He’s played a grand total of 13 minutes of Premier League football this season, I can’t fathom a universe where Smith starts him today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know what type of player Nakamba is and its tempting to call it like you do. The burning question is, can he play at this level? when I watch him, too many get past him, too easily......sure he wins the odd tackle......its not enough, you have to dominate the ball and be a disruptive force.........he doesn't, do that ,regularly enough. its games like tonights what shows up the weaknesses in the squad....but of course I'm talking on paper......big night resting on McGinn & Luiz IMO Edited November 30, 2020 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertoAVFC Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Start McGinn behind Watkins please... against a two in midfield I am unconcerned by Hourihane if he was to start in that case. We will need some spot-on delivery to threaten from set pieces against a very good side in the air. Can't see a 75% fit Traore doing much against these lot tbh.

DWG_Pauly Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Watkins and Barkley looked like they have developed good timing from the little that I've seen. Obviously I think it'll be important to have Ollie comfortable with Bark's replacement to provide a punch in addition to Jacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I think we'll beat them like a ginger step child. Possibly a draw. Could lose though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fitness is a concern as he faded badly against Brighton, but he should have had 2 assists from FKs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like he showed against SU and Fulham Because Traore might have a good game, who knows ? There's no guarantee that any player is going to perform until they get out on to the pitch. We've had games where Hourihane as been anonymous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been with the squad and sat on the bench every game, and add to that, he trains every day. I have faith in Nakamba to do a job if called upon.
