Navas

[goalmole]

Some folks just don't watch the game. It is bleeding obvious to anyone who does that Navas was 100% going for goal. Firstly, there was nobody in the box close to being positioned for a cross. Secondly, as soon as he hit it, you can see him watching the trajectory to see if it hits the target. And thirdly, his reaction to the goal was spontaneous. Not a "wow, I wasn't aiming for that, but I'll take it". But a "yes, I did it!" look of triumph. And a rather neat vault of the corner flag too :)

A) There were players arriving at the back post.

B) He looks up to see where his misplaced cross to the back post has actually gone.

C) Yeah, he celebrates like his intended cross has just ended up in the top corner. Same as Ronaldinho did against England.

If that was an intended cross, then it must be the most wayward cross anybody's ever seen him make. That was a shot all day long.
Anyway, when is he going back home because of his homesickness and panic attacks.

Let me ask, since Navas has been at the club and any highlight video you've May have seen or if you've actually watched his games at Sevilla, when has Navas ever whipped in a cross off of a rebound? You can even see in his follow through that was a shot all day long. Nasri was a long ways away for Navas to even think about crossing that .

Players arrived at the back post as the ball was nesting nicely in the net - far too late to have met any half decent cross.

Changing a bit - it was a pity that Nasri's chip hit the top of the cross bar, now that would have been a goal to savour

As good as Navas was, it's not clear to me how many games he will get to start once Silva returns. We know Toure and Fernandinho will start for sure, so that means Navas can only really play in place of Nasri, which isn't going to happen on current form.

so is it safe to say navas has shed the tag of bluemoon scapegoat?

Feck it, lets go cavalry style and play 3 at then back and then:
Yaya Ferna
Navas Silva Nasri
Negredo Aguero
