Now hiring, actual goalkeeper required – Podcast #424

Grimsby Town 2 v Man Utd 2 – Grimsby win 12-11 on penalties
Carabao Cup 2nd Round
27th August 2025

It’s been 77 years since Manchester United last played away at Grimsby Town and on that day in 1948 we drew too. In fact, after last night’s poor performance we now still haven’t beaten Grimsby at their place in eleven games dating back to September 1909.

Football was very different back in them days and most goalkeepers have improved massively since the days of not wearing gloves and saving footballs made from animal bladders and leather. Unfortunately we currently have a “goalkeeper” that couldn’t even catch a cold, let alone a football.

Onana has already had plenty of poor performances in a United shirt and in his first outing in one this season, he added to that tally in an absolute abysmal display in front of goal. No words can describe how frustrating he is between the sticks. Yes, United overall weren’t great and Grimsby deserved all they got on the night, but when you have a supposed keeper as inept as Onana it surely does not help?

I’m sure Phil has the same opinion and more, enjoy :
