Rice fits like a glove so far! His mentality and discipline is outstanding!
As an Arsenal fan, I must salute your objectivity in football discourse. Your allegiance to a club has never blindfolded your judgement.
Having Odegaard, Saka, Rice, Partey and Saliba in the team we have a great selection of worldies! Here's hoping for a fruitful season ahead.
Worldies… funny guy
@Calebwhat type of name is caleb? Wasteman 😂
Man city are miles ahead of those. Kovatic is having a better season than Rice. Been citys best player this season. Rice is nowhere near as good as Rodri. Top player tho really great start. Good on him.
This guy is one of the very few football media people, who can put his own club's bias aside and speak true and honest facts about another club.
It was a very good reflection.
It's called a blag which is what he does for a living and tbf he's very good at it.
"Putting his own club's bias aside and speak true and honest" in front of a camera to earn money is a piece of piss when so many gullible people buy into it.
#supplytodemand
@Gavin Hansford If it's that easy, why don't more of them do it, as it brings in many more clicks/subs/ad money?
So go feed your "gullible" to the gulls!
He's our captain already on the pitch, always instructing, always on for the pass, he's a gem!
I love that guy Declan! I am so ecstatic for his start at the club and I hope he continues developing. What i also wish to see, is that hopefully future football players look at a player like Declan and becomes inspired to be like him. A leader, a no nonsense guy and a guy who works his ass off for the team, so we can hopefully can get less of the Neymars, Brunos and Mbappés. They are all excellent football players but I really wish to see more players with the attitudes and work ethic of players like Rice.
Everyone talked about Caicedo but the difference between the two is Declan brings so much more to the team… he is a leader above all leaders and has the drive, passion and winning mentality to take this Arsenal side to new heights!!!
4 games in and the online experts already know...just like they knew 4 years ago when they said Arteta the Clown's 'The Messiah' and 4 months ago when they told us he's winning the league
@Gavin HansfordI bet you were amongst the "experts" that used to say and believe that Arsenal were getting relegated at the beginning of last season. 😂
What is that height 8 th place🤣🤣
@Gavin Hansford Zero games in after winning a friendly and utd fans were already gassed about what they're gonna do to Arsenal. Just take the L and cry more #SaltySaltymanUtd 🧂🧂🧂🧂
Dey play.. What can rice bring to gunners, how I wish u guys should buy beans with it.. Una never see anything.. Liverpool fans here.. U cNt see Top4 ds season
I wanted Moses Caicedo at Arsenal, but I am thankful that the manager went for him. I could see a lot more coming from him. I think he brings a lot more than Caicedo. Suddenly we no longer care much whether Partey plays or not. He will even get better. He's already starting to progress the ball forward more something he was not very good at in WestHam.
Well apparently we would have still gone for Rice regardless of Caicedo coming in January or not.
Once again, honest and unbiased reporting, which is why I keep coming back.
Once again deluded Arsenal fans believing anything which is why i keep coming back to laugh at the fools
@Gavin Hansford🧂
Terry, this video has been brilliantly narrated and presented mate........ fantastic job, keep up the great work!!!
Another great video, love how u can be so honest an neutral wen talking about other clubs than ur own. Very eloquent and genuine 👍🏻
Can’t have a day without Arsenal love from Terry
Unbiased opinion my friend ..
Excellent articulate analysis as always
Sorry it upsets some folk
@Robbie Carty definitely not unbiased 😂 he’s chatting waffle
Need that Assna views and revenue since their fanbase is starved for approval from everyone
You are absolutely right. Every time I watch his game it's amazing to watch how he plays. He is adding winning factor in the game.
But will end up winning nothing just like every Arteta hasn't under him
Playing with Partney is already rubbing of on him. The first few games he was playing the ball sideways, but like Partney he has started to break the lines as well as play the ball forward into feet.
Rice said Arteta is training to be an 8 as well
Forget Partey. That guy will be injured most of the season.
Playing with Partey is already rubbing off on Rice as his wife's about to divorce him after catching him playing away
@Kit Johnson Partey is still better than Rice when fit.
