Long been bemoaned on here whenever Reece cannot play.

Recent displays have left me wondering who do we miss most when they are out, Reece or Ben?

Thoughts?

Tough! Very tough!

I would opt for Reece every time, but seeing the impact of Chilwell since his return (properly since injury) I had forgotten just how good he is!

At the current time of posting, I'm going to go for equal!

both are important for different reasons

hope reece stay fits at least 

Reece James hasn't been great in the few games since his injury, but before that he was absolutely phenomenal, arguably the best RB in the world under Tuchel

I also think our lack of capable back ups at RWB has made us miss Reece a lot more, wheras with Chilwell we still had Alonso to fill in. 

Overall I'd say Chilwell is a very good player, but Reece James is world class, with the potential to improve even further.

Reece is the better footballer overall, but they are equally necessary to our success. The options on the left make the loss of Chilwell more easily covered. Whereas on the right, there aren’t those kind of options and the drop off is more noticeable. So, I guess the answer — IMO — is Reece, ever so slightly. 

I think the answer to this question is related to who do you prefer as wb

Cucu or ruben? 

 

There is something different when Chilwell 100% sharp isn't in the side. 

I f**king love my wingbacks.
