That Everton is better when James Rodríguez is not there, that he slows the game, that he does not support the brand ... all part of the perception of each other. The numbers, in the end, reveal the truth.

In which team would James Rodríguez retire? Stick to Real Madrid
The Liverpool Echo newspaper, which covers the daily life of the 'Toffees', undertook the task of evaluating the impact of the Colombian and the conclusion leaves very little doubt.

"With James Rodríguez on the court, adding all the competitions, Everton has scored 32 goals this season, of those annotations the Colombian has been present in 17, according to the analysis of the press is almost 53 percent. His participation is divided into five goals, seven assists and five pre-assists, "the media reported.

Numbers that support another perception: he is the most effective on the payroll to filter passes, an ideal partner for Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin, a key man for the projection of Digne (one of the best assistants in the Premier League) and Coleman or whoever whether it goes for the right tip.

The Echo understands that prior to his landing there were doubts as to whether he was a player who only lived off the memory of his great 2014 Brazil World Cup and whether he was too injury-prone, but that these numbers clear up all questions.
 
"It is true that the former Real Madrid player has spent some time in the infirmary since he arrived in Merseyside, in particular he missed five games in December, but on both sides there was only one visit to Newcastle and the box office success of the FA Cup against the 'Spurs', when Rodríguez was forced not to be, "adds the source.

The conclusion is clear: "Everton is nine goals better this season than in the same stage of the previous one, and also has ten more points on the board. Obviously, this is due to something more than Rodriguez, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Lucas Digne and Richarlison, among others, contributing significantly to the attack. However, there is no doubt that Rodriguez's presentation along with this pool of existing talents has had a transformative impact on the team's attack. "

He changed Everton for the better, no doubt about that. And it's not just because of James but well that he deserves a spot. However, there are those who believe that he is an expendable player ... it would be worth asking Ancelotti.
James Rodríguez has been a protagonist on social networks this week, and not because of his talent shown by him at Everton, or because of comments about his role in the Premier League. The Colombian soccer player made a strong foray into the Twitch platform and made two live broadcasts that gave a lot to talk about.
