"I don't know what's going on behind the scenes at Everton but there is a concerted effort to make Rafa Benitez the bad guy when it comes to James Rodriguez. Everything so far is very one sided in the Colombian's favour and that makes me suspicious." - @Sean_Lunt

Honestly I refuse to believe Rafa is behind this, he doesn't want to get the fans on his back & this certainly would do it.

The Colombians are questioning his attitude, the fact that he asked not to play vs Peru when he was about to join the squad apparently was enough for the manager to exclude him entirely.
