We Need to STOP Calling Players “Wonderkids”

Man United are bottom of the Premier League for high-intensity distance, sprint distance and time spent sprinting… so is there a much bigger problem at the club than just results? 😳

The lads break down United’s worrying start, Michael Carrick, the lack of intensity and the huge pressure now being placed on young players like JJ Gabriel. They also debate whether we need to get rid of the term “wonderkid” altogether.

Elsewhere, Jordan Henderson’s confrontation with Emi Martínez sparks a big debate over leadership and responsibility, while Tottenham’s incredible home-defeat record raises plenty of questions. Plus, the lads put their Premier League knowledge to the test with a football quiz at the end of the show.
