  Real issues at Manchester United exposed after Brighton defeat | LKIO Ep. 80

  Sep 18, 202657 minS3

  Manchester United threw away a 2-0 lead against Brighton, and the fallout goes far beyond one bad night. Steve and Az break down how a promising first half featuring Shea Lacey’s stunning strike and Mason Mount’s goal unravelled into another damaging defeat, questioning the team selection, shaky goalkeeping, game management and Michael Carrick’s second-half changes. They also dig into the controversial derby VAR decision, United’s worrying running and intensity numbers, and whether Carrick is being asked to implement a style that simply doesn’t suit the players at his disposal.The conversation then turns to the real issues at Manchester United: the growing pressure on the hierarchy, supporter protests against the ownership, recruitment strategy and whether the club should keep holding out for one elite target. There’s also discussion around wonderkid JJ Gabriel and what his situation says about youth development, patience and the advice young players receive. From Lacey’s breakout moment and the Brighton collapse to Carrick, VAR, recruitment and the ownership mess, Steve and Az ask where responsibility really lies — and why the problems at United run much deeper than the manager.----------------------------------------TIMESTAMPS00:00 Man Utd 2-3 Brighton16:00 Manchester derby defeat28:38 Baller & Wasteman of the Week40:30 Andy Mitten interview51:30 Carrick's future----------------------------------------BROUGHT TO YOU BY GO PLAY SPORTS ⚽️Let’s Kick It Off is brought to you by Go Play Sports — the digital platform connecting grassroots sport.Create and manage your games, organise your players and take payments all in one place.Download Go Play Sports on iOS & Android: www.goplaysports.co.uk ----------------------------------------FOLLOW LET’S KICK IT OFF!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letskickitoffukTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@letskickitoffukX: https://www.x.com/letskickitoffukSubstack: https://letskickitoffuk.substack.com----------------------------------------Subscribe to the channel, leave us a comment with your Baller and Wasteman of the Week, and let us know how you’re feeling about United’s start to the season.#mufc #manchesterunited #premierleague

  Ahead of the Manchester derby, Steve caught up with Andy Mitten — editor of United We Stand, writer for The Athletic and regular on the Talk of the Devils podcast. Outside Old Trafford for an exclusive conversation on the state of Manchester United. Andy discusses United’s summer recruitment, including the club’s understanding that Elliot Anderson and Lewis Hall wanted to join, while Steve and Andy debate whether United should have pushed their finances further to land their top targets. They also discuss the latest rebuild, the continuing impact of the Glazers, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, rising ticket prices and the pressure surrounding Michael Carrick. Recorded before United’s derby defeat at Old Trafford, several parts of the conversation feel even more significant after what unfolded on the pitch, so Steve returns after the interview with his post-match thoughts on United’s midfield, left-back situation and why he still believes the club should have pushed harder for Elliot Anderson.

  Is Michael Carrick feeling the pressure after Man Utd's draw at Everton? | LKIO Ep. 78

  Sep 8, 202658 minS3

  Steve, Ash and Jackson dig into United’s frustrating 2-2 draw at Everton and what it says about Michael Carrick’s side three games into the new season. United led twice but failed to see the game out, raising questions about game management, the defensive structure and whether four points from the opening three games is a cause for concern. The lads assess where United are after the summer transfer window and where the squad still looks strong or vulnerable, before the latest Baller/Wasteman of the Week — picking the best and worst person from the last week in football. Then attention turns to Europe, with the Champions League returning and the big question of how far United can realistically go this season. ---------------------------------------- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Everton 2-2 Man Utd 11:20 Rashford, Shaw & United’s Attacking Balance 15:47 Pressure on Carrick? 23:35 Baller and Wasteman of the Week 29:19 Transfer Window Review 39:12 Champions League Return 43:34 Old Trafford Refurbishment vs New Stadium 47:15 INEOS, Ownership & Transfer Strategy 50:58 Manchester Derby & Upcoming Fixtures ---------------------------------------- BROUGHT TO YOU BY GO PLAY SPORTS Let’s Kick It Off is brought to you by Go Play Sports — the digital platform connecting grassroots sport.

  Aug 27, 20261 hourS1

  Kabs joins Steve & Ash to explain what the new minority investment into Liverpool actually means, who's really behind it, why the reported stake size matters, and why the club's public messaging around "nothing changing" doesn't tell the full story. And the conversation turns to football - where the real tension sits. Liverpool's slow start against Newcastle, the impact of Slot's training and periodization ideas, and the huge questions around whether the squad was built for the manager they actually have.

  Diabolical Manchester United Defeat at Hull City in Opening Game | LKIO Ep. 75

  Aug 24, 202655 minS3

  Steve is joined by Ash and Scott to break down Manchester United’s 2-0 opening-day defeat to Hull and what it says about the squad, the manager, and the club’s transfer strategy. The conversation is blunt throughout, with Scott especially arguing that the performance was far more than a one-off bad result. We discuss the lack of intensity, the midfield imbalance, the failure to replace elite quality with elite quality, and whether the club is settling for “acceptable” instead of ambitious. The episode also looks ahead to the rest of the window and the pressure already building on Michael Carrick. What's your biggest concern for Manchester United this season?
