I hope this are just mind games...if he is really injured is very bad for us

 

[Grimble]

I don't understand the point of mind games. I mean wouldn't he just be seen training anyway?

Gutted if true but doesn't change the result for me Nasri to fill in for Silva.

Hart

Zaba Kompany Nastasic Clichy

Toure Barry

Nasri

Tevez Balotelli Aguero

He was excellent from February onwards last season. In some games he was by far the man of the match. He was our best midfielder against Everton on Saturday too, don't think he misplaced one single pass.

oh i agree with you, he doesnt miss many passes, but then again, neither would my gran if she passed it a couple of meters each time playing tippy tappy football. he does the simple things but very rarely do i see him do something extraordinary ala silva. he has to step up and be be counted and actually have a proper effect on games. my personal opinion of course. feel free to disagree

This. If Silva's not available I'd sooner see Suarez get a chance, even though he's very young and inexperienced. I'd rather take the risk than go with Nasri, he simply doesn't do enough worth noticing. If goalkeepers, defenders and defensive midfielders get through games without you really noticing them then they've done their job well - sometimes individually and sometimes as a unit. However, any player in Samir Nasri's position should be noticed, they would have to get involved and do something to worry the opposition. Rarely seen Nasri do this, ever, with exception of a real purple patch whilst at Arsenal.

Silva would be a huge miss, really important we have him fit for Sunday. Fingers crossed It's mind games, but I have a feeling It's not.

Nasri's ball retention is first class. I genuinely don't get this negativity around him these days. Very rarely gives it away, holds the ball up well. It's been difficult for him playing 2nd fiddle to Silva's undoubted class since he arrived though and he often ends up playing wide which is probably not his preferred position.

probably the same sort of hamstring injury leighton baines had on saturday!

you best be right..leighton baines with everton assist. fucked us

 

[Ntini77]

Fuck.

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Hope he's not out..

The answer is simple. Stick a plaster over his hamstring and he'll be fine.