@Gavin Hansfordracist
Rice has fit in at arsenal straight away and got 2 man of the matches in 4 games he's a soild prem player
Wait dont speak so soon havent plAyed anyone decent
Ward Prowse has been easily as good as has Kovatic.
Let me give u sum advice if rice didnt have a gud start u fans wud be saying he needs time to gel and get to know the players wen he has a gud start u say he has fitted in well thats called double standards which majority of arsenal fanbase have.if arsenal win the fa cup we the best cup team and if we loose we have bigger fish to fry
Rice doesnt have to do anything to get a motm award at arsenal and saka doesnt have any competition to be arsenals player of the season arsenal will not have a better or equal player to any of the arsenal first team so they can use the excuse that they dont av anyone who is better to take his place abd they can get away wid poor performances which is a weak tactic cus the club does not want to spend money on better players just keep deadwood as a last resort cus they have already saved money on a transfer fee for example putting nketiah on a 100 grand a week 5 year deal is much much cheaper then buying a better replacement that cost abt 50 mil plus wages..100 grand x 4 x12 x5 = much cheaper
I dunno about WORLD CLASS but his Definitely one of Arsenal's best players👍 FOR WORLD CLASS LOOK AT RODRI
The passion in his eyes when he speaks shows he is a Man thats united with Assna!
Rice or terry? 😂
I really like this guy’s objective views on football. New subscriber here. 👍
Spot on Terry. Rice is still growing in the team
This is now the true journalism. Honest and objective punditry. A joy to watch Terry behind the mic.🙏
Rice hasnt been brought in to score goals, hes been recruited to reduce our goals conceded by 10-15 goals.
I don't think England have ever had a midfielder so well rounded in attack and defence. Yes, he hasn't been prolific in front of goal for WHU but if he is able to add that to his game, we are talking about one of the best midfielders England has ever had.
Rice and Jude can bring it home
What?
I really hope you aren't serious.
I wouldn't say he's so well rounded in attack. If anything, it's bellingham who is the more rounded midfielder of the two.
I could legitimately name at least 50 English midfielders that have been better than Rice.
I’m Arsenal fan but believe after every Arsenal match I always come to terrys channel , im so used to it more than AFTV 🙂
Same here, I rarely watch AFTV can't stand most the delusional characters on there, unless its Troopz, Yardman, Dan Potts, people like that who keep it 100 I can't listen to the waffle of most the others.
Facts
I absolutely agree with the aftv comment
Respect Don Robbie.
Jude Bellingham to Real Madrid had already happened, meaning Rice was only the most expensive English player to join an English club, and within weeks the most expensive transfer became Caicedo, I am not saying this matters however, because Rice is one of those people with a certain unknockable confidence. His pre-season games were nothing to write home about, but you could see in his behaviour and actions, he was very much adjusting, and it hasn't taken him long, he is a very intelligent player.
Rice is the player who will give u a 7 or 8 in every game he play. Gutted Chelsea did not get him. Rather get him then Caicedo. And also not to mention Rice is the experience player and captain which we need.
A true football fan can analyze and understand football ,if a team is better than yours. You must be able to look at that team and love how they play,because football is a thing of magic its beautiful
Decan rice is the player that AFC has lacked since
The appearance and disappearance of the
Invincibles and the character that they disappeared with. He will be the ice breaker in afc
Competitions for silver wears. I assure the AFC
Family.
People haven't twigged yet, you can put Declan in any team in the World and he starts at 6 in every single one of them.
Eh, even in the prem Rodri might start in front of him
@Ace360x .MLG
Re-read my comment, Rice is the best out and out 6 in the business. Rodri may be a bit more progressive but Rice will eat him for breakfast in a one on one, dude's a beast.
