sheepyvillian Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 What pride he must instill in the young ,football playing Zimbabweans. When they see their hero holding his own on such a stage. There's an enthusiasm about his play that is so infectious. He is a shining example that hard work and perseverance usually gets its reward.

Zatman Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The smile is awesome as well, intercepted Raphinha then won a foul. Just kept smiling, i imagine it wound a few people up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kept smiling, i imagine it wound a few people up He played for that foul to be fair and I think Raphinha was saying as much to him and Nakamba just smiled and said 'of course I was but you were still stupid enough to foul me'. It was actually very clever play, resulting in another few seconds to take a free kick being wasted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Was brilliant yesterday but wouldn't start him against Sheffield. We need to be incisive in possession against them as their defence is still very good. I think a midfield 3 of Luiz, Sanson and Ramsey could be good or just Luiz, McGinn, Sanson. That being said against wolves and I think we should play him. If we expect to have less of the possession his flaws aren't massive flaws (and he keeps possession well doesn't make forward thinking passes - a bit like conor in that regard) and he can do the dirty work for our midfielders.

VillanousOne Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 it's not about him being better than Luiz or McGinn, it's the fact he does the defensive job better than either of them. I would actually like to see him play with Luiz as I think it would allow Doug to get further forward. I remember Doug scoring screamers from outside the penalty area, now he never even tries to shoot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad to see he has kicked on this season and he has really improved. I hope we see more of him starting in the team as he is a solid little player. He should definately keep his place for Sheff Utd imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Nakamba has played well this season and deserves his place in the team. I'm just stating that if he could pass, he'd be a world beater!

onmeedson Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Did a very important job against leed's win the ball and starve leed's in their build up. Has to progress but we can hope we have a ball winner and provider for the silky players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Like I said before the season started, he has a place here. He does a niche job and that's kind of it. Like many other players he needed time to find his feet. He might not ever be good enough to play week in and out of a top 6 team, but a squad player? He'll do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermon Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Is it wrong that I expect him to intercept an opposition player regardless of where he is on the pitch. He's so good at hoovering up n breaking play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted March 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2021 Perfect player against teams who are like to have a lot more possession than us. Chases the midfield relentlessly a bit like a deeper lying Watkins in terms of energy levels. In games where we have more possession he is probably not worth a place as his passing is mostly sideways but he certainly has a place in this squad for the right opposition.

MrBlack Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 On 27/02/2021 at 19:25, Adam2003 said: Dead wrong here. Great game. Carried on his recent trend. Maybe he has turned the corner of composure on the ball. If he can consistently do what he has done in the last few games he's played, he's worth a spot in the team against any of the top 10 in the league. And arguably against some of those lower down too. He still doesn't seem to be able to pass more than 10 yards or spot an attack, but even without those abilities, he was still MOTM for some against Leeds. Plus, if he could do those things, he'd probably be playing for someone else. Hope he can add those abilities to his game, much like he has added composure, and if he can then the sky's the limit.
