[Football] Declan Rice

[Curious Orange]

I thought Rice was neat and tidy. Not entirely sure what all the fuss is about to be honest.

 

[Weststander]

Nah, we just let them have the ball back there, so he was never under any pressure

CH's tactics allowed WHU to tit around with the ball in that part of the pitch, passing sideways and backwards. Diop, Rice, Noble had all the time in the world, to get nowhere fast.

That is actually Iain Dowie.

They must be related somehow.

Have you ever seen Iain Dowie, Declan Rice and Sloth in the same room together? Just saying.

Thought the same, great if you want your midfielder to pass the ball sideways. England already have that player in Eric Dier.

Once shared a cable car with Dowie, when away skiing. In a brief chat, he made a bitchy remark about the Albion. Came across as a prick.

Nailed it. I thought the same.

Much more creative than his father, Pat.

Put me down as another thinking the same. Yet another tidy midfielder with no real killer quality typical English midfielder.

Confirmed he’s going to commit his future to England.



After a tumultuous week this is fantastic news.

 

[Weststander]

Has youth on his side to be a better alternative to Dier. He made the right choice.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Whether this is purely a football decision or whether he feels more English we'll probably never know.

However either way, if this was how he felt he should never have pulled a green jersey on for the Irish senior side (3 times).

Looks a massive upgrade on that donkey.

So it’s back to the scouting drawing board for the FAI, in a search for other Englishmen.

Picking England over Ireland shouldn’t guarantee you a place in the England squad against stars such a Lewis Dunk.

Let’s see him develop and prove himself in the Premier League before he joins the big boys.

Well, Southgate says he hasn't promised Rice a place and he now plays in midfield, so....

I reckon he’ll be picked quickly for a friendly or as a sub, to thank him and because Dier can come across as a slow juggernault mobility-wise in the sitting midfielder role.

Getting their own back for Jack Charlton scouting all those Englishmen whose grandfathers once drank half a pint of Guinness for Ireland, then.

I still think Jack Grealish is right up there. You only have to look at the way Aston Villa have fallen apart while he's been injured. And just because you have almost the same haircut as him doesnt mean I look anything like him! Grrrr!
