Manchester United’s Malaise | Three Up Front 

This comment section makes me laugh. Everyone asking to get rid of Deeney or Souness because they don’t like them. You do know that no one is forcing you to watch the podcast 😂

Cracking new format. Really good to hear their opinions. Great mix, well done. Look forward to seeing the next one.

Love Troy Deeneys input, class show & 3 class men

Salah is world class.. fickle people forgetting he’s just come back from his longest injury absence. They’ll be singing his praises again next week.

Jordan said the other week Manchester United don't deserve the column inches, video news attention they get. But he does a podcast special on them 😭😭😭 Hypocrite!!!

My understanding is that Wilfred arrive at Old Trafford with the wrong attitude on and off the pitch. Ask the neighbors who lived adjacent to his club house and you’ll soon have your answer , as to why his career in Manchester was a short one. Sadly he is/was not alone.

Great show. Add Martin O'Neill and these are the best on talksport.

didn’t realise you guys had a channel, great content guys and what a great trio

Graham - ‘your talking bollocks’ 😭😭😂

Great new series this. Three people who aren't afraid to give honest criticism.

I enjoyed that. Learned something too. Great content.

Regardless the topics so far, I bloody love these three together and their dynamic of questioning each other. Obvs the whole point, but so well done!

Maybe in this episode Simon will ask Graeme about what it's like to be a big strong man making tough tackles, and how back in Graeme's day, men were stronger. And Graeme will solemnly nod, and then go on to explain how these modern players just aren't as tough any more.

Great stuff! Love this podcast

Great show love the dynamic

Casemiro was good with Fred alongside him, Fred was the legs - Fred wasn't replaced or upgraded and you can see the result

22:40 This moment here is why this is getting my like. That's the energy you want on these channels 😁

I do like these, but I hope these aren’t replacing the one to one interviews you’ve been doing up till now Simon.

Not a Doris in sight, fantastic!! YNWA!! ✌

Nice addition in Troy. He might have had a melt down at Forest Green but I enjoy listening to him and his take on football.

Why does Deeney always sound like he has a head cold? He's awful.

Man Utd , hated , adored but never ignored

It's only full houses every week because the season tickets are sold before a ball is kicked. How many would turn up to watch this team if they hadn't already paid in advance.

15:49 For those who don't get it, Souness was the manager of Liverpool in the early 90s for a short while when things went downhill for them 😂

Three great guys to have around the table for football chats

Onana was 43 million, not 70.

Simon. Is there a possibility of getting yourself and Gary Neville in a room? Now that would be the ultimate. JORDAN vs NEVILLE

Lmao the intro.. “TO TELL IT LIKE IT REALLY IS!” Yeah u and all the rest keepin it real

I dont think Souness has ever got anywhere because he keeps coming back to it

Enjoy listening to all three of these blokes , 3 different kinds of opinions from completely different people

Excellent show

Maguire…..”a very good leader.”………That was enough for me, I switched off!

Class show this is 🔥

When Troy described Zouma as a nice guy I thought surely Simon won't let that slide... didnt disappoint haha

Troy’s alright actually. Give him a chance

Really bizarre how far backwards they went this year. I'd be looking to get Jose back. Should've never been sacked. Varane and Casemeiro are terrific players. They just got them too late. They need to look for the next Casemeiro not the current ageing one. Seems like they're begining to bring a few young lads in but it's early days. Deeney is right about harsher punishments. Ten Hag showed real authority when he was up against Ronaldo. He needs to get back to that version of himself.

Between Arsenal and Liverpool, they have won the league one more time than United since Fergie.

im sorry but on the thumbnail.. Simon looks the spitting image of an old Rodney Trotter from Only Fools And Horse. Have a look and i bet you wont be able to unsee it.

Now this is CONTENT!

Souness always overestimates how much Onana cost. £40-£45M depending which source you believe where has he got £70m from?

Is it get Troy deeney on as many shows/podcasts as possible year or something? ALWAYS the big I am from him

Yeah I agree. Its not his views, its his face & voice.

Hey, it's the three "tell it like it is!" man's man who all work for the mainstream media and never say anything genuinely controversial whatsoever. No holds barred!

