How Amorim beat Slot Tactically and Unse...

Rio Ferdinand Presents
About this episode

Ste and Rio get together to bask in the glory of beating rivals Liverpool at Anfield. There’s analysis of specific tactics that Amorim employed to unsettle the Champions’ defence and Rio discusses why Mbuemo and Cunha cause Virgil Van Dijk so many problems.


After scoring the winner, there’s special praise for Harry Maguire and also Casemiro for showing resilience and the mentality to regain their place in the team when it could have been easier to leave the club.


Rio details the importance of new goalkeeper Senne Lammens and how his performances have stabilised the rest of the team. 


With an important match against Brighton next up, Rio questions whether the pragmatic, difficult-to-beat approach will be sustainable at Manchester United and Ste discusses whether the fans would allow that style of play to become more commonplace over the next few months as Amorim continues to develop the squad.


Rio also suggests that Florian Wirtz will be questioning his summer transfer to Liverpool and details why Liverpool’s tactics are contributing to Alexander Isak’s early struggles.
