Fought off BigPoppaPump's endless Rice trolling just to end up with a much more boring boomer version of the same thing, FML.

But, but, Moises Caicedo is better on the ball

He's world class, imo. His ability to cover space and win balls is unmatched right now, and he contributes to the press, pushes the ball forward effectively, has a long range shot, and is a good set-piece taker. He's not a creative ball progressor or a technician on the ball, but that alone doesn't stop him from being world class.
Wildly different physical profiles but he's very similar to N'Golo Kanté in terms of what he brings to the table. It's no wonder he forms a good partnership with Jorginho.
Maybe
You're wrong, no?
True, but for the position he is playing his ball skills are fantastic

Not to mention he ripped Chelsea apart to make that first goal. His ball carrying is really going up a level in the past 2 games or maybe I didn't see it before

He's a really underrated ball carrier. Really hard to move off the ball.

Turns up only when we lose
Rice was happy not to see Jorginho behind him so he can bomb forward with more license.
With Jorginho there is more hesitation from Rice to go forward as Jorginho is defensively frail and awful in transitions.
With Partey in the team, Rice, Ødegaard and our attackers receive progressive balls much quicker before opposition teams can double up on them.

Been saying this!
Pair him with a prime
jorginho type and that’s still a PL winning midfield. Pair him with like a Prime Pogba and you’re looking at the best midfield partnership in the world.

In an era where players are pigeon holed into certain positions people have forgotten what a classic box to box midfielder is. They can do pretty much everything with some traits more dominant than others. Rice is for me a throw back to a B2B 442 central midfielder.

Kante is a decent comparison tbf.
I think Rice has a bit more about him on the ball, probably not quite at Kate's level defensively.
Both have elite reading of the game, positioning and engine.
Kante is probably our biggest missed signing of the Emirates era. I'd have had him over Suarez even. Loved him as a player.

Kanté-Jorginho was a CL winning midfield, too. Granted it was an underdog title, but the two were basically the biggest contributors as well.

I think it's scandalous that she's being forced off social media because of her appearance.
She looks like the sort that Gdeep would prey on anyway. Best she stays away from Brum.

It reflects really badly on how shallow and classless these trolls are.

Yeah I’ve said this a few times now it often looks like Rice gets caught in two minds when playing with Jorginho and ends up stranded in no-man’s land. Esp when we’re playing against pacey front lines (Bayern, Villa)

Nah isn't yet, but has the potential if his performances continue to improve. However, I don't see it happening long-term under the current style if we aim to win things. He will look great against a disillusioned Chelsea and an injury-ravaged Wolves, for sure.
I can see the comparison to Kanté; they're similar profiles. Rice could certainly reach that level if he performs on the big stage. But in which systems and styles did Kanté look world-class?

He’s looked pretty damn good in 3 games against City and 2 games against Liverpool this season…
