supermon Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 He looks out of his depth, shot of confidence. Needs to be replaced. He's the shitter of the two between him and Luiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Why can’t he pass all of a sudden, I remember in his first 2 or 3 appearances he looked comfortable on the ball, shits himself every time it comes near him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows he is an absolute bomb scare. As soon as the pass is made they fully commit on his touch, rightly so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Did so much good tonight that won't be acknowledged by most who'll focus on the bad. Bust his arse and did a hell of a job shutting down their midfielders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiltorken Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Confidence is shot, think there's a player in there and playing under the cosh for most periods in the fastest big league in the world is tough for a player used to having time on the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Could do with a rest, hopefully with batteries recharged a bit of composure will return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is doing dirty work unseen and being tidy and then there is doing dirty work unseen and being a walking mistake anytime the ball drops to your feet. He is looking like a league 1 player at times ffs no hyperbole no exaggeration. So far out of his depth it is frightening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted January 8, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2020 On 22/12/2019 at 11:59, AVTuco said: Neither Nakamba nor Luiz is good enough. We're in trouble in front of our CBs. I don't need to change my opinion, do I? Nakamba looks worse than Luiz though. Nakamba is terrified of touching the ball. He is so afraid of making a mistake that he most certainly will. Too bad.

Farlz Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 He just scares me every single time he touches the ball, looks a disaster waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) I think his problem is a team issue. Apart from one or two players we are slow in moving both the ball and players into space ready to receive. I think many are really struggling with the pace of the game in the PL and lack of time on the ball.

KentVillan Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Nakamba is never going to be a technically complete player, so he needs to be making good decisions, winning battles, and getting the basics right. I’ve seen enough good from him this season to think he has a future here, but he needs to be playing as an aggressive, marauding pressing centre mid, not a tiki taka holding mid. Most of his mistakes are him playing little hospital passes around our own box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a total deer in the headlights with the ball at the minute but I think it's still very early days to give him the mob treatment. He was a lot better with the ball in the beginning, obviously confidence is suffering. Patience from fans is what he needs in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they didn't get a goal or assist with the play so therefore they must be terrible. Apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz90 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 His lack of composure lets him down. He looks scared on the ball, he has no confidence and his teammates appear to have little confidence in him as well. I recall Jack having the ball at one point tonight and he consciously passed it to someone in a worse position than another teammate because that other teammate was Nakamba.

Well he wouldn’t have had to shut them down so much if he didn’t keep giving them the ball A few of our players seem a lot happier when we don’t have possession and can fall back to just defending.

Davkaus Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) I won't write him off entirely, but he should be nowhere near the first 11 for games this big. It may as well have been 10 v 12 with this guy giving them the ball all night. Edited January 8, 2020 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
