Yeah saw the same with him, doesnt go into challenges with that much passion, stops himself, stops, turns backs, slowing down, choosing the easier option.
Not the player he was for Arsenal last year. He rarely has a shot/match. He is being played lot deeper, lot less action in the box, don't think it is a good idea with him. He is fast, but he isnt using his real top pace here. That's unfortunately Mancini's thing, you cant be fast, you need to slow down, slow attacks, try to find a slot, even whenwe have a good counter attack chance, even Nasri turns back, waits for others to come, pass back to Yaya, Barry, and opponent is already back in their half, the game can continue...
We did 4-5 times just today instead a superfast counter with Yaya, Nasri, Balotelli, Agüero. They have real pace. They should use it, there should be a tactic built on it.
Just like the whole problem with Dzeko, same with Nasri. Not played for his strenghts. They perform all right but in their former team they were better, a lot better, this was the reason we signed them, and then play them differently.
Wo't get more 60-70% out of them. They are class players but it is better to have a nearly class player with 100% than a class player with 50-70%.
