5 players who don't deserve to be on the bench

#1 James Rodriguez

Rodriguez is on a two-year loan at Bayern but hasn't nailed down a starting spot yet

Some of the other names mentioned are only on the bench due to other big names being ahead of them. James Rodriguez, however, is not one of those, he most definitely deserves to be in the starting 11 at the moment.

After the 2014 World Cup, Rodriguez was snapped up by Real Madrid and anticipated to be a future Ballon d'Or winner. But he has really failed to live up to expectations. He is still a magnificent player, but his time at Madrid was certainly considered as unsuccessful.

In a new fresh start on loan at Bayern this season, Rodriguez should have been given a new lease of life and regular game time, but the Colombian has failed to see much football so far. Thomas Muller, Franck Ribery and Kingsley Coman have all been playing more frequently than Rodriguez, even despite their poor form.

Rodriguez is more gifted and suited to Bayern’s intricate play than those names, and should be a regular name on the team sheet to help Bayern turn their season around.
