Chelsea and England captain soon
He’s the most well rounded in the league for sure. I don’t watch enough overseas football to comment on if he’s the best in the world though.

Who do you think is better than James?
Better not be Dalot
Yeah it’s pretty clear cut now

Id like to see the england part.
I'd say Pavard and Carvajal are 1 and 2 right now.
Chelsea fans desperate for James to be better than TAA but he just doesn't have the tools. Needs 3 CBs to make him look good in defence and not fit to lace TAA boots in attack.
He's up there, but for me Hakimi and Kimmich (not playing there as much anymore) are a bit better but they are also more experienced than James so he will catch up. I do think he's by far the best English FB as TAA has fallen off a cliff. He's just not been great offensively, while he's always been fragile defensively but so were Dani Alves and Maicon.

TAA is not even in the discussion for best fullback in the world. He cost his team a CL final with bad defending
From an attacking perspective there is no better fullback on the planet than TAA.
His form this season is definitely up there but Hakimi has something to say about being the best this season

Hard to quantify. Trent basically plays as a midfielder. I saw the other day a stat on MNF and he’s had something like double the crosses of the next highest so the actual goal conversion % is pretty low

So when we talk about attack he is a midfielder, but when we talk about defence he is judged like any other fullback? He can't be up the pitch and back to defend for 90 minutes. We know that playing him in an advanced role creates a weakness in our defence but the trade off is that he is invaluable in attack. He would be a much better defender if he didn't have to play an advanced role.

Naah. We were always gonna concede at least one goal at some point. The attack was not sharp. Hard to win a CL final without scoring at least once.

I rarely get on him about being caught out up field, its obviously a tactic and one that is as you mention, a trade off. However even when he is in position or one on one or has to defend, he's poor at it.
The guy is not a traditional full back because his positioning is completely different. But its hard to say hes the best attacking fullback in the world.
If someone crosses 100 times and creates 5 goals and someone else crosses 20 times and creates 4 goals, whats best.
