Relationship ended with Rice if he ever Tonya Hardings Øde ...

So interesting. Mikel works on the detail so much. Recon advice on body orientation is a big reason we’re seeing Havertz improve

Coombs

lorddulaarsenal Arteta is obsessed with body position in each situation. Saw a video of him coaching at City ranting at Sterling about how to receive the ball when near the touchline.

that was the vid that convinced many gooners he was the man for the role. +That other All or Nothing citeh vid showing him explaining JDP tactics.

Ode, Rice and Havertz each ran 11,4km on Sunday. They must’ve been shattered.

Now try to imagine that game with Rice playing against us in place of Kovacic.

Qwiss

Claudius also for the first time its a game where if you swapped Ode and KDB we'd have been worse for it.

JazzG

Didn't those three also play twice for their international teams as well? Unreal effort by them.

Rice showing against City what we have missed in midfield, De Bruyne may have lost a yard in pace but still enough to skin most players but Rice completely shut him out.

JazzG

hmmm, didn't give much away but I have noticed Rice does speak sometimes a bit too openly.

Qwiss

Needs some lessons from Tight Lips White.

goon

Not impressed with him as a left 8 I must say. He's had a couple of decent games there but as a 6 he looks world class. With Jorgi starting to drop a little I'd be tempted to drop him back.

Qwiss

goon showed again today why he's not good enough at 6. Leave him in the 8.

Gazza M

goon our best spell has come with jorgi at pivot and rice higher though?

regardless, he looks to have hit a wall. its his first season at a CL club. will take alot of learnings from how to pace himself

goon

Qwiss

We dominated that first half and got the ball into the Villa final third time and again.

The second half has nothing to do with him, the whole team stopped pressing and dropped off.

Mirth

Agreed - he’s not a 6 in this system

Big Willie

He was never a 6. Dunno why people were clamouring for him to play there. Defensively yeah he can do it, but we can't get a hold of the game.

Coombs

He's a 6. If he's our 8, we've wasted 100 mil.

Qwiss

Coombs he can't consistently make smart passes out of pressure, he doesn't have the technique or the vision. He's a box to box midfielder.

Coombs

Qwiss maybe he needs to play in a double pivot, but he's certainly not an 8/10 like Odegaard. Playing next to a volume passer makes sense, but his real strength is in his defending, not his attacking, and he's wasted higher up the pitch.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Not sure where he's best, and his technical level is 7 out of 10.

Qwiss

Coombs he's not an 8/10, he's an 8. Like I said box to box player. I think what he gives us is the opportunity to get a very good technical deep lying playmaker this summer and stop Ode needing to drop so deep.

Gazza M

Coombs his defense isn't wasted higher up the pitch. we're not a team that need someone always sitting deep to break things up like its 2005. we defend high, and having rice positioned higher has been a big part of why we've completely suffocated teams

we'll be a better team once timber settled into left back and we get a technical pass master at the 6

Coombs

Qwiss he's more like Kante than Barella. Everyone is a box to box midfielder these days, the term doesn't mean much anymore. He's a ball winning midfielder and his role should be to win the ball.

Qwiss

goon I thought he was poor. Arteta doesn't trust his distribution either which is why he plays Zinchenko when he moves Rice to DM.
