Seriously, what exactly did Silva do that was better than Nasri against Stoke? Give the ball away 40 times? I love them both, but it's outrageous to see people just blame Nasri, who was actually involved in 3 of our best chances to score! And of course you're not bothered by stats Dave.. why let...

Haven't seen anyone note what I thought was a bit of problem.. we tend to force it into Aguero when he plays. I mean we know how good he is, and he makes great runs, but we are best when we play as a full team, and then when the chances fall to players like Sergio, he takes them. He gave the...

Re: Samir Nasri I think most fans appreciate all the work he puts in, i.e. his big round of applause when he went to take a corner in about the 80th minute. But then you get a comment here or there saying he is 'lazy at times', and that just does my head in! He works SO hard, and he gets back...

Re: Samir Nasri You can see all the evidence of how great a player he is in games like today's. His involvement in both of the first 2 goals was excellent! I even saw Arsenal fans on Twitter talking about how class he is. I think most fans know how important he is, but some people love to talk...

Not to mention motm in both of our title winning games last season. Best player on our team in keeping possession which is our best form of defense, and I don't know if people realize this, but he led the league in chances created last season. Just a BS statement to say Samir doesn't play well...

Not sure how you come to that conclusion based on any real evidence.. we played 4-3-3 in the last 25 minutes or so against Newcastle and it was our worst period of the game. Fernandinho and Fernando both fell back, and we no longer controlled possession or the flow of the game. Newcastle had 2...

It was just a good, solid team performance and I don't think any players deserve to be criticized because all played their part. Dzeko was a great outlet and won a bunch of balls for us, and just put in a great shift. Fernando, Kompany, and Demichelis all solid as a rock. Nasri and Silva...

Re: Samir Nasri What are people on about? He was very good in the first half.. that strike on the volley he had was fantastic, and he had a bunch of great link up play with jovetic and dzeko. Not as involved second half, but worked hard as always and didn't put a foot wrong. Most of the play...

Not to mention Nasri was a huge part of both our title wins last season. One of our players of the year in my opinion.

Why in the world are people so worried about this team? I'm very happy with it.. wasn't sure if Kompany and Demi would be ready so nice surprise there, plus both Silva and Nasri which was a wonderful combination last year. And this stuff about needing an extra man in midfield is really odd to...

I don't think we're going to suddenly change to a 4-3-3 this season, as some seem to be suggesting. Certainly possible against particular opponents, but I think as long as Pellegrini believes we can dominate the midfield with just 2, which we can against most teams, than he will continue with 2...

I don't really think Navas is short of match fitness, I just think he always has difficulty impacting the game as a started. Really wish Silva and Nasri had gotten more than 45 minutes.

What I don't get is why both Silva and Nasri play only 45 minutes. I'm not really concerned with how well they did, but surely this was an ideal time to get each of them a good 70 minutes. I mean someone is gonna have to play against Newcastle. We're a better team with both of them out there, so...

Re: Samir Nasri What an infuriating comment.. I'm glad so many have taken the time to slam you for this. Nasri was amazing for us last year, and if it wasn't for that injury in late winter, he would've been right up there for our player of the season. The 'predcitable' passes you're referring...

Nah start Nasri for sure. He plays really well in games with a trophy on the line (man of the match in both of them last year) and I think he may just have a huge season for us. Plus he cemented his place in the starting lineup last year. If he plays well and maybe even scores in this game, it...