People haven't twigged yet, put him in the Arsenal team and he's winning fcuk all just like every other Arteta signing hasn't
@darthwiizius I think we agree mostly. I don't think either of them our traditional 6s but Rodri has that balance in a possession based side. I think rice could be better within 6 months though, he himself has said he's having to learn a lot
@Ace360x .MLG
Absolutely mate, I'm not going to assert that Declan will match Rodri on technical ability because to be frank he's never had that side developed. His coaches have needed him to be in beast mode all the time, for West Ham to literally keep them in the league and England to protect our dodgy Slabhead based defence. We bought him knowing that at worst we get the best defensive 6 in the business but if we can get a bit more culture out of his game we have a true World class player on our hands. Having said that if Havertz can't pick up his game and we keep starting him we'll end up holding the lad back in beast mode every game, not comfortable with that guy in MF.
one top coach once said when asked what makes a player?he said,simple,one that can keep the ball.rice does that in abundance and that's why he will become world class
Was it 'top coach' Julian from AFTV who said that?
It's so amazing how much rival fans want Rice to fail. It's so amazing to see them enter their shells in shame. That is why they take it all out on Haverts but him too will come good
Nah just speaking the truth despite hurting after Man Utd’s defeat
Big up respect Tel
Many folk can’t or won’t ever understand it …
Just so I know there is not any agenda here, lets take a look back. When Haaland came to City he arrived with an average goal/game ratio for the past 3 years of about 1. If ever there was a time to produce a video stating how a single player could possibly win a team the league, it would unequivocally be a video about Haaland. And yet, no such video by FT exists.
Now fast fwd to the present and all of the sudden, again, presuming FT has no agenda, FT produces a video stating that Rice could win the PL for Arsenal. What am I missing here? Yes Rice is a great defensive player and I have no doubt that he has strengthened Arsenal and will add the occasional goal, but to go so far as to say Rice is more of a difference maker in the context of winning the league for Arsenal than Haaland was for City...really? I would certainly like to know more about how.
Simply because city were already champions when Harland came in. It’s not a difficult concept to grab. Your time are world beaters already man, stop looking for validation and your ego stroked further at every turn.
@Mikey Mike Apologize for triggering you. And no not liking for any type of ego-stroking but rather calling out agendas when I see them. If you’ve been a viewer if this channel for a while you’ll know that a lot of ppl think Terry simps for Arsenal or that he’s a closer Arsenal fan as he always seems to have so much positive energy for them but it’s not so much the case with other clubs or even his alleged MU. If a channel is a City channel or MU channel Arsenal channel, then I expect to have partial, biased content there
However, if you purport to be impartial but the content you put - like this video - out contradicts it, then I’ll call you out for it as I did here. If Terry was so impartial, then why doesn’t he discuss a few other players who could do the same he alleges Rice can? Are there no other players in the whole league that could potentially single handedly help their team to win a PL? Sure there are. And yet it’s only for Arsenal.
Question is: why? I think it’s prob bc he knows how pathetic and emotional most Arsenal fans are as they often suffer from inferiority complexes, weak mentalities and an innate need for social acceptance. Just look at what most of their fans say and do. So within that purvey, it makes sense, but it still contradicts his dictate that he is impartial. Hopefully your tiny mind can comprehend what I’ve said. But more likely you prob are one of those Arsenal fans and will reply with some name calling and stupid attack that doesn’t speak to a single thing I’ve said. Please prove me wrong…
@The Mad Hatter says the guy writing essays lol
@Mikey Mike Mike!! you proved my point LOL
Can’t wait to see him in the ucl.
Well you're not going to see him in the flesh Jaffa
Wurtless
Look forward to your video on Dominik Szoboszlai who coming from another country has had more of an impact than Rice and cost some 40 million less
This is the issue sometimes with content creators. While Declan Rice is a good player what evidence is there in the 4 games played to suggest he will help Arsenal overtake Man City. If you argue that you cannot write off a player after 4 games how can you make a definite judgement the other way?
