2020/21 James Rodriguez

[Nymzee]

Played 21, missed 12 so far.

Still scored 5, assisted 8 and laid it on a plate to win our first away derby in 22 years.

Worth every free transfer penny this lad.

We should be looking to offload in the summer.

Great player when available but we need our most important player to be fit for more than 40% of the season.

Why would we do that and not, just, y'know, buy some more good players so that all the burden isn't on him, but when he is fit, he has better players to play with?

 

[BlueToff]

Could do with him playing more games like, what’s up with him at the minute?

His calf.

They want him fully fit before they put him back in. So they basically gave him a month off.

He's back training with the team this week.

Not even sure how to respond to this.... Wow, just wow

We are a much better team with him in it.

100%

As @riddick has pointed out though, our entire attack can't revolve so much around him.

Other players need to step up but I also feel that the coaching hasn't really been there this season in that regard. Maybe, however, that's as much down to this strange season with less time to work on things and instil them into the squad.

Yeah lets get rid of our great players, that's the solution to our problems...
We need more of them, not less.
Jesus christ why do I come in this thread when our fans are so predictably negative about anything that is good.

I’m trying to think of a reasoned , profound reply to this . But all I can come up with is.... you’re a bloody idiot

40% ? Show your calculations...

 

[Carlito]

It's unfortunate that in the time he's been out, Champions League qualification and the FA Cup have both gone.

If he's training, I wonder if Ancelotti might regret not using him yesterday.

FA Cup exit is annoying, Champions League would be to early, it would be an experience but I think we could get embarrassed. Europa would be perfect to ease us back into Europe playing lesser teams, hopefully have a few more quality players on board and see if CL qualification is possible next season.

Win our game in hand and were 2pts off 4th.

James back for the last 10 games is perfect.

You’ve gone from Grade A to A* tit with that post

marvellous work from one of the top 3 worse posters

 

[Terrarian]

It's frustrating but we can't get rid crikey, we don't get players of that quality very often and people want rid, barmy.
