A Como-dy of Errors

Studio 1878 — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 03:33:00 GMT

#1061 | Manchester United were beaten 4-1 at Como in the Champions League. Ed and Dominic try to make sense of it.

United’s pressing does not work; the players asked to lead it cannot do it, and Como passed through United at will.

Carrick’s vision for the team is slipping by the week. How much is that on Carrick and how much on a club run by the same people who hired and fired ten Hag and Amorim, with a squad that was barely improved in the summer?

Carrick probably won't go yet, though the November break and the January window are the usual moments for change.

There there's Bournemouth at Old Trafford this weekend and a manager running short of options.

Como 4-1 Man Utd: An Embarrassment - And Is This the End of Carrick?

Scott Saunders — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 21:04:00 GMT

Manchester United have suffered one of their most humiliating European defeats in recent memory, dismantled 4-1 by Como in a Champions League performance that raises enormous questions about Michael Carrick's future.

United were comprehensively outplayed by Cesc Fàbregas' side, showing little intensity, organisation or attacking threat as their winless run extended to seven matches. With the team seemingly going backwards every week, has Carrick now reached the point of no return?

The fallout after full-time was just as concerning. Bruno Fernandes appeared to question the tactical approach, suggesting United needed to be braver and more aggressive in their pressing, while Carrick criticised the players' lack of running and commitment. Are the manager and his captain now publicly identifying different reasons for the same disastrous performance?

Scott Saunders reacts to one of United's worst performances in recent memory.

Where does Leeds draw leave Carrick?

Man Utd Have Gone Back to Square One Under Michael Carrick - Leeds 1-1 Man Utd Reaction

Scott Saunders — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 12:29:00 GMT

Manchester United's 1-1 draw at Leeds United leaves Michael Carrick's side with just seven points from their opening seven Premier League games, extending a winless run that stretches back to August.

Three consecutive 1-1 draws against bottom-half opposition have stopped the run of defeats, but have they actually changed anything? Despite an encouraging spell under Carrick towards the end of last season, United increasingly look like a team returning to the same problems that plagued them before his appointment.

There were positives at Elland Road. United showed greater commitment, Leny Yoro and Carlos Baleba impressed, and they produced a well-worked goal. But familiar weaknesses remain: underlying performances, vulnerability from set pieces, players operating outside their preferred positions and questions over Carrick's tactical decisions and use of substitutions.

Where next? Scott Saunders talks through his thoughts.

United Draw Ugly

Studio 1878 — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 02:08:00 GMT

#1060 | Michael Carrick changed the system at Elland Road and United came home with a 1-1 draw. It was closer to a street fight than a football match for much of it. Ed and Dharnish go through United’s approach and performance, including a back three and Bruno Fernandes pushed out wide. It wasn’t very pretty but at least United matched Leeds for physicality before the second half slipped away.

The point leaves United on two wins from 10 across all competitions this season. The question on everybody’s lips is how long Carrick has? More defeats over the next few weeks will increase the pressure on club and manager.

Then, what does a growing injury list mean for United’s trip to Como in the Champions League.

0:00 Carrick changes the system
0:46 Leeds away: a proper scrap
2:46 What’s going on with Bruno?
6:37 Fight and physicality, but no football
17:22 Should Carrick be sacked?
26:03 Does Bruno need a rest?
33:24 Preview: United vs Como
42:26 Final thoughts and sign-off

Lisandro Martinez Apologises - Should He Play at Leeds? HUGE Match for Carrick!

Scott Saunders — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 16:36:00 GMT

Lisandro Martínez has apologised following his explosive comments about Manchester United's leadership, but questions remain about his future at Old Trafford ahead of the visit to Leeds.

After meeting with the club's hierarchy and Michael Carrick, Martínez has issued a further statement acknowledging that his public criticism was made at the wrong time and place. But does the apology draw a line under the controversy, or could the Argentine defender now be considering his future away from Manchester United?

There's reaction to Carrick's latest press conference, including his comments about standards in training and the responsibility of United's players.

Should United now consider phasing Martínez out and moving him on? What sort of transfer fee could the club realistically command, and would selling him be the right decision?

Attention also turns to Sunday's Premier League trip to Leeds United, with a look at the team news, Carrick's selection decisions, a predicted starting XI and the importance of getting a result after another turbulent week at Old Trafford.

The Tactics Show: Meltdown Mode

Studio 1878 — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 19:51:00 GMT

*Apologies for the dodgy audio on this week's episode*

#1059 | Ed, Dharnish, and Daniel open in meltdown mode. Manchester United have two wins from nine and the latest crisis is the fallout from Lisandro Martinez’ criticism of Jason Wilcox. The tactics tell the story. United conceded after 50 seconds at Atletico with five players in one zone and nobody closing down. They had used a 4-4-2 mid-block against Spurs and were pulled apart anyway. The diagnosis is a team caught between pressing high, sitting deep, and dominating the ball. Masters of none. From there, we work through questions around Yoro, Maguire, Martinez and De Ligt at centre-back. Then there’s Leeds’s 3-5-2 to deal with at the weekend and what Como will ask of United next week.

0:00 Meltdown mode
1:35 Pressing problem vs Atlético
5:24 High press or mid-block?
7:51 Spurs: the 4-4-2 falls apart
9:58 Squad building and Carrick’s vision
14:57 Centre-back questions: Yoro, Maguire, De Ligt
18:29 Ball dominance isn’t working
25:00 Predicted XI vs Leeds
