Re: Declan Rice
Good on him - his form definitely deserves it and has shown he's not a flash in the pan player.
Hope he has a long and successful England career.

Re: Declan Rice
I was thinking something similar after I heard he'd been called up. My money's on Sterling to injure him!S-H wrote:Fingers crossed, Shaun Wright-Phillips never visits England's training ground..

There’s no question that the team selected should’ve beaten Wimbledon comfortably.brownout wrote:We should start by playing our strongest side in the cups - no repeat of AFC Wimbledon.

Re: Bbc podcast - rice wants whu in european football
unless we get European football rice will be off next season. maybe making him the captain next season will keep him for another year. the longer the club stands still around 11th place the greater the chances of rice and others leaving.

Indeed. Should have but didn't.Hammersfaniow wrote:

A full strength team, including Rice would have been less likely to lose.

Re: Declan Rice
The more I've watched Declan i've noticed he doesn't have quick feet & his 1st step is very slow, making his 1st 5yds non competitive compared to most midfielders. Maybe that's why he's seen by some as a CB, I like him at DM, but don't think he will be an effective B2B due to sluggish movement.
Offensively, I see him more as a reinforcer reading the game, anticipating & picking up pieces behind our dancing ball players.
Defensively, I see him best as a CB shield specialist who can fill in too CB when Diop/Balbuena are either pulled out of position by our FB's or driving out of defense into midfield with their regular knack/ability of intercepting on the move.

Re: Declan Rice
So missing out on European football is "failure" now.

Re: Declan Rice
That's exactly the winning mentality our players need to have. Love how he's coming out with it, future England captain.westham,eggyandchips wrote:So missing out on European football is "failure" now.

He's ambitious and knows this squad could and should probably have made Europe last season (if it wasn't for injuries), we definitely should be aiming for Europe.

Re: Declan Rice
I like him - he is a bit of a clown. Not sure that makes him good Captain material though.

Couldnt agree more. Whether the players should be coming out and saying it is another matter.The Green Man wrote: We definitely should be aiming for Europe.
And if we don't make Europe....is that him off then?

To me if we try and fail that is one thing, if we don't try or just fail that is another.westham,eggyandchips wrote:Couldnt agree more. Whether the players should be coming out and saying it is another matter.

I think coming out and saying it shows some intent - fine by me

Re: Declan Rice
He was excellent today.
It says a lot that he put in such a good performance and it has barely been mentioned. Because he pretty much is doing it every week.
