Why is everybody freezing Nasri right out of the picture in their team selections? I just can't understand it. He's a skilled player, and in the absence of Silva his playmaking abilities may well come in handy. Obviously, it would be a straight choice between Navas and Nasri. But in this case, I think I'd go for the latter, now that he's back from injury.

Personally, cos i think he offers us nothing. He can pass sideways and backwards after hanging onto the ball for enough time to let the opposition get into shape, thats about it. He's slow, 'safe' (until he gets petulant and tries to get sent off) and ultimately only looks good on a spreadsheet for pass completion.

I'd rather Roberts, Barker or Nacho out wide than him
 
It is weird that MP doesn't realize that. He comes off the bench and sparks the team so MP starts him for a bunch of games and he's awful so he doesn't start him and he comes off the bench and sparks the team so MP again starts him for a bunch of matches and he's awful...


He might not be your favourite player but to say he has been awful is somewhat rediculous. One of our most underated and over lambasted players IMO

Nasri is quality, his link up play with Yaya and Silva is excellent, very rarely giving the ball away. People forget he has been an integral part of the team when winning trophies.

Maybe awful wasn't the right word, let's say ineffective. All I know is that when he enters a game with fresh legs and adds the width that he does, all of City's opponents struggle.
