2020/21 James Rodriguez

[roy vernon]

You know, I don’t know what some of you would have made of Alex Young, if you had seen him. He was a player who was often anonymous during games only to spring into action with one bit of sublime skill which could win the match and, by the way, it was often a piece of skill that nobody else on the pitch was capable of. James is a similar kind of player, don’t expect him to run the channels or run around like a headless chicken, we’ve got enough players to do that.

Take a step back, watch his constant little feints to create space for himself and look at the number of times spaces are left for other players, because the opposition defence are tasking 2 players to try and nullify James.

We are lucky to have such a brilliant player at the club. Enjoy his brilliance, don’t expect him to be a 90 minute dynamo.

I think he’s different class, his vision and technique is just a joy to watch. Admittedly he didn’t have a great game yesterday, that goal tho, great first touch and then bang.

I've just spoken to The Bangles and they've agreed to change their song titles from

An eternal flame - An eternal James
Walk like an Egyptian - Score like a Rodriguez

Very kind of them, great ladies, great songs.

Can you please tell Susanna Hoffs that she looks better than most 30 year olds at the age of 62.

thanks

All of this. He’s basically the player that people claim Gylfi Sigurdsson is, or the player that he thinks he is. A luxury player with the capability to win a game with a single moment of magic.

One person that deserves a mention in the James Rodriguez thread.

Stunning. Just like our James

 

[Sassy Colombian]

That is boss Sassy lol

What's he singing there???

lol superb

El gol del Everton de James Rodri

El gol del Everton de James Rodri

Chu, chu, chu, churu lo hizo James

Which pretty much translates the goal of Everton by James Rodri was made by James lol

Simple lyrics nothing like yours tbf. I was just teasing. He is good a calling goals but you are the best at coming up with James lyrics! Don't let this Sassy or anyone tell you otherwise

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Hope we dont risk him against Spurs with 3 big league games coming up thick and fast.

Give him the 8 days rest until the Fulham game.

Excellent post. Couldn't be more right.

That's boss and I'm gonna be singing that now all day lol

There’s not another player in the team that would have scored that goal. They normally end up in Row Z

I'd rather have him available to get through Fulham and take three points.

Easier to get three points against Fulham than it is City or Liverpool. And I imagine we'll set up against City in a rather defensive manner.

Id have James on the bench for both Spurs and Fulham.

Bring him on if needed, otherwise fully fresh and fit for City and Liverpool. One or two moments of magic from him in each of those games could get us a result.

Is the victims fell over the park still better? They are delusional at the best of times

We signed James for us to be able to break down teams like Fulham.

Is he more likely to see more of the ball in the final third against Fulham than he is Liverpool? Well, yes, he is.

We don't need to be planning on resting him for two games straight.
