Reece James has always been a prospect since his debut. Everything about him has always been based on hope. James hasn't done anything spectacular or remarkable in Chelsea, talk about in football. But he's the best modern Right Back.
Being a Chelsea player makes you automatically the best player in your position, nobody else comes close. It irks me to see lots of people belittle Trent Alexander-Arnold for James. In the right senses, TAA is everything James wants to be: he dreams about getting to TAA's level, and he wants to make a name for himself like TAA.
TAA, arguably, is not your grade-A defender, but he makes it up in offense. One mustn't have it all. Statistically, James is not better than TAA. Where James is better than TAA is in hope and prospects, which is dwindling as the day goes by.
On the flip side, most people that lambast TAA, in their minds, wish they have or would have him in their teams. Trent Alexander-Arnold might have lots of problems in his life, but not to be like Reece James. On the other hand, Reece James will do anything humanly possible to be like Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Drops PEN
and walks away
. Like I remember this match where Liverpool was given a corner kick and Arnold acted like he wasn't the one to kick and ran back to kick and someone scored. I mean that was never seen before
