after that he declined, hence his declined started in 2013-2014 season.

In October 2015 he was first choice CF for both Arsenal and England.
he failed to reach 10 goals all competition after 2013-2014 except for 2016-2017 where he scored 19 goals all competitions and 2 assists
after 2016-2017 season, he hardly got 5 goals and any assists (3 max per season)
The numbers don’t tell the full story. He was injured a lot in 2014 and 15 but when he was fit, he was a key player.

Because Wenger opted for Podolski instead who, at that time was more established than Aubamayang. We didn't need both with Theo too.
Walcott was injured in 2013-14 and the next couple of seasons.

Gallagher has been Chelsea’s best midfielder, despite the millions they’ve spent in that position. I like him a lot. He would do very well here, and he is the type of box-to-box midfielder that managers love.

Giroud currently is a key player for AC Milan, he is in decline. Both can be true at the same time. It doesn't mean the player is useless..

Kalvin Phillips is what half this forum thought Rice was before we signed him.
Decent enough basic player, but a run around like a headless chicken sort really. Got found out moving up a level at Man City.

KWP is a deep lying playmaker which nobody thought Rice was and certainly now know he is not. He ran around because of the "murderball" style Bielsa had at the time.
He failed at City due to injury and fitness (very similar to ESR actually, Pep outright called him fat). Peak KWP is actually the ideal midfield partner for Rice hence the double pivot for England when they reached the finals. Unsure if he is a #8 as he is closer to Jorginho with his passing range and vision.
2/3 teams he's done well for Leeds and England, so for me not playing for City doesn't mean bad player. This isn't me advocating signing him or anything.

Sad how he is only 27 but it feels like his peak was ages ago, and will never be touched again.
He's been at City barely a season, but feels like he has aged a decade at the club somehow

Yeah I don’t think the heavy pressing era of football is very kind to your career long term. Bielsa’s time at Leeds was full of injuries.
It’s why guys with the better genetics but not the best skills always have a place at this level, they just win out due to availability.
I legit can’t remember the last time Kai or Jorginho had an injury for example compared to say Partey.
