Why is he gone on to set pieces what’s happened before what’s the data now the reason why he wanted us to do it on Monday Night Football was cuz he’s still got a be in his Bonny about harri Kane taking Corners so Roy text me at an England game giving

Us something at half time on bellham and I said it and they were like your Tactical knowledge is so good and and I was I was and I was going to see I didn’t I just you took the credit lusan have never won the league before yeah I

Actually like the idea of Jill keeping a spot and leaving that free yeah putting the the Golden Boot there or something have you got one of righty hats I’m feeling old today you feeling yeah you feeling I’m feeling my you know what I felt so tired I don’t feel too bad today

Someone’s tired you out over the last couple of weeks someone’s been honor him to do a documentary yeah honestly I know I know when to pull back I know when to oh lad there’s too many documentaries out there isn’t there do I think everyone’s got one that honestly everyone’s got a

Podcast why lipo players that were in that spice boys team not on a spice boys documentary no seriously CU that be I think so yeah cuz they’re quite a talented group I don’t I’m not taking a piss there one on the white suits who who is in that group who who

To do them a disservice either yeah I know what you mean you know I mean it’s like the tunnel at I hybrid I I’ve heard 40 different versions of how I was pinned up against the wall but I was never pinned up against the wall you

Know what I mean and the thing that made you s who said who said you were pinned up against different people over the years it’s morphed into something sort of like you know what I mean I was like f for my life you know what I mean I was

On intervenous drip at one point I think and it was where basically you walk past him and if you remember he you and he squirted his water bot his I see I don’t remember that yeah he did cuz I was next to him obviously he waited for that

Didn’t annoy me I CU I don’t remember I thought what you snapped at no yeah yeah had Lucas the stories of football isn’t over the years I know yourself don’t oh the best ones is when a fan tells you the story and you were there and you thinking that didn’t

Happen yeah exactly and Roy I the fans come up to me tell stop like that’s not true I I was I was listening to Rio on that same re last night talking about your end at United and there bits in there that I thought that wasn’t right

Or that didn’t you know what I mean everyone remembers a different of course yeah yeah oh listen my memory is not the best but there are certain things you obviously sharp yeah your top NE you got you do you know something do you bought me this Karen from sford as a birthday

It wasn’t really like summer I feel like summer time would be good like be too hard do you think do you drink a lot Jill no no I do like a glass of red wine now that I finished playing I was a bit of a geek when I played I didn’t really

Drink too much I wasn’t good enough you the got Neville well I just wasn’t good enough like I couldn’t get away with it exactly yeah that was me yeah all I could do really was run so if I’d had a drink whereas your technical players

How it is you’re blocking me Jill I wanted to still keep you there and sort of put a like a little momento we wanted a little momentum on righty’s chairs oh you could have I prefer being here though I I’m more involved do you yeah

You swap your chairs if you want I can sit there if you perform well today got share you’re on TR today J yeah you keep your place right but these are big bananas the size of that F see bigger should we [Laughter] Start welcome to stick to football brought to you by Sky Bet and this week joining me are Jill Roy and Cara and we’re going to be talking about Dan Ashworth potentially joining Manchester United from Newcastle and has the Champions League become boring and also

Is Roy going to get closer to me on the Super Six predictions last night I was watching the Champions League you’ve been down in London uh covering the Champions League over the last couple of days I feel really bad saying this because it feels like it’s a but has it

Been boring this week the champions league has it just because the games or the draw yeah I think we had a stage now where I used to always feel like that the Champions League kicked in at The Knockout stage it almost feels like it kicks in at the quart the final stage

Now you very rarely get like a really big juicy game I feel sort of in the the last 16 round the teams who win the group normally win them comfortably and more often not the team who finish second in in another group who they get there’s always like you’d almost feel

Like you can predict who the quarters are going to be feels like there’s a big shift between the sort of teams but the W they were a bit dull and and I go back to it I I I think we spoke about this last week I think the away go not being

In honestly I I I think it takes a bit of the excitement away from it I do I think there was the way goal just just made it just could just blow up by one goal and now it just feels a bit I don’t know listen I think it’s

Still for me the best competition out there the champions league but it almost feels you’ve got to get to the quarterfinals you get those heavyweight clashes but next season it’s completely changing is I think that’s probably one of the reasons why because it’s felt a

Little bit D maybe the last few years uh and then you’re going to that Swiss model isn’t it you you’re aware of what what that is there going to be more teams isn’t there yeah so I think there’s so is the is the 32 teams in the group I’ve got that

Right so I think there’s an extra four teams so it’s 36 and it’s like a league so imagine you break that down to who’s got a Matt here so what would that be eight teams to 12 or 10 or whatever it must be so there’s they say four groups

If you like tiers so they they’re the top tiers and you’ve got the bottom ones so whatever groups will say Manchester City at the top they’ll play someone in who else is in their like a seed so they might play like have Real Madrid in the group then they’ll play two from the

Next group then two and they’ll play two teams at the bottom but what it also does is the teams at the bottom normally they might get one point in the group yeah so they’re actually playing a game against someone at their level MH do you

Know what I mean so right so I I I think it’s quite exciting for the champions league but what happens then it becomes like a league you don’t play home and away as well which is a bit weird so the team like so I think City if City got

Real Madrid they might be away at Madrid but the home somewhere else or whatever but then all the points go as a league and then the top eight I think go straight through to the the next round and then the middle what would be left there come on help me middle middle so

The bottom teams are out if the bottom say eight or 10 or what and then the ones in the middle they’ve got to play do like a playoff all right okay to then go through and I I actually think so you’ll probably get better games in there some poor teams in the Champions

League now is even the group games well I used to always I I think when the Champions League first started the way I look at it was you were involved in it you know you probably rest and players in the Premier League a little bit think we got Champions League midweek I think

It’s the other way now I actually think you see the best teams go we’ll be fine you know we got a big game at the weekend you know you know in the Premier League as well so that’s and and that’s where I think he probably looked at it

