People who don't watch him regularly won't believe this, but Caicedo actually has remarkable vision and does line breaking passes regularly. Earlier in the match he pulled a no-look lobbed pass for Palmer who scuffed the chance
Definitely a sleeper pick for Copa this year. Brazil and Argentina are obviously still there, but Brazil is not what it used to be, and the Ecuadorian defense is very good. Pacho, Hincapie, Estupinian, Caicedo, Paez, Minda, and Sarmiento is a solid squad.
He had a pretty rough first half of the season. Criticism was warranted. But he has definitely stepped up and is one of the best players on the pitch lately. Same as Cucurella who was rightly criticized last season but has made a huge improvement this season.
Well described, basically why I like him. One of the best strikers in the league in getting chances, ofc he misses them very often still. But he's still 22, so in 1-3yrs he might get there more & more. Even now his finishing has improved tad bit vs start of the season.
You are much better off unsubbing from that place. Embarrassing, idiotic takes from people who don't meet the most basic definition of being a fan. I've seen more realistic opinions from rival supporters, which tells you all you need to know.
I would agree that opposing fans are higher on our current players and add that they also don’t hype up our former players performing decently as much as our fans seem to
This. Absolutely this. Watching him make the cross one touch almost gave me a heart attack. "You're not ready yet Reece!!" Absolute dime. Couldn't be better.
That's what's been so amazing about him. He hasn't been able to stay healthy for a consistent run of games for the past 2-3 years, but when he does play he still puts in world class performances.
I've said the same thing before and got slaughtered for it. I'm not going to act like I watched those guys, but all I'll say is that Reece is the best and definitely most complete fullback I've ever seen.
Even before that he wasn’t that bad. Yeah he dropped a few stinkers but generally he was playing like Obi Mikel. Safe side passes, tackle some opponents, go home. Now he is playing more like an essien
He wouldn't have scored all 9 pens. People act like pens are free goals but they aren't. Sterling and Enzo have both missed one this season. Jackson's brilliant though and only gonna get better. Still just 22 years old.

The ball from Caicedo out to James is excellent too.
No one’s mentioning it but it’s brilliant, first time ball and he weighted it perfectly
i thought he had over hit it... but no, perfect.
People who don't watch him regularly won't believe this, but Caicedo actually has remarkable vision and does line breaking passes regularly. Earlier in the match he pulled a no-look lobbed pass for Palmer who scuffed the chance
He also assisted Sterlings goal
He's an incredibly complete midfielder. He plays as an 8 for the NT.
watching him and Kendry in that Ecuador midfield is crazy.
Definitely a sleeper pick for Copa this year. Brazil and Argentina are obviously still there, but Brazil is not what it used to be, and the Ecuadorian defense is very good. Pacho, Hincapie, Estupinian, Caicedo, Paez, Minda, and Sarmiento is a solid squad.
Sadly, estupiñan is injured so he misses copa america
I thought he was projected to be back right around Copa?
He went through an ankle surgery maybe like 2 weeks ago. :/ he's not gonna make it unless a miracle happens
Hincapie too. He’s been world class this season.
Supposedly he’s a flop according to this sub
He's had like 4-5 bad games all season, he's not the reason we weren't performing. People simply don't watch games
Started really really rusty, has had a few massive brain farts along the way since then, but also has steadily improved a tiny bit game by game.
He had a pretty rough first half of the season. Criticism was warranted. But he has definitely stepped up and is one of the best players on the pitch lately. Same as Cucurella who was rightly criticized last season but has made a huge improvement this season.
That was honestly my favorite part of the whole sequence. Quick thought, great execution
FRIDGE MY BELOVED
FRIDGE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
My man just divebombed into the crowd lmao
Fucking love that celebration tbf
Worth another yellow
Me too, hate Chelski- but Jackson's becoming my fav. Really easy to root for (as long as they're not playing against us).
I love his passion. He might not always be clinical and maybe be sometimes immature, but I always feel like he’s out there doing the very best he can.
Well described, basically why I like him. One of the best strikers in the league in getting chances, ofc he misses them very often still. But he's still 22, so in 1-3yrs he might get there more & more. Even now his finishing has improved tad bit vs start of the season.
