West Ham United manager David Moyes believes midfielder and captain Declan Rice “could play for any club” after his performance against Liverpool on Wednesday.
While the Hammers’ five-match unbeaten streak in all competitions came to an end at Anfield following a 1-0 defeat, courtesy of Darwin Nunez’s first half header, they came close to earning a point on Merseyside, with Jarrod Bowen having a first half penalty saved by Alisson and a late effort from Tomas Soucek requiring last-ditch defending from James Milner to deny him an equaliser.
The pick of the bunch for the Hammers was Rice, who defended well and was a big part in winning the ball back for Moyes’ side and being a key figure in starting many of West Ham’s moves going forward as they attempted to get an equalising goal, making 76 of his 80 attempted passes in the game.