And you get probably going to get bigger head-to heads in the so there’s quite a lot of emphasis on the draw them because if you don’t play them home and away that is a big Advantage isn’t it like say but I think there’ll be a way yeah

Yeah but I think there’ll be some they won’t just make it that year the top team so could it be five teams from the Premier League this year that are in I think United got a chance they’ve got a chance yeah no D so the better cities in

The Champions League the more chance United they’ve got to get the fif position oh yeah did you watch the games did you feel it was a little bit I didn’t watch too much of them I’ll be honest with you and I love watching the games but a couple of teams games just

Didn’t grab me attention maybe the second leg but when it’s the first leg as well you think you know what I’ll probably wait till the second leg no I didn’t get sucked into the games no but also I keep going back to the away go if

You’re in a away team now there’s no big thing about we’ve got a Nick in away go that was a big thing wasn’t you playing thing we’ve got to get the way go got to get it now it’s like if you get beat one nil it’s it’s not oh you know the game’s

N nil so if you went away and Drew nil nil you’d actually think it was at padri Jules yeah think oh they they could they get away go it’s just like yeah I honestly I think it was a massive mistake there Bayern will turn around that result though do you think there’s

Big problems there at the moment why is the big problems well the results that to happen uh it listen it hasn’t gone particularly well I don’t think for Thomas T since he’s gone in he was brilliant Chelsea won the Champions League but last season they won the

League basically the last Ki the game and it’s an exciting way for the league and must to be great for the Bundesliga as such but Munich are just so used to dominating the League this season the Five Points behind at the start of the season they lost their charity Shield if

You like or their super cup to to leig they went out to the German cup to a lower division team they’re now going to be tough for them in the Bundesliga who knows with the Champions League so you’re looking at actually not just two you look how Kan you’d almost feel like

You leave Tottenham to be almost guaranteed you’ve got the league one probably the German cup maybe yeah and it’s just about can you win the champions league and then he’s leaved it and at this moment it’s looking like he’s not going to get his hands on it anything which is unbelievable when you

Go to Munich it’s almost like a they got well beaten the weekend as well in the league didn’t they oh got bed yeah five points now yeah off your new manager champion in that a little bit aren’t you well it’s just the obvious one isn’t it I mean I don’t see

Well it could the only reason I don’t think it could be Alon is if he doesn’t want to come or if he thinks I needs another year at Leverkusen or but if he didn’t win the league in Germany would you have a doubt would you have a little

If they won the league you’re thinking that’s another a big Plus on a CV but you say they slipped up cuz barn and mor C coming back a bit like last year and he slipped up when he didn’t win the league would that change your mindset

Towards him no listen of course if you win the league and I think I said this on Monday Night Football I think the the great managers even if you start with s fuson it’s it’s not great because of what he did at man united it’s almost

Like what he did at AB you go wow Mourinho a Porto klopp at Dortmund all the sort of know pep Stars at the BARC but a lot of the great you know I had we had Rafa he comes to Liverpool wins the champions league but he wins the league

Of Valencia you know so they always have to do something a little bit you know out there that most people can’t do and I I think we’re in the league leverkus have never won the league before yeah I think to win to be the first guy to win

The league there against Munich is pretty special and and as I said I don’t even think it’s just the Liverpool link I think if like there was a coach at Byer Leverkusen doing that and the United job was off for grabs or Liverpool or Arsenal that guy whoever he

Was I think would be be in the Reckoning If he if he’d done that yeah do you think that’s a biggest thing of Judge manager on not necessarily when they get that top job but how they get there like winning the league with Sunderland like something like that yeah that would well

Again especially if you’re up against teams like Bayern Munich yeah yeah of course huge Plus getting over the line I think I think this there probably two different jobs isn’t it you see people do do well under the radar then they get the big job and then people got you know

He’s got big players you got to play a certain style and that’s why I always feel like the criticism of the only one criticism of Pep is that oh he hasn’t done it with like a lesser te but how many managers have had the resources and being at a massive club and completely

Fail because you know getting that respect of a dressing room those big players you know so I I never have that criticism when he picked when he picked up Barcelona obviously they hadn’t won the Champions League the year before that and I don’t think they won the

League the year before I might be wrong but there was something like they weren’t doing incredibly well so what he did there was Transformer on Tuesday night and it’s it’s it’s actually a post and to be fair I wouldn’t sort of ordinarily look at a post on social media and think it resonates but it was I felt it a little bit I didn’t switch City on on Tuesday

Night I’ll come to you Jill first on it I I just thought a bit like I just I felt a bit bored and I saw a post you may have seen it from a Liverpool fan that said he watched every single one of Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United

Games in the Champions League because it was that feeling that one there was either going to be excitement one way or the other lose or they’d win and the game would be exciting yeah but he just can’t watch City and that he felt it was just like it’s almost like they’ve

Ruined it a little bit it’s a bit boring now to be fair it’s a bit I wanted to open that you know bit of a horn its nest I know see the headline now can’t you no because I think to call City boring is to be fair would be wrong

Because to be football the plays out and I actually think the last I actually thought they were boy I found it difficult to watch them but when since Highland’s gone they’re a bit more imperfect I actually like them a lot more with with the four big Defenders

And and Highland up front but is there a bit of a of that now with them is is it a bit of a boredom thing with City yeah because they’re so brilliant though isn’t it know it is I I get where you’re coming from and uh but I I I certainly wouldn’t

Agree when when fans said that about City and they’re very technical and the stats here T night are unbelievable in terms of away from home I know not Copenhagen wouldn’t be that great don’t get me wrong even though they beat United didn’t they but yeah but I I I

Kind of admire that stuff I admire when a team can dominate so much whether it be possession the players their style I I like their style of play but I get it with do you like the style yeah I can I I get I I like it because of the

