2020/21 James Rodriguez

Shame he got hacked down by McArthur on the edge of the box. I was sure he was going to pass it in to the corner of the net.

Thought he found it more difficult with the pace of the game today and was knackered at the end. Still had a huge impact on the game despite Palace's hard work.

That bit of play when we'd been under the cosh and he was on the touchline surrounded. He just refused to panic, waited, held off, waited, held off, then just played a delightful chip into Allan and got us on our way. It almost deflated Palace that as we seemed to have then come through the most important stage of the game still intact.

Only the very best do that type of thing. That won't always work btw but it's an incredible mindset to have and a huge belief in his own ability.

Absolute grade A quality.

That was a superb bit of play. Similar sort of effect when he kept spinning to avoid McCarthy's pressure. He couldn't get near him and just gave up.

He does what he wants, wouldn't even bother questioning the gaffer

Yep he literally just thought "ah sod this I'll just go back in position as I ain't getting it" lol

That’s 2 games he’s played in cold, p1ssing down conditions & still put in a shift & showed class.

He may be a pretty boy, but he’s no fanny.

The one touch crossfield pass at pace @1 min

Little bit surprised that he was MoM, was quieter today and found it more difficult. Still had moments of sheer quality above anyone else on the pitch and nobody else plays that ball to Seamus for the first goal. Would have gone Alan or Keane for MoM personally but not going to argue.

Best player we have had since Kanchelskis. By an absolute massive margin.

That's whats so exciting about him. He can have difficult games, he really struggled in the second half, and yet there's still always the sense that if you get him the ball in the right area something will happen.

If in a bad game, he tears open the opposition defence half a dozen times, you can't really complain.

Just seen the return pass to Coleman leading up to our first.
Not bad for someone forecast to fail in our league.
Suck it up doubters!!!

 

[OGG]

The first time pass to Richy was the sort of pass that so few could see first time, never mind actually hit with the perfect pace and accuracy.

Sheer class.

 

[Hickson9]

World Class.

 

[Coggy]

He is simply brilliant isn't he. Can't bloody wait to see him live,

 

[Bullens Rd]

Another fabulous outing. Genuinely world class player at Everton FC 1878.
