About this episode
Rio gets his old mate Mark Noble on the pod this week to discuss what it’s like playing against Manchester City at the Etihad with your backs against the wall, the way Erik Ten Hag is selecting his players after ‘rotating’ Marcus Rashford and the impact that Pep Guardiola is having on British football from lower league academies to the way clubs like West Ham are working with their young players. Noble challenges Rio to a game of padel tennis and also reveals why his confidence took a big hit when he started playing in a new position for manager Gianfranco Zola.
