Re: Jesus Navas, good but.....
Put several crosses on a plate for Aguero last couple of games

He made four key passes and played in six accurate crosses, which is what he's in the side to do (and finished with an assist, although I'm not sure we can give him too much credit for Silva's goal...)
Don't get me wrong, I would certainly start Milner over him in most games, but I don't think he should be at the top of the list for criticism after that game.
6 accurate crosses?? did he?! im not questioning you if you were marking them down etc but im struggling to remember a couple nevermind 6! i thought he was too negative but credit to West Ham who actually tactically nullified him. Now, if Kolarov had started and Silva was in the middle, and Dzeko was off, then you not only can exploit the left instead but Navas has Silva to pass inside to which is where, if West Ham are doubling up on Navas, the Hammers should be short a man. I still think Navas was quite poor today but did to an extent get hung out to dry by the tactics a bit.
The trouble is every team seems capable of nullifying Navas. I think his type of game and level is Newcastle on Weds.

Re: Jesus Navas, good but.....
as I said before, a limited player with only one good foot. Only useful when he has space to run esp in counterattacks. But when there are players on him , he becomes almost redundant.
I can see why Spain only uses him as an impact sub most of the time.

Re: Jesus Navas, good but.....
Could argue that the restrictions were applied after we signed him.... And let Isco slip through our fingers.FromPollockToSilva said:SuperMario's Fireworks. said:Dont care what anyone says, we missed a trick not going for Di Maria or Sanchez, when players of that quality come on the market you have to go for them.
Navas is very good, but he shouldn't of started against this physical West Ham side.
Did you miss the FFP restrictions?

Definitely because he simply isn't good enough

Re: Jesus Navas, good but.....
honestly mate we could have had sanchez. AT 32 mill he cost same as mangala, we could have (and shouldve IMO - and I was very vocal about it at the forum ) got him before stumping the cash on Mangala and the subsequent sales of Garcia and Rodwell (along with fee's for Barry, Huws, Micah, Guidetti, Zuculini) and the potential sale of Negredo would have allowed us to get Mangala later

Ahh now there was a player who'd bust a gut for the shirt and not afraid to take a player on. Navas is way too timid to be a top class winger.

Only looks good against lacklustre defences, and for me he just doesn't take anyone on enough or at all. He sees the man in front of him, shits himself and turns around. He can put in a decent cross once he can get close to the byline, but that doesn't occur often enough to warrant a place in the starting 11. Seems as If his pace is wasted on him. Jimmy starting all day long for me.
