They mentioned it multiple times that he was a 'complete midfielder' though which I just cannot see. Maybe being oldschool but I think that's more a tag you would put on Essien, Seedorf etc. His metrics this season are insane and certainly suggest he is a complete midfielder. Only City's midfielders get near him for progressing the ball (something he's only started doing this season in a team that doesn't have that much possession) and he's made the most interceptions in the league along with the 5th most tackles won.

Hanshithispantz Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 To add, I'm not comparing Rice to Parker in terms of how good they are, just that when Parker went to Fulham he was regarded as some all action midfielder for some reason.

He's definitely all-action and pretty well-rounded imo, but I agree not 'complete' just yet, as in like an 8/10 at least at most things. Thought we handled him expertly today.

Lush Vlad Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 One for football pet hates “If Messi/Henry/Bergkamp does that we’re all saying how amazing it is.” They do it basically every week, man and we say it every week.

The Prophet Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Great performance from the lads, just a shame about the chronic lack if quality in the final third. I actually felt a bit sorry for Wood today. I love this place, but is the constant pre-match hysteria necessary? We have a competent manager and a side grafting their arses off, have some faith.

Consortium of one Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 really happy with the overall competitiveness of the squad and the result. Only real complaint is the crossing from the FBs. Krafth's always seemed to float to high and too far While Targett's were too whippy and short. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Fantastic point today, especially with how the 3pms went. Fuck knows what he’s doing (or not doing) with Bruno though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
