Kamada

Kamada has things that are good about his game and things that aren't so good. He has good game awareness and makes decent runs. He keeps passing moves alive. He's not fast and doesn't tackle well. He often gets caught out due to lack of pace and strength. He seems to lack composure in front of goal for us. A lot of criticism could easily come from the last easy open goal he missed. In my opinion Glasner was wrong to start him in that game and should have subbed him at half time. Kamada was just back from injury and was struggling at around the half hour mark.

No, but this thread is about Kamada.

Maybe you should start one for every player in the team and we can discuss them on there.

Yes I think I probably know that lol
All I said originally was that Kamada from last April, the Cup final and more so semi final, where surely you must agree he was awesome, has generally been excellent. He gets a lot of unfair stick. That's about it, and some people are on my back more than his lol. People on here said JP was shite, as was Hughes and even Ebs had his moaners!!
I think the best thing is I shut the fcuk up from now😂

We have a political leader in charge of the country who you wouldn’t trust to help you cross the road, so people in charge are not always correct.

It is wise to use your own eyes when assessing performances. They don’t lie. Kamada makes costly mistakes in games and he’s done it from day 1 that he joined us.

That’s a bit of a mad comparison.

Football is far more meritocratic than politics - if we’re going to use terms like ‘good footballing brain’ as an argument, then it has to be highlighted that Glasner has a better one than anyone posting here.

I think that's a good summary of his game.
 
There's been a few references to 'the stats' and Kamada in the thread lately, so I'm copying the below from a post I did a few month's ago, based on league games in the 24/25 season.

The 'stats' absolutely support the argument that Kamada is a hugely influential player for us.






Forward Passes per 90 Mins:
1. Wharton - 7.33
2. Kamada - 5.11
3. Lerma - 3.83
4. Hughes - 3.72

Progressive Dribbles per 90 Mins:
1. Kamada - 1.44
2. Wharton - 0.96
3. Hughes - 0.85
4. Lerma - 0.51

Forward Passes Received per 90 Mins:
1. Kamada - 3.22
2. Hughes - 1.15
3. Lerma - 1.03
4. Wharton - 0.75

Pass Completion:
1. Kamada - 80%
2. Hughes - 76%
3. Wharton - 75.6%
4. Lerma - 75.3%

Tackles per 90 Mins:
1. Hughes - 2.82
2. Kamada - 2.70
3. Wharton - 2.33
4. Lerma - 1.38
 
Like many I’m in that half like, half frustrated with Kamada. I’ve had times preferring him alongside Wharton and then preferred Hughes alongside Wharton. Think Wharton needs to be top of his game when he works well with Kamada. Don’t think Wharton has been that good in recent times though? Won’t be sad to see Kamada go because he is an in and out of form player unlike Hughes. I do wonder if Kamada would be better in a 3 in midfield. I suppose we will never know with Glasners Plan A only set up?

Were these stats from when he played in the front 3 or when he played in a middle two, because that will skew these stats. Wharton, Hughes and Lerma have never played in an advanced position and we already know that both Hughes and Lerma are more defensively than offensively minded.

An interesting comparison would be the stats of Wharton vs Kamada when they have played as a 2 together.

So only 1 in 10 of Wharton's passes are successful!? I know he makes more high risk/reward passes but those stats look very questionable

It's every league game from last season.

Those are volume totals, rather than success rates or anything like that.

'Progressive Passes Received' refers to how often they receive forward passes from others - Wharton is typically the one making these passes, so rarely the receiver - he only receives, on average, 0.75 forwarded passes from teammates per 90 minutes.

Hope that makes sense!
