24. Reece James

[MoroccanBlue 5,302]

System didn’t suit him and you’re either incredibly stubborn or stupid to think otherwise.

He actually got worse when the team switched to back 4.

Yeah I think that's the best way to combat the lack of creativity/overall quality in the centre as it is so with two top class right sided players seems to make sense.

Not sure who they can play on the left though, Chilwell doesn't do enough going forward to make it as a wingback. Maybe Saka from Arsenal?

I don't think lack of creativity is England problem right now. Losing Harry kane imo is a massive problem unless you think Tammy is ready

I was impressive about his lack of quality today. Reality check. The worst performance Ive seen from a Chelsea player in a European game. Looked like a school boy playing against men.

You could change the thread name to Jorginho and this statement would mean the same.

Vintage Henrique right there.

Kane, Rashford injured. Vardy retired. I have no idea what should England do for the Euro. Ings or false 9? Maybe Calvert Lewin? Bambi on ice is not ready and never will be.

You can say this about whole team.

Ahh I love calvert Lewin but he is no kane. Definitely an option. But massive drop off from kane.

Almost cost us the game. 

Was very slow when he came in. 

Let's hope it's a one of.

Pretty sure it is.

Almost like he was on a mission to cost us the game. Lost the ball 4 times leading to dangerous counterattacks. Doesn't look fit at all

Which is to be expected after a long break. Also, Villa were pressing intensely at that point, to which Reece came on without having a chance to get into the game. 

Again, expected. People shouldn't really look at all into this.

Interesting performance...

 

[kellzfresh 7,229]

He's been so dreadful, it was a disaster of a performance. If Alonso did what he did today he'll be eaten alive

[Special Juan 27,429]

I like the lad but he looks like he's been pissed for weeks.

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

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

Other way round now.

That was the only game that he's been good defensively. He's consistently bad

I am furious that we did not give Lamptey a fair chance and RJ is performing like that

I am more than sure that Reece will come good. More than just good, actually. He is just having a blip, just like every single youngster in the squad. They are young after all. Just like with Tomori, he is a defender so a bad patch will become more apparent. Don't get me wrong - I fume at some stuff I have been seeing from Reece. But he will get through this period and we will enjoy having him in the starting eleven.