Love the content gentlemen

I have never watched it but someone told me to google a TV show called Trailer Park Boys and look at the character called Bubbles and he really does look like Jordan 🥸🤣🤣🤣

Few points in my opinion Casemiro was class last season and dominated games, yes this year he’s suffered but I would give him another chance. If he’s the same next year then get rid. Onana - garbage, still don’t get why he got rid of de gea who won the golden glove. Onana has cost us in the champions league and countless mistakes in the prem. A shit shot stopper too, couldn’t care less about his ball playing from the back. The defence has been battered this year. Our solid partnership was varane, Martinez. Dalot and shaw/malacia. 3 of them are always injured. So hopefully this will improve next year. Although I think varane is going this summer so we’ll need a defender. Lindelof/maguire - not good enough and got to go. Sancho - absolute garbage ever since he signed, had a few good games back in dortmund and the media hype him. Just can’t hack the prem. sell. Rashford - too hot and cold, also needs multiple chances to score. Had more than enough time so get rid and buy someone reliable who can make a difference. Mason mount - garbage and injury prone, an absolute pointless signing. Ten hag - made some awful signings, but the defence has never been consistent. Based on the mess he had to sort when he came in I’d give him another season and see where he’s at up until Xmas with the new structure and proper footballing people in charge of recruitment. If it’s still disgrace by then, you know it’s right to get rid.

Can you guys just do a slight bit of research beforehand? Onana did not cost 70m 🤣

Keep up the good work.

I gotta be honest. Simon is the real top G and I respect it

Wonder if they'll do a 40 minute!! Podcast if any other team loose. ...

Great show fellas. 3 honest speakers

Any chance Deeley could try a Vicks Inhaler?

When you mentioned Rashford to build the team around first 😂, and then he needs 10 babysitters, still you dont know what your getting🥴

Really enjoy listening to Simon Jordan, got a lot of time for Souness and the work he does for the DEBRA charity, but I am surprised Deeney is given the platform and airtime on this podcast. Thinks too highly of himself, tries to sound intelligent, was a decent footballer but there are far better and more engaging people to take up the other seat.

I like Troy don't get me wrong ... but he sounds like a turnip when he talks

Get Deeney some Benadryl or something, sounds a bit blocked up

The truth about the GAS LIGHTING David Moyes, these are not my opinions as they are clear FACTS! 1. When Moyes took over the managers job in 2013 he sacked all of Fergies multiple league & cup winning backroom staff because Moyes wanted complete control of all of the aspects of the club. 12 years later the club have still not recovered from his incompetence 2. Having been SACKED by United in 2014 Moyes moved onto Real Sociedad where he lasted a year with a win rate of 29% before being SACKED AGAIN 3. During Moyes' time at Real Sociedad he did not make any attempts to learn Spanish. Sometime later Moyes got a new rule introduced within the Scottish FA that all new Scottish Managers who were undertaking their required badges had to learn a second language even though HE NEVER DID! 4. In 2016 Moyes joined Sunderland where he got them RELEGATED after achieving an amazingly low 19% win rate. Just like Man Utd, Sunderland have never recovered from it! 5. Moyes agreed to take over the WHU manager job whilst Slaven Bilic was still in charge 2017 (Slimy or what) for Moyes to then go onto having a 29% win rate even though Bilic win rate was 38% 6. In 2018 WHU decided not to extend Moyes 1 year contract so they brought onboard the 10 yes TEN managerial trophy winning Pelegrini as their new manager. The board had a knee jerk reaction in sacking him 18 months later in 2019 when WHU were in the relegation zone even though there was a good chance that he would have secured Prem League safety had he been allowed to carry on. 7. The WHU board decided to bring back David Moyes who previously had a 29% win rate to replace Pelegrini who had a win rate of 38% (the same as Bilic) 8. Moyes steadied the ship over the next 4 seasons whilst "AS HE LIKES TO TELL EVERYONE" that "HE" won them their first cup in 40 years ... and he did ... but look at the FACTS ... as the WHU had given Moyes over £500m worth of talent over the past 4 years. The really amazing fact is that this sum of money was MORE than ALL OF the teams that WHU played in that European competition COMBINED!!! 9. Moyes has an amazingly concerning poor history of hand picking new players himself that cost the club tens of millions of pounds to then play them out of position. When it all goes wrong as it commonly does, Moyes then gives the players the cold shoulder and pushes them out of the door at a major financial loss as he did with Haller, Scamacca, Benrahma, Vlasic & Cornet to name a few 10. WHU has one of the best academies in world football at the moment but Moyes simply will not play these young players even in cup competitions against lesser teams like Bristol City who funny enough beat WHU because our team was simply tied because of the lack of player rotation 11. Considering the £500m that Moyes has wasted over the 4 years, he is leaving the club with the smallest and OLDEST squad in the Prem League. So there you go, just a few FACTS about the useless snake oil salesman David Moyes who for some really weird reason has the football media in his pocket as they constantly patronise the WHU fans with ignorant statements like "Be careful what you wish for" as these clowns don't pay to watch the narcissistic one trick negative pony David Moyes terrible so called football

I wonder if Simon will make a new show called "Two Up Top" where he specifically talks to Owners Or Executives

The Prem year on year has become a faster tempo as each team trying to out press each other. United simply don't have the all the players to do that . Especially our midfield and defence most are ageing and slow .ETH has had to adapt to this style of play and philosophy and simply made some errors. He has tried to get this team of players to press and they cannot.

