Player Topic: Navas.....

[yankcitizen76]

Can't score a goal to save his life but does everything but cross the ball well. You need guys like that on the squad to win.

Will be much more effective in a team that has players who are organised and motivated to make committed runs beyond the opposition and into the penalty area. When it happens (like yesterday) we (and players like Navas) are far more potent.

I don't need him to score, I just need better crosses from him.

Wingers that play consistently for elite clubs should be providing 10 goals and 10 assists minimum. Now I don't know his stats but I can't imagine he's even hit 5 goals or assists


Edit. Just checked his player profile he has made 45 appearances in all competitions this season providing 6 assists and zero goals. That is quite frankly terrible especially playing in such an attacking side. If we managed to get someone like Bale or Costa they'd add an extra 20 goals to the team

If your only yardstick by which you beat him is goals, then considering what else he brings to the table, i think you are being very narrow minded. The lad does an awful lot for the team. Thankfully, this thread is now becoming much more positive towards him because of that.

It's not his lack of goals that makes him a poor player it's his overall inability to contribute through finishing passing and crossing. I accept he works hard, damn hard but in my book effort without product is just not quite enough for me. I understand why others might rate him, but I don't!

And cost £80m in the process.

Navas is a steady Eddie but seems to add balance to the side. He has had a decent season for me although like others have said he will never be a top player because his final ball and scoring record is so poor.

He is on a nice little run of form though so I have no issues with him starting currently.

Who would people like him to cross too in the box ?
Most times the best he can get is a corner.wish he would just run the ball straight towards the goal and take on the keeper
What he needs is a goal hanger type of forward to pick out which we don't have

He's not a poor player by any stretch of the imagination.

His assists would be a lot better if players actually committed themselves to getting into the box rather than hovering outside of it.

For me, I'm delighted everytime he is named on the sheet because I believe we are much stronger with him than without him

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

So underrated. Bet our fullbacks love it when he's playing in front of them. Prob the best winger in the prem at defending.

He adds so much balance to our team when he plays. He can be frustrating but so can the rest. He has put in a few good crosses (also some bad) recently and there has been no one there to meet them.

If he had more end product he would be one of the best there is. Definite starter for me at the moment

Even if he hasn't been having a good game, he still puts in a shift and doesn't go into hiding.
