2020/21 James Rodriguez

[BlueToff]

Thought he put in some graft last night. Probably won the ball back more than Siggy did

Unfortunately not.

Sigurdsson won it back 11 times for us, which is more than any of our players (indeed only Dunk had 11 on Brighton's team). James had 6 recoveries.

Luxury player

I love James, but, playing him in that midfield for 90 minutes is a recipe for disaster, I hope he is fit for the spuds on Friday, but, I doubt it somehow. We really need to find a way to manage his playing time. I know last night could not be avoided, but, there have been times when he has played when obviously not fit and, ideally, he should only play for 70 minutes maximum.
He’s made of glass, that’s why we were able to get him. Just remember, that glass is the finest crystal. Look after it and enjoy it.

He is not going anywhere

He and Carlo have to see this thing through

But improvements need to be made. The squad is just not deep enough to seriously contend.

But we will be fine. We are headed in the right direction

If, for whatever reason, he decides he wants to move on, it'll be a travesty that one off the top players in world football will never have been seen by a Goodison crowd. Even a couple thousand. Shame he was injured for those weeks supporters were allowed to go in to the stadium.

Really hope he stays

Vamos papasito danos un golazos!

 

[DOMNOLAN]

We're so lucky to have him

 

[sageyefc]

his teammates should count themselves extremely fortunate to be playing alongside him

 

[Quadvod]

Class act - if only we had a few more on his wavelength

If we did we'd be Champions League contenders mate, he's a truly special footballer.

 

[wainy]

If we had a bit more class in the forward department around him... he’d do unbelievable damage in this league. Effortless

 

[Amokachi1995]

Second striker is his position in my opinion. With licence to go wherever he wants.

 

[Encoder]

Seen people saying he's been useless in the match thread before the penalty. They're utterly clueless.

 

[paulbefc]

This is why teams kick him.

Burnley would have stamped on his achilles 5 times by this point.

Ripping the piss out of these. I think this is the best 45 I've seen from him yet.

 

[Charles Plastusz]

He’s levels above anything on the pitch
