• To all AM members and guests.

    For the start of the new season, Arsenal Mania has relaunched the news side of the site. All articles are written by genuine Arsenal fans with no hidden agenda. You can visit the site via the menu at the top of the forum pages or go direct to our homepage

    Additionally, Arsenal Mania is now sending all its registered members a bi-weekly Briefing Bulletin containing a digest of news and views from both parts of the site. Some of you may have already received the first edition and those that haven't should do so before the big kick off against United. If you are a guest visitor to this forum then if you join as a member, you will automatically receive the Bulletin.

    Please support both these initiatives and help ensure the long term future of our site.

Declan Rice: Bend It Like Decam

Here since 2009, before Dowman saw the light

Country: England
Never seen a player live off one performance their whole career like this one, it wasn't even that special tbh. This guy should've just learned how to be a deep lying playmaker or a RW instead of trying to be a driving midfielder.

He was really impressive that season

He was very good that whole season, tbf.

If he kept the same style from this year going forward (and obviously didn't become a cripple) he would have been a massive player for both Arsenal and England.

He won like 7 MOTM in a row or something for England too.

He was a top natural footballer, still feel he was a better prospect that even Saka if not for injuries.

He just couldn't get over the fact he was a 5 foot nothing man and it cost him, in his head he was built like Vieira and Gerrard ffs 😅

Was that his debut season? He was good for his age but he never got better than that in his career, it's like he got worse as he got older.

Yeah. Then broke his ankle the next pre-season and became Diaby 2.0

Absolutely unbelievable today. The final 15 mins from him was a true leaders performance.

The boys FOUGHT today.

Great response from him after some poor games. That too despite getting an early yellow.

Good game from him but every time he takes a sharp breath I long for a stand-in that isn't slow or [redacted]. Again I say, I would gladly take Onana off Everton just so that we aren't up sh*ts creek if the worst case scenario happens.

We have to hope Partey is capable of actually starting in some of these tricky fixtures as Rice looks quite good as our 8 and it was much needed. Even taking a half of Jorginho with a half of Partey could be doable. Not sure TP is close to ready, unfortunately. It's going to be aggravating with Havertz at 8 and what not.

Blowing out of his arse by the end, the next two games are going to be gruelling

Partey watching Rice play every minute of the whole season, after he never plays and has just come on...

"Yo Dec I am just gonna conserve myself and slowly screen the back 4...you still good to do all the running, yeah?"

Was on Vinai's payroll; misses 4th place trophy 🏆
The problem every game gonna be important so he have to play it.

He was our best player today but even him looked gassed

Looked good there because the game was open at that point. He's still not the answer in that position for me. Longterm, i'd say he'll be our 6.
