If James was less selfish he'd probably make the team more often, by getting lot more assists.

Thing is, it requires a really, really good baller to even get into the positions Daniel James does. He's so VERY good at the middle product, the end product just keeps lacking. But he's doing his bit, he's putting a serious shift in and will be replaced by Sancho at half time.

Also, Lindelöf is doing his very best to somehow put Varane on the bench. Heroic efforts from him tonight

This is like Rooney's silent domination all over again

PoTMS · Aug 14, 2021

James is just laughable now.

Ciddy · Aug 14, 2021

I do genuinely try and see the best in all our players, but James has no height, no weight, no touch. He’s brushed off the ball so easily and VdB has been criticised for being too lightweight. Sancho MUST have 45 mins in him. Add Sancho at half-time and it naturally opens up Leeds even more as they’ll have to at least put two on him.

Not even in the top 100.

Greenwood my word. Brilliant.

James how are you scuffing that.

Considering how utterly useless Dan James continues to be, what was the downside of starting Jadon Sancho????

I assume he is not match fit after playing 10 minutes in the Eurons

James35 · Aug 14, 2021

We need a second, I'm certain we wont win this one nil.

Alemar · Aug 14, 2021

James could have scored 3 or 4 already if he had any ability to shoot the foot ball. Doesn’t Ole see???

Ole saying to Carrick : Sancho would have buried that one.

Greenwood and Pogba, my God. Some fantastic football played.

Keep trying lad, don't mind these lot.

James is at least three levels below other players on this team talent-wise. He should be warming bench and I cannot
wait to see how we look with Sancho instead.

Nah, shouldn’t even be playing for us. He’s a Championship player at best. He’s not even that young. Surely after 3 seasons we would realise he isn’t going to make it. Replace him with Sancho and we look a different team.

Giggsy13 · Aug 14, 2021

James is such an underwhelming footballer

JB08 · Aug 14, 2021

James is genuinely terrible :lol:

I feel bad for saying it but it’s true. It’s like watching a Wycombe player in our team.

Ole’s best impression of Mr. Bean there.

WPMUFC · Aug 14, 2021

i don't want to pick on James, but its just a matter of watching the TV. He's the odd man out. James thrives in a ball over the top and pace to beat the man system. He's not a Tiki-taka type player.

I feel like James at his best is a 70 min sub that just kills tired defences with pace.

Can't use that as an excuse if he is opting to not buy a DM which would actually get the best out of all our Midfielders since they are all number 8s bar Matic

Well they have been sensational this half.

Silverman · Aug 14, 2021

James needs to start eating about 5,000 kcals a day and hit the gym 6 days a week.

Not sure. He's been training with us for a while, and Ole said Jadon actually exceeded his expectation for how sharp he is in training? We could have started him and subbbed if he got tired, instead of not starting?

mu4c_20le · Aug 14, 2021

Ole reaction to james :lol:

Jules_T · Aug 14, 2021

Sancho for James is the easiest sub ever

Jaxa · Aug 14, 2021

Awww cmon hook James at HT and put him out his misery

Sancho must be licking his lips at those chances James is getting thinking I’d have 2 goals by now

Rightnr · Aug 14, 2021

Despite all the white knights protecting James on this thread he's not it.

Good half for the first game though and results is what matters at the start until we can get our first eleven playing together.

VidaRed · Aug 14, 2021

James has a knack of getting into good positions, if he had the skill he'd be a top player.

This thread did not used to be this toxic. Some serious gowls in here now.

It has been like that for as much as I can remember, half of the posters are watching games in a parallel universe.

He won’t play any big games, his time is limited.

He isnt good at the beginning, middle or end.

Our most talented player. Best player on the pitch for me.

Andycoleno9 · Aug 14, 2021

Great half. Playing well. James is out of depth but well....we all knew that

Reapersoul20 · Aug 14, 2021

You know what this thread is missing? Some more Dan James criticism. Can anyone sort that out please ? Thanks.

Glad we managed to score first goal, but we look so shaky. It absolutely sucks to see Fred, McT and goddamned Dan James in the opening game. Pogba playing as a winger is also pretty horrible, despite the assist.

We need Sancho to come in, we really needed a midfielder and I would prefer to see some of our exciting youngsters to this underwhelming line-up.

McT has been MOTM so far.

Pogba isn’t playing as a winger. And has a great assist to his name.
