If you don’t tell us how wonderful we are we’ll spit our dummy. Arsenal fans
He stood out in a poor west ham side? The fk is he on about?
I like Rice. Simon is right he just does the basics well.
Although he is the only £100m midfielder signed in the Prem to not deliver a trophy and repay his new chairman.
Grealish, Caidedo and Enzo have showed their value, Rice not so much.
Rent free!!! Love it!
i don't think you'll meet any true Arsenal fan that thinks Rice is Andrea Pirlo or Busquets we simply have a deep appreciation for his dedication and what he bring to the team. Dec covers every blade of grass, is NEVER injured, takes set pieces, does the donkey work, chips in with goals and can play multiple positions. £105 mill well spent and we will leave everyone else to bicker amongst themselves about whether he's 'world class' or not
Love to know Simon’s views on Caicedo then as that’s who Declan’s getting compared to even though Declan offers a lot more all over the pitch.
P.S. Gary Neville bums dogs.
Devil Graham we know very well about ur -ve opinion on Arsenal players and on our club…He is going to be way better than ur Steven G shooter
Simon and Graham both are useless and garbage talk take it or leave it…he is the best midfielder currently incomparable with anyone else
THE DEAF SIMON WHO IS BETTER THSN DECLAN IN THE PL RIGHT NOW?
He’s no Freddy Potts.
IF RICE WAS A CHELSEA PLAYER. JORDAN WOULD BE SAYING DIFFERENT. HE CAN'T HIDE HIS HATRED FOR ARSENAL. AND IF SOUNESS WAS PLAYING TODAY. HE'D BE RED CARDED EVERY GAME 🤔
Eberechi EZE is who improved the arsenal right now better footballer all-around player than rice ,but English media doesn't like to talk about it for whatever reason stop hyping rice for what his not
Declan Rice is a very good midfielder but he is not even in the conversation with a Gascoigne, Gerrard or a De Bruyne.
Simon: "What were trying to do is discredit Souness."
Jim: "No were not."
Jim sure did have a big grin on his face trying to get Simon cornered into saying Declan Rice is overrated in a non disrespectful way. Why do I feel like thats what was happening? Lol.
Love the show!!!
I love Simon. But this is his worst take in history 😂😂😂
Vieria was no Iniesta, nor Roy Keane in terms of defence splitting passes, therefore on this logic they were also not top midfielders
So what did he do at West Ham Simon? We paid 100 mil I’ll say it’s fair indicator of what he did at a smaller team. Declan can’t do what de Byrne does? Does KDB do what Declan does? What does that even mean?
Claude makelele was not an outstanding passer of the ball but he was classed as one of the best. This is a nonsense take!
Can someone show simon and Tony, Declans Assist from tonight in the CL. Those guy will say whatever it takes to make a narrative.
Some people failed in coaching and they always give fake opinions
Declan Rice is a perfect mix of individual and team player.
He doesn't just have amazing moments, he also drive, support and make the team better, on and off the pitch, week in, week out.
A real model and obvious futur Arsenal and England Captain.
World Class.
I didn't miss Souness.
Bro he proved he can stand out in a weaker side when he was valued at 100m playing at west ham 😂😂😂 free everybody’s head from arsenal
didn't he play for west ham
Are corners not passing or am i missing something?
Great job Simon. Criticising Rice for raising his game. Expected from Simon.. Keep the negativity goin!!
When Rice was at WestHam he was the best English Midfielder in their eyes at the time 2/3 years later goals and assists improved but now he is at Arsenal he aint as good got it
Next i see you lot talk about Cole Palmer please talk about his tackling and goal saving abilities
People lauded Beckham, JWP, and others with dead ball specialities but Simon is saying what Dec does is “what is expected”? I just don’t get it lol
This entire conversation is on the back of a very DeBruyne cross for Merino’s second goal.
I think Elton John should stick to the piano, football punditry isn't his bag
How much would he stand out in a poor side? Probably enough for 1st and 2nd place to bid £100m for him I’d guess 😂
Sauness is a hater and always will be.
Without Arsenal FC there is no football media wow every Tom, dick and Harry talks about the Arsenal 😂😂😂😂
So because other players can’t do what rice can rice isn’t good ? 😂😂. Why’s it so difficult for “ pundits “ if that’s what you wanna call them. To praise Arsenal or any player for them without saying it through gritted teeth or with a negative following it. By Simon’s logic. Caicedo enzo isak wirtz should all be able to take a corner and free kicks and do what rice does consistently then ?
Rice is cooking and the Arsenal haters are jealous and crying! 🤣😂
He was a 6 that transform to more attack. Now they talk about wanting him to be KDB. Can KDB cover the pitch like Rice?
Can KDB recover the ball like rice?
He is still a player that come from defensive position, that is why Arsenal play Odegaard or Eze together with Rice and why KDB is play together with Rodri.
Souness is an awful pundit get him off my screen majority of his takes stinks 😷
THIS GUYS ARE JUST HATIGN BUMS!!!!!!!!!!!! ANYONE WITH A BRAIN KNOWS RICE IS TOP 3 MIDFIELDERS IN THE WORLD!!!! IF U WATCH RICE WEEK-IN WEEK-OUT U WOULD KNOW HE'S MINIMUM A 7 EVERY WEEK!!!!! DELUDED CLOWNS🤡🤡🤡🤡
Wonder if Simon could write with both hands
Finally someone calling rice out😂 he does absolutely nothing in majority of games yet gets called world class
Jim is definitely getting too old. He doesn't know the difference between a clever ball in play and a set piece.
is declan rice better than caicedo or gravenberch? theyre not exactly the same type but i'd argue the other 2 are still more important for their teams than declan is for arsenal
I wonder if David Beckham gets offended by these set piece conversstions
who cares…we love rice at Arsenal.. what y'all think doesn't affect his performance
Gloried Ward Prowse.
Glorified Ward Prowse
Declan Rice I believe this season and for the next couple of seasons
