This is all subjective I suppose, but I must have a different definition of excellent. 

 

James played well within his limitations as a player. He moved the ball well and was neat and tidy. He's not the sort of player to break lines with surging runs forward, play defence splitting passes or take players out of the game with innovative flicks or runs. He's not a player who has dramatically high stats for tackles or interceptions over the course of a game.

 

For me that's the sort of performance that cries out excellent. James is rarely that sort of player and, for me, he wasn't against Huddersfield. He got an ovation for a good performance after a long injury absence. 

 

As I say - happy to disagree on a subjective assessment. 

did you see his ball to vardy against gladbach superb give him a run of games and he will come good

I'm not saying he can't do these things, but more that he rarely does enough of them for me.

 

I like James as a player, but just think he's limited and if we're pushing for top half Premier League I'm not sure he's the type of player who should be 1st choice. I'd currently have him 4th at the moment behind Iborra and Ndidi and (hopefully) Silva.

 

I'd be more than happy to change that opinion as I love it when players elevate themselves to a level I wasn't expecting. I didn't, however, see it against Huddersfield, but what I did see was a good solid performance: 7/10 (or 6.65 without the rounding up). ?

If Silva was ugly he wouldn't have got such a high rating. Nor would he have been cheered every time he touched the ball. He has become a 'fans favourite' based on nothing more than the fact he's as handsome as ****.

Of course
