2020/21 James Rodriguez

That's why I hope we don't sell Mina. James doesn't speak English and he probably won't settle that well. It is good for him to have a buddy from back home. He will probably gel well with the Brazilians too.

I can't see us selling mina for another 2 seasons anyway

Yeah I’m a big fan of Yerry myself. Any lad that considers Coleman their brother is a man after my heart.

There is an onus on the other players to perform in order to get James the room he needs though. If teams start doubling up on him and the others don´t step up we could become stuck for ideas.

I’m not going to question Ancelotti’s handling of him at all as he’s on fire but I’d love to see him completely devoid of any sort of defensive responsibility and starting off from the number 10 position. Who knows though maybe he’d get crowded out and there’d be less space and he’d actually see less of the ball. Maybe Gomes is actually tying up opposition players on that left hand side with Digne and Richarlison so that when the hall is switched Rodriguez is coming onto it in lots of space.

It’s interesting at the beginning of the game they were doubling up on him and nullifying his influence. As the first half wore on he begin to drift into the 10 position whereby he scored that second goal. In the second half he seemed to be played more in the 10 role and was saw how much more effective he was there. Teams can’t double up on him if he has the freedom to roam in that 10 role.

He did well to get into the game yesterday because he was clearly being targeted by West Brom. I just think other players like Gomes should see it as an excellent opportunity to push on this season and take advantage of how much more space they'll have.

When you've got a player with the talent of James, it's easy to become one reliant on that one star. I don't think Ancelotti will allow that to happen though.

Watching the Chelsea vs rs game in Colombia, they're talking about Everton players in the commentary. Hahah the James effect

 

[The T-Dex]

I'd tongue his bum hole so much.

and Mina looks just a bit bonkers, its good to have characters like that in a team

It would be interesting to see him as a 10 but to be honest I really like the balance of the midfield right now.
In addition James has freedom to drift into the centre , into if you like a 10 position, and the fact that he doesnt start there makes it much harder to pick him up.

Isn't it just fantastic that James Rodriguez plays football for Everton.

 

[Mikey O]

Sublime start on the pitch

 

[Pantocoyb]

Hamez Rodríguez!
You are the love of my life,
Hamez Rodríguez,
I’ll let you sh*g my wife
Hamez Rodríguez,
I’ll drink Echo Falls too...

im questioning everything I thought to be true. The Visionary’s, Jace and the wheeled warriors, they actually happened didn’t they? I didn’t make them up to?

Jesus!! That was my favourite!!!

 

[Mashtray]

Even though we all saw him have an amazing debut at Spurs, I'm so happy he got a goal an assist at Goodison. Early on in his career with us.

That monkey off his back real early.

Only upwards from here

 

[Paul Rideout]

I thought it was Lazio..

But it was 'goal accio'. Goal action.

Not meaning to pee on your chips, but:

“The show became well known in popular culture for a shout of Golaço!, Portuguese for "fantastic goal", featured at the start and at the end of each show. The sound clip is of Italian television football commentator José Altafini, a Brazilian who played in Serie A for AC Milan, Napoli and Juventus.”