Brilliance with it yeah listen we we watch a lot of teams who try and kind of do all that stuff and possession and they get nowhere far but they’re topping it off as well with winning and scoring goals and no I I no I I’d give City the

Thumbs up honestly which is hard obviously been that United but I get the argum where people say even Liverpool the last few years Liverpool a bit more emotional a bit Get It Forward quicker but because they’re so Technical and brilliant I admire that it’s just such like an efficient model isn’t it it’s

Like getting in a car and it works every single time it’s like why does something have to go wrong to them make it exciting and everything else and I’m exactly the same like you can see the patterns exactly what they’re trying to do and it only ever breaks down because

Of like a technical action gone wrong or something so to call City boring I I definitely wouldn’t agree with that even as the gamees go on and it’s like it’s 1-1 or it’s nil nil you seen Holland obviously scored from border I’ll change it from boring to have they have they become a

Little bit unwatchable in the sense like you say the jeopard is not there people just think it’s going to be inevitable it’s just they’re that good and I actually think you know you think about the mon Roy just mentioned with the ball and and stuff I just think they’re that

Good defensively as well it’s like you never feel like say they’re at home to someone in the bottom half the table and I’m thinking I hope they lose or they drop points but you thinking you start thinking about the game you the playing you’re thinking how do the team going to

Get a corner yeah how do they te going to get honestly think how in the half you know they played Everton last week didn’t they and do do I looked at Everton played not just Everton lots of and they look like they’re they’re a lower league team who’ve gone there in a

Cup match and they’re just hanging in there for the whole game yeah you’re going you’re in the same league is on yeah yeah it’s almost well let everon had the lowest touches anyone have ever had I think or this season in the penal not like shots touches in The Penalty

Box now that’s not how going to go whereever and that’s just how good they are and that’s when I go back to sa United was watching your teams hoping you get beat but there always that thing of like you go one or two down and they’re coming back in the games a bit

And you’re on Ed yourself hoping you lose they could win with city they’re just that good in every aspect of the game and and to be honest I don’t think it’s like a city thing and a money thing and they got all the best players I

Think it’s pep I just think pep is that good the detail as well like everyone talks about in possession and I’m not saying any other teams aren’t set up like this because of course you are but there’s so much detail when they’re in possession of how they’re going to be if

They’re suddenly out of possession and I think that’s why they’re so good defensively you’ve got so many players thinking I’m not going to go because I know I’ve got stop the counter and it just all works so efficient and I think like when I was there I was obsessed

With the detail I was obsessed I wanted to sit in more meetings and because it just opens you up to this whole kind of like new way of football but yeah I’ve got I think Phil foren at the minute as well like and to see him have came

Through from like the younger age groups he’s just he’s he one of the best players this season I think I know we were talking about player of the Season w we on a couple of shows previously he sets fire alarms [Laughter] off We R about meetings and but when we

Were you know we we people don’t believe us we never had meetings did we never really discussed tactics did you know did we I didn’t think we were to be fair I think because we were so familiar with each other maybe those patterns of play that existed but I don’t think we might

He might say certain games you know play a bit deeper against them or something or maybe you know but I don’t think there was any there was never sort of any like sort of no there weren’t many like sort of nuances with of what we

Were doing there was a lot of it was off the cuff stuff yeah obviously good players and do you think the gamees developed though to that or not with basic principles like one one one one uh one fullback goal one stay one Midfield player goal one make sure you’re sitting

You know it was that type one one forward on the last line one forward dropping in the hole it was it was them principles wasn’t it really there wasn’t really a sort of a we have to City for as well so they’re playing Everton who going to city and then they end up

Getting the first goal whatever from a set piece we saw him at the cup recently they’re also really good at set pieces so sometimes you might call A Team a really good possession but I tell you what we can get on them it’s they’re really strong on that side of as well

And that desire to defend and I love the fact when they when they win every week it looks like it’s Pep’s first League win yeah because the first thing what happens when you get successful in life people they drop their guard they lose the eye the Tiger but I don’t see it

With pep considering what he’s won it’s interesting to say about set pieces cuz I was doing the Crystal Palace Chelsea game on Monday night and it came up like the four five worst teams in the league for set pieces for scoring and they were all the teams at the bottom the

Perception was when I felt like we were playing that the teams at the bottom say wimbledon’s Crystal Palace he Stokes they would be the teams that be the best at set pieces and we were the worst and we’d have to obviously stop well obviously they getting more opportunities to get more corers that’s

How it felt did you not with you like the best teams weren’t good at set pieces but they but now the best teams are the best at set pieces when you’re not one of the best teams it’s like we got to rely on our set Paces get goal

Off a set they were spend an hour on the training ground day before but I but I think City are that good I’d be interesting how many teams are even getting Corners against them they’re not even getting that many corners I know you can get wide free kicks but they’re

Not even getting that opportunity to say well going to be really good at set pie well you can be really good on but if you’re not getting any high up the pitch yeah then there going to be no danger to City it is difficult to see who’s going

To stop I feel like they’ve got I I think they’re likely going to win the league but I feel like they’ve got more chance of being sto stopped in the league than they have in the Champions League for some reason this week having watched you know I may all seen a few

Team I don’t think there’s anyone closer than the CH I actually think the team who could maybe have a chance against Arsenal because when you look at it because Arsenal haven’t won anything big yet this team was still thinking how how good are they can they get across the

Line in a big one but then you go and watch the champions league and I’m watching like Bayern Munich a Hu massive team Arsenal better team AR be Bayern Munich I think Arsenal be Paris sgain so I’m actually looking at the Champions League thinking you could actually stop City and I’m thinking

Probably Arsenal but even if that if they met each other we know City be massive favorites yeah but I actually think Arsenal I’m trying to think is there one more team in there who maybe forgot Inter Milan this top of City I got the final last season

