    Arsenal Crumble? Man City Smash Chelsea as the Title Race Blows Open! Rio & Ste Tease JoeL

    Welcome back to Rio Presents, brought to you by CRAFTD. We’re live and direct after a huge weekend in the title race, with plenty to get into following Manchester City’s clash with Chelsea and another frustrating chapter for Arsenal. The conversation starts with a closer look at the impact of half-time decisions, and how the contrast between Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta is becoming more and more evident when games are on the line. Rio also reflects on dressing room moments from his own career, revealing how the right message at half-time can completely transform a team’s performance. From there, the focus shifts to some of the standout players driving City forward this season, including the unpredictable brilliance of Ryan Cherki, the incredible output from Nico O’Reilly at left-back, and the growing influence of Marc Guehi during this crucial stage of the campaign. As always, we dive into the stats behind the story, comparing City and Arsenal’s attacking numbers and asking serious questions about where things are going wrong for Arteta’s side. With teams seemingly finding a blueprint to disrupt Arsenal’s build-up play, we explore whether the rest of the league is starting to catch on, and what that means for their title hopes. There’s plenty of debate throughout the show, including fan questions on everything from recent criticism around key players to the bigger picture at Arsenal, and even whether this could be a defining moment for Arteta’s future at the club. We also touch on wider talking points across the game, including Chelsea, Liverpool, and standout performers across Europe. To round things off, there’s a quick look at Roberto De Zerbi’s difficult start at Tottenham, plus a well-deserved shoutout to one of the young talents we’ve been backing on the podcast, Rio Ngumoha, after a special moment at Anfield.

    One of the most iconic goalscorers sits down with Rio to reveal what made him so lethal as an Argentina and Serie A number 9. Having shared a dressing room and friendship with the legendary Diego Maradona, Batistuta reveals what it was like for team mates and managers to share a dressing room and feed off his persona. Batistuta gives some amazing insight into the life of Maradona and how his upbringing led to an extraordinary life of fame and success both on and off the pitch before a sad demise.

    Judging Michael Carrick by Solskjaer’s Standards Is the Wrong Debate

    Rio comes in HOT after another statement victory for Manchester United, following up a win over Manchester City with victory at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal. With a huge improvement in form and positivity around the club since sacking Ruben Amorim, the conversation quickly turns to why Michael Carrick should not be judged through the same lens as Ole Gunnar Solskjær. From Arsenal supporters' growing tension to Arteta’s obsession with control, the lack of freedom for Bukayo Saka and whether this really is a “now or never” moment — this episode pulls no punches on the Gunner's race for the title. Rio compares Arteta’s Arsenal to Klopp’s Liverpool and Mourinho’s Chelsea, arguing this isn’t about tactics — it’s about personality, leadership, and dressing-room energy. He then focuses on why Saka, in particular, needs reminding of the basics — discussing the need for freedom over fear. There’s also a comparison to what Ruben Amorim did with the same players which contrasts with how Michael Carrick is getting them to perform - Ste and Rio come up with and investigate those differences - paying particular attention to Patrick Dorgu, Kobbie Mainoo and Diogo Dalot Hosted on Acast.

    People Saying Carrick Has No Charisma Don’t Know What They’re On About!

    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. Hosted on Acast.

    With only 90 minutes of international football before Thomas Tuchel names his England World Cup squad, Rio Ferdinand sits down with Joel Beya and Ste Howson to break down the real decisions facing England - and it’s not as straightforward as people think. From inside insight into the England camp, to the big calls Thomas Tuchel has to make, you’ll hear Rio pick his starting XI for the important knockout matches and the truth about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s absence from the squad. There’s analysis on whether Harry Maguire really is England’s 5th choice central defender (behind Trevor Chalobah) and why Luis Enrique’s impact on Ousmane Dembele will help France in the summer. Rio also reveals why he would not go to Tottenham if he was Roberto De Zerbi and which African sides could cause surprises at the World Cup. Hosted on Acast.

    SECOND place! Can Carrick’s Manchester United finish that high?

    Following the third positive weekend in a row for Michael Carrick as Manchester United manager, Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to analyse what’s different about the players and the performance. There’s discussion about the difference between Kobbie Mainoo and Adam Wharton following another impressive performance by the United academy graduate along with the reasons behind the improvement shown by Sesko and why there’s so much love from all his team mates. Bruno Fernandes has been one of the most consistent players in the Premier League over the last 6 seasons so Ste compares the level of credit the Portuguese midfielder gets compared to another player who performed well individually in a poorer team - Steven Gerrard. Rio also reveals why he feels Liam Rosenior is getting unfairly treated for the things he says to the media and why Arteta doesn’t really mean that he wants his players to play with more freedom and why Kai Havertz’s return from injury is a huge positive for Viktor Gyokeres.

    Rio is joined by Joel Beya and Ste Howson to analyse Arsenal’s defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup Final where they pay particular attention to Mikel Arteta’s decision to stick with number 2 goalkeeper Kepa. Rio reveals why he thought that was a big mistake both tactically and in terms of the mentality it showed. There is a defence of Declan Rice who Rio believes “couldn’t do his job” because of the lack of service and praise for Pep Guardiola’s tactics that may have shown other Premier League opponents how to overcome Arteta’s Arsenal. The trio all believe that Tottenham might be playing their football in the Championship next season and after a frustrating draw with Bournemouth - Ste and Rio lay out what the priorities should be for Manchester United to address in the summer if they are to compete in the Champions League. Rio makes another plea for Danny Welbeck to be picked in the World Cup squad for England and he also reveals the release of an extra special Gabriel Batistuta interview where the Argentinian legend divulges some incredible detail about Rio’s idol - Diego Maradona.

With the title race taking a break for the FA Cup, Ste doesn’t take a break in analysing Arsena’s title credentials catching up with Joel for the first time since Arteta’s side dropped points at Brentford. Rio points out the key role of players within the dressing room who maintain perspective and are able to remain calm in this type of high-pressure situation.

Ste and Joel produce various different stats when analysing the performance of Trent while Rio details why his passing ability is a skill that can often be under rated and appreciated considering all of the factors that are required to excel at that part of the game.
