I genuinely think this guy has some incredible PR with the help of Chelsea fans and the media. This dude has straight up been pants since march of 2022 and is somehow still in the “best rb itw” convo “when fit/available”. Is built like a gym devotee yet has the endurance and stamina of a wet shoe box, puts in a good attacking performance every 3 to 5 BUSINESS weeks (not even an exaggeration) and defensively, well, ask Anthony F*CKING Gordon who boned him and got him sent to the showers, probably for the better.
Are you joking? This is prime football reddit recency dim-wittedness.
You make this post after the first bad performance he’s had in years.
James started getting his high rating because he completely shuts down every winger he meets, while also being one of the best attacking full backs in the world. The year Chelsea won the CL their attack pretty much ran through James and Chillwell.
You can also literally just look back to his last game where Doku was in his pocket the entire time he was on the pitch.
Gordon hardly cooked him through skill. James having an uncharacteristic error was his only chance tbh
Ludicrous post.
