To get as far as criticising nakamba in the burton game, you would need to get past taylor, hause, lansbury and el ghazi way before you got to nakamba. Agreed, he's a decent option to have as a squad player. There are others that are higher up the list as potential transfers out. Nakamba puts in an effort, has good tackle but needs to improve his passing a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Nigel Reo Coker would run 50 yards with the ball lose it because he couldn't pass wind, run back 60 yards win the ball back then pass it back to the opposition. Nakamba is the same. If he just sat and passed it simple he'd be invaluable. We need him to be marvelous.

villa89 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Tries his best but he's not good enough on the ball. He's only a backup anyway but we have too many inadequate backup CM's, we could do with another one to compliment Jack, McGinn and Luiz in case one of them is injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 In my view, he's the guy on the bench who we can bring on for the last stages of a game to try and see it through, and break the game up with some interesting tackles. I fully expect him to start 0 league games this season, but give first choice players a rest in games like last night's. I also expect him to leave next summer,, unless he fully develops into the player mentioned above with better passing, in which case he might just be here for a few years in exactly that role.

meregreen Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Simply not up to the standard we need if we’re to push on. Not terrible, just not very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I watched him against Burton and believe the issue I see isn’t his passing. he is incredibly defensive, he passes the ball and then moves over to an opposition forward to stay close and mark them, thus removing himself as a passing option. his role appears to be “Mark players and close the space, that’s it”. he isn’t a DM which tackles, passes and then looks for space or the ball back. countless times against Burton he could have moved into space in the centre to get the ball, but was too close to an opposition player and always had them between our player with the ball. he’s very much a break down play, get the ball back and let everyone else do that, which he is good at, but I don’t think our side can carry a position or role like that unless everyone else is absolutely Gun Rapid. he is a squad player not a first team player, we need another Luis type player who wants the ball back at his feet as well as being a good defensive midfielder.

AvfcRigo82 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Hopefully we see him feature in alot if games this season. It will be interesting how he links up with Traore. Edited September 21, 2020 by AvfcRigo82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Seems some people expect him to play like a #10. Thought he was solid tonight and did his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Nothing wrong with his performance tonight, let down with those around him. Comfortably good enough as a backup DM this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would people expect him to be a attacking midfielder? To me he struggles with the basics of positioning, too often he gets bypassed on the counter attack. Ultimately we have to keep him short term otherwise Luiz gets injured and Hourihane's the only one from the midfielders who could attempt to play DCM and he's pretty poor in that role.

Sulberto21 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I think people should watch each game objectively and without pre conceived ideas. If you do that even when a player has a decent game you'll not enjoy it and you're going to say they were rubbish. He did his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
