Rio Ferdinand Calls Kyle Walker 'A Liability' In Leaked BT Sport Footage

Rio Ferdinand gave a damning view of Manchester City full-back Kyle Walker in what appears to be leaked footage from BT Sport.

Ferdinand was providing punditry on the BT's 5:30 kick-off as Chelsea ended Manchester City's unbeaten start to the Premier League season and can be heard calling Walker a "liability" in a clip that should have been off camera footage.

One user on Twitter said he somehow came across a live stream showing Jake Humphrey and the rest of the punditry team having a half-time chat that wasn't supposed to air.

And it features the former Manchester United man giving Walker a pasting for failing to track Willian for N'Golo Kante's opening goal on the stroke of half-time at Stamford Bridge.

"Look at Kyle Walker, sleeping. Look at Kyle Walker," Ferdinand can be heard saying.

"That's why England - whenever he plays - he'll always be a liability at the top level."

Joe Cole chimes in, saying: "I'm with you, I'm not saying that though because his mate comes to the gym."

The footage also features Cole saying "this Man City team are far from perfect" as well as other casual football chat from all those in the studio.

The fascinating exchange finishes with Jake Humphrey running through how the half-time analysis will play out once they return from the ad break.
