Although not my favourite player,some of the criticism is ott.We have threads complaining that the players don't work hard enough,fair enough in some cases.
Navas can't be accused of being lazy,despite being shit at shooting he doesn't go hiding.
A lot of the checking back he does is due to the lack of players to cross to in the box.
He's not supposed to be "good enough", he's a £15m squad player and for that he represents excellent value for money.Hard work is useless if there is no end product. He has 3 assists this season and he's played in 21 of our games and he's not scored in 2 fucking years. I'd expect more from a fucking League 1 winger never mind a Premier League player earning silly money each week. He's not good enough and never has been. We need an upgrade in the summer and sell him back to Spain.

Sterling, a £49m acquisition, is supposed to be "good enough", but offers far less than Navas at the moment.
I think their stats side by side might beg to differ this season.He's not supposed to be "good enough", he's a £15m squad player and for that he represents excellent value for money.

Statistics can be used to prove pretty much any argument you like. If you think Sterling's playing better than Navas and offering more to the team at the moment then I'd suggest you've been on the pop all night.I think their stats side by side might beg to differ this season.
The only player who supporters use his full name - usually along the lines of "Jesus... Navas" after another chance goes begging.
I've backed him quite a lot this season, early doors showed promise but it's grim viewing watching a player so terrified to take a shot on in such an important game.
