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.
lol he’s the best RB in the world and most complete as well.
This’s a player that’s barely 100% fit due to him getting injured after every 5 games. Yet he comes back rusty and put in a performance that’s better than 98% of RB.
He had a poor game today and all of a sudden, you all come out of your shell and say he’s overrated. Why did you have to post this now? Why didn’t you make this post after the City game???
That’s the problem I have with you lot on social media. When you player is on form, it would all be cricket… but as soon as the player has a poor game, tweets and post will be about how that player is overrated.
This’s what VVD suffers from. Dude would be flawless in 95% of LFC games, but has one stinker and people begin to talk about how overrated he is.
James is a top player just a shame about all the injuries
He’s brilliant. One red card doesn’t change how great he’s been for the last couple years. For context I am not a Chelsea fan.
Chelsea Fan here. I love The Fridge, but he has been overplayed and rushed back from injuries far to regularly over the past 2 and a half seasons.
When he is fit and starts on a regular basis, he is the best in the league.
Absolutely not. He’s had shocking luck with long term injuries. When he’s fit he’s the best player on the park and I’m a Leeds fan.
He reminds me of Ledley King in some ways. One of the best players in his position. Never fit
Much like Ledley he’ll never be seen as world class by fans outside of his club due to the fact he’s never available.
He’s solid but also very overrated at the same time imo.
Whenever he starts he’s most of the time the best player on the pitch. Problem is that he’s half the time suspended or injured.
Dude is an absolutely amazing player.
Shame we won’t see him play for more than a few games every 6 months or so.
As a Liverpool fan you’ve lost it, my guy. James is up there with Walker, TAA, and anyone else who decides to step their game up year in and out. The only one I don’t find him all-around better than is TAA and that’s partly my bias and also TAA general availability and form recently is higher.
The man has less tan 30 G/A contributions in all his carreer. That’s what overrated means.
He has struggled for a long time with injuries so that keeps him off the pitch. But in the minutes he does play he’s always stellar imo. Proper Chelsea capt, but he’s so young that the mentality isn’t always there. Skill-wise he’s a beauty but his form comes and goes
every 3 to 5 BUSINESS weeks
LMFAOO I choked
Yes he is. Chelsea fans can be very annoying.
Chelsea fan here. Yeah he is. Great player on his day, that’s about it. Chelsea fans in general overrate their players. I’m Argentinian, and I was in disbelief when someone said that Enzo is the next Lampard. Or that Cole Palmer is an upgrade from Jorginho. Really insane stuff.
cole palmer doesn’t even play close to Jorginho position and everybody knows this. I think you just made that up or you ‘someone’ is an 8 y.o. kid
I know they don’t play anywhere near the same, which is why it was crazy. Maybe it was because they offloaded Jorginho and got a Cole Palmer who is good. It just felt like they were shitting on a past player for no reason.
And I wish I could make up something that crazy. I found the comment on a Chelsea fan page on Instagram.
Okay so I looked back at the context. They were talking about signing Palmer and Enzo after offloading Jorginho and Kai. I guess the new players were “upgrades” because Kai didn’t work out and Jorginho was past his best. I dm’d you the screenshot
well, if you’re comparing palmer with Kai, I do believe palmer is playing better.
Kai will always have his Leverkusen hype and cl final goal. But palmer is currently an upgrade on him.
