The Manchester teams?

Better be careful that even the minnows lose fear of them.
...the one really in the doldrums is BoyU.

Poor Rio. Have been saying for at least 2 years that opponents must challenge him repeatedly with pace.
...as I have also been saying about my GUNNERS Mertesacker. Although it must be said, Mertesacker seems to have worked on his pace during the break since last season.

Rio, I think, cannot improve on pace. I think he is over-the-hill.

[Rockman]

Rio should wear an ankle bracelet that goes if he strays beyond his 18,he will always get exposed if there is too many acres between himself and his keeper.
We have bigger problems though.

True regarding Rio... if he hasn't alreadypassed it, he is very close to his sell-by date.
