Samir Nasri

[Jumanji]

Mancini watching player ? Look at the players he's bought who looked shit hot till he brought them to city and will then fuck them into his system which is not the way they where playing when he bought them ?

Erm...Like who?

Let me guess, just Nasri?

Get Hazard if you must, but Nasri has a great footballing braim. City fans have to realize that.

Playing Nasri as a wide player, is like telling Modric to do Bale's job.

Mancini did it last season by playing Milner as a winger and he didn't impress, but this season he had more games as a CM and he impressed the majority of this forum.

And I think Nasri will be better as a CM and not as a winger.

Milner hasn't been that impressive. He had a dew great games (2) had a bunch of average ones. and a few shitty ones. It just so happens he is having fewer shitty games this season than last. Funny enough, his best games were actually playing wide and not at CM. Folks just seem to gloss over that fact.<br /><br />-- Sun Mar 18, 2012 10:10 pm --<br /><br />

I just rewatched the Sporting game, and Nasri was pretty good. City fans and probably lots of his teammates don't understand how Nasri plays. He'd be a killer on a team like Athletic, and should be a killer for us once most of the players get him.

1 thing about Nasri is that he doesn't force the issue. Something most City fans tend to hate about him. But this is actually a fantastic quality he has if you understand or watch his play closely. Even I thought he had a shitty game against Sporting until I went back and watched it again. When Nasri turns back and passes off, he almost immediately darts into the area the ball should have gone had he tried to force the issue. No one gets this except for Yaya and Aguero.

He did this 3 times and would have been in had he gotten a return pass. It is such a beautiful move, that it pains me that too many don't see it. He was the catalyst for the penalty Aguero won and moved well all game.

I see what you're saying. A lot of his run's aren't picked out..at Arsenal he had Fabregas to pick him out with ease as Fabregas typically does.

I'm still not a fan of Nasri though.

Neither am I for the most part. But I see how much more he can add, once his team mates catch on.

Nasri on Canal+: 'At #AFC i played too much. That's why i was often injured. I was dead. I've improved at #MCFC, especially mentally'

I am not sure how he improved at City ?

IMO, he only had 3 to 5 impressive games, while the rest he was average and most of the times below average.<br /><br />-- Tue Mar 20, 2012 7:17 pm --<br /><br />

Maybe Milner didn't have a run of games as a CM, thats why he didn't impress you yet in this position.

While last season he had many games as a winger, and he didn't impress the majority of this forum.

First time in my life that I've heard that a footballer was content with not playing as much as possible.

@mattspiro

Samir Nasri has been trying to hard to convince everyone (and himself?) his move to #MCFC has been a success, saying he's happy playing less

Is this guy an Arsenal fan ?

 

[BigJoe#1]

He's a great player.

We're very very lucky to have the luxury of selecting such players.

It may make sense if you look at it from different angel.

Would you want a job with :

1- More responsibility & Less Money ?

Or

2- More money & Less responsibility ?

I'm going to blow this thread wide open and say like nasri. He's good, good enough for us, where we are now and where we will be in the future.
I know it goes against the grain to single out a player and give him deserved praise but fuck it, I'm in one of those moods.

 

[sam-caddick]

Nasris best role is behind he striker not on the wings IMO, we should trial him as a floating CM; a little like Yaya!