But no there’s not to you just always think sometimes I think that you can’t deny history sometimes in Real Madrid or yeah something like that comes so if like an Arsenal played a real Madrid to be fair out of top side still got a decent team team now psychologically if

The Champions League that could stop Arsenal because they haven’t been there we spoke about sort of Liverpool in the past zo well the Champions because they just they just feel like they belong there but Arsenal I think Arsenal got a decent chance that was a big win wasn’t

It the West Ham one that was a c they got a couple of set pieces didn’t there Yeah Dean rice taking set pieces did you cover that on mondayed football in the end no no he didn’t we’ve done Arsenal the week before and he was cuz he doesn’t he doesn’t he’s he’s he’s took yourself a little bit away from it haven’t you but you still want you still

Want your input done so he starts texting saying you need to do this you need does he text I very rarely text right but but I was doing the United Villa game on Sunday and first I was watching the Arsenal um West Ham game and one of the

The stat stats guy I was obviously Dean rice is taking set pieces I said to the stats guy was an Arsenal fan I said when did he start taking set pieces and he said four games ago he took I think he scored scored a corner against Crystal

Palace four games ago where he started taking it was Trad and Martinelli before then and then he scored obviously they scored two on Sunday from his set pieces and I was interested in the sort of idea behind he’s obviously just gone to set seen a six foot2 6 foot three player on

Set pieces yeah um obviously it’s you wouldn’t ordinarily think it would happen so I was thinking why is he gone on set pieces what’s happened before what’s the data now but the reason why he wanted us to do it on Monday Night Football was cuz he’s still got a be iners

Bonny about Harry Kane taking Corners so so this was the the setpiece D for Roy hodin England and Harry Kane England’s Great goal scorer was on corners and he always used to come back in and say he’s the best kicker of a ball so that’s what you get into AR F

Against rice tick what what’s the big no no I’m not against I’m just saying it I’d not seen him take them he’s not expect because he’s big so you know Wayne Ro used to take them for United even though he’s a good head of the ball and goal scorer because

He was a good of the ball but does he Dean rice take free kicks and Corners in the last few weeks it’s it’s new it’s brand new for Arsenal it’s only happened in the last few weeks with the new I just thought might be you mentioned one

Or two other players you’ve been taking sometimes if they’re not playing he’s definitely got a good technique hasn’t he yeah yeah and with them old Predator boots coming back it was very divid Beckham like it was I thought he had a very so was it your was was was it your

Decision or Royals with ar Kane and why we had this we had this big problem because oh was it you who put on them yes he put England on that was absolutely the problem wasn’t attacking set pieces was defending them so what happened was basically we had a team and

I’m trying I’m trying to think of the exact team that we had we had Daniel Sturridge um it was other Rooney or Kane that took him right and we basically looked at the stats and Rooney had scored more from corners on headers than than Kane they were the only two that

Could essentially deliver a set piece all the other players you at Raheem Sterling Danny Welbeck um Daniel Sturridge uh Midfield were I think Henderson and um was Wilshire in that Squad Wilshire Deli Alli none of them are set peacers the back forward was Kyle Walker never taken

Set Pie’s life two Center halfs never taken set peace in the live you not think about this when you picking the squad no we had we had a couple of set peace takers because I think James Milner was probably on like on the bench type thing and he was a good set peace

Taker but what I’m saying you want take a corner so if you remember Gareth in the next tournament in 2018 I always say this and to be fair there’s a big difference between 16 and 18 with set pieces if you look at you Gareth had scored from I think two or three set

Pieces Tripp trippo was in the squad I think a couple of others came in the squad and the big difference they scored I think quite a few goals from set pieces or from free kicks and we just didn’t have anybody took corners or three kicks it was either run it or Kane

Yeah and in the end Kane was on them but in the end he came off them after about one and a half games and wza went on them and we didn’t score that um I think in the end it just became so uh what’s the word I think it became hostile cuz

When when Harry used to go over to the corner to take a free Kick the England fans were like oh what are you doing get in the middle type thing which was you know I was pray press to the and to be fair I remember Wasa come in and just

Said look to be fair there’s no point it it’s me or him we just I’ll go and take him in the end and he ended up swapping with him but it became a big thing but it wouldn’t have become a big thing obviously if you win games it becomes a

Big thing when you don’t win games yeah I mean dean rice yeah but delivery is so important oh it’s massive it’s everything you don’t get dely talk about movement you can move all you want if the deliver is not good yeah yeah right the only thing I remember Sir Alex

Ferguson saying about attacking set pieces and he say basically the delivery will be good because it was let’s say Beck as an example he said make sure you basically get across your man and you sprit that was it good delivery and get across your man and we used to score

Quite a lot of goals from set pieces I mean you scored obviously one in cheing famously and other goals as well but we scored Lots from set pieces you think of Steve Bruce the reason United won a league against Sheffield Wednesday back in 90 three two two set pieces yeah yeah

Yeah so you think the deliver is good and then the sort of the Run was a set was win goal a set piece set piece yeah so the set piece is Win Champions League finals they win leag it’s mad though now cuz if you get the ball in that part of

The pitch they usually like play don’t they like they would never think about just whacking the you know how like used did at United like putting crosses in it doesn’t really happen so much now does it in open Play It’s like Wingers on the inside like little intricate play but it

Is so important when we won the league with City about God about seven years ago and I think the majority of our goals were offset pieces I think our Center off was top goal scorer but it is such a difference going back to when you text giv him some on Monday Night

Football I remember youex me no Roy text me at an England game giving us something at half time on Bellum and I said it and they were like your Tactical knowledge is so good I was going to say it I was going to say it at your call I was going to

Say oh Roy Tex is bad didn’t you took the I said I good M Night on his Runners that was very I’m sure you would have got there any no it was good it was really good it was good Monday Night Football is a show about little little

Sort of nuggets of detail and little bits of analysis and I just thought look he’s you know three goals from Team yeah team yeah so anyway you put Trent on England set pieces you put them all rice wouldn’t you what you take them for England py uh

