2020/21 James Rodriguez

[Toffeelover]

Where does Davies go?

Dare I say a valued squad player?

 

[barneygumble]

Anyone still saying he’s unhappy, look at his reaction to the First goal, he’s absolutely buzzing and rightly so.

What a player, unbelievable pass.

 

[Toffeelover]

He already has the pass in mind before he gets the ball. That already sets him apart. He'll get it and give it off, but its so quick, that doesn't give time for the receiving player to think about his pass and what he wants to do with it. But if you played at Real Madrid, you'd be constantly training with that mentality of being one step ahead in drills and stuff and training with the world's best.

The second thing is that he has a 2nd and 3rd option in his mind as well. And that's while dodging 2 or 3 opposition players.

Some people might think that was an easy pass to make last night. If it was that easy, why don't we see it that often?

It is called reading a game, few players have that quality.

Scrolling back through the pages to catch up in this thread... there's an awful lot of talk about the weather. Fairly windy yesterday too.

Nope James has not passed the Stoke on Wednesday night test yet. Unproven in England.

It is called reading a game, few players have that quality.

I remember one moment yesterday where he was real quick to give it to Gomes and then Gomes ends up giving it away because he hadn't decided what to do. At madrid they would not be losing that.

He clearly isn't into it and can't stand the cold weather in England. English Everton players walking around bundled in coats after the game...meanwhile the kid from Tolima is doing this after the game...

A kid from sultry Tolima that can deal with the coldness and show his warmness through his hot passes lol

He is from Cucuta lol

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

He was loving it at the end.

do you reckon any of the young English lads ever stop for a second and think like “how the hell am I playing with/celebrating with James f’n Rodriguez?!”

 

[Ryu79]

He is from Cucuta lol

Let's settle on he was born in Cucuta but grew up in Tolima.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

He is from Cucuta lol

I have to disagree with you my Colombian friend. He was born in Cúcuta but immediately moved to Ibagué, was raised there, his career began in Tolima and many of his family, including his grandma are from Tolima and still live in Ibagué so he is a Tolimense not a Cucuteño

I was born in Bogotá but consider myself an Ibaguereña, it is not where you are born but where you are raised that forms a person

 

[brigadier]

That corner in the 1st minute was the highest quality, the pass for the first goal he made look so easy, looked like he thought why are you not doubling up on me have this you Fkn beauts.

 

[blulouie]

He takes about 6 red shirts out of the game with that 1 pass. Literally half the team

7

He was made in Cucuta. That supercedes everything lol.

He was made in Cucuta. That supercedes everything lol.

He was formed in Ibagué THAT supercedes everything

I bet you if someone ask James where he is from he would said Ibagué and not Cúcuta.
