2020/21 James Rodriguez

What a blammo. Never noticed before, but the moment the ball is headed to him he takes a look over his shoulder at the goal. He's always two steps ahead.

Imagine he did this last minute of a derby.....

Any time during the 90 will be fine with me!

To get the 8th and show we're better than Villa?

Straight off the plane into a 12.30 ko in the derby.
Could have done with this being on sunday. Not an early ko on saturday.

Usually they do that because of the fans but this season I don’t see the point.

Think they are all staggered kick off times for tv.
Only just realised they get back when? Late thursday/fri morning. To a 12.30 ko sat.
Cheers premier league

The match kicks off Tuesday night there. Flight home Wednesday morning (4pm UK) gets him into the UK at say 8am Thursday UK time.

It’s not too bad, and is something he’ll be well used to having played in Europe for years and always playing for the national side.

Possibly not as bad as i thought then.
But a lot of spanish games are evening kick offs.
12.30 not done us any favours

 

[ToffeeTim]

The kick off time is far from ideal but we then have an 8 day rest. Hopefully he can get through the match then put the feet up for 3 or 4 days.

 

[BlueToff]

Wouldn't be surprised if he's on a flight back inside two hours after the Columbia game finishes, tbh

If they can get him back into the UK for late Wednesday evening/early Thursday morning, then that should hopefully give him and Mina enough recovery time.

Annoyed by this chap TBH. Keep waking up in the night in sweats thinking of him catching COVID on his travels and being out for the derby. How sad...

 

[Billy Dean]

Still hasn't sunk in that he plays for us

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Columbia should leave him on the bench for this one but I doubt they will.

I’m assuming he won’t need to quarantine due to covid and will be allowed to play? I ask because of Cavani for Utd isn’t allowed.

Elite sports folk, existing in a covid bubble, are exempt from quarantine. Cavani has been living at home for months.