Thank you 🙌it's why I can't get my head around these arsenal players/club hypes all the time it's like he wants to force us to see what's never there with arsenal other than their deluded fans who'll only help any channel who lavish them with unnecessary praise/hype🤣. Westham have started nicely no mention of them or City and others 🤔 but some low iq fanboys will say he's a football man, don't get me wrong Terry is great guy but he's pretending like every others most times
Finally I thought I was going crazy and was the only one who noticed and manipulative terry can be. He will make a good politician though.
He said " he could" , b4 you start judging understand the entire context of the statement
@ishmahke9824 please relax you're just trying to look for excuses as usual fanboys doe's everyone here listen and understand before making comments
Terry has no hate for Arsenal. So he can be honest. What he's been also saying about he's team is also true
I'm convinced you're an Arsenal fan.
Happy wife, Happy life!
You don't know this, but Jess is holding a shotgun in one hand, camera in the other
@no Di 😆 🤣 😂
😂😂😂😂
@no Di😂😂
Declan’s physical profile mixed with talent makes him very special
Wouldn’t say he’s that naturally gifted too be honest. I think it’s more his mind.
@ELJAYThink his bumbly running style conceals what is actually very sound ability, just doesn't always look as smooth.
You are honest with your opinions and that is why I watch your videos
If Arteta continues to start Havertz at 8, there’s nothing Declan will do that will put Arsenal ahead of City
I Love watching your channel more than any other Arsenal Channel 😭😭💯
You always speaks facts that's why i no longer Watch AFTV if not Terry's show No other one
Speaks volumes about Terrance's unbiased opinion on Arsenal.
Your messages are very touching in facts I don’t like to miss any of your show cause U alway says the truth, your words & messages are so strong
He is an excellent player but Kovatic has settled into the man city team even easier and is doing just as well. Possibly citys player of the season up too now. Well thats the opinion of many who go. Ward Prowse as well for wesh ham . Same story. Those two have gone under the rador tho.😮
The only un biased United fan i have ever seen big up terry✌️
No one talks about the saka pass, rice goal and Johnny Evans securing the goal
damn terry you got in your motivational speaker bag on this one 😂
If he helps them win the PL or UCL and conscient this whole season the majority of it then yes maybe at the moment his top class. World Class the same level as Mbappe, Haaland, KDB, Salah, Lew, Kane, Neuer, Alisson, VVD and a few others and he hasn't reached their level yet.
It's not down to one player it's a team effort
Pepe wasn't given a proper run of games, he's actually a baller
He was loaned back to France to get that game time, yet nothing!! Why didnt any good enough club come for him? Even money spender Saudi ignore him.
People are sheep and hate tho
Just watching him play you could tell he was a baller
One deflected strike doesn't make a player world class. Why does our midfield look bereft of creativity? Does he contribute anything going forward. Yes he is defensively solid but it was man United, who practically plays without midfield. Even elneny would have looked world class against them
Late nyt lap dance for Tels Arsenal fans 😮💨😂
They're all knocking one out for only being 2 points behind City after 4 games
As an Arsenal fan I love terrys honest attitude, hes the best on CZcams id rather listen to terry then aftv
One good game and all of a sudden he can win Arsenal the league.
Rice is special and has slotted in perfectly but if Arsenal are to win the league they have to get another striker.
I agree but at the same time look at the arsenal squad, every single player has a level or 2 to go. When they hit that they will be unstoppable.
Rice scores against man u and he's world class hilarious
Rice scores against man u.
And he's world class.
You were so close
@Pee Jay he’s definitely not world class. Settle down.
@ELJAY neither was VVD, until he was
@Pee Jay VVD plays for a big UCL winning club...if Rice was world class then so would he
These Assna fans are deluded as hell and Terry is becoming their ring leader
Arsenal need to figure out what to do with Havertz before they can win the PL
One deflected goal….. he’s good but never world class!!! No other top team would have him!!! Could you see him at City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich
City bid 90m for him tho 🙄
@Ryan it was all games my brother, if city really wanted rice, they would have put the bid out of arsenal reach 😂😂😂
The reactionary merchant, let’s have these talks in February, even Pogba looked good in the beginning
Imagine if city got him just to keep him on bench. Arsenal did the league a huge favour.
