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.