Who England got that can take set pieces obviously if if Trent played they’ve got Trent Shaw takes them sometimes don’t they with his left foot trippier if he plays obviously are [Laughter] Kan we didn’t have anybody who could actually ball into the middle anyway right what about defending

Set pieces was it was it the Iceland game was that the that a long TRW was that is it way doing it were you coach for that as well no I I wasn’t on defensive he was on set pieces then no I wasn’t on defensive set pieces to be

Fair um that we we did a lot of work on the Iceland throwing should I say that’s so frustrating as a CO isn’t it no but you know it g to show you can do stuff all week it’s come to Crunch as when lad who want to head it and who do

Their jobs properly believe it or not we just I it may be an impact and I don’t know I mean sometimes it sounds a little bit like a sort of thing a commentator would say but you know you switch off when you just scored a goal we just

Scored a goal haven’t we yeah and then literally got a throw in and but you know that you know that stats not true you’re that’s not true that it sounds like a commentator’s line mean but that stat itself yeah the wor can we have that stat please what is

What is the actual static on goal so true but you never believe anything I tell you what the stat what’s the when people say you’re at your most vulnerable you’ve just scored that’s that’s that’s that’s not true yeah well jez you have to check with anybody tell you Jesus I was looking for

Some numbers around it and some sort of like statistics and stuff but anyway let’s move on it looks like Dan Ashworth has been approached or has told Newcastle that he’s uh wants to leave and join Manchester United just talking about it from a before we go to Manchester United

From newcastle’s perspective is is that kicking the teeth for them in terms of sort of the scale of what they’re trying to achieve up there and obviously he’s the pillar really behind the sort of football I’ve I’ve honestly when Newcastle came in and people were talking about obviously the investment

Was huge and stuff like that I was never from a Liverpool point of view thinking oh this is sort of like the new team in town this is going to be another city or the Chelsea because I think it’s more difficult Now isn’t it with the you know

The ffp stuff uh and and I do think Newcastle had such a great season last season but they have almost it in a little bit where you’re like oh how would you make that next jump and people will look at some of the players that they’ve gotten Dan Ashwi maybe even

Eddie Howard some say you know if G sou gate leaves in the summit you’d imagine the fa go for Eddie how wouldn’t you that I would imagine uh and yeah I I think that’s a big blow for them yeah and and I always feel like no no matter

You know Newcastle huge football club but they’re never going to be man united yeah you know so if man united come for one of the players come for a manager come for a sporting director he’s going to go and I think it’s a great appointment he’s done well at Newcastle

Hasn’t he he’s brought in some good players and I think his like main thing is that high performing like culture so man united would benefit from that massive but he has done a good job wherever he’s been hasn’t he really Newcastle a great reputation hasn’t he

Yeah but I don’t think a club eater should be so dependent you know he said what will happen to Newcastle you like to think Newcastle can yeah survive with Bri listen he left Brighton that’s that’s the nature of the beast but from a United’s point of view we we’ve been

Speaking the last six months what changes can they make and you say get the best people and he looks like he knows what he’s doing so it’s no surprised you have gone in for him I read something on I I read a newspaper article on him today and something i’

Never really heard in football before you probably you’ll know a bit more when you’ve got your Scouts so he’s obviously in charge of the recruitment he’s got a Scouts this was a Brighton and they were all over the world so nor say oh we’ve got a guy

In Portugal we got a guy in Spain they he he changed that from not just having a guy in a country a scout was responsible for position around the world so so do you understand what I mean so it’s like you you just look at all the center backs you just look at

All the Wingers you look at all the strikers H and I just thought I thought I’ve never heard that before uh and they they thought that was a big part of what happened to Bright new or Brighton I think it I think it was more Brighton but I just thought it was interesting

Because you know you he that don’t you we’ve got a scout in Spain and he covers up you know all the players in Spain but it was about basically someone had a job for center backs goalkeepers and just doing it differently I thought it was quite interest Scout Network that that

That Scouts role years ago when you talking about back in our day you’d have a scope probably one in the Northwest one in the nor one in Scotland whatever but no the the range of scope we’ve seen it obviously the way the game’s open up the money available now so there’s no

Surprise what you’re telling me there Jamie yeah the way and the way Brighton have done it they must look at that and they look at newcastle’s Recruitment and we go back recruitment is key recruitment is key and what man united have got whatever they’ve done badly over the last few years I think

Recruitment’s probably number one where have got it wrong people talk about Liverpool’s Recruitment and you think of sort of Michael Edwards is always you know Fame for what he he he did alongside obiously klopp and people at the club so I went to see him once cuz I

Thought I wanted to get a little bit more information it wasn’t for me to do you know come out and speak but obviously this is years later and I’m expecting some real like real big insight about how many Scouts they’ve got how they watch them how they see

Different things and he just said he said the biggest thing for us about getting the the players that we want he said these relationships were agents and I just thought I was expecting more than that but he was a bit like a it’s it’s massive basically you you see that

Agents fees don’t you at the end of every I’m not saying it’s just about the money but he was saying about like having a good relationship with their agents I can see that though I mean the trust that I think an agent will agents have got a bad reputation but they won’t

Do someone over that they work well with in trust because they won’t get the next gig and I think it makes sense don’t it and if you did Liverpool over on a signing you would never get a gig again it spread quite quickly yeah um United have been because they haven’t had a

Sporting director in the last 10 years they’ve been played they’ve been so naive at that level I imagine in terms of dealing with agents the agents have just it was almost like the Bingo call was it in terms of so if United rang you or if you rang you were almost thinking

You were going to get another 20 30 40 million straight away because they’re just so naive and didn’t have that relationship um but Dan Ashworth I think obviously did a good job at West West Brom but I was there with England when he was appointed and been there probably a year

Or two before he came in there was there was a big change when he came in and it was quite a jolt at the time because obviously when you sort of haven’t got a technical director like Dan Ashworth but then you have and obviously had a good

