Think navas problem is he gets to the box too quick and finds he has no targets to aim for,if he does get one across who is in the box anyway ?
So probably settles for a corner while we wait for the rest to amble up
Totally agree instead of crossing he needs to be 100% more selfish and go one on one with the keeperNothing to stop him having a go at scoring
The point I was making was that Bony should have been further forward than Navas - he was selected as a striker not a midfield player.has nothing to do with his average position on the pitch...its what he does (or doesn't do to be more precise) when he is in those positions .......when there he delivers very little.....he won't take defenders on...usually opting to turn back inside and play the bak back either to the edge of the area (where the player receiving the ball is often confronted with at least 6-7 defenders infront of him
or
he hits his cross into the defenders legs
for the amount of possession he gets and opportunities he has he produces very few chances.......
And he`d be fucking useless at both,Bony.Need to get rid as he`s offering very little.Always been a fan of giving players the time to settle in,but this is now a ridiculous situation and I would be surprised if Pep kept him.Unless he can perform miracles. ;)The point I was making was that Bony should have been further forward than Navas - he was selected as a striker not a midfield player.
Agreed - he's been a huge disappointment and I don't expect to see him in one of our shirts next season.And he`d be fucking useless at both,Bony.Need to get rid as he`s offering very little.Always been a fan of giving players the time to settle in,but this is now a ridiculous situation and I would be surprised if Pep kept him.Unless he can perform miracles. ;)
the numbers will suggest otherwise but i'd have Navas over Sterling in my team anydayOutstanding again today, deffo one of the players of the season for me...
I thought they were lucky not concede a foul though, they clearly knocked him off balance till he fell over, there was no way they would beat him in a race so he was impeded there.Yeah he was really good today. Could have cost us badly though if Costa wasn't offside after 10(?) minutes.
Sterling offers just as much pace and while not as strong defensively, can actually put the ball in the back of the net and put in a decent cross. Also, more importantly he is at the very beginning of his career (21) and has a ton of potential to grow especially under Pep.Where Navas will probably start to lose his speed which is one of his few strengths as he has crossed the 30 year old line. Once Navas losses his speed he won't be able to offer much.the numbers will suggest otherwise but i'd have Navas over Sterling in my team anyday

Did you miss the part when he gave Chelsea a throw deep in our half, rather than use his left foot? Never gives the ball away indeed.Likewise. Never gives the ball away. Thought he was excellent again today
That's a testament to how injured we've been this season.I appreciate what he is able to do, but if we go into next season without a replacement for him I will be stunned. He's played the most games for us this season, just imagine if he had a final ball or was able to actually finish his chances...
I guess unlike every other player then.Did you miss the part when he gave Chelsea a throw deep in our half, rather than use his left foot? Never gives the ball away indeed.
