King Kante 1,643 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, Magic Lamps said: I don’t think his pace is an issue at all. He looks slow bc he seldom attempts those sprints but when he wants to he is rapid. Remember city away? Benjamin Mendy is not a slow player but RJ completely blew him out of the water 3 times. I think it comes more down to attitude Mendy is shot after his injuries, so not sure that is a good example. Problem with James is that I don't think he is that quick (he isn't slow, but he isn't quick) whilst I also question his stamina. I am not sure he doesn't do the running because he isn't bothered, rather he hasn't enough in the tank to do it enough. Furthermore, I think he is better for the centre because he is actually pretty strong, even if he isn't the tallest. Tbh, I think TT moving him about and our apprant hard push for Hakimi shows he thinks similar.

People criticising his passes that led to goals when in reality only the first (Tielemans goal) was his fault. But even then, it was a handball. 2nd was Kovacic not being aware and getting caught on it too long. These errors are something that can be improved relatively easy (more assertion in forward passing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, he has plenty of time to iron that sort of stuff out, especially as the cup final was virtually his first time playing that role in men's football. For me, James as a big future with us, but it will be in a more central position than in a wide position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at right back he was often drifting into the half space (where Azpi got all his assists to Morata). King Kante 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,319 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 That switch to RCB everyone was talking about is not happening... Azpi, Kounde, Chris. 3 better options. For RWB he is also problematic. We wanted Hakimi, may still get someone by reports TT wants a player for right side. CHO offers more in attack. And even in some games by end of the season TT went with Rudi-Silva-Chris back 3 and Azpi RWB. His best shot is we go back to 4atb, he would start as RB.

Milan 17,957 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Quote James became the second Chelsea player to score and assist in the same Premier League away game at Arsenal, after Juan Mata in September 2012, and his five touches in the opposition box in the first half alone was the most he had recorded in an entire Premier League fixture.

DH1988 1,348 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Stupid mistake. Young and will learn. Heroic performance from the team thereafter and it’s character building for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heroic performance from the team thereafter and it’s character building for sure. Yep. Even then the minutes he played, after his game v Arsenal, he was disappointing. But its only one game, still got plenty to offer after this summes attempt to sign Hakimi and pretty confident once he finds the right intensity and drive in his play consistently he will kick on again. Bit of an enigma at times. DH1988 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,957 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 His CL, SC and Euro medals have been stolen from his house while playing against Zenit. Poor fella, after all his charity work and given his kind of shy nature, this is really sick from those people. nyikolajevics and ZAPHOD2319 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a documentary titled "This is a Robbery", where it descripted a robbery that took place in the early 1990's. Two robbers robbed an art museum that had a collection worth over hundreds of millions of dollars. People suggested, how could they sell it when these are famous artworks? Typically, these are sold in black markets where the buyers are genuinely connected to Mafia or other illegal trades. They are both collectors and use the item as a sort of "Get out of Jail Free Card", where if they charged with a crime in the future, they would reveal the artworks' whereabouts in order for a reduced sentenced. Not saying these robbers are doing the same as judging from the videos, they look incredibly thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
