He’s not spectacular or controlling games, but he’s gone from a 3/10 on the ball to a 5/10 or 6/10 on the ball and he almost looks like a new player. Agree with this. You can see how much he is improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitvilla Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I have never seen Nakamba take a statistically significant number of penalties to offer any sensible opinion on this. In general 4 out 5 penalties result in a goal. Yesterday 3.5 out 5 penalties succeeded at Stamford Bridge. If we throw the in QPR/Everton penalties into the mix it's 22/26 penalty goals ... 4.2 goals out of 5. I can't wait for the melt down for when El Ghazi fails to score from a penalty. Nakamba's penalty was not bad, nor was it a riskier perfect shot either. I would argue it was way better than El Ghazi's penalty against Barrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw that he'd disabled comments too and felt even worse. How bad must the abuse be that they have to do that? The guy doesn't need to apologise for having the balls to step up and take a pen. Didn't he disable his account after a bad cup game last year (so did El Ghazi)? He probably had flashbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could quite easily argue the only 'bad' penalty from a Villa player was Young, as he didn't hit the target. If you hit the target and hit the ball with anywhere near enough power for it to go in, you've done your job. Nakamba did this. Unfortunately Kepa also did his job. That's just how it goes sometimes.

I really hope he gets some decent game time and shows what he’s capable of this season. I think its great to see an unfancied player, suddenly win everyone over.....I love this type of thing. We've got Hause doing it too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still recognised the defensive abilities they had....despite having reservations about their ball control. am I getting ahead of myself?, or is the work with the new coaches already showing dividends. These 2 boys look more comfortable on the ball lately, to what they did. I have always been happy with Kortney in the air, probably the best aerial technician at the club. Its just great to see the improvement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This penalty gives some context to how good Nakamba's penalty was, and Young's for that matter. @RichiBoi11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smg Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 The problem for Nakamba is that he is given no leeway on here by some who decided a long time ago he was shit. He can play well in games and it gets ignored on here but anything seen as below par is suddenly jumped on and highlighted. Sadly this is not the first time that potentially good players have been rubbished on here and at Villa park. Hopefully he will move on and have a good career at a club where he is allowed to develop without constant criticism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Didn't really do anything wrong. Like Young was unfortunate to come on at a time when the back line decided to all turn into clowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv is 27, this is his third season here, we’ve seen quite a lot of him. He’s done nothing to suggest he’ll ever be a top player. On a good day, his off the ball work is class, and he manages to lay the ball off quickly to the technical players. But there’s the problem: we’re delighted when he manages to find feet with a pass because we know this is a challenge for him. You only have to watch him in the warm up to see he’s technically miles behind the rest of the squad, and his peak performance in possession is normal for his teammates. That isn’t a long term option in a Premier League side. So no I don’t think he’s shit, and I like him, but he needs replacing eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Don't really get why people think they can't criticise Nakamba. He's not a bad player, but he's not a great player; he's pretty average and that's not what we need if we are competing for Europe. In his defence when he starts games he generally plays fairly well; but from the bench its a tough position to come into cold. We should have signed a DM in the Summer as we were all calling for; and unfortunately it's now becoming glaringly obvious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just decide they don't like the look of a player and then go all in on criticising them on here whenever they get the chance. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably agree with long term view but at present he is a decent back up that gets unfairly criticised because people make their minds up and won’t budge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may get around to it eventually, but thats not strategic planning, thats having the obvious forced on you and reacting. so we have a squad of 25 and one recognised Defensive midfielder, who is inconsistent, bless him.

hippo Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 He's a little like Kourtney hause. Ok to be used in the very short term in emergency situations. 2-0 up against Wolves and Luiz having played 36 hours earlier isn't reason enough for Nkamba to get on the pitch IMO.

I really think with Sanson we seen a player previously priced at £30m available for £15m and rushed headlong into it. He'd only just returned from injury when we brought him. Good chance we didn't do our homework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
