Reece James was one of two players to start for the second game in a row today, and he put in a superb showing to remind everyone that’s now our undisputed first choice at right back.
The England youth international was masterful against Nottingham Forest, marauding up the wing in his typical fashion, while remaining rock solid at the back.
He even put the cream on the cake with a superb bit of skill to beat two players when he’s in front of his own goal. Risky, but the right time to do it – in an FA Cup 3rd round game.

I'm not exaggerating when I say this.
Reece James has one of the best crossing techniques from any RB in world football.

It's not often a Right Back is the man of the match but there's only one Reece James really.
His crossing, his strength, his defending, his dribbling, clean sheet, dominant display. Should've had a hat-trick of assists also.

Reece James is generational. Whipped cross on locks and has the physique of peak Ivanović. Superb footballer. Sky’s the limit for him as far as I’m concerned.

I have no idea how Reece James hasn't started more this season. He is a complete modern fullback. Unreal crossing ability. Needs to be starting more often. Should be the undisputed Chelsea starting RB.

Reece James is the most promising youngster at Chelsea.
Tell me I'm wrong.

If Reece James delivers more crosses like that, he’ll put FedEx out of business.
