The 'playing on the wrong side/ wrong position is in my opinion a rather weak excuse'. Nasri is clearly good enough to cut in from a wide position, beat a player, or play a cutting pass.
If he is struggling to do this early on in the game, I am sure he would have the intelligence to drift inside and play a more central role as the game develops.
An attacking player of quality, given the relatively free role which he has, will more often then not play well in many attacking positions. I doubt Silva would struggle noticeably on the left/right/handcuffed/blindfolded/central side of the pitch.
In my opinion, Nasri was bought to play a more cutting role. He was bought to beat players, pull defenders wide, score goals and add pace on the counter attack. The way we play (often vs. 10 man defences, slow attacking build up) does not favour his style. This explains why his most outstanding performance so far has been against spurs, an open and attacking team.
Nasri is the definition of a luxury player. At home he should start almost every game. Away against a decent team we should play 3 defensive MF (milner, DJ, YT) and 3 attackers, with the view to bring Nasri on if needed.
