Blue Armour 4,439 Posted May 12, 2024 Share Posted May 12, 2024 Put some respect on this man's name. Still incensed there were people ready to ship him out on account of him being injured, and just because we have Gusto, who is also good btw. But James is James. Hope his worst injury troubles are behind him 🙏 Strike and Reddish-Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope his worst injury troubles are behind him 🙏 The only question with Reece is going to be how he deals with those niggling injuries as he's built like a tank. RLC had those ongoing issues as well, mentioning that he couldn't train half the time due to the lower back injuries, thankfully he seems to have found a bit of consistent football in Italy. Quality wise, he's on another level. Him & Tino (who's at Newcastle now) were on another level from the academy days, was hoping at least one of them would go on and play regularly for the first team.

Hope his worst injury troubles are behind him 🙏 Completely agree. He and Palmer are the only players we have that have shown genuine world class play for a period of time. For sure, some of the other players we have have shown flashes, but that is all. James is rightly the Chelsea captain and hopefully will be able to keep himself fit - or at least fitter - moving forward.

I'm glad he's going to get a summer off where he can focus on recovery. Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted May 12, 2024 Share Posted May 12, 2024 Great to have him back. Really did no expect him to make an impact this season anymore. Admittedly, Gusto has been excellent in his own way. We are lucky to have two young RBs of this quality. But RJ is just supreme. The way he moves, the swagger, the physicality, the composure - it is one of a kind, apart form his sister lol. Granted, all this is worth zilch if he gets injured straight away again. I don't think his career can sustain another majore injury within the next few years. Physically he looks like has not lost any size but everybody could see how he was not properly conditioned for years still just looking at his terrible mobility. While we have no clue if any of this has improved or if the Foo Fighters physio thinks the surgery should have fixed it all, we can only hope that there has been work done on his overall resilience.

He has been having a reoccurring hamstring issue. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted May 16, 2024 Share Posted May 16, 2024 Stupid move, but I'll let it pass. People can complain about the fact that he nearly cost the team all points today, but the fact is that he also won 2 points for the team last game with his assist to Jackson. No need to make a mountain out of a molehill. He's had brainfarts like this in the past, but more so this season. Has to be also impacted by all the injury spells he has had recently. Anyway, even our best & most reliable players have had moments of stupidity. JT, Drogba & even Cech (in 2008-2009) Best just to move on and recover.

Seemed like he kicked out as a momentary reaction. Doesn't seem to be a long-term attitude problem. Gusto can cover for another 4 games, no problem.
