“Enormous problems”… Alan Shearer asserts that Chelsea player battled significantly against Newcastle.

Following his red card during Chelsea’s despondent loss at Newcastle United, Reece James will now endure an additional period of time sidelined.

On Saturday afternoon, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino witnessed his squad suffer its worst performance of the season, falling 4-1 to Newcastle at St James’ Park.

At 1-1 at halftime, Raheem Sterling’s sixth goal of the season, which came from a free-kick, was a positive development for the visitors. Regrettably, the Blues faltered in the second portion of the Premier League match.

In the 73rd minute, Reece James, age 23, was shown a second yellow card, which did not benefit his team. For his dismissal, Chris Waddle referred to Chelsea’s captain as “silly,” according to BBC Sport.

Due to a one-game suspension, the right-back will miss next Sunday’s league match at home against Brighton.

Legendary Newcastle midfielder and BBC analyst Alan Shearer believes his former club intimidated Chelsea over the weekend.

In particular, he observed James struggle considerably against Anthony Gordon of Newcastle.

Chelsea performed abysmally in the second half. “I believe Newcastle’s pressing caused them to perform poorly,” Shearer said on BBC Radio 5 Live at 5:18 p.m. on November 25.

“Gordon appears to be having a great time at Newcastle; he thought he was phenomenal and caused James a great deal of trouble.” “James was rejected as a result of his own frustration.”

We felt that James played quite solidly for the majority of the Newcastle match prior to his red card.

His sending off is solely his own fault; the initial detention was unnecessary and resulted from his lack of discipline.

Nevertheless, in contrast to some of his defensive comrades who were struggling, he appeared more composed.

James is an exceptional player who elevates Chelsea to their absolute best when in form, which is concerning given the limited number of games he appears each season. As captain, he undoubtedly did not set the tone either.
