We are stable enough with 2 CM-s, we more struggle with creativity, like against Zenit. Actually we are struggling in midfield this season. Lukaku stays high on the pitch, teams are packing the middle even more. Which attacker actually provides creativity? zenit actually forced us to play out wide and again packed the middle.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) Great assist again. He still doesn’t score but at least he has developed a knack for releasing vertical passes at the right moment. Most of our players are terrible at this but his sublime assist vs villa was no fluke. his fifth assist already this season. Finally provides the output his technical class warrants Edited October 23, 2021 by Magic Lamps Stats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,942 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Such a puzzling player. He has played two of the best through balls of the season but in other matches his forward passing is abysmal. Still, he’s such a vital player and when in form is one of the best midfielders around.

Vesper 30,213 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Declan Rice: West Ham star picks the top 5 current Premier League midfielders https://www.givemesport.com/87974558-declan-rice-west-ham-star-picks-the-top-5-current-premier-league-midfielders Declan Rice has evolved into one of the world’s very best midfielders over the past couple of years. He’s undoubtedly West Ham United‘s most important player these days and will be promoted to permanent captain once Mark Noble retires at the end of the 2021/22 season. Rice is also one of the first names on Gareth Southgate’s England team sheet, which is a hugely impressive feat for a 23-year-old who doesn’t play for one of the Premier League’s established ‘top six’ clubs. If you were to ask most fans of the English game who the current top five midfielders in the top-flight are, Rice would probably feature in the majority of lists. But what would the West Ham man’s answer to that same question be? Well, thanks to BT Sport, we now know. The broadcaster sat down with Rice and asked him who he believes are the five best midfielders in the Premier League right now (excluding himself, obviously) and the player’s selections are mighty interesting. As well as making some slightly rogue calls, the young superstar provided some fascinating insight to partner each choice. Rice’s picks in order: Mateo Kovacic (Chelsea), Bernardo Silva (Man City), Rodri (Man City), Paul Pogba (Man Utd) & Yves Bissouma (Brighton). So, the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, N’Golo Kante, Fabinho, Jorginho and Rice’s best pal Mason Mount all miss out. Fair play, Declan. It just goes to show that footballer’s see the game slightly differently compared to those watching from the comfort of an armchair or in the stands. Most fans would rank Kovacic as Chelsea’s third-best midfielder behind Kante and Jorginho, but Rice doesn’t think that way having played against the Croatian maestro on numerous occasions. “He’s incredible, you don’t realise how good he is until you play against him,” Rice said about Kovacic. “He can take the ball in tight areas, his dribbling ability is unbelievable, he can find a pass, he can control games and is fairly quick as well.” Rice’s opinion of Pogba is also rather eye-opening, the West Ham ace stating that the former Juventus man is one of the three best players he’s ever come up against. “My second game for West Ham was actually at Old Trafford, we lost 4-0, I came on with hour an hour to go,” Rice said after picking Pogba. “He ran the show. I went into a 50/50 with him and I was like ‘What have I just ran into?’. He was rock solid. He was so strong.” As for his Bissouma call, well, that’s just yet more proof that the Brighton man is destined for Premier League greatness and it’ll be a huge surprise if he doesn’t earn a move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs in the summer. And when it comes to Silva and Rodri, we don’t need to add much, do we? They’re both world-class and would make probably 75% of top fives at a minimum.

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I know its reactionary to look to sidelined players after horrible matches, but we're missing this guy big time. We play with a lot more assurance in CM when he's around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimmas 131 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) I guess I'm not the only one who think midfield pair of kovavic and enzo doesn't work really that well. Decent pairing but not complement each other. Just decent but nothing special. Actually field kovavic on the field together with enzo actually brought another problem. It's basically make enzo as our DM. Make enzo playing much deeper, that just make him less fundamental, less influential in our play Playing enzo most of the time as our DM, not only make our defence like get protected by player who isn't supposedly play as pure defensive midfielder, who should has strong physicality, great positioning, awareness and tactical understanding to play as world class dm, but also hide certain important attributes that make enzo special as midfielder Edited March 1, 2023 by dimmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
