2020/21 James Rodriguez

[Jadubsee]

If Benitez can't see a way to utilise James flippin' Rodriguez in a first XI drawn from a squad packed with as many wasters as ours, it reflects rather poorly on him as a manager, IMO.

It does look like he is not keen on leaving

just wants to play

I think we are the ones complicating the situation

Who is the 'we' though. The club have said nothing, the players have said nothing. Its all paper talk and there is a much bigger story if he leaves than there is if he stays.

He's a quality footballer, hopefully he will get to play in some form at home the first game of the season

It will show where he is on a scale of Pep to Pulis

Doucoure being moved into the '10' might be the plan https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2212661/doucoures-new-midfield-role

Go ed Jim, give us another season. We'll all love you, well maybe not the Park End but never mind them.

That should work well, his second touch is usually chasing his first

People were apoplectic about niasse getting bombed out and apparently treated badly but seemingly dropping this bloke from the squad is all good . I know I’m repeating myself but I simply can’t understand it .

Am I the only one who is confused by what he’s saying?

I think he's saying he won't be playing Fortnite because he has a game on Saturday, or something.

God bless.

What a way to try and get the fans on side Rafael, alienate your best player and the ONLY creative player in the squad.

What a manager
