Watching the game against Norwich and has been the standout player and most obvious choice for MOTM. His strength is ridiculous. Amazing how he is relied on for their set pieces also. Real gem we have

Back in training, but won't feature before the end of the year, according to Maresca., because he wants to take time building back his fitness.

Hope he can suggest something different for his physical conditioning too.

With Gusto and Cucurella both fit, we are okay, but the moment we need to bring in a Disasi we are conceding a lot of advantages we have. This is where James is missed.

We need a backup LB for sure., but the priority should be a top tier CB (if possible)

So that's now Enzo, Caicedo, Lavia, James and Santos for 2 positions. 

Finally got him playing where he should've been playing after his first bad injury. Only now, after multiple injuries- which I put down to having the wrong frame to play a modern FB/WB role - we put him there.

Only Enzo saw that. 

This is why I like Enzo. Yes we drop a bit but he has a lot that we can build for next season. 

I sure do hope we finish top 4 so he can have more freedom this summer with shaping the squad.

I’ve been saying for awhile as well Reece should play as a holding midfielder after his first major injury too. He was brilliant there for Wigan and he has the technical ability to do so. Also it limits his need to sprint after fast wingers to do in his dodgy hamstrings

Did he see it or did he see him get out spirited by Fabian Schar and thought, got to put him somewhere else, then figure it out?

Looks ordinary in midfield.

Nullifying any of his offensive qualities playing there.

And his positioning is not great either.

If we can't count on James to play in RB/RCB/RWB, might as well not play him at all.

He was the only player that played balls that was dangerous yesterday. He is still getting fit but at least he is capable of playing in the wingers/fb's over the top. The others just play backwards/sidewards tippy tappy balls with zero zip.

I don't deny James can be useful. Just not in midfield.

At least, he wasn't convincing against Arsenal.

Hopefully Lavia returning will allow James to back to RB.

And with Jackson returning after the break, the team can go back to playing how it used to last year.
