Rice told to be quiet and get on with it

Declan Rice has been busy telling the squad what must happen next… like WIN a game!

The captain is also seen regularly on Twitter and Instagram giving opinions on a number of issues.

But his latest comments about the squad becoming unified and doing the business hasn’t gone down that well with Claretandhugh forum follower Cleasm who has made it clear he wants fewer words and more behind the scenes and off field actions from the skipper and squad.

He said:

“Maybe if Rice and a lot of the players put as much effort in on the pitch as they do in their social media posts we may get somewhere.

Rice is not Captain material – too young and to inexperienced despite his career to date;

Dawson is better skipper material  and if this squad want to do something then en masse go to Moyes tell him his training and tactics not working and it needs to change because until someone has the balls to speak up we are going to be back in our usual relegation scrap

So I don’t want to hear that you or the players are angry Rice. Get your backsides off the couch and work…stop posing, stop all the media bull concentrate on the job you are overpaid to do.

CandH says: Got to agree. I can’t believe – even if Twotter had been around – we would have seen Mooro giving it large on social media. And he remains the yardstick by which player behaviour is judged as far as we are concerned.
