Adios Navas

Spain obviously don't know much about football, good point.

Was he not top for assists for City last season too? Good when considering he only played half the time

Could be wrong, but I'm sure I read he played the most mins last season for city.

Navas is frustrating - no doubt about it. Compouunded by having Zab out - although Sagna has done well. Would liker to see Roberts get a chance. The real worry is that four of the goals we have conceded have been since Vinny came off. Need to steady the defence.

I wouldn't say I'm a fan of his, but I will back him. He's a squad player, same as Adam Johnson was for us. Not his fault he's been played in games he's not suited to because others are injured.

Didn't navas play more minutes than any other city player last season.

I'm sure he did.

Criticise a player if he has a bad game, criticise the manager if he has a run of bad games but still gets picked.

Navas is one of your best players statistically. 15 chances created.

to be fair its quite an interesting comment, and unusually not about United. Navas doesn't feck everything up and his pace really unsettles full backs. It's just that the stuff he does feck up makes you want to tear your hair out. Like when he goes through on goal you just know he's going to screw it up.

I only got to watch Saturday's MOTD last night. I wonder how many articles slagging Navas off were written on here and in the media AFTER Shearer and Murphy ripped him to shreads.

What is frustrating with Navas is the amount of times he actually gets into great positions, it's incredible, but doesn't make the most of it. However he still creates a lot. Against teams who are difficult to break down, perhaps his directness is not the right way to do it. You need the likes of Silva or Nasri for that and incidentally they were the two missing against West Ham.
