Reece James

Few rumors that he will be back in the squad for Sunday.

Hope we don't rush him back and cause him to have a re injury.

 
Well nobody has mentioned him getting back on the pitch, he improves us by 20% straight away, his strength was missed, now we look more like were up for a fight with Reece back.

Chilwell improves us 20%. For me Reece does at least 30%

No defender has scored more goals in the league than him. LEGENDARY JAMES

 
Having him back and scoring immediately.  Might go on to be our best sideback since Ash

 
If only Reece and chilly were not out for the December run. I reckon we would still be challenging for the title.

Man city have the quality in depth that comes from having pep and that system for years

But Liverpool without Robertson and TAA would be struggling for top 4

And we are still only 10 points behind them with all the injuries and sh*t we've dealt with this season.

To me that's a testament to how good a manager we have. I don't see any reason why we wouldn't have 6-8 more points if Reece James had been available all season and we'd be right up there with them then. Then if you want to add a healthy Chilwell on the left flank as well as I could imagine us being ahead of City right now.

Thank you, now all I have in my head is a podcaster I listen to shouting ‘flagkick’ and ‘hit it Martin!’ from their Melchester (Roy of the Rovers) Odyssey. I wish some other c**t here would understand these references!  :laugh2:

Possibly, but I personally don't think it's that simple. If it was, then our lack of a plan B is inexcusable with the squad we have. We should be able to change things up and remain competitive if injuries disrupt plan A. 

I think we would have had the same struggles had James and Chilwell remained fit anyway. December, January and February are often poor months for us these days and I don't think that would have been all that different even if James and Chilwell were fit. It may not have been quite as tough as it has been at times, but I'm not convinced that we would have kept up with City and Liverpool. Just look at James form in the month before he got injured, he wasn't playing well at all, I remember mentioning at the time. The injury took him out of the firing line, but he was fully part of the squad that's form had suddenly nose dived after Chilwell's injury.

Of course it would of been different, it no coincidence our best wins/performances have been when James is on the pitch (and Lukaku isn't).

I agree. Chilwell is actually more important for us structurally because he's the fullback that penetrates the middle. Reece was always the extra extra attacker to stretch opponents further

 
This not a biased comment Reece James is the best RB in the league. It’s rare to find a player who is offensively and defensively outstanding, but James certainly fits the criteria. Liverpool may not appreciate that comment but TAA maybe offensively brilliant but defensively is suspect and vulnerable in counter attacks because of his diminished speed.