Who does Troy support? I’m hearing him say ‘we’ when referring to Man U

Been injured this year but will they be so harsh on mason mount next year of he doesn't perform.

For god's sake give the Ten Hag sack routine a rest, I've never known the media to after a manager/coach with so much hatred, it's been non stop for months isn't there anything else in the football world to talk about, ever since Ten Hag arrived you've been on his back, talk about trial by the media, I still want Ten Hag next season with a better structure which Ten Hag hasn't had, and there's plenty of other Utd fans that still want him, I know there's also fans that don't want him but that happens in life, as for Souness he just hates Utd.

shots fired at 7:29

Troy deeney was trash as player. He can never say who is or not world class. The boy had weight problems and anger issues all his career and now all a sudden he can pinpoint what a player should be or not

Why should we not wish for, if everyone did not wish for, we would never move forward. COYI

I swear Man United really are the talk of the town. The media have had these conversations for 10 years straight lmao

excellent

Give egg haaag a 5 year deal

Watch West Ham go out next season all guns blazing, pretty football and get straight in to a relegation battle. I guarantee it.

Everyone says "it's a results business, if the manager doesn't get results he has to go". Moyes got the results but suddenly he has to go because his sides aren't exciting enough to watch. FFS Beam Me Up

Great second show. All 3 are deserving to be on this together.

Obana cost 43mil. Where did soundless pluck 70mil from

Agree with most of the comments on Troy Deeney. Nothing against the lad but its like he takes without saying anything.

Whose to blame for the last 10 years? Gee I wonder. Who would you credit for the last 15 years at City? It’s always owners. It’s the owners job to put the structure for success in. Also - question marks as to whether Garnachos value has increased at United? Really? 😂

To get it right at united the first thing you have to do is understand where you are as a club, the mess you are in, then understand where you want to be and make a plan and bring in the people, managers and players that you need to get you to your desired destination and at the start of that the plan can be it will take ten years, which means you have time to clear the players out that wont help and bring in the right players, 3 or 4 transfer windows, or you could plan for it to take 5 years, in which case clear out need to be a max of two windows as will also be to bring in the players that will get you there, in the 5 years you will take a loss in player valuation, some going on a free, even with a few years remaining on contracts, £80 million players being sold for £15 million, over the ten years you will take a loss in competition money through not being able to challenge or get into champions league, either way the bad running of the club in the past will hurt the club going forwards, so which would you chose the five year plan or ten year? For me it would be the five year plan, enough is enough, tear the plaster off, the pain will be worse but over with quicker and healing can start sooner.

Looking forward to the next episode when they'll spend the whole show talking about Pogba

Troy deeny: I don’t think westham have the players the play that way. We have insane players are defence is shaky but everything else

Funny how Mr Ratcliffe moaned about the 'mess' at United while at the same time his Company is busy pumping loads of crap into the worlds atmosphere. More ethanol discharge and single use plastic? No thanks Jim.

Obsessed with fixing them.

Deeney out

ALI DIA SOUNNESS😂😂

Nobody on this planet can defend TRASHFORD, NO way. The guy is a over hyped primadonna, who's achieving nothing

Danny Murphy would be a massive upgrade on Troy Deeney.

Fans behind the manager now back off at him since day arrived in the door

next time Simon, I cut your hair, for free.😂

Rashford is just like sterling. both are talented but certainly not world class and inconsistent.

Deeney IN

Talksport light

Just a bit smug for me. Bezzies having banter. Thankfully Deeney got a few words in. As for the content....nothing that hasn't been said a million times over the last few months.

The number of mislaid facts and stats in the first 7 minutes is concerning.

Scorchio 🙂

Disrespect on casimiro. Nobody can have a bad run in any line of sport now, all the good things you done is soon forgotten

There’s something way Deeney breathes 😂

Any talk of the injury crisis 60+ injuries? still able to make it to the fa cup final? no ok thought so

Man U fans need to be careful what they wish for. He won them a cup had a top four finish last year and is in 8th place right now. What more do they want?

Pep didn't win the European cup with Bayan

Troy has a severe desire to help Rashy for some reason. Rashford does not have a time out the team and come back in and prove people wrong. I would also ask Troy to invest in some kind of cold or flue remedy, or get halls soothers! Great work otherwise 👏👏

Get rid of Troy and have a guest 'pundit' each week, keeps it fresh as we all know what Simon & Graham will say about anything to do with football at this stage as much as I like both of em...

Love this, straight to the point talking ,no snowflakes allowed . Long may it continue

Casemiro is twice the player Souness ever was.
