After a poor showing in the Manchester derby, Rio is with Ste Howson and Joel Beya to work out how manager Ruben Amorim can balance the need for victories with the desire to stick to his principles. Rio discusses how Pep Guardiola adapted during his time at Man City and points out the tactical tweaks he feels Amorim can make without compromising his values.

There’s significant praise for Erling Haaland who will “blitz” numerous sides in the Premier League this year according to Rio who also debates whether he’d choose the Norwegian or Kylian Mbappe for the world’s best striker based on current form.

Rio also asks for those Arsenal fans who petitioned against the signing of Noni Madueke to apologise after his terrific start to the season and gives advice to Kobbie Mainoo about how he should approach getting picked by the manager.
