Reece James

Terrific debut from the young man, absolutely bullied Zaha for the whole game.

I reckon he’ll be living in Zaha’s head rent free for the rest of the weekend, he’ll be waking up having nightmares of Reece tonight. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a player throw his toys out the pram quite like that due to getting nothing out their opposition, made me laugh!

It's actually quite common with Zaha. James getting the better of him didn't surprise me.

 
I dare say he's done a better job defensively than I think Azpilicueta would've done.

True, he’s sh*te and I might actually cry if we sign him.

I'm not sure why he is hyped up as often as he has been, it's been going on since his Championship days. He's not had a consistent season in his career yet and he hasn't even scored a goal this season.

If he was a young player, he would be described as a raw talent, he has looked that way since his first few years of senior football. If we are going to spend the cash on a winger when the transfer ban is over, I think there are much better and cheaper players we can go for.

 
Just knew this lad was going to be an absolute beast of a player for us.

Is going to be a crucial part of the first team for many years to come - so glad he is CFC.

Bizarrely he is 27 now too. Seems to have been a raw talent forever. The whole Palace system is set up for him to score goals and he has been dire. Literally a poor mans CHO.

He was great yesterday. Masterclass from Frank to pick someone with pace on that side. He got great help from Willian and Kante but he handled Zaha's speed with aplomb. Good work going forward too. I have a feeling Dave may spend some time on the left this season.

 
I think he was really dominant against Zaha.. but lets give him time.. there was one instance at 1-0 when he overplayed in our box and we almost got caught out .. like Tomori i think this would have crept into his game in the championship given some of the quality they faced which meant they got away with it at that level... having said that the more he plays the more he will re-calibrate the risks he can take in possession.. but great game probably should have had an assist..

This kid is going to be, and i choose my words carefully, As good as 'Ash'he has everything, just needs experience, he'll be regular England right back, because he can bloody defend...

Everyone bangs on in the media about how good TAA is. James can do everything he can do, but actually defend and offer a physical presence. Unreal player.

Lets not forget he's two years younger too.

Wouldn't quite go that far - TAA's diagonals are up there with De Bruyne's.

Agree with everything else - James also looks more comfortable on the wing than TAA imho (another reason we don't need Sancho :laugh2: )

Given how good James is defensively, it will be an absolute waste playing him on the wing, or even wingback for that matter.

Did you see Reece's diagonals at Wigan? Incredible. 

 
Long term I dont see TAA playing as a RB I think he will most likely be pushed further forward and play as a Right Winger, this will suit England greatly as it would allow England to play both TAA and Reece James in the same team.
