Me too, he's been very good in the opening two games.

Me also. His energy and pace is incredible.

He is equally able to completely frustrate and impress but he gives balance to the side.

I like the lad.

Great game again for Jesus.

We're getting better movement in the box for his pullbacks, Yaya has started getting to the edge of the box again like the year before last. It makes such a difference. In 13/14 we scored so many goals from balls played across by our fullbacks and wide players, last year it just didn't happen as we weren't getting numbers in there. This year it's looking good on that front and that should be huge for us

Would start him over nasri everyday of the week, better balance to the team and good cover for the fullback

Now that Sterling is here using his pace I think Navas has been inspired to use his pace as well. Two speedy players will always draw defenders all over the place and open gaps for the likes of Silva to exploit.

Thought he had a brilliant game today - probably one of his best games in a long while.
As mentioned - pull backs were excellent.

So you didnt see how many crosses he got into the box today?

I just know that we looked much more exposed down the right flank when Navas came off and Nasri came on. If/when De Bruyne comes then Navas will be a good squad player. Until then, he should start over Nasri.
