Reece James

He doesn’t look asked at all!!
Probably getting weighed down by his wage packet. Found it hilarious fans called him world class last season, Trippier for me has been better over the last 2 seasons. Yet you won’t see Newcastle fans branding him that or asking for him to be paid whatever he asks.

Trippier is the more consistent one but a large part of that is James being plagued with injuries. No idea what his issue is now. Looks checked out and overweight. 

 
Yes. He's unrecognisable from the player of recent seasons. The persistent injuries have really affected him mentally as well as physically.

 
still our most reliable source of goals even yesterday when in the final third he looked better. 
 

but he does look unfit and needs a preseason. Having said that he has had a very start stop career with injuries that is bound to impact him.. 

of all the players he is one player I would still give more latitude to. People tend to forget he was always languid and very unlike lamprey in the sense he doesn’t bomb forward every opportunity. I don’t think he is the fastest fb ever so doesn’t overcommit himself.

‘Lamprey’?  Very eel-ish of you.

 
Wouldn`t Reece benefit from losing from upper body weight? I think he is simply carrying way too much weight considering he is supposed to get up and down the right wing all game. His strength helps him outmuscle opponents but it also makes him a bit slow and most of all injury-prone. The current state he is in is quite shocking. Reece James is one of my favourite players and I still think he has the potential to be the best RWB in the world but last couple of games were just bad. His defending against Madrid was absolutely horrific and as others have mentioned his body language also seems off. Like he gave up on the season ... which is unacceptable. We still have to fight to win every single game and try to finish the season decently. It very much matters and will help us get a better start to next season.

 
Age old problem. New very high paying contract signed, no need to put the effort in, until time to renegotiate.

 
Apparently was seen taking pain killers on the touchline?

Season's dead. What ever he's suffering from needs to get sorted. 

 
Reece suffered a hamstring injury vs Real and is out for the season. Can we please now get him surgery to fix these ongoing problems.

 
Hopefully between now and pre-season we can get his hamstring fixed and ready for the new season. Last season for the most part he had Vinicius Jr on toast but this season James looked well off it.

 
Should really have taken the surgery instead of fighting for an England spot for WC. Hope he doesn't live to regret it.
