⚽ "Rice has done seven successful through balls in 313 matches for #Arsenal...one successful through ball every 45 games...his output isn't great in providing for the striker". More of Steve Eyre's #FIFAWorldCup feedback. Full chat here - #bbcfootball

Not a particularly useful stat. Rodri is arguably the best player in the world and apparently only has 12 successful through balls in his career.

This is what stupid people think intelligence sounds like. While you're at it, complain that Ferraris don't have adequate cup holders

Been an Arsenal player for 3 seasons how's he managed 100 games a season?

Is this guy retarded? Since when was Rice a number 10 to provide for the striker? May as well put up how many saves he’s made in goal whilst you’re at it

Now look at how many through balls the greatest 6 of all time has completed…

This is like saying Henry and R9 were not good striker because they didn’t score headers like Shearer 😂

313 matches for Arsenal? 😂 He's played 158 games for them you bunch of amateurs. Atleast do your homework before chatting shit

How has he played 313 games for Arsenal in 3 seasons?

Early signs and symptoms of Arsenal Derangement Syndrome. Don’t bother to fact check the lies, question the logic or have an intelligent discussion. Just move on.

Try to play a through ball vs 10 players sitting on edge of their box.

Because he isn't a creative playmaker, you silly sod. Seriously, do people actually watch him, or just act stupid on purpose?

How about his interceptions and defensive work? Cows!

Declan rice is a cdm Rodri is a cdm, their job isn’t to create goals. It’s to stop them from happening. However Rice and Rodri.. constantly get 10/15 premier league goal contributions. You’re witnessing greatness stop highlighting what they can’t do!

What is this nonsense? Rodri has 12 successful through balls since he joined city, no one questions how good a midfielder he is. It seems there’s a cretin on tv or radio every week with a new ridiculous standard for Declan Rice in particular???

Ask any premier league manager or top European manager if they’d have him in their side and they’d all say yes. But some thick northern twat who can’t count for shit, is the expert.

He’s a fucking defensive midfielder lads how the fuck are people saying about him like he’s a 8

Smh. These pundits are useless! We don't know the name of England's goalkeeping coach; therefore, he must be terrible. Declan Rice & thru balls? Not his job! David Raya has scored 0 goals and 0 assists in his Arsenal career; he must be a terrible keeper! Just ridiculous punditry!

You’ve posted this to your page, quoting the amount of games for Arsenal and couldn’t even fact check it? He’s played around 150 games for Arsenal. 313 games in 3 seasons 😂

Ballon Dor winning midfielder Rodri has just 5 more. Maybe it’s like the number 6 isn’t on the field for this?

I guess the bigger question is Who are you 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Doesn’t mean shit

This guy's are talking so ignorantly... They're simply intentionally retarded and foolish... How's rice a DM gling for through balls for striker? How many through balls does Rodri, Caiceda, Casemiro, etc have per game? Stupid analysis!

Are you lieing or just lazy? Declan rice has played 313 premier league games in total. 204 for West Ham and 109 for Arsenal. Took me 2 seconds to find that, can't believe they pay you for this when you cant be arsed to get your facts right.

313 GAMES IN 3 SEASONS????

Does this means Mikel Arteta is way better manager than people actually give him credit for? He uses Rice, Havertz, Gyökeres, Madueke to win the league. These players are constantly being accused of not good enough

Do you know that Rodri, one of, if not the greatest midfielder of a generation has played 12 through balls in his Premier League career? Of course you didn’t. Doesn’t fit the narrative does it? This just shows you have a distinct misunderstanding of how teams like Arsenal play.

He's a center half

Who tf even is Steve Eyre?

I still remember when Arsenal signed Declan Rice. People said Yves Bissouma was better. Then it became Moisés Caicedo. Troy Deeney even compared Rice to Manu Koné, saying Koné was more tactical. Today, Rice has proved exactly why Arsenal invested in him.

Almost like he’s a defensive midfielder and not a attacking/playmaking midfielder 🤔

Play the video on mute and it sounds like he knows what he’s talking about

English pundits have zero ball knowledge no wonder they can’t boast of 5 average coaches in their own league. Rice’s primary job is to win balls not to spray through balls. Rodri only has 12 in his career and he is one of the best in the world but dumbos want rice to turn Zizou

Damning stats. I’ve been saying this about Ride. Great player but a massive liability in buildup and progressive passing.
