Declan Rice has marked his Premier League debut appearance for Arsenal against Nottingham Forest this afternoon, and there are no complaints about his performance.
Having recently joined Arsenal for a record-breaking fee, the English midfielder is anticipated to enhance the Gunners’ midfield and assume a prominent role within the team.
Although he has encouraged judgment to be reserved until the end of his tenure, every aspect of his gameplay will be under scrutiny from both critics and fans.
In the match against Forest, Rice showcased his skills and emerged as one of Arsenal’s standout players. TNT Sports has shared statistics from his performance, revealing that he made 102 touches and successfully completed 92 percent of his passes. Additionally, he contributed ten final third entries and secured victory in six duels.
Rice’s contributions were not limited to the offensive side, as he also demonstrated defensive prowess by winning possession five times, executing four tackles, and making one interception, among other noteworthy statistics.
As the season unfolds, the expectation is that Rice’s performance will only improve, making him an asset to Arsenal’s midfield and adding depth to their gameplay.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Rice has made a more than good enough start to life at the club and we should be more than satisfied.
The midfielder will only get better, so we just need to appreciate that he came out of such a tough game with satisfaction.
Not Impressed with Declan Rice @all.
He does not have the ability to Press forward as a midfielder.😕
And that’s TERRIBLE for a player who is only 24yrs old!
Fabregas, Steven Gerrard, Paul AScholes and even Patrick Vieria were midfield Monsters @24years.
Rice seem to like doing the Easy stuffs and is not making any Attempt to Gel with Thomas Partey.😒
Started Wishing we got Youri Tielemman, for a Cheap Free Transfer😌
Honestly, Rice and Havertz are looking like a COLLOSAL waste of Money!😕
Declan Rice is already a midfield monster if you care to observe not sure why you guys try bring man down and don’t tell me you watched the game today cos it’s obvious you did’nt given your out of touch with reality comments.
Ridiculous comments…
and how can he gel with Partey who was playing right back?
Declan rice was unlucky to not be on the score sheet today with three of his well taken long range shots and a volley that were all taken care of by the outstanding turner who was unable to save either of our goals as he had ZERO chance of saving them.in as much as am gutted declan was unable to score i’m happy for matt who put in a solid display which in turn might eventually help get us the add ons in his transfer fee if he can keep replicating these performances.
If you had watched the game you would have noticed that partey played as an inverted RB which means he leaves his position at RB,come into the middle of the park and distribute based on tactical details which means he operates as DM alongside rice who is assigned a more advance role upon having partey arrive at the heart of midfield when in possession.To successfully execute this as we did today takes a team who has already gelled and of high chemistry hence your post is rather the ridiculous one @neil.
Sorry @neil, i thought you quoted me.i agree his comments re Rice are ridiculous but i think he will gel in a line up where partey starts at inverted RB. That aside, anyone noticed declan rice vibing and singing along to the arsenal anthem before the team gathering?? Dude is becoming a legend already lol.