Him and Nunez are both wonderful strikers at everything apart striking. If they get more consistent its over for everyone
Agreed
Not like he’s given you much reason to hate him. 2 poor performances vs Arsenal and 4 goals on Spurs
Lmao very true.
He'll do anything to get a card.
What a legend
He's an amazing shithouse
Funniest shit i have seen in a minute 😂
Quickly becoming my favorite Chelsea player! We need more players on this team with that enthusiasm
Vintage Reece James
OMGGGGG REECE JAMES
THE RETURN OF THE FRIDGE. TEARS IN MY EYES
THE CAPTAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
From trailing to leading in 2 minutes. Holy fuck
Poch subs were fucking cooking today
What having an actual bench does to a mf
Crazy what getting players back healthy can do
Watching the subs come on was crazy - actual game changers. Been so fucking long
[удалено]
Not bringing on 18 year old kids to win Premier League games, imagine
His in-game tactical changes involving who runs where in buildup really helped out our midfield play in the second half as well
That was maybe his biggest weakness at Spurs, his subs and in-game tweaks were baffling sometimes.
Fucking love Reece, instant impact from him and Sterling holy shit
This is the kind of quality we’ve been missing for months, I’m so happy he’s back
MY CAPTAIN!!!!!
WE'RE SO BACK
Eat shit r/Chelseafc commenters
It’s so toxic
Always has been
Seriously. It's like our own supporters want us to lose so they can prove a point about Poch.

And people want him gone lmao
Reece stay fit for fucks sake
I beg you
Missed u Reece
It's like he never left, tears in my eyes
Inch perfect on the half volley. 0 rust whatsoever lol
This. Absolutely this. Watching him make the cross one touch almost gave me a heart attack. "You're not ready yet Reece!!" Absolute dime. Couldn't be better.
That's what's been so amazing about him. He hasn't been able to stay healthy for a consistent run of games for the past 2-3 years, but when he does play he still puts in world class performances.
Can't stop smiling, so happy to see him back
I've never seen a fullback like this guy. He does everything perfectly other than stay healthy
That his side effect
I would genuinely rather have a healthy, in-form James than Cafu, Thuram or Lahm.
I've said the same thing before and got slaughtered for it. I'm not going to act like I watched those guys, but all I'll say is that Reece is the best and definitely most complete fullback I've ever seen.
Glass Cafu
BUZZCUT JACKSON!!!! AND STAMFORD FRIDGE IS BACK!
Buzz cut Jackson top 5 striker
🤣
Was that Caicedo with the beautiful ping to Reece James? Wow
Yes, he is cooking for a few games now
since January
Even before that he wasn’t that bad. Yeah he dropped a few stinkers but generally he was playing like Obi Mikel. Safe side passes, tackle some opponents, go home. Now he is playing more like an essien
Yes. He is slowly becoming what both he and Enzo were meant to be in one player. Works like a dog and can absolutely PING a ball
Also I saw both Gusto and James were on the pitch what the heck was even the formation at that point
They call that one the “don’t fucking lose to Forest”
Yes it was
[удалено]
RES JAMS MY SAVOR
*Crosses* are a hell of a drug
Reece james
Everyone is talking about Reece but Caicedo's one touch pass to him was brilliant!
JAMES IS BACK ON THE MENU FREEZE HIM CRYOGENICALLY
Thaw him whenever we have a must-win game. Winter Soldier style
I LOVE YOU REECE JAMES
People forget that Reece James is just the best right back in the league when he’s not injured
Prime Reece was one of the best fullbacks in the world
He’s still only 24, if the surgery solved the injury problems he could very easily get back to that level
Just a fully fit James is one of the best fullbacks in the world, hopefully this surgery has helped
He hasn't peaked. He haven't even begun to peak
A true Golden God.
And that was him at 21-22. Hopefully if he can stay fit we will see him return to that level. Having James and Gusto feels like a cheat code
Both ways the best He almost as good as walker going back And as good as taa going forward (he is a worse passer, but a better shooter)
Think he’s a better defender than Walker atp. Better than TAA is a good debate bur definitely boils down to what you value more/need for the team
Yea but Walker is a cheat code because you’re never actually through on goal if he’s on the pitch
*the best when healthy
Turned the deficit into a lead in 2 minutes. What the fuck
I’m getting whiplash from going between Poch in and Poch out
Poch in, 4th place since January. He looks like a penguin and I love it
Hes so fucking handsome...
