Hopefully a big match Saturday
James is class and I’m chuffed we’ve got him.
Complaining about him not tracking back is like buying a Ferrari then moaning because it can’t tow a caravan.

I'd say the 3 best creators in the league so far are James, Grealish and De Bruyne. I guess Fernandes is probably close too but I don't watch United as much and Ziyech would be of healthy.
We are struggling because of the bad players not the good ones.
Waiting for someone to say “he’s no Denis Stracqualursi like”

I'm not really sure why people are questioning his attitude for no real reason.
He isn't the first nor the last player we will do it with tbf, but I just don't get it.

I agree, but with that said we need to figure out how to get his best out of him while solving the defensive liabilities he brings to the table.
In the beginning of the season, we were doing the former but not the latter. It was a league winning clip, but it also wasn't a sustainable scoring pace. Trying to deal with the latter with inferior personnel has, so far, seemed to preclude the former.
Carlo's approach has been to keep throwing things at the wall until something sticks, which is correct but it certainly has made for a frustrating watch. Hopefully, he has a better idea of the non-negotiables for when some wages free up.

In the beginning of the season we were still conceding too many goals because of players that aren't James. And to be completely honest we could turn James into the best defensive RW/#10 in the entire history of football and we'd still concede too many goals because the goals are going in as a result of players who aren't him.

Nothing he’s done (although his form has dipped), but we have without question signed players who look like they couldnt care less in the recent past.
Don’t disagree with anything you say. I think there was a plan involving Coleman and Doucouré with many of the early season goals conceded down to individual errors and long shots rather than exploiting James. However, we have lost our goals at a quicker rate than we have stopped others scoring.
As you point out Carlo does need to come up with a solution (for the team in general) which involves getting James in the right areas doing the things we want to see him do. Could be formation, tactics, personnel, new transfers or probably a combination of all these things.

His form hasn't really dipped unless all you're looking at is raw goals and assist numbers.
He's worth the admission fee alone.
There's about 5 players who you can genuinely say that about since the last time we won a trophy.

I have posted before that Everton needs to take advantage of James marketing value not only his football skills.
