To everyone who has got their knickers in a twist about not including KDB, in other videos he has talked about how world class he is and his crosses. It's just fun to list other great players, how boring is it to list the same players all the time. They get asked these questions almost daily.

Kova is very underrated by other fan bases for some reason. We love him at Chelsea.

Kovacic is sooo underrated man

Glad kovatic is getting the recognition he deserves!!!

Really interesting 5, no De Bruyne or Kante but 5 quality players

Bissouma is unreal. Great shout

Just genuinely surprised he didn't pick Mark Noble 😂😂😂

I love how he talks about Pogba. Respect to rice ❤

Great to see bissouma get some love wanted him at chelsea for 2 years now he basically plays centre mid on his own in brighton's system he's an unreal player

Love that Bissouma shout he's got a bit about him Rice.

Summed up pogba perfectly 👏

His real 5 is Kovacic, Kante, Mount, Jorginho & Himself 😂😂

Some say Pogba is rubbish for united but he holds onto the ball so well and his passing is one of the best in the world. Agree with everything Declan said about him because that’s what I’ve noticed

Rice speaking facts about Pogba 😤😤

They asked him to pick HIS best 5 that he has played against 👌

It definitely pissed people off that he picked Pogba, Love to see it. 😆

I can deff see a Bissouma bidding war in the summer

How are Kante and De Bruyne not in there?

Kova massively underrated even by Chelsea fans

How he's left out KDB, Kante and Fabinho I've no idea.

Amazing 5 I really love that pogba shout True football fans appreciate pogba

People moaning how he's left out certain players. I think Dec is more than qualified to pick his top 5. He's played against them all. So he's gone with the ones he finds hard to come up against. He pocketed kdb everytime I've seen them play eachother.

Where is Jonjo Shelvey?

Fabhino is so underrated

I like how his first choice is a Chelsea player 😂

Glad Rice switched it up with his selection

Finally someone putting respect on Kova. He's arguably a top 3 midfielder in the prem rn with a goal of the year frontrunner under his belt.

He’s just a great guy I loves how he talker respectfully about his mates.pogba is a great player though but he’s never serious

Great vid

Just goes to show how good the prem is when he’s missed out players like foden, mount, kante, Fabinho,neves, ward-prowse etc

He made sure to say Kovacic because that'll be his midfield duo partner next season I'm sure

literally misses out the best midfielder in the world ( KDB )

Great to see him name so many underrated midfielders.

This just goes to show how much quality there is in the premier league, every team literally has top top players, barring maybe burnley, norwich, and newcastle who have like 1 or 2.

This man knows ball! People will wonder why he didn’t mention KDB or Bruno. He’s a cdm who recognizes Cdm’s 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I’m a cdm & i think such players have been in the shadow for a every long time since Keane & Vieira. To his list you’d add Kante but I don’t think anyone would be surprised with his list & I highly rate Kovacic he’s one of the few cdms who can control tempo of the game & it’s rarely talked about! Chelsea have thrived on him so much but it goes unnoticed

Kante and KDB are 2 best in PL when fit, those 2 are elite of the elite, rest are good players

Kovacic, Silva, Rodri, Pogba, Yves Bissouma (Brighton)

Rice and pogba would be sick together

Solid picks

if its cm 1.Fred 2.Xhaka 3.Winks 4.Sissoko 5.Doug luiz

No De Bruyne!!!! What the hell

i love how much he respect pogba

All his choices are on point

Bissouma ❤️🙏🏾

Comes across a top guy. Can’t help but like him 👌

My current 5 favourites are.... Jordan Henderson N'Golo Kante Youri Tielemans Declan Rice Joao Moutinho

Only real football fans know how good Kovacic is! What a baller.

I like how he chose non England players If rice came to man city he will help boss midfield But because Godri is so undroppable rn its hard to see him coming to city even though most of his England team mates are by city

Kante is hands down the best central midfielder in Europe never mind England.

