Arteta’s Arsenal Under PRESSURE & Pep’s City CLOSING IN?

The Wayne Rooney Show

Available for over a year

Wayne Rooney reacts to a huge weekend in the Premier League as the pressure intensifies on Mikel Arteta and Arsenal. Are they starting to overthink the title race? Is this just a dip, or the start of something bigger? And how much are Arteta’s methods helping, or adding to the pressure? Are Manchester City once again timing their run perfectly? Why do Guardiola’s teams always look so calm when it matters most? Wayne talks about how it feels to be in the midst of a title race and which player took the Manchester United team paint balling and kayaking to take their minds off the league? And will Spurs and Roberto De Zerbi beat the drop? After another defeat, is it a confidence issue, a tactical problem, or something deeper within the squad?
