We always play better when he's on the pitch, even when it doesn't directly involve him. He improves our shape, forces the other team to defend wider and opens up the middle for the real geniuses to enjoy themselves. Lovely cross for De Bruyne as well
 
Said it all season. Team shape is as important as individuals and Navas compliments us offensively and defensively.
Yes sometimes his final product is frustrating, but how many times does he get in to a position where a 'final product' is required? More than anyone else in my opinion.
Yes, his crosses are often cut out, as they will be when his odds are 2 in 8 if everyone stands still. Wednesday night and tonight he created as many chances as anyone, he creates 4-6 good chances every game.
His aggressive and more importantly intelligent running mean he's a constant threat.


He was a trusted and well utilised player in arguably the best national team of the past 40 years, he has a decent assists record certainly comparable to the beloved fan boy Milner and yet many constantly slate. People will bemoan Pellegrini for trusting him, but do they bemoan Sergio and Silva, as watching us play it's pretty clear they trust him as do Ya Ya & Fernandinho.

He gets so many chances to deliver his 'poor end product' because he makes the runs that World class players respect, expect and utilise. The players trust him and he understands them. Sterling as of yet doesn't. I expect he will.

Yes, he should score more, but an adjudged poor end product is not as worrying as no end product due to no opportunity for an end product.

Very very underrated player. Our manager trusts him, our star players trust him, he played nearly every minute of our recorded breaking winning streak yet the arm chair managers couldn't wait to get him out of the team.
 
Sterling and Navas both put the afterburners on today, and neither fullback was as comfortable again after having been exposed to it. We need both of them to be doing that on a weekly basis, as it clearly terrifies the opposition and renders them a mess as the game plays out.
 
Very useful to have him here. He is the classic type of winger which hugs the touchline a lot. He stretches opponent defense very well.