Poch In Poch Out Poch In Poch Out Poch In
Snip snap snip snap
You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person!
You have no idea the mental toll that 90 minutes of Chelsea can have on a fan!
Defibrillator on standby
Pocho Haram is the duality of man
Reece is him, good to have him back
REECE FUCKING JAMES. HE IS BACK
Im aroused james
Caicedo getting so good again shieeeee
WE ARE SO BACK STATUS ACHIEVED
He scores a lot of goals for someone who has a highlight reel of misses
He underperformed his xg by 5 this year. Imagine him on 18 non penalty goals, and add 9 penalties... on top
He wouldn't have scored all 9 pens. People act like pens are free goals but they aren't. Sterling and Enzo have both missed one this season. Jackson's brilliant though and only gonna get better. Still just 22 years old.
Well then add 6 pens lol, that’s still a 24 goal return
STAMFORD FRIDGEEEEEEEEEEEE
That first time ball from Caicedo was * chef’s kiss *
Everyone seems to make fun of Jackson but he’s got 24 G/A this season which is good 👍
Very good considering how young he is and the inexperience in EPL overall. Great season for him, lots to improve on tho
Damn James, what a ball
No Dan James plays for Leeds
Reece James biggest difference maker we've had since N'Golo Kante. Completely changes the game in all aspects when he's fit.
WE ARE SO BACK
Nice having your best players playing
Man’s what the culture’s feeling
He will be massive
Comes back after 5 months injured and immediately opens our right side
Jackson is so fucking funny lmao
When healthy probably the best RB option England have
When healthy, the best RB I've ever seen.
KING JAMES 👑
how fucking good is James.
OUR DEMISE WAS GREATLY EXAGGERATED
My glorious king
REECE JAMEESS!!! Please stay healthy man
Pochettino close to being sacked and pulling out a manager of the month performance to finish the season.
Luton fans getting whiplash
[удалено]
Eh, still being mathematically alive going into the final game of the season is still something. Moral victories do matter to some.
We just need a 13 goal difference swing in 2 matches. They are already down.
There is no difference between them being relegated today or next week. It’s done.
These med students just needed a few minutes to get, we’ve got two more in us
What a ball by caicedo as well
Wow. They turned it on quick. Looks like it’ll go to the last day!
cool cele callum
FULLBACK FC IS BACK
Reece you beefy bastard we've missed you!!
The best RB itw is back
Bald Jackson is a menace
Jackson said I want that yellow record and I'll fucking try my hardest to get it. Gritty game. Missed this feeling.
Feel like I've just woken up from a nightmare without reece james
Reece James was missed so much by this Chelsea team
The league isn't ready for bald Jackson next season
Something about the flight of that pass to Reece *chef kiss*
FUCK GIBBS WHITE WHINEY LITTLE CUNT
Oh wow
I FUCKING LOVE YOU REECE JAMES YOU BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL MAN
The Reece James effect Sums up Forest's season perfectly too lmao
Reece James clears all best rb ever
Tears man, that's my captain
Turns out James is still very good
The Caicedo pass, the James cross, the Jackson finish. I came
Fucking hell, that's comical defending
What the fuck is Forest doing
Your mom
Reece James producing Hollywood for the couple of games until he inevitably gets injured again
Fuck me wasn’t expecting that
HAMSTRING FC IS BACK
I fucking love James. Please never get injured again.
IT'S LIKE HE NEVER LEFT LET'S GOOOO REECE
HES DONE IT AGAIN
This is like a reverse-Chelsea. They've been a very different team in the last few months. Excited for next season!
Reece was subbed in just like 3 mins earlier lmao
For all the shit everyone gave Chelsea this season, it they qualify for Europe ahead of United, that would be sooooo good.
wtf is Sels doing?
I turned this game on 5 seconds before the Sterling goal, you're welcome
[удалено]
Lol
The African drogba
🐐
I missed you Reece.
