That Nasri lad has wound people up. Is he definitely a Blue?
 
yeah, was dead cowardly when he scored the winner in the league cup final. and the goal that won us the league. and the fa cup semi final. roma away. chelsea in 11/12. calling nasri a coward is just baffling to me, after all the times he actually stood up in big games (unlike, say, silva)

also the very next game kevin tried to twat one in from 20 yards on the volley, rather than controlling and retaining possession. lead to a two on one break. would say that classes as putting the individual over the collective

You were making valid points until the brackets at the end.
In half a dozen posts you've managed to take digs at Silva, Aguero and KDB whilst at the same time bigging up Nasri.
Are you related? You can tell us.

i don't seriously think that nasri is better or more important than sergio or silva. but its about balance. you have to wade through tons of bile on here to find a single bit of praise for nasri, despite all he's done for the club. and even when players like aguero are playing as bad as he is now, he mostly gets support, not criticism.

I'd say that's classed as a player having confidence in his own ability to try and hit one from 20 yards on the volley. Sometimes they come off, sometimes they fly high and wide and on the very rare occasion it leads to a break like we saw that game.
We want players who have exceptional individual talent. That's what we're striving for. To play the best attacking football in the league with players who are capable of moments of magic.
KDB fits that profile a whole lot more than Nasri which is why you're going to see his name on the team sheet more often than not.
 
nasri is quite clearly capable of moments of magic. he is also capable of passing to a teammate. his decision making is far superior to that of de bruyne's.

I'll let the football do the talking on this. We can readdress it in a couple of months.
 
Nasri is very gifted . No doubt about it . Needs to step up now that the injury list is high . More courage needed especially to go at defenders and also to defend . This will encourage others ( de bruyne etc ) around him . C'mon Sami , prove to us that you really love that blue shirt.
 
Nasri is nothing compared to KDB. If ever I've seen a player that typifies everything I don't want in a City player, it's Nasri. Not a fighter, no spirit, good when we're good but when the going gets tough, he off. I can't recall a game that he has ever ran for us compared to the likes of Silva, Yaya or Kun. He's a luxury player and I don't see how anybody can begin to imply that he isn't after his cowards move in the derby. In any other game, it's possibly acceptable but in the derby, in the 90th minute, to hide behind a player is a cowards move and showed his true colours.

not a coincidence that, as you say, when nasri is playing well, we play well. de bruyne is an individualist. most people have been praising his performances since he's joined the club, but team performances and results have taken a nosedive. coincidence? i think not

Agree with the first two statements.
I think you are on treacherous grounds with the third.
From what we have seen of KDB in his very short time at City I see very little wrong with his contribution to the team. The best player in the Bundesliga is unlikely to be poor at decisions...,

always tries to be the hero, which worked when he was playing in a poor league and was by far the best player in the team. now, against tougher opposition and playing in a side that dominates most games, and has several match winners, he needs to be smarter.
 
Nasri has helped in winning our trophies and does bring qualities to the team but at times has struggled for consistency and it is unfair to judge De Bruyne after a couple of months at the club.
