On a Wing-Back and a Prayer
Episode 936
#936 | Another 2–2. Another week of mixed feelings. In this episode Ed and Daniel pick apart Manchester United’s draw with Spurs - a game that summed up everything both encouraging and exasperating about Rúben Amorim’s side. The pair dig into team selection and the curious decision to field two fullbacks as wingbacks, a move that left United solid but sterile. There’s frustration at missed opportunities, defensive lapses, and another late switch that came just a little too late. Daniel vents about United’s risk-averse mentality; Ed wonders if the problem’s less system and more psyche. The conversation widens to possible January fixes, especially at wing-back which is proving to be an ongoing problem.
