James Justin (as of 06/10/20) Has made 22 appearances for #LCFC scoring 2 goals and getting 3 assists. He has featured in every position across the back line including left and right wing back.
He is a very competent tackler and can carry the ball forward well. However he has an incredibly low aerial win % despite being 6'0" tall.
Now its hard to compare with previous Leicester full backs because of Justin's low sample size. However he can carry the ball forward and progress up the pitch as well as Ricardo and Chilwell could. Also note the Dribbled Past % is much higher than any of the previous fullbacks.
Justin does not offer a lot of attacking threat averaging only 0.03 xG per 90 and 0.08 xA per 90
While not as proficient going forward as Ricardo, Justin has made a few contributions to the attack.
Now comes the problem, Justin is a liability in defence and the weak point of the back 4. Especially poor in the air and unlike Ricardo or Castagne when he makes a forward run he stays up there too long leaving the backline exposed.
Yes he can be decent going going forward but he is currently too weak physically and in the air to be a starting player for a club competing for Europe in my opinion.
End of thread like and retweets appreciated. #LCFC
