Reece James

Anybody else feel that TAA is overrated because of the front three Liverpool have and the system working so well? 

I personally believe Reece James is already just as good as TAA, but doesn't have the fortune of a well oiled system and clinical goal scorers to provide for. 

Both are good going forward, but imo James edges it on the defensive side. Reece will only get better too. I am hyped for his progress.

Burnley are a poor side. 

James lacks pace and mobility, tbh, and Hudson Odoi isn't great at tracking back. I could see it as a weakness for other teams to exploit should they choose aggressively attack down that side. 

His crossing is good, though.

Then you have the pace of strength of Rudiger behind him, our right hand side is really good atm.

Forget Trent for a minute, there's some poor United fans who think Wan Bissaka is better. They're in for a very rude awakening.

 
I don't think we are making the most of his crossing ability. 

Yesterday Tammy scored from the high cross he delivered almost on the touch-line, his other crosses are like dinked balls and mostly easy for defenders to read.

They could work better if a runner can be accurately found yet think they should be doing much more damage than is currently the case.

Good to see him get MOTM.

 
We need to utilize his strengths more ie more offensive tactics and have him pinning the opposition fullback. If Tammy was better, Reece would've been on 10assists or so.

I think that’s just you getting ahead of yourself. There’s no doubting Reece’s talent but TAA has started in two CL finals. He has won one, is a starter for his national team and is about to win the league at a canter. He is a level above Reece at the moment.

Was not impressed with Rudiger, tbh. He hasn't been great since his return aside from the Tottenham game. Yesterday he has a few clumsy moments and was even done on a physical battle against Vydra after misreading a high ball. 

All four centre halves are a bit short of what's needed imo. If one was consistently solid it might be alright, but all are inconsistent.

Probably why Lampard is rotating them alot ... trying to find a combo that works better than the sum of the parts ...

He has been the most consistent and his errors  an he counted on fingers and have not lead directly to any goals.. intact yesterday he was again very good and won almost every battle against a physical direct team.. he is certainly one of the best CBs in the epl..

Rudiger hasn’t been rotated been pretty much constant at the left.

Call it all you will but personally I think TAA is the world's best right back and will be for the next 5 years. I'll be more than happy enough if RJ is 2nd best. 

TAA is so good though that he may end up being a right midfielder, similar to how Bale made the switch.

From Englands point of view the chance to have james and TAA make up their right flank should be jumped on.

 
Fantastic news, and fully deserved.
