The Anfield Wrap · Rio as a Forward Option? | The Anfield Wrap · 8 Jun 2026 podcast

Including centre-forwards?

Including centre-forwards.

I think on any given match day, you don't want him to be your first attacking sub, you want him to be your second attacking sub, but you are going to get injuries to centre-forwards.

The one thing we know about Isak is he will get injured, at which point there are only three ahead of him, so it probably does mean that you want to sit with the five.

But at the same time,

as has been demonstrated, it was a wonderfully energetic conversation between yourself and Stu on the gutter about the whole thing.

And I could see

I can see both sides of the argument to some extent.

And the problem is Bayern want him.

Bayern have clearly spoken to his people.

It looks like they may have spoken to Rio himself from what the report is saying.

And they can offer him, as we said on the gutter, they can offer him more first-team football because it's an easier league to play in and he is only on a three-year contract.

So this could become the saga of the summer, whether Rio stays with us or not.

I think what you should be looking for is, you know, five Premier League, Champions League starts last season.

I think you should be looking for about 20 from him.

If he were his people, you would want to see a commitment to the fact that he will get starts.

And that gives you the bottom half of the table at home.

He starts against them.

That doesn't mean he has to do a full 90 minutes.

He just gets a start against them.
