Player Topic: Navas.....

[juhanni]

I think that giving him a direct order, take Ronaldo ore messi out of this game ,ore pressing
in a special way nobody can do it like him, but not a starter to me......

I feel for him at times, he looks up and nobody takes a good position in the box. The lack of players committing themselves is a joke.

I love his industry and desire and the fact he never hides but his final ball/delivery/ability to beat a man/score himself is just not good enough 99% of the time.

Completely agree about having no one in the box but he could have several targets and more often than not would find the defender or turn back on himself and knock it back inside to whoever.

He is not alone as winger or full back in the same position does the exact same thing right now.

As I said yesterday, 2 more blocked crosses and he'd have broken his personal best for this (still a world record). Out of order MP for taking him off

That's a fair point, the problem for me is we don't play our percentages in the box the way United and Bayern do, they commit so many players in the box which causes problems, whereas with us everyone is waiting on the edge.

Like shooting, if you dont buy a ticket and get the ball in, you dont win the lottery so to speak.

Yet again yesterday we had a midfield that provided no link whatsoever between them and attack.

Defensively it was fine as there was zero threat from Norwich but going forward it was a car crash of a performance with players ducking any personal responsibility to make something happen as far as im concerned.

Pellers got it wrong in that Bony shouldn't have played and we could have gone 3 at the back, dominated midfield even more and committed players forward to help but still, we had so much possession in their final third and we did absolutely nothing with it.

He'll be gone in the summer. We need to start competing with Mardid/barca/Bayern and he wouldnt get anywhere near their first teams.

Bale/Ronaldo
Robben/Ribery/Costa
Neymar/Messi/Suarez (whichever one starts on the right)

Playing on the right wing or the right of midfield for an elite club should mean you're scoring at least 10 goals a season and assisting 15. He just isn't productive enough. I hear the Navas fans argue that he works hard and tracks back. Darius Vassell used to bloody do that. We need so much more from our wide players.

We do, you are right and on that basis alone, he needs to move on. Problem is he about number 7/8 on the list of players that need to be moved on so he may survive the cull.

 

[Blue Hefner]

Similar to Kolarov - he is what he is, a bang average £15million player. No point getting worked up about it, he's not a good player underperforming, he's not a good player!

That said, he's pretty good a tracking back

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Ilike Navas, works hard, doesn't lose the ball nearly as much as sterling, tracks back when he sees danger, I do think pep will keep him
