People Saying Carrick Has No Charisma Don’t Know What They’re On About!
3/16/202650 min
Rio is joined by Ste and Joel for the episode which discusses how Bruno Fernandes is moving into Ronaldo and Messi territory with his unbelievable numbers at Manchester United.
Rio mounts a defence of former team mate Michael Carrick after people suggested his perceived lack of “charisma” is a reason that he shouldn’t get the permanent manager's role in the summer.
You’ll also hear why Rio would “one million percent” take Max Dowman to the World Cup after he became the Premier League’s youngest goalscorer and why he is already surpassing the likes of Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen who gained huge reputations at a similar age. The trio also look at the potential impact of Dowman’s rising star on club captain Martin Odegaard.
There’s analysis of Liam Rosenior’s time in charge of Chelsea after it was revealed only 3 managers have a better points tally since he took over and Rio reveals why he “HATES” team huddles.
And Ste gave a Stretford Paddock debut to a Premier League winner and reveals what it’s like for the other players in non-league to share a pitch with someone of that quality.

And also, anyone you mention, even those three guys there, there's still question marks with them. Can, can Luis- can Enrique, Enrique come to the Premier League? Does he know the Premier League? Can he adapt? Can he get his team working? They're all the questions that everyone was asking about this team that Michael, Michael Carrick's answered. Are these players good enough?
