Declan Rice, the midfielder, has also received high appreciation from Ian Wright, who praised Arsenal for earning a point against Liverpool tonight.
With a point from Anfield, Rice gave another outstanding effort in the middle of the park for the Gunners. Considering the opportunities and amount of play on both teams, the outcome felt about correct in the end.
It was another crucial game for Rice to establish his value. Since signing, the Englishman has received a lot of accolades for his performances, and this one was no exception.
Declan Rice gets praised by Ian Wright following Arsenal vs. Liverpool.
Speaking on Rice for Premier League productions, Ian Wright stated that he thought Rice was the main factor in the Gunners’ self-assurance heading into the match.
Given the manner we performed today, I’ll accept that point. Declan Rice was amazing, in my opinion. The game lacked a lot of smoothness, in my opinion. I felt our defence was strong. Wright stated, “Going to Anfield and taking a point is always going to be a good point. Liverpool could have and maybe should have scored that goal.”
“In my opinion, Rice is a major factor in your ability to visit Anfield with assurance. Yes, you would have preferred to see more from Odegaard, Saka, and Martinelli, but you also have to consider it a success for this team to travel to Liverpool, lead by one goal, and end up with a draw.
Rice appears to be a good deal.
With Rice joining the team, Arsenal may not have a top striker, but they most definitely have a top defensive midfield midfielder.
In the summer, when Arsenal paid £100 million for the England player, eyebrows were raised. However, that appears to be a good deal, so Mikel Arteta must be happy.
As Wright points out, Rice appears to have a little bit of everything, and he’s instilling confidence in the other Arsenal players as well.
The midfield player is now demonstrating why there was such a summertime demand for him. Arsenal leads the table at Christmas and has a good chance of taking home the championship.
Therefore, Rice will continue to be important in that title fight.
