Guys just write Rice off instantly because of how good he is OOP
When in reality he’s a good build-up player in the right setup. Not a DLP profile or anything
But when he splits the CB’s (something we saw at the back end of last season) he’s very good at increasing the tempo at any moment
Some of our best line breakers last season also came from Rice
Even think about how better our buildup looked vs Atleti (UCL SF) when we dropped Rice to DM and had Zubi higher
Guys just don’t watch enough and form judgements
I’m currently surviving the hardest season of my life. I have no clue what God is up to. Nevertheless, I’m standing in expectation that on the other side of this, there will be joy.
