isnt this the robin nahas thread where we talk all things nahas not just the pretty rose coloured things. isnt this where you either rate him or or you dont.
for you well you rate him good for you. me hes not good enough and never will be. hes another chapter or part of the glass half full culture that people think will get us to finals but it never happens. hes capable of playing some good footy but he invariably doesnt stack up and drops away.
if you were to judge him only on his strenghts and lets face it they are few and his weaknesses which are many he would never ever get drafted.
you your happy to keep a player who you think, tackles well lol, electric pace no quicker than any other small worth his salt and if wanted get picky could complain about it., determiation i will grant you that one he sure tries hard, lol kicks goals from anywhere now the blinkers are really on. for everyone he gets lucky with his onesidedness and lack of penetration or precision costs us two or three.
me i fully expect him to have all of the above and.
not be the most one sided player in the comp his left foot is non existant, especially for a small player relieng on making the most of every opportunity he really needs to be classy and hes far from that.
. i expect his tackles to actually be effective, your not looking to close if you dont see the numerous times hes just brushed aside.
i expect the foot skill he has on the right to be exemplary because he has no left but it lacks penetration and lets him down far too often.
i expect him to hold his own in one on ones and when over the ball which does not happen and never will. i expect him to stay on his feet, and i expect as i do with any player like him to be a significant part of midfield rotations and we dont drop away to much.
as a 25 yo i expect him to be more involved and consistent in a game rather bobbing up now and then and in the main kicking a cheap goal.
all of these i consider basics and certainly expect them of most players let alone a small we have on the list whos supposed to be mature and in his prime.
nope its your preogative to rate him and think we cant and shouldnt be aimimg for better its exactly that kind of thinking that has seen us mired in mediocrity.
finally there are plenty of good small players in the comp but in the main they are not anyhere near as limited as nahas with his skillset or his output. if you used my method of assesing the list you wouldnt be satisfied with the mediocre nahas but aiming for a better more rounded player.
you obviously get your knickers in a twist if anyone dares criticise a player you like. well tough, he deserves criticism and i wont be changing my assesment of him ive seen more than enough of him to know if we want to improve as a side we need to do better then players with so many weaknesses in his game.
