During the match Saturday, before he even scored his great goal, I found myself asking “is Rice our best player?”
Just feels like, regardless of game script, he’ll always have an impact, and always gives a 7+ performance. Defenders can be quiet when we’re outclassing opponents, and attackers like Saka and odegaard can be schemed out a bit more like we saw Saturday, but Rice feels like he’s going to be influential regardless.
