It''s not Nasri's fault that the wrong tools are being used for the wrong jobs. If you're trying to tighten a nut, you use a spanner not a wallpaper stripper and that's how I see football so there's no point in blaming the wallpaper stripper when it fails the task its being asked to do. Certain players are better suited to certain tasks than others, so asking Silva & Nasri to run up and down the channels in the Premier League is like swapping Usain Bolt & Mo Farrer's athletic disciplines around and still expecting the medals to come flooding in.TrueBlue1705 said:
It's been said to death that trying to put square pegs into round holes won't work, but yet we still persist. The formation I've outlined above would make the most of the players in the positions they've been placed in and if anything it highlights the fact we lack any top notch wide forwards like Ribery, Robben, Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar or Bale. It says something when the best two wide players I can come up with for City are Navas and James Milner!
If an engineer turned up at your house to fix your washing machine armed with a couple of spuds and a Sharpie pen you'd have every right to be seriously worried. I suppose the first question you'd be asking is, 'Mate, dya wanna borrow my tool box'? The right tools for the right job is the first step, then a viable formation plan based on the players available and the opposition we're playing would sort the Nasri problem lickety split.......