What? Who?
if city keep him on the bench. that weakens arsenal but what’s that got to do with the rest of us?
Imagine if Rice was actually good enough to start for big UCL and treble winning club Man City?
And we have not even properly had Timber to lock that defence
Just shows utds intent on being the biggest team in England like years back because if they were anything like they used to be we would of never got near signing rice at all
Welcome to Arsenal Terry, we welcome you with open arms 🤗🤗🤗
Declan has made a bigger impact so far than Moises.
Nah man Moises has been responsible for 2 goals against. Declan just scored his first, Moises always has his hand in the result 😂
Caciedo is quality but he’s not a leader like rice Declan rice reminds me of gerrard not technically but mentality.
Up until the signing of Caicedo, ENZO Fernandez was still the most expensive premiere league signing in history mate.
As an Arsenal fan, I've enjoyed watching him help this team perform, but part of me also wonders if part of the reason is maybe he's part of the reason the team isn't performing. Tifo Football had an interesting video about how Arsenal aren't building up through the middle effectively compared to last season. In it, they discuss Rice's ability to receive, turn, and dribble upfield. (Something Pep clearly is targeting with all the dribbley bois he's been recruiting this season.) Until they mentioned it, I hadn't even noticed it or thought about it. But now I'm going back & re-watching the games (especially Fulham) and I'm just noticing a lot of things that I hadn't that were a little more difficult to ascertain. For instance, I thought Trossard had a bad game, but really, he's a little like Havertz in that game, doing a lot of things that fly under the radar that you normally wouldn't notice.
Which makes me wonder, is Rice actually meant to be the flash that everyone sees so that our attackers can disappear and reappear a little later a few feet from goal taking their shots. Is that part of this unpredictability Arteta is fostering? It's weird. I've enjoyed having Rice on this team, but I'm curious if maybe there's a flaw there that we've not noticed yet. Because if everyone is honest, that game against MU was stilted & we used the thing everyone wanted: last season's formation. Is the issue that Rice & Havertz aren't on the same page and it's causing our teething problems? Is his passing in the middle that issue? That's where I'm concerned. But everything he brings, is it worth it? Most probably yes.
Havertz is our Achilles heel. Unfortunately Arteta is too bull headed to recognize it 😢
@Rosie Daniels I'm not there with you on Havertz. I think the fact that Arteta keeps pointing out what he's doing right and where he's not getting service is a point about other issues being the issue.
Tifo Football had an interesting video???
all depends on how we do vs city.
City will most likely win the league again. Arsenal need to revert back to last seasons system and Arteta needs to stop complicating everything and Liverpool have to keep Salah. Those are the two teams to challenge City and if both fuck up then it will be a super dull season this year. tbh I think Salah might leave which leaves Liverpool with 4 attacks until January. They would be 1-2 injuries away from a major crisis and Diaz is injury prone. Either way City will win the league again unless if Haaland and Rodri get injured which means their spine of Haaland, KDB, Rodri would be missing but that is less likely than Arteta complicating things or Liverpool selling Salah.
U all saying he is an arsenal fan..this guy is not an arsenal fan .he is a great content creator .he knows arsenal has a large fan base and any content regarding them will boom.. wisdom
He is not a bitter fan like most of the people are.
No he’s not he’s a steady Eddie!!
I’ve had enough of rival fans thinking only Declan rice can win arsenal the league, they have saka, martinelli, odegaard, Gabriel, saliba Jesus etc rice is just a piece to the puzzle that is defo not complete yet
Any team worth their salt would have had a man on Rice, or would have at least got to him sometime THIS YEAR, as he played keepy uppy EIGHT F*CKING YARDS OUT, then hit a shot which was deflected in by the guys who were sleeping on the job, and here we all are waxing lyrical about how he's gonna win the league?😂
As a certain Mr Keane would say"DO ME A FAVOUR!"
