JoeAman08 Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 His passing was excellent but as said it was his off the ball stuff that won me over. He was always in good positions to receive the ball or to break up and intercept play. He was also an organiser telling the CBs when and where to play it.

Hunsupport Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 His passing is always around 90% so let's not get carried away with this. He played very secured yesterday, as time will go and the players gel a little he will try risky passes - strictly in the final third. I was surprised by his 2 shots, I think he will improve on that as well as he's really not the shooting guy with his only 2 goals in his carrier... The below video shows his only one for the national team from 0:44 but it's worth watchng from the beginning as to see how he's involved in further goals. He's #8 (btw that's why he chose #4; his fav is 8 and he picks number related to that somehow and as 4x2=8 then it's explained). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 6 hours ago, Robbored said: He does come with a classy reputation so a high pass completion rate would be par for course. The issue I have with pass completion percentages is that they doesn’t give details on what type of passes they were. Two CBS could simply be passing 20yards sideways to each other any number of times. Does that count as a completed passes? So was Nagy stood in a CB position, just playing 1-2’s with another player for most of the match..? No - so I’m not sure what your point is..?!

Stats regarding pass percentages can be, in isolation, misleading and I used an example of two CBs playing passing to each other repeatedly as an indication of how pass percentages can be misleading. The two CBs involved would have better pass percentages than say, a midfielder but they didn’t effect the game in a proactive way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 He's been variously described as a metronome or a Busqets type (high praise indeed) which I think to be accurate. I see him as the player who sets the tempo or rhythm at which we play. He is so comfortable on the ball and seems very aware of what's around him, enabling him to change the point of attack seemingly at will. Fitness permitting I think he'll be a joy to watch this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(19/19 backwards) And here’s his Cardiff debut: Great app, and one I’ve used for a few months now. It highlights some interesting info to digest after a game. It also makes it hard to defend Brownhill when you see his data, and think that he was always the golden child with Pack the bad player- the stats will tell you a very different story!!! Never-mind- onwards and upwards, Naggy looks good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never-mind- onwards and upwards, Naggy looks good so far. I really liked Brownhill’s performance yesterday. His longer range passing was off but I thought it was an all action performance and good fluidity with Nagy. He won the ball back all over the pitch. I’ve looked beyond 40/55 passes. Yeah, I have been critical of Josh, but I thought he was good yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednotblue Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 @Davefevs out of the three centre backs was one of them the primary distributor or was it fairly even? Did the second half show a drop in the punt forward?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allwaysred Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 10 hours ago, Red Exile said: He picked up the ball and invariably did something useful with it. He appears a perceptive player, taking the ball and passing it on to someone better placed...and doing so at pace...like a kind of motor driving the team. It was very impressive for a debut. Best appreciated when you can see it being done, hopefully he'll be consistently doing this in home matches where a greater number of posters can witness it for themselves. Edit: @RobArnold10 got there before me! And probably put it better! And on reflection if you want to notice him you might need to follow him around the pitch...he's doing a lot of work very unobtrusively, and quickly, almost below the radar. Best debut I've seen in some time in a city shirt shear class... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stats in a debut I don't think being GJs son helped but I think if LJ was playing in today's modern game he would be much more appreciated. Still to this day I am convinced that had LJ of not got injured we would have gone upto the prem automatically. I'm sure LJ said over the summer he wanted to bring in a similar type of player as he was? And it seems we have got just that with the added extras of Nagys defensive abilities.
