Declan Rice has been worth at least an extra 10 points to Arsenal this season - the England midfielder should be getting all of the Footballer of the Year awards
The home of their biggest rivals.
Tottenham were treading water, finishing 14th under David Pleat, while Mauricio Pochettino was finishing up with Bordeaux, before a playing swansong at Espanyol. Liverpool will have to get used to life after Klopp — and who knows how that will go? — but there is a talented squad there that will surely be strengthened in the summer.With the finishing line so close, it’s hard to imagine City not winning their remaining three games to make history by winning a record fourth Premier League title in a row.In 2024, the Gunners have been in what is usually title winning form in the Premier League.
The reason I have concentrated on the second half of the season is that is when the pressure really comes on when you are chasing the big prizes — and it proved too much for Arsenal a year ago.Phil Foden of City will probably get all of the Footballer of the Year awards but, to me, they should go to Rice.What exactly has Rice brought to the mix?
One of the major factors in deciding football matches is tempo. When Arsenal need to slow a game down, it’s Rice that invariably does it.There are moments when you have to take the heat out of a game, others when you have to raise the temperature.
