What's new

Reece James

What a player, just hope it keeps it up and carries on improving! His potential is scary if he's already this good.

My MOTM tonight. 

He's starting to nail down that right back position as his own now. 

Looks to be building a good partnership with Ziyech who are both whipping in quality crosses from the right hand side.

Terrifying for defences now with those 2, got to contend with Ziyech cutting inside or James overlapping and whipping crosses in.

And they don't get a break on the left side either with Chilwell and Werner/Pulisic doing the same there. 

James and Chilwell are both key to the way we play and they are both doing fantasticly well so far this season.

 
Another comfortable game for England last night and wouldn't surprise me if he is first choice in either rb or rwb come next summers Euros.

Has really improved his defending this season showing that he is a very good learner (good tutor in Azip).

Nice rest now as he can't play the next two England games should have him nice and fresh for us at Newcastle.

 
Probably should have had another assist from his cross in the first half. It just needed a touch. He's doing this every game now, he always gets at least one top quality cross into the box.

 
Definite step up this season - mainstay in the team now.  Much improved defensive positioning and awareness.  Strength and forward quality has never been in doubt.

 
man of the match for me.. he completely shut out their attack and had St Maxim in his pocket.. and was dangerous with his delivery.. at one point in the game he out muscled two Newcastle players.. he is going to be a massive player for us for years..

 
was watching the Spurs match and Walker was awful. losing headers to Bergwin and Moura.. zero end product and constantly giving the ball away.. he is already so much better than the senior English RB in all areas..

Yeah but you have to understand, there's a training ground and match law that we're only allowed to score 1 in 20 Reece James crosses. All the rest have to be fluffed and badly missed. 

 
Improving to be a very good RB. His runs forward are better timed and now his defensive contributions have improved as well. 

My criticism has always been of him not producing crosses more and going awol in defence. Glad to see him making huge strides in those areas of his game

 
This kid is some player, MOTM? 

A lot of doubts around him last season with his dip in form during the restart, but this season he looks incredible, love watching him play. And the poor lad should really have about 10 assists, absolutely criminal how they don't get finished.

He's gone from being one of the players I thought wasn't quite ready to start every week to a player I don't want to see left out. If his season carries on like this, then he will be right up there as one of our players of the season. 

I didn't expect him to improve so quickly after his shaky start, but since he got called up to the England team, he's been consistent and seems to be getting better and better.

He's young, so he's going to make mistakes. It's his passing and composure I like the most. He isn't the quickest but he's so tidy on the ball and under pressure. Also, people forget some of his defensive performances last season, like against Palace, completely kept Zaha quiet for the full game when they put Zaha on James to try and give him problems. 

He's really coming into his own this season, he made 45/45 passes in that second half, didn't give the ball away once. 

 
i think he is a real prospect.. he never loses his ball.. knows how to use his strength to block attackers like a certain Ivanovic.. has a great cross on his.. he really puts it at a platter.. rarely loses a header.. against city spurs were wining easy headers against their fullbacks.. has a good free kick on him too..

yes he is not the quickest and does get caught out every now and then when he is not concentrating.. but for a guy his age.. he can only improve the mental side... the basics are there to be a top top player..

 
Always liked him since seeing him at Wigan, although he has done better than I expected him to do.

His strengths are there for all to see, crossing, physical strength and his defending is improving all time.

Probably the biggest compliment I can think of is that I genuinely forget the Azpi is even on the subs bench.
