Chelsea legend John Terry says Bues manager Enzo Maresca is not using Reece James in his comfirtable position.
Since returning from injury at the start of January, James has been a regular starter under the Italian manager and has played the majority of his matches at Chelsea in the middle of the pitch this season.
However, in a chat with the club’s website, Terry stated that Maresca is using James in the wrong way tactically this season.
“I agree with that (Tuchel’s assessment). I see him as a defender. I don’t like it, to be honest, people drifting in (to midfielder) I think it is more confusing.

“Midfielders are very comfortable with their back to goal. When defenders step into those roles it is probably the opposite, we are probably not as comfortable receiving the ball with our back to goal.
“A very different role and first and foremost, talking about the 2005-06 season, we conceded 15 goals and top teams are built around good foundations and I think you need that.
“To be able to do that, you need a back four or a solid back three in place.”