Relationship with Roy it he brought Dave readen in who was a performance director as well do you remember Dave read yeah yeah and it was quite a jolt for Roy at the time because they were talking about things like sort of kicking coaches sort of like attacking coaches they were

Talking about attacking set Peach coach almost breaking the game down into it sort of what would be real intimate detail where Roy had worked for 30 40 years in very much a sort of way with coaches on the field with the players working sort of the assistant coaches

And I remember Dan having a conversation with him at the time and I felt it felt to me like obviously Roy was in in the role but they were building all these foundations below and they started with the 21s the 18s I the women’s team yeah

And you think of the success with the 20s the 21s the women’s team that’s happened in the last sort of what would be seven or eight 10 years it all started really from when Dan came now I’m not saying that he was responsible for what happened in the women’s game

Happened saying responsible for what happened in the 21s but he had a big influence within the fa of professionalizing it the fa was a terrible organization from a professionalism point of view and I felt what he did he put He put processes in place and like they’re very structured

And organized yeah and he did a really good job I felt and when obviously then um Gareth came in he almost had like someone that was in his mold yeah that was actually to be fair there’s a thread there between Dave reading so when all the detail came in 2018 with the set

Pieces where they all did the sort of you could tell they’ve been working on it for hours and hours and hours you you’ve been in this coach so you’ll understand this you you meet up in September you do your 10 days then you tend to to be fair not see the players

Then for another month you tend to not go on the training pitch for another month Dave reading wanted things like he wanted them to bring in dummy players to do mock sessions in between for the coaching staff you for the coaching staff so that they worked on stuff so

That when they actually got them in is that including a manager right H yeah yeah he wanted stuff like that to come and he wanted stuff like um extra sessions you know cuz the players come tired don’t they they don’t want to do two three three sessions a day but there

Were at the time there were countries that were doing two or three sessions a day they wanted extra video they wanted so much more cramming into the sort of what was Roy okay with all that no no Roy wasn’t okay with it and I wasn’t

Okay with it at the time but there was an element of them wanting to really extract every last sort of drop of juice out of the orange in that period and be it would be it felt like they were trying to take it to more like a performance like cycling is or like

Swimming is or like athletic and I thought I thought us as the women’s team was getting extra sessions jok but seriously we he wanted all these things to be introduced and I think they had to wait maybe a year or two for it to happen but eventually I

Think they got what they wanted with Steve Cooper with Roy you with um with G there was talented players about coming through yeah of course there was a bit talent but but in the World Cup in 18 I know they got a good draws but actually

They set pieces oh yeah and get to the semi-final no one expected them to get to the semi-final in that tournament so there was an element there of I think the what you’re right there were some talented players coming through but there gives you huge help

You can put all that structure in place fantastic but if you’ve got The Talented players coming through yeah amazing but if the players not coming through all that stuff is so are you expecting a huge shift in the performance of Manchester United then basically the appointment of the guy

From Manchester City yeah but I couldn’t believe Dan I couldn’t believe Dan when he left the Fa went to Brighton I was like that doesn’t seem like a step up then we see what he did with Brighton and then obviously Newcastle is a step up and what he’s done there in terms of

Managing expectations I’m saying that he’s going to go into Manchester United and be successful but if you’ve got the guy in from city which obviously they have now you brought Dan Ash within at least you’ve got people in roles that belong in the last 10 years there haven’t been

People in roles that belong so there’s a start of something look there’s disruption there’s interference with with the the mediocrity that we’ve seen in the last 10 years already if he comes in I do think there’s a chance that you know you’ve got that sort of performance mentality that Excellence mental M ality

That they do have that could run through the club quite quickly look it’s a big job you think a lot of this is obviously we talk about Jim rackliffe coming in but do you think a lot of this is brailsford oh I’ve no doubt no Jim rackliff is obviously trusting in Dave

Brailsford to say look you know basically we need the best CEO the best sporting director the best head of Recruitment and the best coach you know the two that have got yet to be sorted the head of Recruitment and Coach but they’re doing it one by one obviously

Aren’t they um you know if Dan comes he’ll he’ll want I suspect Authority at the club to be able to make decisions how long this how long was he at Brighton for I think two or three years four years I don’t so no sometimes you’ve go your you’ve got big plans

Three years I think he was there how long was he at Newcastle for I think two years now he’s not been there long well yeah obviously we about a guy coming and getting the the best for the job he doesn’t hang on does he obviously I’m

Not sure loyalty is the top of his no but my point is but right you you wouldn’t argue him going from Newcastle to man united of course yeah but when he left Brighton to Newcastle Newcastle at the time big plans were doing this yeah and all of a sudden Newcastle maybe are

You know obviously that was going to slow down eventually a bit of success they had over the last what 12 18 months and he’s now jumping into man united you know you have to look at all that side of a personality as well no doubt he’s

He’s brilliant at his job but who’s to say in a year and a half then he might want to go to Real Madrid or Barcelona yeah I mean look I think if he if he’s going to Real Madrid or Barcelona in a year or two he’s done

Very well at Manchester United in the year two they switch I mean the big thing coming up for United and to be fair it’s almost like the Ferguson soex Ferguson Factor leaving um United 10 years ago an element of Jurgen klopp leaving and maybe pep I can’t believe

Pep’s going to hang around for more than 12 months or so now I can’t believe that he is is going to be there for another two three four years that they’ve got to be there said Pep’s going to leave about I know a year or two ago I know but I

Can’t believe he’s going to be there for more than 18 months I just can’t if he is obviously great for City but if he’s not he has got to make sure Manchester United are in that spot that if klopp does leave and they have a bit of

Turbulance at the pool if pep does that is’s ready to jump he’s got to be I think that would be for me the opportunity for United I mean they’re way away from it at the moment yeah they’re way away from it you watch him on Sunday at Villa they’re still playing

