LET'S TALK FOOTBALL WITHOUT BIAS. I think we're doing Caicedo a disservice with the way we compare him to Declan Rice. Caicedo is an elite ball-winner, reads danger exceptionally well, dominates duels and protects his defence. Add his press resistance and ability to progress play from deep, and you have a midfielder who does far more than break up attacks. Rice offers more attacking threat, carries and creativity. Both are exceptional, but they're different profiles. Judging Caicedo by Rice's attacking output misses the entire point. Last season, Caicedo's defensive numbers in tackles, interceptions and duels won per 90 minutes highlighted his superiority in those areas, while Rice offered more in chance creation. If I have my way, I'd play both of them on the same team. #arsenal #caicedo #rice
