Mikmacdo Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Its not shame being stuck behind those two CBs, they really looked good and the captain used to play for Celtic. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SthMelbRed Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Midtjylland defended quite well as a team today. They were disciplined, holding their rigid shape throughout, and worked hard on and off the ball. It was very frustrating to watch, as a Liverpool supporter, which is a testament to how well they did. On another day, it could have been a 1-1 final, rather than a 2-nil loss for them.

He played well, none of the goals was “his” fault....and the yellow was tactical after pressing high unnecessarily.

Is there any noticeable maturation in his game compared to his earlier days with the CMNT? My biggest concern with James was that his decision making often seemed naive. He used to have a bad habit of going in for an unnecessary sliding block and taking himself out of the play leaving the opposition with a ton of room on the box. Hopefully that has been coached out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club Linesman Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Team already down 2-0 after 20 minutes. Hope they decide to save their CB’s for the league and give James a run out vs Ajax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 He still over committing. I've seen him get beat by that 3x in the second half alone and it's the 60" minute. He's just to eager to win the ball Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just to eager to win the ball It's hard to break bad habits sitting on the bench. Players like Zapata, Muriel and Illicic are also of a much higher quality than what he would get in Denmark even if he did start more often Addona and Kadenge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floortom Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Give him a break because he was up against a tough opponent - but I don't think he looked particularly good. He got beat a number of times, was out of position, long balls never really connected. Then again, our CB situation is dire - he's near the top.

Obinna Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) I am happy to see James make his UCL debut and I hope he'll get the experience of European football again soon, but in the few minutes I watched it was the same James. With all due respect, I am just not impressed. I think he has good ball playing ability, which is no surprise given the time he has spent at defensive midfield, but he lacks that certain quality which makes for a good center back. It's the quality that Doneil Henry has too much of, it gets him into trouble sometimes, but James doesn't have enough of it in my opinion. I am not convinced he is a starter for Canada when everyone is healthy.

Ansem Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I watched the game, he looked good to me, enough to build on it and raise his confidence. Did not look like he didn't belong. toontownman, Shway, WyattTaylor and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
