I have to partially agree.
I see him every couple of weeks. He is a superb defensive midfielder, breaking up so many attacks by just being in right place at right time. He is however , imo, limited going forward for the most part and rarely poses a goal threat.
There is also the problem caused by most of the team thinking everything needs to go through him, ignoring many options to break forward but instead always looking to pass to Rice.
To be in the top class of midfielders he really need to do more offensively to match his defensive work.
Souness did an opinion piece recently stating pretty much the same and he should know what it takes to be a top midfielder.
