Has Nasri been our biggest loss?

OK, I know I am going to get Pelters from some, but I'm convinced that the loss of Nasri for what will be most of the season will be the factor that costs us most!

Without him we fail to retain possession as effectively, but moreover we have nobody willing to play and then move into the box to receive again.

Just think back to goals like Chelsea home is 2012 and Everton away this season; both goals and countless others are based on being in the right place after continuing to run into the box.

Currently we have nobody who takes a chance and plays 1-2's in and around the area. Kun comes short to pick up and then just runs head down toward goal. Navas can't shoot to save his life. Sterling is more 1 footed than Long John Silver and would rather try to win penalties. Silva for all his assist, seldom moveds once he plays the ball and is very static. KDB is another that goes it alone (as seen last night) or delivers early crosses, and Yaya is all about shooting from distance.

In short, once a team get back and set up defence, we just cannot create anything. We have loads of fruitless possession. It's painful to watch as the ball goes left and the right whilst 6 defenders mark a static Aguero.
 
We thought it about Silva and we seem to have been wrong and he is much more important than Nasri. I suspect the biggest loss is Kompany.
 
Yesterday we had the lions share of possession but did nothing with it. I have never been a fan of Nasri but I do agree he would mean those endless triangles with Yaya and Silva would be back . We are however a shadow of what we were 2 years ago. We have wasted the best years of this squad.
 
He only started in one of the first 5 winning games so we didn't miss him them. We haven't played as well since KDB came into the side funnily enough. He has done ok individually but the team hasn't done as well.
 
If nasri had come on at 75 then there's a chance he would've netted. I think he's a bit lazy but he always manages to either score or assist which is annoying so you can't criticise him, haha.
 
A fully fit Samir Nasri that is playing in the same form that he was when we bought him from Arse n' hole is a great player to have. A lethargic and apathetic Samir Nasri that turns it on when he can be bothered is a total waste of space. He isn't any use being out injured either!
 
Help me please. Why is Nasri out till May ?. I thought he had a hamstring problem - but so many others have had - and come back.
On his day Nasri is good but the last few appearances he did not seem focussed.?.

For "last few appearances" read "last 18 months."
