The debate over Declan Rice's best position continues among football pundits, with Jamie Carragher defending the Arsenal midfielder against Gary Neville's claims of his limitations as a deep-lying player. While Neville asserts that Rice cannot control the game like Manchester City's Rodri, Carragher argues that Rice offers a more complete skill set. The discussion highlights Rice's versatility, having played various roles for both Arsenal and England. Meanwhile, Carragher's criticism of Manchester United's Casemiro has been met with backlash from former players like William Gallas, who believes Carragher's remarks were too harsh given Casemiro's illustrious career. Gallas emphasizes the impact of Casemiro's environment on his performance, suggesting he might benefit from a return to Spain. As both debates unfold, the scrutiny on players’ performances highlights the pressures they face in the current football climate.
