You wouldnt be saying this if rice went to any other club
Hmmm and then leaves a big hole for the other team to break through….
He’s right. This goes to Grealish too
It funny how no one is interested in talking about what Rice is great at anymore since he moved to Arsenal.
Rice is good player, but poor English media is working overtime to make him world class. The way they talk about him you would think they are talking about Zidane.
Yes, because Mac had too much defending to do, with a hslf decent dm he could be further up the pitch where he will absolutely shine !
Havertz is not quiet in the game… havertz has a very good game 💯
Not saying he's wrong but this is a weird game to mention it since he had 3 shots on goal which is already way more than I expected.
Overrated and overpriced
He won’t n Now U just Realized he wasn’t worth the 100 Million 4 a DM huh 🤔
Arsenal is very poor during the weekend. They must improve if they want to win any trophy this season. From the look of it, Liverpool, Chelsea, NC, Brighton and even Spurs looks better and much more organize than Arsenal.
THE GUY JUST MADE HIS EPL DEBUT FOR HIS NEW TEAM. He is being played in a new box to box role, give him time for christs sake honestly. The way the media have to make headlines after just one game, they way they are writing Arsenal off as well because they only just beat City for the C.S and only beat Forrest 2-1 in the opening EPL game its honestly anything to make a headline
Is it me or has Aly's scottish accent got even stronger over the holidays😅
His game is literally already phenomenal, from his ball winning ability, physically in midfield, ferocity carrying the ball up the field right down to his stamina & recovery pace
Passing wise he’s good but could work on his tendency to pass forward for progressive play rather than regressive (breaking lines with his vision with passing aswell long ball distribution) but in general that’s something more necessary to the 6 role (Parteys role) to mr Declan Rice is & has always been an 8
Essentially he’s a better version of Xhaka, literally the minute he starts scoring & assisting with Xhaka (22/23 season) numbers or higher he’s gonna be unplayable
Average player
Martinelli assist was great
Since when are defensive midfielders expected to get forward?? As soon as he starts pushing forward these clowns will be the first to accuse him of lack of positional awareness. Can’t win. It shows how much arsenal have improved when pundits are criticising their players for not doing what they’re not supposed to 🤷♂️
He’s so overrated far too overvalued and overpriced
Early days
Just let him do what he did at west ham, that way he allows our more attacking players to do what they are good at
Why is Rice the ONLY defensive midfielder who is criticised for his lack of goals and assists?
I didn't hear any of this about Caicedo, Kante, Enzo, Thiago or Fabinho?
Oh yes, Rice is English, that's why he gets criticised more.
Agreed. I think he’ll get into those positions but his finishing like today with the volleys, let him down.
Lets draw season long conclusions from 1 round of games 🤦🏻♂️😅
Why have someone presenting radio that can't stop clearing his throat?
Hes just joined and people expect him to do everything ffs.
over 100m and yet bissoums 30m what we paid does a much better job then rice and a much better player imo rice is overated as per usual even caicedo is bette then rice
£115m for Caicedo after 1 decent season and people thought Rice was overpriced??? Comparable stats however Rice has done it for 4 season, oh and scores more!
105 million for a glorified yard dog that passes sideways lol
I give up on arsenal
I’m sorry but rice had 4 shots on target and 2 of them nearly finding the back of the net. As a West Ham fan I’ve not seen him do that in a single game for West Ham. He will grow into the player arteta wants.
Rice is a poor man's Xhaka. Just 3 time as expensive.
Ball playing goalies need to shoot more too ..
Rice so overrated…watch him..then tonali..for half his fee…huge difference in class..awareness..the whole package
Are we going to expect goals from Caicedo and Lavia aswell then
Rice is a good player but you cant expect him to be something he isn't. Rice advances with the ball but he checks back when someone stands him up. Technically hes not that type of player. Thats fine, he wasnt brought for that.
Yea forest scored but only because Arsenal took their foot off the gas
