2020/21 James Rodriguez

[MikeH72]

Hang on when did he get injured in that game? Didn’t he play the 90 minutes and train the past 3 days?

I’m clinging to the hope that Carlo just wanted to raise the fact VVD was steaming round like a bell before he got caught himself and James will make a miracle recovery and still play Sunday.

My thought exactly. Not saying he’s definitely out but he wanted to use something to say that van dijk isn’t blameless either so put that in your headlines

I’d absolutely love it if Carlo has just put it out there that the VVD challenge has put him out when in fact he’s fine, takes all the media away from pickford and James starts on Sunday

It didn’t happen though did it? It was just big Virg showing Rodríguez “who was the daddy” to quote BBC.

I would start James from the bench. Even if not 100% his presence will be important.
Good PR from Everton in raising that big Dutch carthorses actions at the start of the match.

I think Carlo being the don he is and been around the block a few times knows how to win a PR war. This is just the return fire. JRodz is fine lads. Isnt he??!!?

Van Dijk should be banned for the amount of time James is injured for oh wait......

‘Horrible big grock VVD injures poor little Colombian prince who just likes to play nice passes and enjoys video games, Harry Potter and Pokemon in his spare time and is also a lovely family man and probably loveS puppies and kittens and is dead nice and always gets the first round in’

There we go, a much more balanced headline.

He is an expert manager, far more calculated than Klopp too. We will be getting the better of that shower soon enough, and will boot them to the moon if they start any bully tactics (as we shown magnificently on Saturday). The days of tummy tickling are gone.

Something does not add up. First two mins vvd nailed him in the nuts. I dint remember anything after and he played the full 90.

Mind games?

Also underlines why VVD getting clattered didn't raise much sympathy.
He started the game by setting out to injure our players, and in turn got injured.

Tough.

Yes I said at the time, it's karma.Try to injure opponents, ucceed, then get injured yourself, I mean it's live by the sword die by the sword really.

It’s not outrageous to think a big game player would play through the pain barrier, especially one who doesn’t rely on mobility to be effective but yeah hopefully just mind games

 

[mccole]

Carlo knows the score

 

[PITA]

I suspect that we won't be described as 'injury-hit' Everton for the next week.

Pretty much mate. That Dutch winger for them coming out with the ‘Everton played dirty’ BS knowing fully well ‘Big Virg’ went right through Rodríguez & DCL in the first couple of minutes. Which also has caused an injury to Rodríguez, but that was ok tho for high horse Tory FC.
