villalad21 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Did a lot of good and a bunch of bad. Never seen him lose the ball as much as yesterday but then again it was against a high pressing Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Not a flawless performance, but a very very good one. I like him a lot. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zab6359 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 My only concern with Marvelous is that other teams will come sniffing around him if he keeps putting in performances and improving. Signing of the summer for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brommy Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 BBC’s man of the match. Very unusual for a motm to be awarded to a player on the losing side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll only sell for something stupid these days and our scouting team seems to be pretty decent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Can't see us selling him after 1 good season. Nakamba needs time to build up his reputation in the league. Ask most clubs fans and they probably doesn't even know who the guy is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted he helped them win the title and is a far superior player to Marvelous, but he was pretty much an unknown while playing for Caen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These type of players rarely catch the eye of the average fan....they are too busy looking at the candy. It took me some time to appreciate this type of player.... I loved the quote from De Basque about Busquets....He said " you don't notice Busquets during a game.....but when you watch him carefully, you see the whole game" such a quality quote IMO for a DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I gave him the MOTM for us, but I don't actually think he was good, just a touch less awful than everyone else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 He did a very good job of winning the ball and breaking up some of their attacks but it was his worst display on the ball for us so far. He really does remind be of Gueye. Gueye looked so similar and was similarly not great on the ball for us, like Gueye I think Marvelous is struggling with the lack of quality around him. Marvelous isn't bad on the ball, just limited but he doesn't have enough movement in front of him, players like McGinn are not bothering to show for the ball often and in good space. It makes life difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Great player for breaking play up, just never ever shoot please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted November 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2019 Had a thankless task chasing everything as the rest of the centre went walkabout. Did what he could but with McGinn and Luiz vanishing brought the weaker elements of his game out as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Thought he was pretty poor today but best of the three Which doesn’t say much. Class player though in the making for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
