Re: Samir Nasri
Thought he was our best player which says it all. I love his new desire this season, himself and the subs were the ones putting a shift in at the end.

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.squawka.com/news/2013/12/12/why-samir-nasri-could-come-back-to-haunt-arsenal-on-saturday/2013121242762" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.squawka.com/news/2013/12/12/ ... 3121242762</a>
Third-placed Manchester City host league leaders Arsenal on Saturday lunchtime in a crunch fixture at the top of the Premier League table. City are currently six points behind the Gunners after 15 games but whoever comes out on top at the weekend will be the favourites for the title.
Samir Nasri was Squawka’s player of the month in November –
The home side have been in unbelievable form at the Etihad Stadium this season but have struggled in away games, to everyone’s bemusement. They will be very happy to be playing the league leaders on their own patch after three tricky away fixtures in the space of a week. City have scored 29 goals in seven home matches this season with Sergio Aguero, Alvaro Negredo and Yaya Toure receiving most of the plaudits for their fine early season performances. But one former Gunner, who was criticised for some lacklustre displays since his move to Manchester, has been in brilliant form himself this season. This man is Samir Nasri.
Arsenal will have to keep a very close eye on the French maestro this Saturday. He has the ability to carve open defences at will with intricate through balls, regularly finding space in between the lines and in the channel between the opposition’s centre-back and full-back. Nasri’s presence in the team gives City’s full-backs the space to overlap as he drags defenders inside with his clever runs both on and off the ball.
No player in the City squad has managed to create more chances for team-mates than Nasri (31) so far this season.
Nasri’s chance creation
He is capable of producing everywhere in the final third, meaning he is very difficult to mark and keep quiet.
Nasri’s chance creation map
Despite spending a lot of his time trying to find space in between the lines of the opposition, it has no effect on his pass accuracy. Nasri finds a teammate with a pass 90% of the time and has already completed over 650 passes this season. His reliability on the ball is vital to City as they like to pass through teams and work the ball into the box. Thirty four of their 41 league goals have come inside the area with the likes of Nasri and David Silva crucial cogs in City’s passing machine.
City’s goals this season
But Nasri’s skills don’t end there. The Frenchman loves a dribble too, completing 77% of his take-ons so far this season. When a defender is able to track him, Nasri is capable of beating them with ease, making it extremely difficult to stop him playing.
Nasri’s duels in 2013/14
He is such a well-rounded play-maker who is good with both feet and has an end product. Nasri has four goals to his name this season, converting 33.3% of his shots into goals.
Nasri’s placement for his goals in 2013/14
He has been given extra freedom at the Etihad this season by Manuel Pellegrini to be fluid with his movement. The Frenchman never sticks to one position and will have an added incentive to keep up his stunning form as he goes up against his former club this weekend. Arsenal will rightly have their eyes on the likes of Aguero and Toure on Saturday but if they underestimate Nasri, there will be severe consequences.

Re: Samir Nasri
Never wanted a player to bag a winner as much as i do Nasri tomorrow! Would also be great to see Clichy or Wright score, i might stick £100 on Wright to score first!

Re: Samir Nasri
Nasri is going to stun them tomorrow. This is his chance to have a go at their fans who've been treating him like shite as soon as he left.
