpool.
