2020/21 James Rodriguez

[Axlswhk]

Against spurs our forward did not anticipate through balls.

Today our forward were a lot more aware but still hesitant.

if we continue to gel, we will get through ball and goal galore.

Looks incredible, potentially the best we´ve had since Kanchelskis. My only worry is that you stop him, you stop the whole team. It´s the perfect chance for the likes of Gomes to step up because they´ll have so much space given most opposition will be preoccupied with stopping James.

Tbf he’s the least RS of all the ex RS

Still was one of them though and that can never be forgotten.

 

[coollino]

Slightly concerned he will be a few days older for the next game.

What a player, makes it look so effortless, think it's safe to say he can make an impact in the Premier league, we are going places.

Move him to the middle, exploit the space between midfield and defenders which is difficult to mark. Edge of the box is where he is most deadly.

Only 296 days until he is a past it 30 year old...

Carlo said to him "when I go home and pork my wife tonight, I'm going to think about you".

 

[Kev The Rat]

The man just oozes class. Can’t wait for him to roast the RS in a few weeks.

 

[Tommy Pistachio]

Quality.

 

[maccavennie]

Not much to say that hasn't already been said... But ffs that ball to Digne 2nd half (the one where Digne doesn't control it) was just absolutely ridiculous.

Goodison Park is made for players like him, he's just simply got a talent very very few players have. Never lolled flustered during the quit part of the 1st half then once he got on the ball he was magic.

I think Coleman actually enjoyed beong given the freedom of the right hand side without anyone in his way.

Do we still need to worry about resale value if he’s free?

Said this after the spurs game.

Our players don't realise yet what James is capable of. This will come with time and the players will then be making the runs.

But it's a team game. First we must win the battle to give James the time and space to impact the game. That's where the likes of Allan and Doucoure are so vital.

 

[Terrarian]

His passing is filthy, proper filthy. it's been a long time since we have had a player with vision and execution like him.
