2020/21 James Rodriguez

[Disgruntledgoat]

I love Keyes' blog. Marina Hyde had a great line about him "Has Richard ever written anything, about anything, that does not truly crystallise his entire essence as a man?"

If you read his blog regularly, he always manages to bring whatever topic he's writing about back around to his axing from Sky, where he invariably implies the existence of some shadowy conspiracy and the gleen of knives in the dark. Utter lunatic/bell of man

Needless to say, he had the last laugh.

Is he two footed? If yes he should play in the middle.

Best ring up Ancelotti and tell him mate

 

[Deco]

What can you even say?

He’s everything we expected and more there today. What a player.

Pinging the ball around and causing trouble all game.

If he stays fit for a good amount of the season we’re in for a great one.

Imperious.

My first post here! Colombian, fan of James & Mina, so now blue lol

Pretty good game today. Really glad to see everyone here so ecstatic! RM was a nightmare, like it has been for so many galacticos! But not for lack of talent.

P.S. Wait till Ancelotti gives him #10 and he earns the captain armband. That's when you get James 2.0. Like when he plays for our NT. There was a James before and after the #10. Trust me. It's in the South American genes, to wear that number. Then you get Beast Mode!

Welcome to the family!

They said it on motd, but the way he knows whats going to happen seconds before it does is just beautiful to watch. He never panics, even if there's a player closing him down he knows where he will go after for space to pick out a pass.
I'm no religious man but even I'll start praying to keep him injury-free. Love watching him.

He is oddly good looking

like. Scarily so.

 

[Bluestar]

Great player but missed two great chances today. If we apply the DCL goggles, he really needs to improve to become a top player.

Just kidding, he was superb today and I can’t wait to see the pundits back tracking. Tim Sherwood, eat s***

Tottenham 0-1 Everton: James Rodriguez shows Spurs what they are missing - Jermaine Jenas analysis

MOTD2 pundit Jermaine Jenas is impressed by Everton but left confused and disappointed by Tottenham's performance in their season opener.

www.bbc.co.uk

"Whenever the ball came up to him on the right, Rodriguez always had so much time. He never seemed rushed and it was like he was saying to Spurs left-back Ben Davies 'you stay there, I am controlling this ball and I'm going to do what I like with it'."

 

[Deco]

Deco-esque class.

 

[Kure]

He reminds me of Riquelme. Lacks a bit of pace but uses space and his body well. Vision is outstanding. If we can keep him fit then we’re capable of beating anyone.

 

[Kure]

Deco-esque class.

Sorry Deco but he’s better than you and your mate, Maniche

 

[ProZ]

I bet you Richarlison is livid this fella has replaced him as the Everton walk out graphic on Sky Sports

Was going to say in an earlier post that he reminds me a lot of van der vaart, but slightly quicker, But jermain jenas beat me to it on motd. Everything in his game screams 'how can I hurt the opposition?'.

Jenas, btw, is probably the best football pundit out there at the minute. Astute in most things he says, and he beats Neville cos he doesn't sport that droning, nasally, depressing Manc accent!

Absolute dream boat on and off the pitch. Still cant believe he is an Everton player. Keep him fit and we are laughing.
