Supermonkey92 1,428 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Azpi is better at building up from the back, i hope reece is on the bench against Liverpool. Having said that, I'm interested to see how many assists he gets with a season of werner havertz and pulisic in the box. His speed looked decent as well.

But nice goal and assist from him. I think it was more the way we were set up. No real link up play. He is dangerous when ocerlapping and crossing (aka the corner that he won, and the move just before that). The 4-2-4 really cost us fluidity. Also, don't think he had an issues in defensive. He was solid. Lamptey really looks great. But he was also playing against alonso, so need to take that into account. Such games come at q premium where you can give your opposing defender a 10 yard head start, and still easily catch up, where you know his crossing is shit so no need to worry, his speed is shit, so he won't be able to go past you, plus his defending is mega shit, so you anyways are going to own his ass. ja1, kellzfresh and The Skipper 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like RLC, no energy. Fullbacks should be energetic, that's the strongest quality for a fullback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean honestly, except for that one time in the 2nd half, did Brighton even have a sniff down the right all game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also had the assist for the third goal. His performance was good because he stepped up big time when the team conceded a typical goal that usually set us back last season - completely cancelled out the negativity that would've followed. I'm sure he was MOTM actually. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrique 9,133 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 James is a beast going forward. His goal was great in so many aspects, not only the shooting, but the way he went to the mid to receive the ball, instead of staying wide waiting for the ball. Going forward he has so much more to offer compared to Azpi. To other side he really needs to improve his defensive game. During part of the games our right side was an open avenue for Brighton going forward. Strike and coolhead23 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big fan of James but yes I think this type of urgency, assertiveness and progression is what he needs to go to the next level. Lamptey was a perfect example today where he of course has talent but also just does everything quickly. I know it sounds kinda ambiguous / general but I think it’s what separates best attacking full backs from ok ones. Robertson is a good example of someone who does it well. Emerson lacked this as well even though he did have some ability. kellzfresh and 0007 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerson lacked this as well even though he did have some ability. You just explained my mind perfectly. Robertson is a great fullback just for how energetic he runs on the pitch. While Emerson was a disaster because he refused to run or assert himself in matches. James should make a lot more runs in behind, show some energy and he'll be one of the best in the league immediately. James with his calmness actually seems to me like a midfielder sometimes instead of a fullback. ja1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 511 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I have been critical of Mount a lot of times but he has games when he is absolutely class. And his intensity is always on point. But with Reece I am always seeing the same thing. A lot of backardws passes, no real urgency, no intensity, slightly above average performances.A good cross here and there and a good through ball at times but moat of the time nothing. As bad as Azpi is going forward, he actually speeds up our game and tries to play the ball forward moat of the times. He is regarded very higly by most of TC 's members but I think the hype is greater than his actual performances.It was the same with RLC but he is a different story. I would call him solid but not WC as of now ans can' t really see him going to the WC heights.I am even in the minority that prefers Azpi over him. killer1257, kellzfresh and Supermonkey92 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
