Joel Beya and Stephen Howson join Rio to discuss draws for Manchester United and Arsenal and the big match between Manchester City and Liverpool. Before they discuss the game at the Etihad, Rio receives a voice-note from Usain Bolt who raises a few issues about Manchester United’s defending under Ruben Amorim - particularly during the draw at Tottenham.
After dissecting those comments from Bolt, Rio reveals who he thinks the most important Man Utd players are right now and analyses the way that Matthijs De Ligt plays out from the back after Amorim urged him to show more confidence and play riskier passes.
Jeremy Doku was an integral part of Man City’s demolition of Liverpool and Rio analyses why he’s been able to improve his game this season whilst comparing him to Nani in terms of wingers who show incredible talent but lack consistency in their game.
And after Ste adopts some Mikel Arteta tactics around scoring from set pieces, the trio discuss the Wythenshawe Sunday League veterans team that includes Premier League striker Papiss Cisse, title winner Danny Drinkwater and tease a huge new signing they’re expecting to make.
