2020/21 James Rodriguez

[AmericasToffee]

Carlo knows how to manage James. Trust. If this could save James a 5 match injury in the future, who cares?

Had less chance of winning the ball than Pickford the absolute rat

LOL... lol

I could be wrong but this looks to have been a stage-managed press conference, controlled completely by the club. Only one person asking the questions (club employee?), no difficult follow up questions about James´s injury, a friendly question about Pickford etc. Clever stuff...

 

[Toffeeslam]

I bet those cretinous mutants on RAWK are celebrating this news

 

[abrigael]

VVD..moment when he injures james..

 

[Death]

He will make a shock return to bench. I betcha anything

 

[ChesterBlue]

I’m going to guess we’ll go Iwobi on the right and Gordon on the left then

It was a fantastic and professional piece of taking complete control of the narrative from Everton and Carlo. They waited till the bedwetters had calmed down and then wham bam thank you mam.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if James ends up being in the squad on Sunday with Carlo saying that he worked really hard and was passed fit just in the nick of time.

I have all the respect in the world for Ancelotti saying it was "a mistimed tickle with Virgin Van Dijk"

I wouldn't be surprised if he's passed fit and starts. Carlo was very careful to mention that it was VVDs foul that injured him. It makes you wonder...

Agree, I think we are all hoping that it's a bit of a media ploy with James, he managed to carry on another 90 min after his injury, so hoping with a week's rest he can play.
Shows how much we rely on the guy

I assume Sky Sports are now showing the snide tackle from Virgil every half hour on the news ?

Actually they have just showed it. They did make a point of saying he completed the 90 mins though

We would be fine if Richarlison was available.

Its having both out thats a killer - like the RS without both Mane & Salah.
