  1. As a chelsea fan I can say yes he is..His presence in the team changes everyone but he love the hospital too much

  2. The stupidity of Chelsea fans and the administration these days I'm sure Thiago Silva has been a MVP player or even Sterling

  3. Gone are the days of Lampard, Terry, and azpilaceuta, Chelsea leader is flaccid today

  4. Every player is capable of doing the job on the pitch yes there some key players that needs to be playing each match but without them too the team plays

  5. Reece James at his best is one of the best fullbacks in Europe he’s elite in both the attacking and defensive facets of his game and he is seen as the most important player for Chelsea and they have a bit of an issue with him. He’s one of the best players on the team but he just keeps getting injured as since the 2021/22 season he has picked up what 6/7 injuries and last season was a nightmare for him as it caused him to miss the World Cup and he was plagued with injuries after it and couldn’t stay fit for most of last season. Now this season in the first game of the season against Liverpool wearing the captain’s armband he got injured again and I don’t know if it’s the way Chelsea train or anything it’s clear that without Reece James they’re much more vulnerable and as important as he is to the team you’re missing a lot of football from him he’s a very good player but is becoming so unreliable right now.

    Also due to his recent injury problems for Chelsea, as of yet he hasn’t proven to Gareth Southgate that he deserves to be England’s first choice right back ahead of Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier due to his inability to stay healthy. In the long run I believe that Reece James will be England’s first choice right back he is very good when fit but those 2 are above him in the pecking order right now. From Chelsea’s perspective their fans and Mauricio Pochettino wanna see him back on the field finally free of injury and that won’t happen.

  6. Interesting that Pulisic is the only player at Chelsea that espn mouthpieces characterized as "injury prone" when the truth is that Chelsea can't keep players fit.

    Turns out,Chelsea was the problem all along.

  7. Why not? Alexander-Arnold the Great is some sort of MVP for FSG Liverpool while making mistakes in every game.

  8. Reece James is incapable of playing more than 5 games in a row. I'm not sure what value he provides when he lies in a hospital bed for 90% of the season collecting 300k a week. Chelsea need to sell him as soon as they can.

  9. Of course Reese James is our most valuable player. He’s always in short supply. He has the rarity of Vibranium, just not from a durability.

  10. Reece James must be sold by Chelsea he has been injured every season. Gusto is ready to step up, and we need to find another right back at the academy.

  11. My list would be
    1. Enzo
    2. Caicedo
    3. James
    4. Sterling
    5. Silva
    Because our fullbacks should be well covered with Cucurella, and Gusto playing quite well at the moment and the other guys are far more important to the buildup and defense but when Reece comes back fit he will be a monster offensively and defensively.
