Looking at how James started last season 3 goals and 3 assists from his first 5 matches, will be difficult to leave him out, but who do we drop from the Team that has started this season so well.

Don’t drop anybody.
Rodriguez shouldn’t be an automatic starter currently.
Maybe come in as a sub and see how he does.
Definitely wouldn’t be dropping any of our current attacking players to accommodate him at the moment.

If we had failed to score in our games or were lacking creativity then you’d possibly start him but were in a good position offensively and would be silly to upset that to accommodate him.

Agree mates the whole Team seem to have a renewed energy about them since Rafa appeared.

Agree as well Dan. James needs to earn his place in the team.

Personally I don't think James will fit Rafa's system. We have a lot of fast players who press high. One player doesn't press and it messes the whole thing up. I can't see James pressing.

We're assuming Rafa has changed his style and he is now a manager who presses?
We have had minimal possession in all the games we have played so we're not playing a pressing style or possession football we play on the counter that much is true.
Majority of our goals have been counter attacks.
Eventually we are going to have to break some teams down and James is pretty good at that. Against the better teams his passing is 2nd to none in our team so we will need him at some point.

Blimey Chris that’s new we have a lot of fast players, long time since we said that about our Team mate, long may it continue eh.
