2021/22 James Rodriguez

[Kev The Rat]

These would volley him up in the air after 2 minutes and he’d be counting down the seconds til he’s off the pitch. Not really a game for him I don’t think, not on last season’s evidence.

We need a player to break them down with quality not try and play them at their own game ffs.

It’s just not as simple as that. He would want no part of a fixture like this.

Oh my word!!! Screamer ??

Do we now?

Hahahah

You produce gold every single time.

Let James go on his exotic country world tour. We would have lost with him today.

Can you spot James ??

Proper weird one this now.

He could have absolutely done the job Gomes did when he came on, but the pressure on him if he plays now will be huge.

Keep on watching your Netflix box set you weapon.

He'd never go far back as Gomes is prepated to do.

I'm no fan of Gomes but him over James all day long.

He will be in and around the squad. Will be an excellent option off the bench as the season progresses.

Obsessed after a win

Can’t see him making the squad for us this season unless there’s injuries myself. Will be gone in Jan.

Tbf I'm not sure he could v Burnley. For all his faults, Gomes is more physical.

But if we were pinning them on the edge of their box for the last 15 (or trying to), then he'd have been dead handy.

I don't buy that he couldn't have been on the bench tonight, just in case. A far better option than Gordon and the match fitness excuse doesn't add up when Benitez put Rondon on, and he looked like me, just 6 hours out of the operating theatre still on a come down, running about.

DCL out for 2-3 weeks. James absolutely should be on the bench at Villa – a team that really could suit him a lot more.

We then have QPR away and Norwich at home. He should play a part in both matches.

Anyway, glad we won tonight. Hope James was in the ground or enjoyed it back in Formby.

I personally can't see Rafael including him at all. I can't think of a scenario where Rafael will consider him safe to play, perhaps if we are 4 nil up in a game
