Rice wouldn't get in front of Fabinho.

Fabinho is not rated by Tite.
Why? Fred isn't better than Fabinho either. Or are you implying otherwise?
Yet Rice would be, feck me the logic.
On that basis, using those same stats, Fred is a vastly superior passer than Rice. Agreed?
Mctominay conversely tackles more, blocks more and clears more per 90 minute. Per 90 he also plays more forward passes, more short passes, more long passes, creates the same amount of chances, more passes in his own half and in the opposition half, and (obviously) completes more passes per game.

Rio would buy the entire England team if they make the final, giddy fexker he is.
Well he loved Paulinho and Ralf. Go figure.
Terrible when pressed again there.
Rice's full array of backward passing on display. The slightest bit of pressure and he just gets rid of it to his CBs.
Still waiting to see why Mount is in the team
This Rice is over cooked. Can’t hold on to the ball under pressure.
Feck me, he is getting embarrassed out there.
Being bypassed too easily
Never understood what all the fuss is about.
he does a lot of pointing.

Hiding at the moment.
Showing up all of his weaknesses here. Getting utterly embarrassed the lad.
Bebestation told me England don’t get opened up through the middle despite it happening twice versus Germany, happened about 5 times already here.

He is very rubbish on the ball.
Another incredibly overrated English player.
Fellaini was better on the ball than this lad, though as I write that he has his best moment of the tournament.
See that fire he just put out. Quality
Chelsea can have him. As long as they have Kante, I don't see what he does for them. I don't think he's capable of playing a forward pass.
Denmark just pressing up the middle when Rice has the ball and he sends it all the way back, every time.
Woeful performance

He shouldn't move here for his own sake. Fans will turn on him in the first week.
Fred has qualities thst the Brazilian manager likes. He plays off of Neymar very well.
If they wanted to change that to a more traditional DM then Fabinho walks in ahead of Rice.
Yeah I don’t see why they need him with Kante, Jorginho fits much better.
I think England getting over ran was more to do with Mount and Phillips, but it’s not a great look.
He would be a downgrade on Fred. Never seen a player so coward with the ball at his feet.
Been poor but Phillips has been worse again, tbf.
Both been crap, fortunately our CB’s can play better football than both.
Forget about this game but what you see in Rice overall? For me he is just at McTominay level at max
Rice a completely different type of player to Fred. He shields the defence so much better and would allow Fred to actually okay his natural game without the added responsibility of minding his defence.
Overrated. English media is actually a serious detriment to the game.
I think he’s been ok today. He’s trying to carry the midfield on his own, since Phillips is invisible.
If I posted every time he fecked up I wouldn’t catch a minute of the game, terrible again there on the ball.
He is quite limited on the ball. He would still be a big upgrade on McFred for his positioning alone though.
Cut right through him again there, positioning been crap this game.
Rice AND Fred in midfield? We are trying to improve friend.
Compared to McTominay, Rice is a better defensive screen (positioning, tackling, overall instincts). McTominay is better on the ball and better passer.
McTominay isn't a natural midfielder though, he feels comfortable only on the right side.
I don't see it with Rice. If we're looking for a pure defensive midfielder, Ndidi is still the best bet.
