I do agree that I sense that nasri is a confidence player, and hence probably a player who needs am 'arm around the shoulder' to produce his best.hgblue said:Didsbury Dave said:Everyone knows I'm mancini's biggest critic but this 'Mancini hindered him' excuse is laughable. Mancini showed massive favouritism towards him for 18 months, picking him in attacking roles when he didn't deserve it, week after week. Mancini didn't instruct him to be cautious and negative. That's just how he plays most weeks.ban-mcfc said:bingo.
plus he was our best player in the last 5 games.
I happen to think Mancini impacted negatively on Nasri in more ways than one. He's at his best when he's played in a more central role, and when he's allowed to play with some freedom. Also, I think he's a real confidence player who needs to feel loved to produce his best form. Did he feeled loved by his manager? I think not. Pellegrini will surprise a few on here by making Nasri a pivotal member of the team, and we'll see a totally different player next season imo.

It was partly Hart's fault. It was mostly clichy's fault in my opinion.

But people need a scapegoat and because Nasri did ONE thing in a high profile match, he is that scapegoat. He's an asset to the team who will have a big season. It could be argued he had a better season than Dave last year.
He's also only had a handful of good games for the club each season and that's the real issue. If he had played great the last 2 years the chicken move vs the rags would have been forgotten. To claim he's being scapegoated makes me think you don't really understand the definition of the word. In modern usage a scapegoat is an individual, group, or country singled out for unmerited negative treatment or blame. He's hardly recieving unmerited negative treatment. The treatment has been merited. He cost us a draw vs the rags. He's underperformed 80% of his time with us.
That kind of proves I do know the definition. He has been afforded all kinds of abuse, when there are players much more deserving of it. Do you agree that people give special treatment to some players?

But how has he not deserved critisism? He's been poor 80% of the time. He's a 25m player who's performed like a 5m player.

Could you point out where I said he hasn't deserved criticism? 'Scapegoating' is defined as 'the practice of singling out any party for unmerited negative treatment or blame as a scapegoat'. I think that describes Nasri's position perfectly. I have no favouritism towards Samir, nor Silva. I am stating that Nasri receives an exaggerated amount because people need somebody to blame. You didn't answer my question either: do you think some players receive special treatment from fans?
