The midfielder Declan Rice makes me think of is Owen Hargreaves in his prime. There was one thing Hargreaves did better than any other midfielder I have seen in the P.L (With the possible exception of Kante) - it was his ability to put pressure on an opponent so extremely quickly. Rice has a bit of the same - he is extremely good at winning the ball back and getting close to an opponent. I would say that Rice would be ideal for Liverpool - and with the kind of football OGS wants to play, he will be almost as perfect for us.I don't like that idea to be honest, I don't really see the balance in that. We don't really have an issue on the counter, we have an issue when teams sit deep, so I don't really see how Rice is really ever going to be the answer to our midfield issues.
Him and McTominay would be a very strong partnership in midfield