Poorly and winning games I mean they they played poorly on Sunday and that’s get you know we’re talking about man united trying to get into fifth spot really fourth fifth yeah yeah you forget obviously City Liverpool and arsenal were there and that’s where United are

So it’s it’s a big leap to the next level competing Mid City I was thinking about actually when I saw the news this morning about Dan Ashworth and I was thinking about Eric tenh har I actually think it helps Eric tenard that Dan as’s coming in one he’s not someone who will make a a sort of like a

Knee-jerk decision when he comes in I think he’s quite measured I think you’ll see sort of Eric tag staying another year while he has a look at the club and builds everything underneath I think that would be because that’s what I think at England I think he was quite

Measured around how he did things and sort of took his time and I think if a manager coach cuz obviously there still this we still have in head May going back to when we play directors of football and we’d be B directors of football it’s all about the manager and

The and the players but if you’ve got your head run a director of football coming in you’re on about Roy huton but if you see someone coming in and you believe they’re there to help you then it’s great I think it’s when there’s that yeah you know you about Roy hudon

People are setting their ways and a guy’s telling You’ got to do more sessions he’s think you’re telling me to do more I can see why they can be Hang-Ups with an experienced manager but maybe these for on coaches or D hag we look at United and he’s thinking listen

We’re going to take that power of recruitment away he might go actually I’m delighted you’re doing that yeah yeah yeah let you focus on it and let me focus on trying to get man united back to competing to winning titles so if your head is in a good space and you’re

Thinking Dan is here to help me and get the people around me then it’s fantastic it’s when you think some reason did you did you work with the sporting director at sundland DPS which I just was it n at sundland was it no was the chairman yeah so but he was like

Almost your yeah but it was always even chat even when I was there yeah you Wen chatting about people coming into the club but it was I don’t was not director of football but I I think I would have been pretty open to that as long as you

Feel it’s the right person and they’re coming in to help you and it’s less work for you isn’t it cuz Frank said that he said that he had to do everything didn’t he and like you just want to focus on what you got to do if you believe in the

Person’s coming in if you yeah listen we’re all on the same page yeah but listen there’s been plenty of stories where managers will say director fo came in and he was just a hindrance he wanted them out or straight away and you just get that Vibe but again I go back to it

But someone comes in you think I’m going to help you with the scout was the one at switch no there was not one at switch either so there wasn’t one in yeah no who is the director of football at Liverpool now they haven’t really got one so basically who’s picking the new manager

For Liverpool Football Club that will be uh Billy Hogan is like the CEO if you like when you talk about director of football I always automatically think of that as the guy who’s involved in the transfers Liverpool haven’t really got one they’ve got a guy a German guy who’s

Leaving now he’s probably just left at the end of the transfer window uh they’ve been through two or three really in the last 18 months right and as I said on but why two or three J like that you know someone go to Liverpool you’re not going to Power Club there I don’t

Think what the point SP out to a CL there I think he’s just going to run the shop in it yeah I would imagine for two or three to go two or three is a the one who’d been there a while s of left the

One who was as number two then was there 12 months now I don’t know exactly what went on but he’s just and then this guy was always a part time almost to get Liverpool through to basically probably when club’s going to go now I mean is

Beerstein you never hear or see of him but you just know yeah yeah that you talk about Connections relationships you know I’ve seen him in sort of not not in loads of times but I think he’s massively connected and sort of he understands the whole fabric of agency massive well you shouldn’t really

Hear from them should you really not in terms of I suppose not no like cuz they’re doing their work behind the scenes we had someone come in like kind of above the manager it wasn’t like a sporting director job but I think the after know the RO because this one at

Half time was telling me how to play midfield when we’ll get him in the changing rooms and we’re like where’s he came from but I think it’s like there shouldn’t really be you’ve got to be comfortable if you’re one of the big clubs and we look what they trying to do

With Aston Villa Newcastle for City obviously great example you’ve got to have them people around that structure your football club and pep has got that so Pep’s not looking over his shoulder every week on you know have you got my back obviously does help if you’re winning week and week out whereas I

Reckon at United where there a bit of chaos that can take a lot of your energy when you’re getting distracted where you’re and maybe you too much power yourself in the recruitment if someone takes that away from you and they’re doing a good job it’s great for a

Manager I bet you pep doesn’t get bogged on by all that stuff all right I still think Pep’s priority is I’ve got to try and win the weekend that’s my he’s not getting distracted I think he’s got them people around him that Spanish connection a bit like villain now these

Top managers who’ve got a bit of power and they’re four or five people not your coaching staff people directors of football and who working a board level they’re the ones you need behind you yeah and will support you particular when you’re going through a sticky patch

What what um what is his first job at United Dan Ashworth to decide if Eric tag is the manager for next season it’s I think it’s an interesting one because the better they do you think obviously that’s better for United but if United keep winning the way they won on Sunday that’s not

Sustainable no no you won’t keep winning games no but you know if if they almost muddled through Champions League spot I actually thinks it puts the ownership in and and Dan Ash in a difficult position because you can’t win a league like that you can’t leag of course know what I

Mean is but but I’m not talking about like a six week period when we’ve all been there where you Nick a few results we’re actually sort of almost two years in listen and we’ve said it a million times about Eric tag style of play it’s

It is what we’re seeing now I’m not sure you come wi the biggest trophies playing like that so and and I think obviously braford would know that maybe Dan Ashwood like looking up how Liverpool play play or City player or even Arsenal to be fair yeah and it’ll be that thing

Of oh win Tottenham Villa they all play well so what my point being is though you could get to the stage where man united still finish in the Champions League because said he finished fifth yeah very difficult to change a manager but at the back of their heads I’m

Probably they probably looking at thinking it’d be very it’d be a tough one wouldn’t it to to change the manager and if they had somebody who could implement the type of football that we see the top teams playing that would be the brave things we watch United all the

