What's new

Reece James

Hes turning into an absolute beast. Looking strong defensively and his balls into the box have me on the edge of my seat .

The kid oozes quality at both ends of the pitch 

 
Our back 5 if you can use that expression is probably the best in the country atm and Reece is integral part of it at the age of 21. Very solid in D and his crosses are just delightful. 

I loved the way he manhandled Bamford. Don't know what Bamford was thinking to be honest. 😁

 
Happy birthday and congratulations for the 50th match played for the club as well. One of my favorite players ever already.

One of my favourites in the present squad. What is it about our own academy players that makes us will them on and be hugely successful?

50th match already... :good2:

 
Sad to say from one point of view, but very happy from the other, as to how much of a downgrade Dave is in all departments compared to the player James is now imo.

Not as big a downgrade Emerson is from Chilwell but pretty close.

I think that is a bit harsh. As an attacking full back, yeah, James is miles ahead, but I still think Azpilicueta is a better defender, even though James has gone up many levels in recent months. You'll struggle to find a better 1v1 defender than Azpilicueta.

 
The team was poor today, but Reece was still a level above the rest.  Up for the battle, and up and down the right flank all night long.  Unlucky not to score, great battle with Richardlison, and the recovery tackle he made in the second half was world class defending.

Beyond that, he looked mad, and I like that determination and steel from a homegrown player.

 
Head & shoulders above everyone else yesterday. Clear MOTM and at this stage the main candidate for CFC player of the season.

 
Another very good game from him at Goodison last night.

Very unfortunate not to score in the first half, when his shot hit the inside of the post and somehow stayed out. 
 

 
Player of the season so far. Fantastic player. Will become an absolute legend at the club.

 
Thought he played well yesterday and his battle with Richarlison was certainly interesting as both players are physically strong on the ball.

Picked up a card for late tackle and was unlucky to have not scored at least one.

 
Looking more and more like he might be Super Dan's natural successor. Absolutely delighted that he's living up to his promise, and just as delighted that he's making a mockery of Luca's theory about right backs.

The only thing that's suprised me is it took him a season to reach this level (consistently) and even now I think what we're seeing is just the tip of the iceberg.
