Yes I agree AK & DD are ahead in ability but AK was out injured. I think Danns would have been a better choice than james or at least coming on as a sub
Gotta say - I like Matty James. Does a lot of work and rarely gives the ball away. Plays the game very simply, and defends really well. Also sits back and covers DD when he gets forward. Personally would play James in front of Danns, but reckon Andy King will play if he is fit. DD has played well (apart from the Wolves game), but our build up play is often quite slow when he is controlling it (bit like Wellens). That said, when you have Marshall and Knockaert in front of you, ball retention is the most important thing for the CMs.
