If we assume the story coming out in which James appears to have told Benitez that he wasn’t fit enough to play has some truth in it, then it’s completely understandable that he wasn’t on the bench.
It’s pretty obvious that he has no heart and cannot be bothered to put himself on the line. Even his own national team aren’t bothering with him.
When God finishes saving you he needs to turn his attention to our club, because it’s being dragged down by successions of over paid pansies who can’t be bothered to wear the shirt or fight for it.
Colombia coach pre - called James for the next qualys in october, he was told to get as Many minutes as he can so he could be used vs Brazil/Uruguay/ecuador.
SO the teory about James.telling Benítez about a problem seems crap to me , Benítez contradicts himself , on wednesday : "he trains normally" , then on Matchday when ASk about absentees he said nothing about James ...
Finally after he Got wtfpwned by villa then he "miraculously" remebeed : "he had a concern about his msucle and WE decided he wasnt available".. he is straight up liying . Get into court with a story patern like that Will get You dismissed quickly about your sayings.
Some Ppl here chooses to deny the mountain of hints about the RB-james case. He (Benítez) should just speak it out loud , plain and straight : "stop asking for Him , as long as AM here he won't play" thats a Lot more valuable than making up excuses about fitness (wich we're proven total BS as we Saw with rondón levels of fitness and Simms with 1 week of training post injury) or phantom injuries.