Time you do not know what you’re going to get with United like do weend we need a bit of look it’s nice to win a game we you think you’ve not played well but you look over the last four or five weeks even FA Cup and conceding goals spores

Come about three or four week it is hit and miss isn’t it and I think be Ro if if say say the results say don’t go well it’s easy isn’t it you just go the results and the start of football we’re going to make a change but if you’re getting the

Results and well that’s interesting about the people who come into United upstairs now are they going to be brutal with that and go listen we We snuck into Fifth and we got an FA Cup semi-final or finally got beaten by brilliant City team they go that’s not I think not good

Enough for us I think they would leave it to Dan I think Dan coming in a sporting director would demand that he has veto over saki manager I can’t believe he would come in without that you can’t rely on the results or can you you’ve got to build a performance that

The result will take care of itself it’s almost like oh we’re going like Villa they didn’t Villa played better right than no but I I felt in that game I was actually going to do this on Monday Night Football but you know different things came up R’s corn yeah yeah but it

Was a bit like even though it was a great result brilliant I mean to go to villain and win that was one places to go so brilliant win but I still felt when I was watching the game at home I was like I’m still seeing the thing

Seeing things that I saw to Tottenham after about the third game of the season where there’s like loads of space in Midfield and fellow between the lines just getting on running at man United’s defense that was happening at Tottenham like six four or five months ago you

Know it just but part of where the problems are cuz we’re sitting there going they got out of jail and they want to get but this is man united trying to get into fifth maybe maybe fourth but fifth really going but that’s that’s where United are at yeah a good result

To Villa yeah listen you take it of course to get Fifth Fifth we’re not even we’re not even debating anymore about United could they push City could they close Arsenal Liverpool no no forget that United know competing with Spurs and Aston Villa yeah our Ambitions have been depressed so low that we’re now

Sort of accepting that that fifth would be good you’re actually into that position now where you’re telling yourself 77% chance next season to get into the Champions League at fifth that’ll be good and all of a sudden you we having the same conversation last year yeah years you get in the Champions

League they won The League Cup yeah and then could to get to the fa C even after the fa c i when have got beat by City the the noise is coming out of United I remember listening to the manager after game so players ah well it’s still nice

To get to a cuff fin you know you’re like what can hell yeah I think expectation to win these games the Ambitions or what always too big on United I think I think in that period cuz it always just left disappointment I remember being like reading things in

The media and being like Oh United must be doing really bad and there was second in the league and I almost like felt sorry for them in a way I’m like they need a realistic feel never feel no but they needed like a realistic ambition I feel like since Alex Ferguson left it

Was like win the league and then that’s it that’s what we want but maybe this will be the start of building then but so yeah Champions League this year then next year what’s the next plan cuz it’s almost like if they don’t win they a

Fail but sport s side is get united we we all know that top clubs are throw Millions at it and I always look at man united players they always to be injured don’t they or not they don’t look the fittest team do they they’re not the

Fittest team get well it seems that way yeah but in terms of players been injured all the time you know are on top of all that you know Dan will get he’ll get the right people in s this we have to tidy up the in bits because that

Plays a huge part having players available you know the big Squad and it’s constantly I know you can have a player who can be unlucky it seems to be five or six lads constantly injured you know what I think he’ll do and I think that um he look at a back analysis

Because he’s that type of guy he’ll definitely look at who’s signed off on the players that have been signed in the last two three years in terms of because there’ll be reports there there’ll be sort of if you like names against who’s signed off on players yeah we should

Sign and we shouldn’t you’ll definitely do all that and you’ll definitely look at things like the players they’ve missed out on what was said about those players as well in terms of say say Diaz goes to Liverpool or another player goes to Dean rice goes to Arsenal they’re

Looking say what what were we saying about Dean rice cuz that’s that that historically was a Manchester United player Dean rice the best player in England that was basically at another club like West Ham United would sign that player and what’s the point in looking back at them no just to sort of

Assess the the staff that are in there you know what I mean now and say yeah they’ll be under the cost he’ll be looking at everything in detail he’s so detailed I do think there will be change you know whether that brings success but there will be change in terms of

Everything that goes on and it’s needed I mean hav they’ve operated for 10 years without a sporting director wow with a manager and you know Ed Woodward who’s predominantly a banker and financier Banker you said super [Laughter] six are we getting good news yeah Jamie take take a call

It’s I’ll get someone to pick me up any chance SL oh yeah sorry Jesus Christ right come on if we haven’t done well I wasn’t until you s well let’s go then right is that West Ham and Arsenal again not putting them twice in a week

Second time in 14 months but they’ve got the you know what it is can I tell you something they’ve got the Brighton director can I tell you something you know you know what all these Lads know is brighten all these clubs it annoys me people go theyve got all the answers so

What would Brighton do for the last 20 years what would you mean what what were these clubs do and all of a sudden they’ve got all the answers no I agree it’s like at Liverpool everything’s down to like guy fromer manag who was the leester he went ever Steve no he done a

Good job but everyone thought he was the answer it’s like Southampton they had a period of about four or five years everyone signed southampton’s players I think the thing with recruitment is not doing bad things and then you you’re almost right that’s our model whatever United have done death things like C buy

Plays like over the remember the guy balls up front like about five or six years falow someone or he came you know like schwi Stager mun like mad like he’s always injured you have you know what I mean they’re bad things just do the right things and then

It’s up to the manager to make it you know get the team or Stu like hear you more about Sport and directors and all these people the players but do you know something we discussed this a few weeks ago it’s manager Le recruitment manager gets in a panic thinks I want that

Player and and there’s no conduit it there goes got clue you ask I agree with joh dad’s side of it but let’s not think there’s somebody at a Brighton or a chef United who’s got all the answers so K Robinson keeps it up and he wants to

Play it in the summer what are you saying I’m saying nothing cuz I’m not there anymore I’m not there anymore it’s nothing to do with me W
