the fox Posted 19 July 2017 Posted 19 July 2017 so, are people gonna gloss over the positive effect that matty had on mahrez? he pushed forward a lot, offloaded the ball to mahrez in the opositiong half and actully overlapped him and offered support. all those things that kante did that contribute to mahrez's 2015/2016 season. i'm actually mad because it's "mahrez is playing for a move" instead of "james was great" i know its just a preseason game, but i'm in favour of james starting! COME ON? JAMES!!!!
whoareyaaa Posted 19 July 2017 Posted 19 July 2017 I think you forgot the last 3 words of your thread title AS A FAN
WigstonWanderer Posted 20 July 2017 Posted 20 July 2017 Haha, why not? I seem to remember the very idea of Vardy being considered for England was laughed out of court here when first suggested. Too early to say though. I just hope his knee holds out for him.

Kinowe Soorie Posted 20 July 2017 Posted 20 July 2017 I said when we got promoted that James and Drinkwater were international class, got 50% correct so far!

In my opinion Dembele makes him look better than he is. Soon as he's moved to centre back which is supposed to be his 'natural position' he looks utterly and completely lost.
Filberts lovechild Posted 20 July 2017 Posted 20 July 2017 Struggle for game time with us and go off on loan. Is he getting ahead of Ndidi, Drinky and Iborra? At the moment we don't know if he's a step up from Amartey and King. I like your optimism tho ?

Soon as he's moved to centre back which is supposed to be his 'natural position' he looks utterly and completely lost. By that logic, Gareth Bale's 'default postion' is leftback; Dier rose to prominence when converted to a midfielder, and his form has crashed after being moved backwards again. He he was good for England pre-euros 16 when he was playing midfield every week; part of the appeal of a United transfer for him is the capacity to play in his best position perpetually.
TJB-fox Posted 21 July 2017 Posted 21 July 2017 Eric Dier wank? Jesus Christ, solid reminder to have a break from FT every now and then

Collymore Posted 22 July 2017 Posted 22 July 2017 James was certainly peaking right before he got injured. Sadly I don't think it's a matter of getting the form back more that his body might not be up to the top level anymore. I remember Hamer in that guess who video saying "massive nose and turns like a bus beep beep beep!"

He's looked very sharp so far, difficult today being outnumbered, but some of his passing and some of the touches and turns he's been doing have been top draw.
Guest seanfox778 Posted 22 July 2017 Posted 22 July 2017 I just went to look up his age and it's his birthday today so happy birthday Matty! (I'm well aware he won't be reading this).

It was a good performance, especially while carrying Drinkwater. Him and Ndidi would be a more mutually beneficial partnership. He reminds me of Gareth Barry; built like a pub player, seemingly immobile, but reads the game well enough to screen the defence with spatial occupation, and very clever with his distribution of the ball.
