‘One of the best I’ve seen live’… Pundit says one Arsenal player is incredible to watch in person

Declan Rice is quickly becoming one of the most highly-rated footballers in the Premier League.

The Arsenal man’s stock has risen exponentially since moving to the north London club.

He’s finally shining at a top club, and while he’s fantastic to watch on TV, Clinton Morrison has claimed that he’s simply another level when you watch him in person.

Indeed, speaking on Premier League Productions, Clinton Morrison has been discussing Rice after his performance against Brighton last week, and he says that he’s genuinely one of the best players he’s ever seen live.

Rice one of the best

Morrison shared his verdict on the midfielder.

“I’ll tell you something, I was at the game, you see Declan Rice, he’s one of the best I’ve seen live. He is a Rolls Royce, he was outstanding an unbelievable performance from Declan Rice,” Morrison said.

Different game

It’s easy to see how good Rice is when you watch the games on television, but, in person, the game is completely different.

When you can see the whole pitch at all times, you notice just how fantastic Rice’s footballing brain is.

The midfielder is always marshalling his teammates, he’s always finding space when his team is on the ball, and he’s always spotting danger and putting out fires when the opponent has the ball.

It’s like watching a different game sometimes when you’re in the stadium as opposed to watching on TV, and Rice is a player who it is so easy to appreciate when you’re seeing the whole picture.

The midfielder does so much that can go unnoticed when you just watch what’s going on on the ball, and we’d recommend that anyone who is lucky enough to see Rice play this season hones in on all of those small details that make him such an important player for Arsenal and England.
