Chelsea drew 1-1 at West Ham in an early kick-off yesterday and Reece James’ performance caught the eye of rugby star and huge Liverpool fan Willie Isa.
After Joao Félix had initially put Graham Potter’s side ahead at the London Stadium, James took some of the blame for the Hammers’ equalizer after he was caught sleeping at the far post, allowing Emerson to shoot point-blank. .
There’s a long-running debate between Liverpool and Chelsea supporters over who is the better right-back between Trent Alexander-Arnold and James, and Isa thinks our No. 66 would have been mocked if he’d made the same mistake as the Chelsea player. .
“Bro if I was Trent,” the Wigan Warriors man wrote in a tweet posted on his official Twitter account. “Imagine the talk. Just say.”

Both players have their strengths and weaknesses, but we think the threat Scouser poses going forward is what sets him apart from all the other full-backs.
His passing ability is simply world class and while his defensive ability can be questioned at times, we are a much weaker team when he is not in the starting XI.
Some supporters have called for placing the England international in a midfield role with our current midfield options simply not working, but at the moment that’s an idea Jurgen Klopp seems to be against.
Although we signed young Scotsman Calvin Ramsay from Aberdeen in the summer, he has yet to challenge the 24-year-old for a starting spot and it will be interesting to see if we look to add reinforcements in the box at the end of the season. .
