2020/21 James Rodriguez

[TheBigIguana]

100% mate, they all need managing. DCL will, Richarlison will and Allan as well.

Allan will get suspended at some point so that's his rest.

James straight in on Wednesday obviously.

 

[UptheTofees]

They where on a run of unbeaten in 17 before tonight .

So a bit of credit where its due.

Absolutely. The team worked well and earned the win.

Just saying we can't be reactinists when we drop points to Burnley or when we beat Chelsea.

 

[Nymzee]

We limited them to long range efforts mainly. Yeah we rode our luck a little, but we were much more organised today. I thought we did well.

We did but it was 1-0 and a penalty. We created pretty much nothing. That’s not how you play over a 38 game season.

 

[blue to the bone]

Can see him eased back on the bench Wednesday and starting again next Saturday. Dont think he'll start both

Need him fully fit for united game .
Thats the one we really want

Its finding a balance, thats football. We had opportunities to be better on the break today though. We just lacked some quality. Clean sheets will have to become a more regular occurrence if we want to stay in touch with top 6.

You're right.
But i'd take it every week tho.

I don't think he'll be fit to start mate. I get the feeling he needs to work up a bit to get match sharp. I think he'll be on the bench

So would I but it wouldn’t happen.

He's only missed one game so he's still sharp and if he's fit he should be straight in. Leicester probably won't hit the post twice.

No

We're more balanced when we actually have two wide players out wide who track back and help the full back.

As I said all summer James in the centre with someone with the output/goal threat of Zaha out on the right and this team would be in the top 4 spots no doubt about it.

Go out in January and throw £50 million at Palace and get him in.

I was more thinking what Ancelotti said mate after his injury against the rs and it took him a while to get back to sharpness and it was only when we played Burnley he was training at full tilt.

I just think it may be a game too soon.

When he does, hopefully Gbamin can come straight in. Really looking forward to seeing more of him. We have a good squad when everyone is fit. Still need the obvious right back and forward at a minimum though.

Not disagreeing with you mate. The question was "are we better without Rodriguez".

The answer today, tomorrow, next week, next year, in our lifetime as an Evertonian, the answer is no.

Would absolutely love zaha. Can play anywhere across the front 3, dont care what anyone says I think hes a top player. Palace will surely need to move him on soon.

I see Leicester have got fed up with Demarai Gray. IF, big if, Carlo could get him motivated he’d be available for next to nothing in January.
