Reece James

Reece was class in midfield today
He was, but he did start off a little iffy at first; after that he was great.

I find Kovacic and Jorginho quite a boring midfield pairing, and we need to improve on that next season to be able to challenge.

 
There is talk he could get the cut from this 33 man England squad in favour of TTA, Walker and Trippier, I know the competition for that place is high but that would be mad.

That would be a shame for him as he offers versatility and has had a good season.

However I would drop him form the starting 11 for Saturday. 

 
A  big game saturday in the right position hopefully and he will be undroppable by Southgate!

 
People claiming that Pep has made a mistake with Sterling, I think in this match he could put every player and James was stopping him.

What a performance in the CL final! What a feeling for academy player to lift that trophy and starting in the final!

 
Excellent tonight, absolutely f**king excellent. I’ve had doubts about Reece defensively before, understandable given his age. Performances like that though are that of a seasoned pro. He pocketed Sterling which isn’t easy with his pace, even the couple of times it looked like he’d been beaten he managed to get back and recover to stop him. That was such a mature performance from a young lad in a Champions League final.
 

Truly incredible, the sky truly is the limit for him if he can consistently deliver performances even close to that, I thought he was faultless.

 
Every time Sterling had the ball and attacked down his side I worried. Ha, why though? Reece not only tracked his every movement but on the occasion where Sterling got passed him, Reece simply stepped across and used his incredible strength to hold him off and rob the ball. 
It’s a simply game when it comes down to it eh? 

 
If the first half of the season was about Mount showing the level he’s at, the last few games have been James looking really classy. Gone are the defensive errors and what remains is the brilliant control and touch on the ball and a fine eye for a pass. 
 

fantastic. 

 
Ivanovic is somewhere feeling proud of Reece I believe.

Looking forward to his meeting with Sterling ahead of the Euro. Absolutely bossed that right side.

Maybe I've missed but I'd pay for images of the whiny sob crying while Reece stands tall in front of him with the trophy and his medal. Though he'd be carded by the ref for the way he complained all throughout the game for his failures to win any kind of duel against Reece. 

 
I could actually see Reece as next Chelsea captain, if only to have a captain in the back line, not much between him and Mase..

 
Words cannot express how much I enjoy watching James play. I haven't bought a Chelsea replica kit since Drogba's in 2010. I think that streak will end now and it will have James printed on it.

Moron lol. Well I would have been well off the mark on that one, and not for the first or last time either.

Apart from the one mis judged missed header he was flawless, he dealt with Sterling so so well, and I would argue he was our most worked and best defender on the night.

Top display, good on you Reece. Think Tammy wares the haircut better though.
