Harder game for him today but not only did he provide most of our creativity he got through quite a bit of defending.

He was also in the ref’s ear a lot which our players have traditionally been shy at to our disadvantage.
That was another thing, he was pulled back on a break literally in front of Oliver but no card given. Was doing the "give him a card" thing and the commentators were saying "you never like to see that....oh, looks like he was right. Still, don't want to see that". WTF??
 
He's had an assist, created a big chance for Richarlison, been crucial in the buildup to the equalizer, been involved in creating that chance Dom whiffed and had a decent go at goal himself. And that's without talking about the general influence he has on all of our ball movement. He's some player and he was magnificent again.

I totally agree. It was challenging game for James but after just returning from international duty it wasn't surprising. Overall though he did well and two of his passes should have been goals. I also don't think he should have gotten that yellow.

Hahaha, James is definitely no shy about being on a ref's ear.
 
Really surprised people are saying today was different to any other game. Yeah, he looked leggy and wasn't involved all the time but that's the way it's been this season. He's not Mane and if people are expecting him to be involved all the time they're going to be disappointed.

He has ridiculous quality though and is the reason we got anything out of that game.

Essentially we played a better team. He was still great.
