it is backwards.. how is rondon more fit than james , when james has been training since the preseason , only stoped while in isolation with other 4 players, WICH all are "match fit" but not james?
if you cant see a clearly differential treatment towards james , then you dont to see anithing at all...
the fit issue is being use as an excuse PERIOD. benitez should have the balls to say, "hey i dont like him , thats it, stop asking me for him" , plain as that. but that clearly is unprofessional so he wont ever do it. the ONLY coach with said balls ive seen is mourinho.. as a man i can respect a straight answer to my face .

Ah go on james so on holiday again. Burnley would only leave you in a stretcher.

The manager nailed his colours to the mast pretty early on this issue. My take is that, seeing the very limited options in our squad, the very minimum he requires at the moment is that each player fight from the 1st minute to the last, do not stop chasing, running and closing down. So far so good on that front. James, despite his many other incredible talents, cannot do this anymore. At the slightest niggle he is out for a few weeks, so the manager obviously sees him as a none entity at the moment. Perhaps he will get some minutes in the cup where games are less likely to be very tight, especially against some of the lower league teams. I may be temped to at least have him on the bench but I can definitely see the manager's point of view on this

Rondon not played since May, only started training last week. James played in the United friendly 4 weeks ago

match fitmess is not defined by what he may or may not do in training nor by your assertation that because four other players are deemed to be match fit that consequently he must be also. I prefer the judgement of people who are actually involved on a day to day basis with the player
Ok but, you need to break Burnley down with 20 mins to go.
Who do you bring on, Gordon or Rodriguez?
It’s an absolute shambles.

Seems like it personal with Benitez.. Surely he could have been an option off the bench..
Sulking because Rafael wanted him to get in the box more
Maybe, but he’s never playing for us ever again. Nor does he want to.
so you prefer the judgement of a single person while ignoring the circunstances of similar cases ?
it is not LOGICAL, what you are saying is , "james or x will be match fit WHEN BENITEZ SAYS SO".. thats your argument and it is a very very flawed one, match fitness is not an opinion.
lets asume you are a player and a coach insist that you are not rdy, you train hard and get to prime ussain bolt and prime pacquiao level of fitness , then this coach says again.. you are not rdy.... how do you prove him wrong?

Looks like the waster Rodriguez is absent. Is he "injured" or sulking?
