How good has John stones become since he's moved into midfield. He's become like beckenbauer. His footwork to get out of tight spaces was immense last night. I thought he was city's best player. If only we had enough quality centrebacks for England for him to play that role

They had 4 English players involved

Some disgusting faking from inter. Trying to get foden sent off even though he never touched him. The goalkeeper also needs booking for time wasting

I agree he's not elite yet but once he plays alongside better players he will be

Rice's stats are In the top 10 midfielders in every department in the epl

According to stats last season the championship was the 5th best attended league in Europe

True. His transition play from winning possession and playing a forward accurate pass is statistically one of the best in the epl

Casemiro was fortunate to play alongside kroos and mordric for years. They made his job easier. We won't know just how good rice can be at club level until he plays alongside elite midfielders. He plays alongside Bellingham and its elevated him even more for England playing alongside an elite midfielder at international level. As u say though as an Industrious midfielder he is superb

Roy Keane was brilliant at getting his team to raise their levels. He was a leader but never a dictator of games. The juventus tie in turin in 99 was one of his best performances. He led by example

Rice isn't a dictator (no jokes) his game is based on covering for more technically gifted players. He is supreme at winning back possession. Playing it simple. He does have the ability to make runs with the ball. He's also a much better passer than people give him credit for. I would say kante wasn't brilliant in possession (I know I'll hear how good kante was on the ball, which isn't true). Hes similar to Roy Keane. He's only 24 so his potential is huge. What makes his and Bellingham's partnership in midfield so good is that they both have different strengths. Once he joins a club with better players he'll really shine

I heard about an Italian substitute saying why have England taken off rice in the euros final as he was bossing the midfield at that point

I believe he's up there as one of the top defensive midfielders in the world

He is actually very good at dribbling with the ball. I've seen him do it a number of times

He's a better dribbler. Rodri might be a better passer

On top of that casemiro is 30. Rodri is 26. Both have played with great players. Once rice steps up a level of teammates, he'll become even better

He was phenomenal in the final against Italy. He and Bellingham dominated against France. He is pretty good on the ball. He's better in possession than rodhri

Winning the conference league is like winning the nations league or league cup

He's not world class yet but he's a top class Box to box midfielder

West ham fans are total morons

Friedel Le saux hendry henchoz berg Tugay Wharton Dunn Jansen Shearer duff

Can see ange lasting 6 months there then getting fired. Bigger names than him have failed there. Spurs are a poisoned chalice

My childhood. Button moon. Chocablock. You and Me. Why don't you. These are the more obscure programme

Lets hope Wednesday aren't shithouses like their Sheffield neighbours

Oh right
