Player Topic: Jesus Navas (2015/16)

[PaulMoulden'sRecord]

He had a stinker yesterday but he never hides and always shows.

If Silva had played it would have created far more space down the right though, to counterbalance that, it would have created more space for Jesus to run into and hit the first man.

If Silva had played, Navas would have been in his rightful position......warming the bench.

Care to elaborate? Name a worst player who played 90 minutes.

Kolerov was shite. He gave the ball away that led to the first goal, and he just seems back in his groove of shitness.

Navas though was terrible, fast and shit, sums that lad up.

He must have some black on the manager as he never gets the hook, for me we lost our shape once Sterling was taken off, and Bony didn't contribute an awful lot either.

Bad day at the office, but Navas, the Romans would have found it a struggle to nail him to a cross!!!!

Aguero

Agreed but I think sterling was our worst player on the pitch yesterday. Anyhow, disappointing all round really. KDB really impressed mind you

Have to disagree there, thought our worse player was between Navas, Kolarov and Aguero!

Aguero

3 things:

• Aguero was getting into positions to miss chances, Navas hit 2 City players from 18 crosses so gave the opposition the ball 16 times to start counter attacks
• Aguero took a knock the week before and doesn't look 100% fit
• Aguero hasn't been shit for over a season, so we can allow him a short period out of form

The problem is, for all the good he does in a game (of which there's plenty) the lasting impression is his final ball.
We don't always help him by not having the blue shirts in the box to aim for, but there are also plenty of occasions when he literally just gets his head down and whacks it at pace, more in hope than anything else.
It will always seem 10 times worse when we drop points. Had we (rightly) won yesterday I imagine he'd have been cut a lot more slack than he is at the moment.

If he were a great crosser and scorer of goals he would cost 40 million.

Not good enough to be a first team player but does his job. One aspect that goes unappreciated is that he keeps the ball really well.
Ideally should only be in games, where we need cover against teams with good left wingers or as an impact sub. But when both Nasri and silva were injured what can you do. You can't have ten world class players in midfield and expect half of them to be on the bench mostly.

His brain seems to frazzle when he gets into these good positions...On a few occasions yesterday he put high crosses to the back post where it was sterling 5'7 vs Jenkinson 6ft...Why would you do that?

Aguero

8 posts in 7yrs,hmmm

I thought he always hit the first man and never beats a man? How did he manage a few high crosses?

His final ball can be frustrating that is a fact so can sterlings in fairness and neither are very good finishers either, people seem to forget all the other reasons for them being on the pitch, work rate,tempo, ball retention, the ability to draw defenders to them etc....

People also seem to forget that all wide men when crossing the ball will find a defender more than their own men otherwise we would score ten goals every game, if we replace navas with someone with his positives but better delivery then I would be very happy, if we however put him on the bench and use say nasri then it would be a terrible mistake

We have seen what negatives having nasri,silva and toure can bring, we need navas and sterling for balance

Yesterday was going to be sterling,kdb and silva but silva got injured and sterling was poor, injuries will continue as will the need to rest those 3

Navas will play again plenty this season and until we sign someone better in his position I am very happy about it

Calling him shit and hoping he never plays again are posts from people who should think a little bit more before posting, it embarrasses you tbh
