He is already that good its only a matter of time for him to cement his starting place. Its almost inevitable.

Sure the club is working on it but Reece did sign a new deal last summer.

According to transfermarket his contract ends:

Contract until: 30.06.2022

So we are entering 2020 in two months, only leaving him for 2 years.

Suggesting that he signed a four year extension in summer 2018. I'd be stunned if a new deal is not being worked on right now. One of those nice seven year jobs would be just the ticket.

Kept Zaha in his back pocket all night, just bloody awesome.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Zaha is acting like a bitch lol, love it.

[Nicco 927]

What a player, I love him so much.

The last two games surely cemented his name in the starting eleven.

Let's see if James plays at Man City. If he does, then fair play to Lampard.

Given we will likely be facing Mahrez , maybe a good idea to put Azpi LB for this one.

That's what I like. 

Don't pick based on name but form. Based on training and in the field contribution.

Meritocracy seemed to be an empty word with our previous managers, but we finally now have it with Lampard. We can see it ourselves it keeps the players on their toes as we rarely see lazy performances anymore. This puts a rocket under every player's ass who wants to play regularly.

Seeing as we need Azpi's determination in defending against such an attacking side, we should start him on the left and James on the right.

Perfect debut. Defended well against a tricky player and got forward well when the opportunities presented itself.

He is our best overall FB.

With all the young players performing, reece still seems to be the one with the highest ceiling to me. Has everything to become one of the very best in his position.

Oooh dear 😂😂😂

Where you been? We need your voice around here.

Our numbers are small but, in my opinion, the general quality of posts on this forum is very high. If you are going to be regular again that seals the deal.

Life mate haha. TC has always been great for high quality content, especially during its peak but there's still lots of great observers of the game about here lurking. Haven't had much time to post but have been reading on the off/monitoring.

Super excited to finally see the academy guys coming through, a couple of us who have watched the youth over the years have begged for this. Couldn't have happened to a more talented bunch. Here's a question for you. 

Do you reckon the previous generation, if they had this chance would've looked as much of a real deal as these lot coming through now? Essentially, current bunch (James, CHO, Mount, Tomori, Gilmour etc.) vs the generation before who were just as good at youth football level (RLC, Christensen, Chalobah, Musonda, Ake, Dasilva etc.)? Obviously we have RLC and Christensen who've come through, just wondering what'd be like if these guys also had this sort of faith put behind them. 

Can't believe we're sitting in third at the international break.
