KentVillan Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I like him and have rated his performances recently, but I thought he was pretty poor tonight. The game didn’t really justify his presence, especially after they scored and then the red card. Was always going to be us trying to get past a parked bus, and I don’t think Marv offers anything in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not Nakambas fault he wasn't subbed off but yes, as soon as the red was shown it should have been all out attack. We're one nil down with absolutely nothing to lose. Tactically poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never really needed what he does best and really needed what he's less good at. Wrong decision to play him, no matter how harsh it would've been. Football is harsh. It's all about the next game, not about the previous game. That's harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezzaleed Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 showed today he's not good enough for prem. very poor throughout yard or two off pace. can't tackle which is a bit of a downside for a defensive midfielder. directly at fault for first goal as he just let the attacker stroll into the box under no pressure whatsoever. get shot in sumner and get in a proper defensive midfielder.

poitier Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I thought he was good first half, bar one poor misplaced pass. I do think he was at fault for the goal, don't know if he was just tiring so much that he just couldn't follow the run. Even so, I wouldn't have taken him off.

DCJonah Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Made some decent tackles first half but he's not a player who should be in a top half prem team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Zero game time even as a sub then chucked in Anfield away. Set up to fail while McGinn plays 90 minutes every single game regardless. Lesson 1. Be a managers favourite. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 He does ok against teams that don’t press and who lack quality but when he is rushed on the ball, my god he struggles. I actually don’t mind Nakamba, it’s just plainly obvious that he ain’t good enough for where we want to be as a club and he’ll do well to make the squad week in week out next season.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I still like him and doesn't give the ball away six times per game like McGinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV82 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Sorry but when we have the ball we may as well be playing with 10 men. It's that bad. Seems like a cracking guy and defensively smart but not suited for how we want to play at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratvillan Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Nakamba is pretty poor, but he allows mcginn to push forward more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vreitti Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Has some obvious limitations, but far from "poor", or "not good enough". I fully believe, and expect him to improve yet, and in order for that to happen, he needs to play more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Has his limitations, and I'm not a massive fan of his. But today thought he was doing ok. He certainly wasn't playing poor enough to be subbed for a woefully out of form Barkley. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ozvillafan Posted April 10, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2021 Thought he was the best of our midfield 3. Some lovely steals and generally a good job screening the back 4. His passing was better than most and I only remember him turning the ball over once. I would have kept him on the pitch and swapped out Traore for, well, anybody really. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
