    2020/21 James Rodriguez

    No. Yerry is also Colombian (and me too). Good to see the team winning again. Great defending today. Siggy did ok, but it would have been nice to have James for the set piece at 21 yards, would´nt it?

    Well, right in the middle between Madrid and Barcelona, in straight line, there is Real Zaragoza SAD (now at second division). Not so bad, then.

    I like this idea. Except that James might not be able to start. He might start from the bench. We are indeed in some trouble.

    There is no question about it. James and Allan would have not come but for Ancelotti, and they will leave if he does.

    2020/21 Alex Iwobi

    The most worrisome for me today, was what I did not see in Iwobi and Gilfy: the spirit to put the team ahead of their own success, which we have seen in every Everton pleyer all season. Every pleyer when faced with the choice in the past five games, has favored what was best for the team. I did...

    Doesn´t James take corners from both sides?

    Well, indeed. You may be right. Perhaps the worst thing he did was to take the corners, instead of James. Or perhaps he did so beacuse James was injured still.

    Siggurdson worse than Iwobi?

    2020/21 James Rodriguez

    Why did Gilfy take the corner kicks instead of James? If you have James serving DCL, Yerry and Keane, this is as strong as it gets for aerial offensive. Was it because James was injured, or was it because Carlo wanted to give Gilfy the opportunity? It is hard to find a better player in the...

    James looks as if he has not fully recovered; Siggy taking all set pieces also suggests the same

    2020/21 James Rodriguez

    This depends in no small amount from what Ancelotti does. If Don Carlo stays for a few seasons, James will stay. Also, believe it or not, Yerry plays a role as well. Colombians (Latin American people in general), value friendship and love in the work environment comparatively higher than people...

    2020/21 James Rodriguez

    I agree; also for the Colombian jersey (together with El Pibe, who was soooo good). But what do Evertonians think about his supposed defensive weaknesses? Are they true? Do they matter that much in today´s football (and hence, why players of this kind are becoming so rare)?

    2020/21 Yerry Mina

    Ancelotti likes to have players compete; it iws good we have options. As VVD's recent passing (according to media accounts) demonstrate, the depth of the team is key. Everton has built a strong base, with Holgate coming back soon

    2020/21 James Rodriguez

    Arguably, James' highest impact and value for Everton may come from matches against weaker oponents: First, all points count the same. Second: Against a weaker team, a few key passes from James may turn a game in our favor early, and then he can go out of the pitch for others to manage...

    2020/21 James Rodriguez

    In fact, James has some 46 million followers in Instagram alone, all over the planet. I guess it is because he is such a lousy player.. that is the reason so many people follow him worldwide. And it seems Liverpool has 20 million Instagram followers, so James alone more than doubles them. It...

    A little over a month ago a red fan sent me a copuple of memes like this. I gladly sent them back to him this week, with my compliments. Who is laughing now?? Quite a lot has happened in such a short time. Everton is becoming a hugely popular team not only in Colombia but also in the USA and...

    Players have a tremendous incentive to retian the top spot at the table; this may help. And DCL and others are flying anyway. Midflied is much stronger than last year. Even without James and Richi, I say we win.
