Striker Richarlison has said that the untimely exit of star forward James Rodriguez seriously disrupted Everton's season.
Colombian Rodriguez left Goodison Park in September, joining Qatari side Al-Rayyan for an undisclosed fee.
And Blues favourite Richarlison admitted that his departure, along with the exit of other key players, contributed to the unravelling of Everton's campaign, eventually leading to the sacking of manager Rafa Benitez.
