Humanoid Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Really poor again. He nearly cost us another goal today, gaving the ball away on the 6 yard line to a Norwich player who shot and it was either Konsa or Hause who made a goal line block/clearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) His first couple of months here and I thought we had the next Gana. The last 6 weeks of performances and he looks like the next Djemba-Djemba. Edited December 26, 2019 by Dr_Pangloss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I don't understand how player can get to this level and have such an abysmal first touch. Needs taking out the firing line so he can relax a little. His first few games were decent - so hopefully he can get back to that in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I really wanted us to get Rongier or Santamaria instead we bought Nakamba - great back story but this isn’t a hollywood movie we’re producing. He has really gone backwards since his first few games where he looked really good . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I actually thought that his general play was ok today. He definitely has ability but just seems another who is low in confidence. He will get better again in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted December 26, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2019 2 hours ago, AVTuco said: He doesn't want the ball at all. Tries to defend and hides. I really don't like him. This is what I see, when we're in possession he hides behind opposition players , and never shows for throw ins, he needs dropping 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I don't want him to show for the ball tbfh. He couldn't trap a bag of cement. Just win your tackles, get your interceptions in and stay away from the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) I think he has been one of our better player for quite some time, but he has been poor in the last matches. Needs some rest and bench time now. Edited December 26, 2019 by DeepDish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the right answer Looked OK at the start, neat and tidy with something to prove and put himself about, now looks under pressure and nervous and a bit timid, give him a rest and see 8f he gets his bite back Good player in there somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) It must be a very tough, tiring job running all round the pitch as he does shutting opponents down a cleaning up. My son loves him, came out with the Nakamba4Eva chant, think he's my lads fav player so for my lad, I'm rooting for you to make it big at Villa. I wouldn't like the solo cdm role, but think two cleaning up and chasing down is the way to go in front of our defence. Think Nakamba will shine at some point.

HanoiVillan Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Just doesn't guard the ball carefully enough. It's a big problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's suddenly got really nervous on the ball and it's affecting his whole game. I think we broke him by leaving as the only man defending alongside Heaton while everyone else danced forward.

Delphinho123 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 He’s not good enough. One of the reasons we’ll go down. There are plenty of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 The irony is against Norwich he had the best passing accuracy of all our players. Defensively he was poor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) I believe there's a decent player in there but he's a player in very poor form. Gana went through a similar spell here and his touch looked awful and he couldn't pass the ball well. I think Nakamba is a similar player and going through a similar patch. At least I hope so. That said, there were clearly better options out there at the time we signed him. Edited December 28, 2019 by Dr_Pangloss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted December 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) A few matches ago people were hailing that we finally had a capable midfield destroyer, a Reo Coker who could pass etc. Now he is garbage... Hasn't been good for a few games now, but neither has anyone else really. Too early to write off surely?

MaVilla Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) Weird First few games we were all saying he was class, a mini kante. Now he's crap? Neither are probably true, but still, what going on?, lack of confidence?, having to do too much alone as other players not working hard enough? A lot to be said for all players looking better when they all work hard as it isn't all down to a few players doing it...... I wonder if he is getting isolated as he is one of the few working his ass off and is getting exposed because of it. The team doesn't work hard enough as a unit and its really showing recently.

M_Afro Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 His first half season in the PL has been good overall. He is struggling a bit for form at the moment but will be better as a result. Would love him to score. I think it would do him the World of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
