2020/21 James Rodriguez

[BlueToff]

Nobody is actually ever gonna see him play for us.

everton that

Lets build the club around James.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Needs moving on. Can't build a team around a 30 year old that plays about half the games. It was a nice dream about signing a world class player on the cheap and getting lucky but it didn't work out. Clear the wages out and start building for the future.

 

[Tubey]

Oh dear. That's going to turn a lot of fans off the idea of keeping him...

This isn't an injury, no chance. It's what we suspected over the winter months - he seemingly just decides when he does and doesn't want to play.

Jesus Christ.

Everton 5-2 West Brom
1x goal, 1x assist, 1x key pass that lead to a goal (DCL's 2nd), got a man sent off.
Involved in the 3 goals that were the difference and got a man sent off. Won us the game.

Crystal Palace 1-2 Everton
1x key pass for the 1st goal (through ball to Coleman who assist DCL). Played the pass which earned us the penalty. The difference.

Everton 4-1 West Ham (Caraboa Cup)
1x disallowed assist (Richarlison offside) & 1x key pass which lead to the 4th goal. Played his part.

Everton 4-2 Brighton
1x key pass (short corner to Gylfi who assisted DCL) for 1st goal, 1x assist (Mina), 2x goals.
Involved in all 4 goals. Unplayable.

Everton 2-2 Liverpool
1x assist (Keane), 1x key pass that lead to a goal (down the line to Digne who assisted DCL).
Helped us earn a point when pretty much crocked from the 1st minute.

Fulham 2-3 Everton
2x key passes (to Digne who assisted DCL & Doucoure) for our 2nd & 3rd goals.
Won us the game.

Everton 0-1 Leeds
1x key pass for Doucoure's close range chance, 1x disallowed goal from a ridiculous angle, 1x disallowed assist (Richarlison header from corner, Godfrey offside)
Unlucky. On another night, the reason we win 3-1.

Everton 2-1 Rotherham (FA Cup)
1x assist for Doucoure's winner.

Wolves 1-2 Everton
1x key pass (to Digne who assisted Iwobi) for 1st goal, & his corner found it's way to Gomes who assisted Keane for the winner. Played a big part in getting 3 points.

Everton 3-1 Sheffield Wednesday (FA Cup)
2x assists (corners for Richarlison & Mina headers). Won us the game.

Everton 1-1 Leicester
1x goal, earned us a point - should have been a win but we played the rest of the game on the edge of our own area & Pickford spilled Tieleman's shot.

Man Utd 3-3 Everton
1x goal (2-2 equaliser). Helped earn a point.

Liverpool 0-2 Everton
1x assist. Contributed to first win at Anfield since 1999

Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace
1x goal which earned a point in a game in which we wasted so many chances.



He definitely has contributed, even when not fully fit.

I agree he's contributed but we need to forget the idea that he's ever going to be fully fit. What we've seen this season is likely what we'll always get.

 

[longers]

Clearly the most talented player in the squad by far but at the same time when he plays he doesn't really improve our results that much. Everton that.

 

[ah11984]

I have no idea what we do with him... Pretty stupid to get rid of your most creative and talented player(by far). But him deciding when he can and can’t be arsed really isn’t acceptable.

This isn't an injury, no chance. It's what we suspected over the winter months - he seemingly just decides when he does and doesn't want to play.

Or he has an ongoing calf problem and can’t play twice in four days.

Annoyingly injured again

Will the fans ever see him in person

He’s on a two year deal. You enjoy him while you have him and when he’s playing but you absolutely do not give him another deal

Yup, move the lad on. I admire his talent but unfortunately it’s not worth it to keep him.

Don’t think he was fully fit for the Sheffield game tbh.

Aww bless him

let’s give him a pay rise and build a statue of him.
