There are positives – Reece James upbeat despite Chelsea’s winless run extending Reece James said there are positives to be taken by Chelsea after his stoppage-time free-kick salvaged a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth.
For James it was a first league goal since he netted in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham in August 2022, marking his return to the team after the latest in a long line of hamstring injuries that have wrecked much of the last three seasons.
“Collectively as a team we had chances in the first half and sometimes in games when you don’t take the chances, the game goes on and they managed to get two goals.
“It was disappointing to only take a point from the game,’ said James, who came on as a second-half substitute for his first league appearance since November.
That run has seen them drop from second place towards the end of December, when they were considered the side most likely to challenge leaders Liverpool, to fourth and at risk of dropping out of the Champions League places.
