windmillhillred Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Clearly, this is a small issue. However, given we have a footballing genius for a manager that is always looking at marginal gains, I wonder if Johnson's given any thought to even attempting to pronounce Nagy's surname correctly? Surely at some point he has realised that nobody else calls him 'Nagee' and given the various rumours about him struggling to settle into the UK you might think Nagy's boss would make at least a cursory effort to get his not at all difficult surname right.

Carey 6 Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 I thought this the last time I heard Johnson mention him in an interview. Would piss me right off if my boss kept pronouncing my name wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 It’s noticeable. I’ve thought LJ may have the same issue pronouncing certain countries: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubStixx Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 He might be pronouncing it "Nagy" instead of "Naj" because that's what the players refer to him as. Not saying it's appropriate, but just a theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good at playing 5 yard passes between himself and the other midfielders but the times he tried anything remotely more expansive is was overhit, underhit, inaccurate or weak. There was one cross field ball he attempted from the right flank over to Dasilva. He appeared to give it his absolute all, and it failed to get past the other side of the box - very weak legs.

Not as weak as his defending against Ameobi at right back. Hilarious to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Henry just said, watching his effort to tackle Ameobi in the corner near the end was hilarious. Looked like a little boy trying to get the ball off his dad. Then for Lolley’s good chance in the first half he stood still while his man went through. Then he nearly gifted a goal with a slack back pass under no pressure. But he was very good at passing it 5 yards and he ran around a bit. Top show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Whatever the reason for the mispronunciation, I can't understand why he doesn't just call him 'Adam'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Its not Pheckin rocket science..........pronouced just like the Taj in Taj Mahal.......and LJ please stop saying Done instead of Did, it's sets a bad example to kids, you Cog. PS. They have started doing it on the main site as well now. "A free kick UNDONE what was overall an impressive Robins performance" Wow! A Mis pronunciation, and a falsehood all in one sentence.......didn't we do well? (Apologies to all for being such a pedant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 I think you'll find that it's pronounced NUAJ. In the English language the letters tell you it should be NAJEE but it is completely different in fact, NUAJ. You can apply the same rationale to bristol rovers football club. They don't mind where they pitch up and they're certainly not a football club. It's a Hungarian thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood it was pronounced Nage - with a long A, as in apple, and a soft -GE ending, as in Luge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
