Reece James

Attacking wise Reece gives us a supply we need to be taking more advantage of. That will be the main point of contention if we fail to get top 4 for me.

He is blessed with physical strength so does not get pushed off the ball easily.

One point is that I feel he needs a good central defender behind him or a midfielder to drop back as sometimes he can get caught out of position. 

At this moment looks the most promising of our young prospects.

 
Out of all of our young players to break through, I think he is producing the most consistent quality. I still think he needs to improve defensively, but going forward, he is creating chances in every game. I think the other young players have a lot of work to do still to guarantee a spot in the first 11 next season, but I think James has the spot sealed, unless he get's an injury or his form drops severely.

 
Good crosser but gets caught way up the field too often. Wish Ashley could give him some pointers

Not an easy thing to do either. Ndombele is a tank. 

Reece looks better and better. RB is probably the one place where we are set.

 
He still makes a couple mistakes on the ball, which is only natural for one so young. Very excited to see him getting consistent minutes at RB. Such a unit as well!

 
There were times where he dawdled on the ball against Spurs and was tackled/caught but that hopefully can improve because the rest of his game is superb, he can only get better and better.

 
Did he get a knock in the second half last night? He was massive in the first half, then after about an hour he seemed barely able to run or turn.

I noticed that too. Davies gave us a nightmare down that side. 

I'd still like to see him in midfield at some stage.

 
I think his inexperience showed a little last night. That being said, I'm glad he played, just so he can get games of that magnitude under his belt and is better able to adapt next time.

 
Going forward he's brilliant but his defensive phase needs work.
Davies seems to frighten him yesterday, probably first time he's face real world class quality.

Sometimes it can take you by surprised when you meet players better than you that just play with such ease.

Still our best young prospect by far, I believe he's the only one that can really be world class.

 
Looks more comfortable at right back than wing back, which is strange because he played in midfield a fair bit last season, so it seems like he would naturally be as good further forward. 

Lille away was a similar performance.

Maybe it is the timing of his overlaps, and just knowing where he is meant to be positionally. 

Still got a fantastic career ahead of him though, im sure he will have learnt loads from last night.

I wouldn't, I think it would be a waste. His crossing ability is a huge asset, we would lose that if he played in midfield.

That's true. Personally I think we need a bit more physicality in that midfield. Worth a shot, you can still engineer crosses from midfield.

 
Seems to be playing at half pace.. wonder if he is carrying a knock..
