Agbonlahor: James gone missing from Everton because it's cold!

Former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor doesn't rate Everton ace James Rodriguez.

Agbonlahor believes Rodriguez would be out of the starting XI if Toffees boss Carlo Ancelotti had a deeper squad at his disposal.

He told talkSPORT: “I feel with James, it's got cold hasn't it.

“He's got cold and he's probably thinking, 'I didn't realise it was this cold in England'.

“He's not getting his time on the ball he was getting in the first few games. I think he's been getting a bit found out, to be honest.

“He's not really offering the team as much as he should be, and if Everton had a few more quality players on the bench I'm sure James wouldn't be starting as he hasn't really done much in the last three or four games.

“[Dominic] Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison need a bit more help from someone else."
