Declan Rice really a journeyman footballer. £100 million for slow lateral passes. Fulham played some nice stuff and unlucky not to make it 3-1.

Arsenal after 20 games last season had 50 points. With €235m spent in the summer to improve their team/squad further it's certainly a surprise to see them 10 points worse off this season.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Declan Rice not near the quality of player that English journalists and pundits believe he is. West Ham have done just fine without him this season and Arsenal was doing better with Thomas Partey in that role than Rice.

Who did they buy other than Rice ?

Havertz and Timber although they've been unfortunate with him. Also whatever they've agreed to pay for Raya which certainly hasn't helped them.

Timber,Havertz and Raya a €3.34m loan deal. The latter two started today along with Rice.

Is havertz not a chump? Looks like he has ability but rarely uses it.

Rice is quality. Don't know what some people are watching.

100 million is a lot to spend on a central midfielder though. Is he really worth it?

If he stayed with Ireland he would have cost half the price.
He's a decent player but he's not at the level of a Lampard or Gerrard.
This is one of my 3 usernames.

It is tight at the top now. Liverpool in first place have a game in hand but there are just 2 points between first and fifth.

Arsenal need a bigger panel.

he's a totally different player to either he's not there to get double figures of goals each season,comparing him to Lampard or Gerrard would-be unfair.

Rice is very good at what he does, it's not the media that makes him a certain starter for a very good England team.
