Did you ever watch Ali b?
yeah, you never saw the question I was answering. the guy said Nasir is the best ball player we have (all along them lines) had so I said do you ever watch Ali.

Samir Nasri can be likened to most other players at the club. He is technically very gifted. Some weeks he will have an impact and others he won't. I thought that was obvious - perhaps some think not.
I just don't get why single out Nasri? Are all the others immune?

Could Silva score the goal Nasri did V Porto or V Fulham? and please don't post that goal V Blackpool.

johnmc said:When you look at him for arsenal, the period when fabregas was out of the team and he was the main man he was awesome and that period was probably what attracted us to him. We have seen nothing like that so far. He has been ok but he is obviously capable of playing much better. He needs to be played through the middle but I doubt we can ever accommodate that.
To be fair John, I think you are talking from watching highlights on MOTD, because most of the time I was watching City matches while Nasri was filling in for Fabregas. That's not having a pop - it's just we all know that 'highlights' don't necessarily give a true picture.
The period that johnmc refers to is really the only period of time that Nasri truly showed what he was all about, prior to that the Arsenal fans and management had grown tired of his inconsistency. Even after that period, the 2nd half of the 10/11 season saw him drift off into obscurity again before we signed him.

I guess that's what a little extra motivation can do for a player. He missed out on the 2010 World Cup & obviously took it to heart. Perhaps recently he's gotten little too complacent with his goals thus becoming easily satisfied.
With Nasri, i often feel like its not his skills that I'm frustrated with, but rather his mentality. He can be so much better than he is if he set his mind to it instead of simply just playing it safe.
He's an incredibly intelligent player & everything that he does, he does for a reason. I think that as strong as Nasri is, he would benefit a lot more with a people's coach than someone like Mancini.

Soz and all that, but since my first game in late '68, I haven't seen anything about him that marks him anything more than 'average' as a player for us.
He runs into more dead ends in a game than anyone I have seen in a Blue shirt.....maybe I am missing something...?
THIS!!!! He slows the game down all the time vastly overated!!
