Your comments have given me much food for thought.

A Chelsea fan is definitely the place to go for a balanced view of Declan Rice's performance

The pass to the linesman was definitely the pick of the bunch for me :biggrin:

Declan Rice: Joint 3rd for most interceptions in the league last year and had the 4th most tackles.

Glad to see Declan's Cardiff based fan club is expanding at a rapid pace :thumbup:

Why does he have to be the new anybody? He can just be Declan Rice. He is similair to a young Gerrard in that hes box to box but that doesnt mean he has to be the new Steven Gerrard and achieve everything Gerrard did in the game. Gerrard is one of the best players in the history of English football in his position and would be worth a lot more than 70m in todays market.

By your logic Ampadu should be a generational great considering some of the players you've compared him to.

I think after this season Ampadu will be almost exclusively a centra back

Nah, it’s the phaal that does the arse in.

Very poor play allowing the Arsenal goalscorer to stroll into the box unhindered like that. I've seen better play down Splott Park after a night on the beer.
