COMMENTARY

Last season Declan Rice was making a name for himself at West Ham by being a regular presence in the club’s defence but this season he continues to amaze a large number of supporters when starring in the club’s midfield. This was once again the case when the Hammers defeated Birmingham City 2-0 in the FA Cup on Saturday as many supporters of the London club were blown away by the teenager’s performance once again. One claimed that Rice owned the field due to the way he ran the game while another claimed he was on a different level to most of the players on the pitch. It’s clear to see that the 19-year-old is a fan favourite amongst supporters and it’s easy to explain how that has come to be the case. Rice is so consistent with his performances, which is a rarity for a player his age, and fans have come to rely on him in games where some of his teammates struggle to deliver the goods. However while Hammers supporters were practically in awe of the teenager against Birmingham, he wasn’t the only one deserving of having his name draped in praise.
