Player Topic: Jesus Navas (2015/16)

I thought he was ok first half today but absolutely dreadful second half.

I really expected Pellers to bring on Roberts for him, I should have known better.

Really feel sad for this guy. Really hope Roberts plays against Sunderland.

i dont like knocking city players, especially ones the try their best and put a real shift in but i`m afraid Navas is very poor.

Unfortunately he provided his detractors with all the ammunition they could wish for yesterday - his final ball,which is his primary responsibility,was shocking and,ultimately,was a huge reason we haven't secured at least another point......while his overall game wasn't anywhere near as poor as some claim,which has also been the case previously,he has to find the solution to his problem as his workrate and pace are simply not enough to warrant his inclusion.
It must be a confidence/mental issue now as even the law of averages suggest a couple of his numerous opportunities to find a teammate should have transpired.

Its a real shame as he's approaching 30 now and I feel he'll never quite be the player his talent and desire should have guaranteed.

He must try to shoot more often, he had only one shot yesterday.

I'm like most in that I appreciate his work rate and admire the 95% of things he does well but the 5%, that final ball or shot is sadly missing time and time again and it frustrates the fuck out of me.

He would probably deliver better crosses with his eyes closed. Cant control his stress and anxiety around the box, especially when we're behind on the scoreline.

I've heard he suffers from anxiety, which is a real shame, but one might believe that it's one of those situations - longer it goes on, the worse it gets. Fresh start elsewhere might help him.

He never shy's away and wanting the ball but end product is shameful! We are missing Zabs attacking attributes sagna been great but attacking wise its none existent

too many touches sometimes and poor quality crossing. Look at one example yesterday when De bruyne ended up on the right and the cross he whipped in was what navas should be doing. Too many times he fails to produce in excellent situations and this was picked up on MOTD last night and he cant have any complaints.
