How did Manchester City reignite the title race at Anfield?
Oh, he's back on. You can't say he's back on.
He's back on. He's back on, Gaz. Can you imagine if City lose a league by a goal difference on one goal?
Man City need a goal and they're not bringing him on. But Phil Foden was supposed to be the Kevin De Bruyne replacement.
If I was Cobby Maynard, I'd be thinking about whether I should sue him or not. I think to turn on Eddie and want him out would be ludicrous.
This summer, Newcastle's recruitment hasn't worked. You've spent an absolute fortune. You've paid £125 million for two centre-forwards and you're saying they look better without them. I am.
Hello and welcome to The Rest Is Football with Alan Shearer at home, Mike Richards in the back of a car after a long day's work watching football, as he likes to call it work, and me, Gary Lineker, at home. And well, before we start, I think we'll come.
What impact does Michael Carrick's management have on Manchester United's performance?
You're looking very smart in the back of that car. You look good on... You look very good on telly today. Thank you very much, Dan. Very good, I thought. Million dollars. Million dollars, big meat. A million dollars. Before we get on to football, I think the country needs to know what happened in the rest of your golf week.
Oh, guys. So Tuesday was the first day. Going well. Going really well. We sat in a really good position, third or fourth, only two shots, two points off the lead with two days to go, Wednesday and Thursday. So we were really sensible Tuesday night, waiting to get up Wednesday morning to go again. And then it was cancelled because of the rain and the wind.
What are Thomas Tuchel's selection dilemmas for Chelsea?
So you know what? What do you do when the golf's cancelled?
Hmm.
we head to the pub. Go on the lash. Well, what else can you do? We had conversations. Well, we did. We went to the pub and had conversations. So we went to the pub and then we stayed in the pub and then we stayed in the pub a bit longer and then we watched the Newcastle game. Yeah, we just had too much alcohol and it just put us off our game on the Thursday.
What did I tell you this time last week?
Yeah, I know. You've got to be more professional.
We all do it on these golf trips.
How does Phil Foden's situation affect Manchester City's squad depth?
And you blamed your profession anyway, didn't you? Instead of blaming Peter this time, our professional who shot level par, decent, slightly disappointing, actually, because he was two under with four to play on the first day. He then, after a day on the drink... I bet you took him out, though, didn't you?
I bet you insisted he came along.
He came along. He had to come along with us. Yeah, absolutely. So, going from level par on the Tuesday, albeit in tough conditions on the Thursday, he shot 10 over. Ha!
oh good so yeah we blew our chances bad influence oh well not to worry Mikey you were in the studio you were also on the pitch beforehand with Daniel Sturridge I thought it was a nice little bit you did together there
Yeah, how did you like that? How did it go down? Because I thought, you know, there's four of us in the studio. Go down pitch side, get a little bit of reaction and atmosphere from down under. I really enjoyed it.
What were the standout moments from the Liverpool vs. Manchester City match?
I really enjoyed it.
I think Sturridge is very good, I have to say. I think he's come on quickly. He talks intelligently. He understands the game. Very good. Very impressed.
There was a good part on the pitch I thought really good.
Anything to do with strikers and knowing the game, I just think he's brilliant. You know, like yourselves, you know, when you talk about detail. And that's why I ask you guys so many questions because we've all played striker. We all think we can play striker, but not play striker at that level. And it's them little differences that make the big difference to someone like me who's listening to you.
LAUGHTER
And the subtle differences, the subtle ones, they're not big differences.
How do injuries impact the Premier League title race?
Simple as that.
