Paycheck collector stealing his wages, again. 

 

Sell him ASAP. He's knackered.

Hate to say it but James is a liability, time to let him go.

Not watching is James injured again ?

I really don't understand Enzo playing so high up when the midfield is a disaster.....just like James injury list (hopefully not serious)....wouldn't be surprised if he's gone in the summer along with Forfana

Commentator said hearing it’s a hamstring issue. Hopefully he caught it before it became anything severe, but that doesn’t sound simple given his challenges with fitness. 

James off so really the only "old head" on there now is Gallagher. Too many youngsters for me. No good tried and tested experienced players. Not too fussed about this season now. Staying above Burnley Luton and Sheffield United should do

Yes. Walked off the pitch without issues so hopefully nothing too serious.

Time to cash in on James 

I know it’s harsh but it’s completely ridiculous 

I'm sure the reaction here will be hysterical, but James has been wandering around in a weird daze for at least the last ten minutes. Looks like he's about to barf or something.

Got my hopes up thinking Cucurella was going to be hooked...

Next season will be a worry tho

Not sure any club would take him on a free with his wages.

He's got a long term big money contract that would be a massive outlay for a player that simply can't stay fit.

That said we bought Fofana so someone might think they can get him on the pitch.

Against Brighton we scored two from corners, both looked like a training drill. Even before that game you could see we were more dangerous from set pieces. 

This insisting on short corners is beyond me...

Yes, but Lavia has looked sharp today. 

 

Oh, wait.

Always does, then he disappears for 2 months.

Why wasnt the challenge on Caicedo a booking? Var is useless sometimes. AI will probably do a better job than these corrupt referees.

Of course James is injured. His body is f**ked.

So frustrating and gutted for him he is world class and just can’t stay fit, built like a tank too I don’t understand it

Sadly I tend to agree...he's spent more time on the treatment table than on the pitch in the last 2 seasons...giving him the armband wasn't the best idea either.  I haven't seen anything on the pitch that would suggest he has leadership qualities; never see him barking at the players or calling them out during the game like JT did

VAR doesn't get involved if it should be a yellow card.

f**king shocking that we haven't just gone for the surgery with Reece, we keep trying to fix it with meditation and horse placenta and he's injured 3 weeks later.

This game has been sh*t.

Part of the problem imo. Should slim down to release pressure on his knees and hamstrings.

He can't, it's his natural build. His sister is the same.

What a snoozefest so far.

James started his professional career on August 4, 2018, and has spent a total of 472 days on the sidelines due to sixteen injuries and one case of illness. Overall, James has missed 90 games in all competitions.

Will be more now....

Everton score we lose I think.
