Gus knows what he's doing

I guess I should put this on here
Hopefully this will shut up the no nothing c*nts who continuously slag off Navarro just because it was popular to do so under Slade.

Fixed your post for you
It’s a matter of opinions I guess. For what it’s worth I never felt he was rubbish under Slade, he’s just never going to get the praise other players do as he goes about his business quietly and effectively.
He's got plenty of praise recently, because he's been playing well.

According to Gus his presence helps other players play better. It doesn't help Gary Dicker, since he's played on the left, and that doesn't help the balance of our team. If he really thinks Navarro is that important he should drop Dicker and bring someone in on the left or drop one of Murray or Forster and bring in someone on the left.

Yes, but Dicker sometimes drifts in the middle, leaving the left side vunrable.
agree about we are a better passing side though.

I think Navarro offers the team far more than Dicker who makes nice turns every now and then, but isn't good defensively and rarely gets involved in goals

Please please please f*** OFF.
You only get headlines like that if a player is SHIT, the fans can see it and are asking for support for a shit player. Almost in desperation. GOOD players dont get "urges fans to bet behind xxxx" do they.
I know lets just fall over when a player runs past me...like Navarro, lets pull out of a challenge...like Navarro...etc

Die, you hold a personal grudge on Navarro, even if he scored a hat-trick you would still call him shit. bellend.
Take Crofts out the team and you'd see Dicker really flourish. He's already brilliant on the ball, but with space in front of him he would be more effective in the final third.
Guessing you didn't see him against Villa?

On what evidence?
Crofts is the only midfielder scoring goals, and yet you think he's hindering Dicker?
f*** me, some people are kidding themselves into thinking Dicker is some sort of Gerrard.
Crofts/Dicker/Navarrro - ALL average League 1 players, ALL have their positives and negatives.
Good f***ing grief.
I actually agree (for once) with TCB on this one. Besides (the admittedly important) knack of scoring late goals, Crofts offers NOTHING to the side. When was the last time we saw him split a defence with a killer ball? Never. We know Dicker can play excellent, clever passes, let him do it a bit further up the pitch.
Take Crofts out, put Cox/New left winger in and allow Dicker the attacking space, and I think we'd have a balanced, more effective midfield.
IMO.

For my money, it should be Crofts plus either Navarro or Dicker. I think that by playing both Dicker AND Navarro, we're not getting the best out of either of them because they play the same kind of role, but in very different ways.
It would be interesting if Gus snapped up a left winger, then we'd see which one he really thought the most of, Dicker or Navarro.

When was the last time Dicker played a killer ball? Oh hang on, he doesn't either.
Dicker does intelligent simple passes, not creative ones. He doesn't score goals. When he's been further forward, he hasn't scored goals. Slade and Poyet haven't given him an advanced role. He's not an attacking midfielder.
Crofts offers "NOTHING" to the side, despite being a better ball winner than Dicker, and outscoring every other one of our midfielders this season put together. He also makes intelligent passes, he just doesn't have quite the composure or control of Dicker.
Poyet CLEARLY doesn't want to play a straight 4-4-2, he'd rather play the passing game and try and put Forster/Bennett through. So all this talk of a balanced midfield is just another f***ing pointless NSC cliche, in order to give strength to the tiresome campaign of "the sun shines out of Dickers arse, but Navarro is the anti-christ".
It's boring, to be honest.
