Nakamura?

Is He not the biggest *-bag ever to play football?

If i were a celtic fan i would be frustrated with the ammound of tackles and 50/50's he bottles it out of.

I counted 5 or 6 in the Copenhagen game that he should have challenged for but insted he poofed out of it.

Your thots please?

 

Are you a hurting hun?

GIRFUY

 

i constantly have to listen to the uneducated * behind me screaming at naka for pulling out of the odd 50/50 but i also know he is not the only one shouting at him.

its time these people realised that naka is not roy keane or neil lennon his game is not about flying into tackles he cant do what lennon/keane can do just like they cant do what he can with a ball.

people need to realise that he's about 5'9 and about 10 stone if he did fly into these tackles like these people wanted he would get seriously hurt and we would have to do without our most gifted player for weeks at a time

 

oh and btw ross 1877 dont come on here and have a pop at the champions or any of the champions player's when your team is a * shambles. havn't scored against the champions in 5 games GIRFUY

 

Why are so many huns so obsessed with our team and players from it?????? Could it be they are to embarressed to talk about thier own team as it is a disgrace to scottish football? eh rossy wossy??

 

Why does everyone seem to think i'm a 'hun'

I know nakamura isnt a roy keane or a neil lennon, but the guy should still tackle and try to win the ball instead of bottling out of it, mabey stick a foot in here or there.

Nakamura is a great player and i'm not trying to slate him, i just reckon he should tuffen up a bit

 

naka is a great player and has been our most creative player for ages now. we just have to accept that he isny a big tank of a guy and cannie dive into all sorts of challenges that come his way, cause 99% of the time it's a defender who he comes up against and will come off 2nd best 99.9% of the time... wit is it wae the huns anyway? have they realised and learned to deal with the fact theyre team is utter haw maws and decided to come oan here and pick at every wee thing up with the champions??

 

Whos saying he has to fly into tackles with bit meaty defenders?

Time after time i saw him pulling out of tackles in the center of the park which if he put a bit of effort in he could easily win.

Your more likely to get injured pulling out of tackles than going into them

Nakamura need to show a bit more desire

Thats all

 

Well said m8

 

We're watching you Mr Negativity

 

so ross should mcmanus start taking on three players and then try to send a ball into the box , should zurawski sit in his own half and try to break up attacks? No course they shouldnt cos its not part of thier game the same as diving into all sorts of tackles is not part of naka's. The guy is class at what he does so give him a break. Why do so many people see the negative aspect of things ??

 

Once again you complete Dobber! I'm Not a HUN

I'm was just asking a question.. as this is a football fourm i thot i would ask a question.. get your opinions on nakamura.

But instead all of you jump on my back for being a 'hun' ?

I'm not

 

Fair point. Nakamura is a great talent. and i'm not trying to say he's not

i'm just saying mabey now and again challenge for the ball.

not once did i say that he should fly into ever tackle.

i'm just saying he pulls out of alot of tackles which he could win.

and if i was a Celtic fan, it would frustrate me.

 

And I never gave my opinion on naka? read it carefully ya wrongyin, a clearly gave my opinion on naka and then... i made a comment about rangers fans in general, hardly jumping on yer bak is it? get it right

 

Wrongyin? - Aye very good

You were clearly trying to point out that i was a hun and i was trying to have a go at the 'champions' when i clearly wasnt

 

Actually if you watched the Copenhagen game on Tuesday closely you should of noticed that Nakamura broke the play up a lot with interceptions etc.

As been said, there are other ways to contribute rather than flying into 50/50 tackles.

I actually think since he has arrived, and for hi stature, he has got stuck in pretty well.

No complaints here

 

When did i ever say he has to 'fly into 50/50's'

all i was saying should he not put in a few tackles now-and-again.

Thats all

 

I agree Naka could make more of an effort in tackles.

Why do people expect McGeady to work back and put in tackles? He is the same type of player as Naka, small and light, attacking but he was still told by Strachan to work harder to get back and help out defensively. He has also bulked up as many fans said he had to do. Just because Naka is no from Europe doesn't mean he can't tackle.

There's no harm in encouraging Naka to stick a toe in. Thats all that is needed to nick the ball off someone or poke it out of play or to a team mate.

We all know he is no Lennon, he's not gonna jump into sliding challenges, but a toe in now and again can help grealy.

In spite of what I have said he did well to help break up some play the other night so good on him.

 

Well said liamsquire, us Tims have been saying since he joined that Naka is basically a * bag when it comes to 50/50's, so whats different now? For me he was our best player against Copenhagen, in the first half anyway, but just because he's in good form doesnt mean the jury's not still out.

Id love for him to be more passionate and get in about it more, there's no reason why he shouldnt. Plenty of players who are not exactly solid have a physical side to their game, and imo Naka needs to improve that side of his game if he wants to be a consistent player for us, especially considering we play in the SPL.

 

EXACTLY!!!