Pogba 🤝 rice knows ball

Missed out on kante de bruyne mount fernandes but respect 5 quality players on this list

Great and sensible pickings. But de Bruyne not being there is shocking

With all the unnecessary hate n criticism Pogba gets it’s good to see a class player like Rice rating him publicly like this👏🏾👏🏾as a United fan I hope he said this to get in his good books for when they might be teammates in the future😅😅

For me it's KDB, Kante, Kovacic, Bernardo Silva, and Rodri

He’s definitely coming to Utd this summer 😁

I love how he mentions the players people don't easily notice.

How didn't he say kdb Kante jorgino and Bruno Fernandez but he said bissouma 🤔🤔🤔

Risen from the ashes of TFR, ya love to see it.

Bissouna is so underated

declan knows abt pogs man, top baller.

Kante, Fabinho, KDB, Brunoc Pogba

I mean it's his professional opinion but he's wrong. Kante, KDB, Bernado 3 non-negotiables right now. Pogba no way

hes a good lad at kissing badges... he kissed the Ireland badge then the England one

No Thiago or Fabinho who are both definitely top 5 in the PL. What a poor take, from a professional footballer as well which makes it worse.

Fabinho and Kante deserve a shout.

Declan is not just world class but he has everything...knows the club, knows the league, knows the city, knows what it means to play for the badge. He has a good with his feet, can play a pass, physically strong, run for miles and most of all his leadership is second only to Jordan and Harry.

As a pro he obviously see's a different side of the players to us in the stands but I was surprised that Fernandinho wasn't in the list

shows u how good liverpool are that they dont even need a superstar midfielder to be in the title race every year plus UCL...there midfield is the engine room basically...it facilitates the attack by how they breaks up play on defense and creates chances on the counter

Kevin... Pogba.. Kante.. Bernado.. Kovacis.. Rodri .. Ruben neves..

Why is he just so likeable

As a Liverpool fan who watches the team religiously, our 2 most important players are van dijk then fabinho. I find it crazy how someone like fabinho isn’t spoken about in every “top 5 midfielders” debate whether thats premier league or the world. Not complaining but I don’t see how a player of his level goes under the radar. Perhaps because his game isn’t the best on the eye but if hes playing the full backs have confidence to get forward and play the way klopp wants his fullbacks to play. Take him out and we struggle

Leaving KDB out is like not naming Messi and Ronaldo in top 5 of all time. Probably mad at him for destroying his lively club Chelsea when he plays against them.

Watching from KZfaq

No Fabinho 😭

Imagine not picking Thaigo and Fabinho, both are clearly within the best five midfielders in the Premier League.

Was waiting for him to say pogba . Most gifted player in the prem

Pogba is class tbh

Most likeable British midfield since Phil Neville

De Bruyne, Kante, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Fernandes

Ngolo, kdb n Fernandez 🤘

Now imagine a midfield team with that 5

I think the reason he didn't pick Bruno or De Bruyne is because he's thinking more about true centre midfielders or defensive midfielders.

My five are: Fabinho, Thiago, Kante, KDB, and Pogba

I think he might have accidentally forgotten fred

My top 5: Ruben Neves, Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, KDB, Paul Pogba. Honourable mentions: Kante, Rice, Rodri, Moutinho, Mcginn, Maddison, Mount, and Kovacic. Anyone else?

Fair enough. Don't agree, but I'm not out there on the pitch.

personally I’d take Kante/ De bruyne over Bissouma/ Rodri. But I’m not mad at his top 5, good shouts

Probably was thinking about putting mark noble in

Why has he not got Ruben Neves in there? So under appreciated.

Kdb Gundogan Kante Bernardo rodri for me

I can't believe he didn't mention de bruyne I'm not a city supporter but I appreciate how world class de bruyne is and he is probably the best passer that has being in the Premier league as well. Also one of the best things about him is that he is consistent and can also play well when it comes to the big games.

De bruyne, Kante, Fabinho, Bernardo, Pogba

*Last spot who should i go hmmm bruno? Kdb? Kante? Thiago? BISSOUMA!

He can’t wait to play with Kovacic

Some good picks but KDB has to be there.

What's wrong with his leg? Is it like that or is it bend?

Shocking list tbh

Leaves out kdb, kante, fabinho etc for pogba who turns up 5 times a season and it's meant to be current lmao

Left out the best midfielder currently in the prem.. Fabinho

The best duo Rice💕👊🔥✌⚽💪🇬🇭
