‘Pochettino doesn’t know how to coach a big club, otherwise why would you keep a player like Him on the bench when you want to win games against Manchester United?’ Alan Shearer, refers to Pochettino as a ‘BABY COACH’ for benching the £80 million star in Chelsea’s Defeat yesterday
Reece James starts on the bench for Chelsea against Manchester United last night – walexsports.com
If you asked any Chelsea supporter what team they expected yesterday night, Reece James would have been on it.
He’s our captain and one of our top players, and his backup at right back, Malo Gusto, is out with an injury.
Not only that, but James got a weekend off due to his suspension, so he’s well rested as well.
So it came as a surprise to see him on the bench for tonight’s game against Manchester United, according to insider Nathan Gissing, who claims it’s due to “knee pain.”
We hope it’s small, and Gissing adds that James is likely to play a role. But, if the issue is so trivial, why bench him at all? And, if it’s terrible enough to take him out of the starting lineup, why put him in as a substitute?
Hopefully, manager Mauricio Pochettino will reveal more in his press conference later today.
