Reece James

His pass to Pedro (I think) early in the second half from deep was absolutely outstanding, took the defender completely out the game and allowed Pedro in behind.

 
He’s an absolute Rolls Royce of a player.

I don’t feel like it’s jinxing it to say he appears to have put his fitness issues behind him, we’re a totally different animal when he’s on the pitch.

 
Probably the only player we have that we can confidently say he's by far the best player in his position in the world.

 
I personally think he is the best footballer in the world, we all know how good he is at RB, he dominated the midfield against the So-Called Best Midfielder in the world and whenever he has played CB he has looked absolutely sublime.

I dont think there is a outfield position on the pitch where he would look out of place.

Off the pitch? Pie stand in the concourse? He'd stick his finger in the pie to check whether it's hot. Lick his finger. Have another poke. "It's hot, here you go, pal".

 
I don’t think of Reece James as the best right back in the world.

I think he’s one of the best footballers in the world. He doesn’t really have a weakness on the pitch. He would be a star at Madrid/Barca.

This is your wet dream stuff isnt it....😅

 
So where was James tonight then? Rested I heard. The club captain rested for a semi final against one of our most hated rivals? Absolute bo**ocks. Try that with Terry, Lampard or Drogba against Arsenal and they would laugh at you. What a laughing stock this club has become.
He wasn't rested, he had a knock.

I can imagine they decided to just not risk him but would find that infuriating

From whom? You've trotted this out a number of times. So, as with Neto, failing a fitness test was a lie? Give over.

Failing a fitness test doesn't mean injury. Simon Johnson, Mr Clear Lake PR guy himself, reported that he was fine and just being rested.

 
Nobody said that.
Pedro and Reece had small knocks,” Rosenior said after the Arsenal match. “They were just in too much pain for tonight.

They're giving everything. They would always put their hand up to play. Reece is an incredible captain and leader. I know Pedro is an outstanding professional and a great player.

"We've had a lot to contend with the last couple of days, a couple of fitness tests this morning. Normally I name the team the day before. I named the team this afternoon when I had the full details of who was available."

"Fitness tests"....so no confirmation of a knock then.

I don't buy it, I don't buy anything coming out of this club anymore. Players conveniently not fit in certain games then suddenly return to training the very next day completely fine because the coach is being instructed not to play them. Everything under Rosenior is the same as when we had Maresca until he got fed up with it, nothing but bullsh*t.
