      I was pretty sure he would be great but at this point he’s easily on the saka and saliba tier.

          I think Ode is incredible, and he’ll find his form. I just also think he’s much better when Partey is on to give him the ball in space, instead of now where he’s getting intentionally crowded out

          Ødegaard was legit unplayable this time last year. We just haven’t seen the same lately because our attack in general is a bit more lackluster.

          But he is there normally

          Yes. Rice is better than Odegaard. We all love what Odegaard does but Declan Rice is utterly ridiculous. This may sound like hyperbole but he’s arguably our best and most consistent player

            Never said Rice wasn’t, Rice is now undeniably better and more influential than Odegaard

          Not demoted, I think he is world class. Saka for me is top 2 rw in the world and saliba #1cb. Rice #2 defensive mid behind rodri. Ode is great but not yet on that level where he is locked in top 2 at his position.

    You always get the impression that Kai is a good guy in the dressing room. Rice obviously offers that kind of glue; no need to even question his value in that regard.

    I know players have been cutting the socks off at the ankle for years to wear their own. Looks like adidas supply leg sleeves instead now. Assume these aren’t commercially available to buy.
