People acting like he didn't look perfectly fine in the first half. I doubt Potter was going to give him the full 90. He had already played in the friendly games during the WC tournament, so not sure how much more easing in can be done tbh. I wouldn't listen to a personal coach that likely has no medical experience as a club doctor would.  Wtf is a performance coach anyway? He can't be paid by the club as he wouldn't be making unprofessional comments via social media.

Why do we keep blaming the old regime? Didn’t Boehly (& Tuchel) just hand Azpi a fresh 2yr contract?

But the previous board didn't buy a back up for Kante and never replaced Costa when he left. The same board that bought a handful of bang average players  during Conte's second season here after winning the league. The same board who bought Dijibiljiji (or whatever his name is) as an appropriate player under Jose Mourinho's second stint back here. The same board who bought an injured Torres for 50m rather than pay a similar fee for Aguero. The same board that bought 3 world class players in a decade and never built around Hazard. As fantastic as it was for what we won during that period, we could have been way more successful as a club if we had recruited the best players and build around the likes of Hazard/Fabregas. Boehly seems to have brought in people to complete a proper functioning board, something which should have been done a decade ago.

Hell No! He is bang average, ask Celtic fans. People are getting carried away by his performances for Croatia.

Any 1 of Malo Gusto, Pedro Porro or Neco Williams would push James for a starting position, and the drop off will be negligible  when he gets injured.

It's going to be difficult finding a player that knows full well they will be second fiddle to James. 

I do agree to the notion though that at this point we need to find a RB that can compete with James.

Our best bet if we don't want a huge drop off is a player in another position being able to cover RB well.

At wingback I don't mind RLC but in a flat 4 i can't imagine he'll hack it.

Just as bad as Dave imo. 

I've never seen a player with such technique as Ruben to be so brain dead in the final third. 

 
Some players seem to have really bad luck with injuries. Reece's young career has already been interrupted numerous times. Desperately hoping he gets some better luck but at the moment its not looking good and inevitably will affect his own confidence. I think we need to consider more than just a stop gap cover, and more likely a player who is good enough to step in regularly. Dumfries would be a decent option.

Why second fiddle though? He misses on average 13 league games each season, on par to surpass that this season. If Chiwell can have competition for his role, so can he. Doesn’t have to be a £60m+ signing though. There are loads of good young RBS available that won’t cost more than £40m if we are swift.

We could play what ifs from today until tomorrow if you want.

He we actually built his minutes up instead of going from 0-60+ (there is no evidence he was planning to hook him at 60 either for that sake) like he said he would we'd still be in the race for Top 4. If he's out for months now we are not in it anymore, pretty major deal and it was avoidable.

How do you know he hasn't had his minutes built up behind closed doors and in training...Like every other professional footballer.
