Player Topic: Navas.....

[Carsten75]

Would be good to see the wide men swap sides every so often. Navas seems to be chained to a 3 meter strip on the right hand side of the pitch. More chance of a shot cutting in from the left. Switch things when plan 'A' is not working.

Just like Mancini turned Kompany into a world class centre back?

Hope so, Navas is full of speed and I rate his defensive contribution more than his offensive abilities. His shooting his abysmal but he tracks his runners to death (more like Milner, I know right ?). I see an issue with his small size but his speed is more than enough to cover up for it. He is a true hustler in my opinion.

I'm sure Pep will bring at least 20% improvement out of all the playing staff.

Not sure whether Navas will survive the cut though.

However a quick crap player is better than a slow crap player.

I like his effort.He plays hard and that's more than most on our pitch these days. With possession he's So desperately One footed....
Ironic that his best asset is defensive
And Kolorovs is offense
Players in the box could help his assists though
Substitute player at best

Navas - yeah just great. When was the last he scored a goal - this century or last ?

It wasn't that long ago, think about it.

It's his crossing which frustrates me most, he seems content just to win a corner.

remember the confed's cup the summer we bought him, he looked great.....but upon being able to watch him now for a few years he doesn't really give us much just pace but no ability to actually take anyone on or score

hopefully he will be replaced but have a feeling it wont be this summer

I know he isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I rate navas. He tries most of the time, his passing is usually of a good standard, when defending he does appear to attempt to track back and put pressure on the opponent (which is a lot more than most this season) and he's happy to play a bit part.
If he was sold who would we make 'life of Brian' jokes about?

The stuff your praising him for surely barker or Roberts could do and they couldn't possible be worst at shooting or crossing than him?

Guardiola will be thinking along those lines too

Navas for me does the job now as good as anyone, but obviously that's because pellers is stagnant with his squad.
