What standout performances did Ekitike and Wirtz deliver?
Coming up on today's show... Are we talking about someone now who could be the next one on the list to be world class alongside of Kane, Haaland, Mbappe, that sort of level?
Do you think Isak plays wide once he gets back fit and strong? Or do they cash in?
I don't care what anyone says, say what you want about tactics or not. Tactically, he got it right.
Yeah.
It hurt me today watching Man City. It hurt me to the core. Hang on a minute, what's going on behind you?
What's going on there, Micah? Did you reminisce there to Mario Balotelli coming around your house?
Hello and welcome to The Rest Is Football with Alan Shearer, Micah Richards and me, Gary Lineker. Right, let me explain this. We're recording this part of the episode at midday on Sunday before the other games. We'll jump on for the second half and discuss those a bit later.
How is Liverpool's new signings adapting under Arne Slot?
The reason for that is probably because Alan is now in Portugal and it could be a long day for him, so we're not sure. We'll see him later. Alan, first you need to explain, why have you got gold horns growing out of your head?
It's the only thing I've got growing out of my head in years, Gaz, so that doesn't matter. Yeah, I'm just sat in the wrong place here. I'm in Portugal, yeah, we've got a little pro-am happening this week, golf. So I'm hoping my mate Pete can pull out all the stops and bring his A game again, unlike last time. And if he doesn't, you'll blame him. And if we don't win, it's his fault, as you know. So, yeah, I'm here for a few days and, yeah, see what happens. But later on, I'm not sure where I'll be or what I'll be doing, but I am having a drink this afternoon, so thanks for covering for me later on.
Are you and Pete sharing beds again?
No, no, no, no, no. Pete's got his own bedroom this time. It's all right.
What are Manchester United's prospects under Michael Carrick?
Where are you, Mike? You're working today, aren't you? Yes, I'm just in London, about to head to work in about 45 minutes. When you say to work, where are you going? Super Sunday.
Super Sunday, yeah.
Super Sunday for Sky.
It's not real work, is it? It's not exactly a coal mine, is it?
It's not real work. It's definitely not real work, lads. It's not.
It's enjoyment. Let's call it enjoyment. You know, I went to watch a game.
What went wrong for Manchester City against Spurs?
I went to QPR. I went to Loftus Road. Why? To watch QPR Coventry.
What's happening with Coventry?
What's happening with them? A friend of mine, Giles Curran, invited me and I went with my friend JD. A bit of lunch before and then watched the game. It's quite close. QPR won as well. Played quite well. Coventry were poor, going through a bit of a sticky spell like most teams do at some point. But it was a giggle. It was fun. And everybody, I sat in the crowd as well, so it was quite, and everyone was lovely.
How did Newcastle manage to outplay Liverpool?
Lineker's a wanker. Lineker's a wanker. I didn't get any of that. I did when I played there, I got a lot of that.
I feel sorry for the two blokes sat behind you. They had a fucking great view of those lugs.
That's not allowed these days. I tell you what though, every walk into the ground, you're going with all the supporters and every single one of them going, what are you coming to watch this for? It's terrible. It's going to be terrible. Fans, the pessimism was, but it was really good atmosphere at the end. It was a lot of fun. This episode is powered by Fuse Energy.
