2020/21 James Rodriguez

[Soccer4good]

Is there anything in the Madrid media suggesting they’ve made a mistake yet or does Zidane have them on strings?

Majority of fans are already pulling their hair and asking for Zidane's head lol...

PIenaar had some pretty decent statistical years if you mean just goals and assists. I mean he isn't James but he's probably the best between James and Kanchelskis.

Have to say mate, based on absolutely no data and too lazy to look it up, and despite my appreciation for Pienaar I’m prepared to fight you in defense of Leighton’s rankings in this

Completes 1 sprint during the game = two goals and an assist.

Something about that stat just gives me such a good feeling.

 

[Soccer4good]

Goals yes but it’s worth noting that his assists stat doesn’t really do him justice .. DCL misses a 3 yard free header , richy same at spurs , dom again last week but not a header , he also often provides the quality for the assister like his chip for richy to give dom a tap in , his ball to Coleman to set up dom at palace , his ball to digne to win the pen .. he’s simply amazing

If his teammates didn't miss his chances, he would get 50+ assists per year easily. He's an assist making machine.

I meant midfielder creative types.

I just want to add that for the 1st goal, he's right on the right touchline, pings a beast of a ball to Digne who squares it to Gylfi to shoot. It rebounds and suddenly it falls to Digne who now has James in space who tries to cross it and wins the corner.... Plays a short one to Gylfi cos Lamptey is still waiting for Rodriguez to sign his autograph book but he plays a quick one to Gylfi and BOOM we are 1-0 up.

That passage of play is all done in 15 seconds.

He's one of the smartest footballers I've ever seen. He sees football like no other.

unreal player

Hope he stays for ever

 

[riddick]

I wonder if we get the full 3 years+ out of him if he is one of those players who admit they should have come here sooner.

 

[ilikecheese]

With the aide of a step stool he could have placed the ball on Mina's head and it still wouldn't have been as accurate as that free kick.

He's been simply unbelievable so far...and he looks like he's just loving it.

 

[Daytripper]

His natural instinct and awareness of those around him, you can’t teach that. Never looks flustered or out of ideas, put al that together with his technical ability, he’s just great to watch these past few games.

If his teammates didn't miss his chances, he would get 50+ assists per year easily. He's an assist making machine.

If we ever get back to the ground his song has to be:

‘he sprints when he wants, he sprints when he waaaants, James Rodríguez, he sprints when he wants’

I mean it’s obvious that no striker scores every chance but assists don’t tell the whole story . He could be on zero or twenty assists for playing and creating exactky the same amount of chances . If he had shearer or Brett angel as his striker his stats would very massively although his play is exactky the same .

 

[Tel001]

If we ever get back to the ground his song has to be:

‘he sprints when he wants, he sprints when he waaaants, James Rodríguez, he sprints when he wants’

It’s funny that he’s so good at football that he can be one of the best players in the premiere league and literally not even run

Unfortunately they are both WC qualifier matches and James is a critical player for Colombia to qualify so he will be definitely playing both games.

Moreover, he hasn't played for Colombia's National Team in over a year so I have no doubt the he is also eager to participate in both matches.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

He's like a Columbian McGeady

Colombian : )