😂😂😂
I think if Declan Rice would be able to carry the ball forward when under pressure he could become Worldclass
I think if Declan Rice moves to a big club he'll win something
@Gavin Hansford he already won something
Keep up the vids bro. Love spending my free time watching your vids 👏🏾
Your honesty is truly appreciated .
City could go unbeaten this season, they dont usually start to hit form until January, and this season theyre already flying. KDB hasn't even kicked a ball yet.
Hit the deckland Rice will only win the Community Shield with Arsenal, that’s all folks
Was Jack Grealish also not a £100 mil player? I mean he won a treble. So he, Rice and Can Dyk proved their price tags.
According to Arsenal fans Declan Rice is the Messiah.
According to West Ham fans he's not
Big up yourself Terry. Garry Neville said the same
Declan Rice would have rotted if he had gone to MU like so many of MU’s big stars like Ibra, Pogba and Sancho. MU is now the graveyard of football’s best talents like Liverpool before Klopp.
We wont, Terry😄 Saka dont get rest - Arteta never bench him and Edu refuse to buy a player who is good enough quality like Moussa Diaby - Villa to rotate with Saka
I like your new hair cut, enjoy the evening.
I am more worried about Sancho such a great talented wasted if he dont get playing minutes at Mu☺
Sancho needs a reset, maybe going to someone like a Brighton to get playing time and rebuild his confidence might be a good idea. He's certainly trying his hardest to be released.
All you need is a good start as an expensive player, the 105 million will barely get a mention now, that pressure should be off him now
Terry with all due respect you are the epitome of a real football fan💯🌟
An unbiased demeanour to the truth and the analytics.
You are my Champion of football shows on the entire Internet🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Keep it up💯👊🏾
No one player makes a winning team but without a player like rice ,,the term midfield general ,has gone out of fashion but now odegaarde can play much further ip and our very talented front players will get much more room and much more time ,by which i mean bare inches and bare seconds ,but these are what opens defences... pray for jesuses knees ,, remember if you want the gods to laugh,tell them your dreams... C.O.Y.G. SUPPORT UKRAINE FREE AND AT PEACE
Terry is playing mind game. Stay clear our Rice don’t put pressure on him. Talk about your Casamiro, Fernandez and co. We are good thanks 🙏🏾 😂😂
He doesn't lose the ball and I love the fact he keeps the ball moving making quick passes in a very simple way, and defensively sound.
I was looking at the Thumbnail, and i thought do i see right that Terrace is getting younger?? xD then i looked again and terrace got a haircut. Nice haircut mate
He should 100% have that Arsenal armband next game.
Odegaard is the captain bro
why would u give him the armband after 4 games?
You are just saying stuff
@Mdot Really? Then why does he always get subbed?
Treble is too far fetched, Terry😂 I’m a gooner but that’s ridiculous
& Havertz can cost ARSENAL THE LEAGUE
Sure, but it isn't arsenals title to win. It's cities, yet again. Seeing as they clapped arsenal for the 20th league game in a row last season and then grabbed the title I thought you'd realize that.
There are MANY players that can lose ANY club the League mate!
Shoulda Coulda Woulda is a mugs game!
@Natster Jam The Shoulda Coulda Woulda game that Arsenal fans have been playing since 2004
@Gavin Hansford There are MANY fans that play the shoulda woulda coulda game mate!
If you wanna generalise, you go ahead.
You would be a fool but that's your game.
If every channels can speak honeslty like this am sure they will be make millions.
Dont worry LFC & Man City will be contesting the title.
Bang on Terry, imo if Fergie was Boss of Utd today he'd have Rice snatched up straight away i can see why your saying he looks like a Man Utd player because you know what quality looks like.
Imho Liverpool will have to win the league without a 6 in order to prove that 6s aren't necessary.
😂😂this can never be me
Keep speaking from your heart...Rice Will be the Best English player ever.
Rice will certainly be the best Irish player for England
Lool... Bellingham is universe class then 😂😂
Pound for pound surely West Ham were by far the highest spenders in Conference League. Winning that was actually failure, they should have been in Europa League Final. Glasgow Rangers had a better achievement the previous season.
