What Gareth never seems to grasp, is that Rice is coping on his own at Arsenal against far superior opposition on a weekly basis than he would normally face playing for England, where there are probably no more than half a dozen teams in World football capable of offering the threat Rice faces in the PL playing for Arsenal. Nevertheless, now having doubts about Phillips, the search is on for his successor to babysit Rice in England's forthcoming games against the might of Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia.Quote:
