Re: Nasri

Hmmm.... Fair point, well made Train. But you can't hide the truth.

Re: Nasri

Nasri is better than Silva.

I said time would tell... Well as far as I'm concerned, time told yesterday. Apart from his early shot, he had one of his poorest games for us.

I love both players, but I rate Samir far more highly. David has struggled this season (two or three 'good' games?) - too much is expected of him, and he needs a break.

Samir should be given the freedom to run the show for the next three or four games at least.

I leave in peace...

not even worth commenting on............

Silva has been disappointing this season, no doubt, but there has barely been a shred of evidence in over 12 months that Nasri is fit to even lace Silva's boots let alone play instead of him. Silva was out for a bit this season (IIRC) and Nasri just didn't step up at all (again IIRC).

Re: Nasri

Nasri doesn't play - City have 45% possession, not really mobile midfield and defense are under more pressure and are outplayed all over the pitch.

And some people really think they're some advanced football experts after not noticing what Nasri brings to this team. #shakingmyheadindisbelief

I assume in terms of those possession stats you are referring to the match yesterday? There were other players missing that could easily have contributed to that stat. I'd think Yaya is a bigger miss in terms of possession and defence coming under pressure given that he sits in front of the back 4 and that so much of our build up play (ie possession) goes through him.

Give it rest mate.

Two or three 'good' games? Do you even go to the match. He's been back to his best for months (yesterday he didnt have a good game, I agree) but to say he's had two or three good games is absolutely fucking stupid. Your either fishing or know nothing about football.

Sorry.

Nasri is essential to our possession game. Not Yaya, not Silva or anyone else. He is the one who keeps the ball and makes opposition to be under continuous pressure instead going out and making pressure on us.

I remember seeing some stat a while ago that showed just how many touches and how much possession goes through Yaya, you could be right though, it could be mainly down to Nasri. I'm not convinced that having tons of possession is the be all and end all though. I mean Nasri gets the ball, turns back on himself and passes it backwards/sideways quite a lot. Equally, much of Yaya's passing is simple sideways balls. I'm more interested in how a player can hurt the opposition, especially a player like Nasri who presumably was signed to be creative. Nasri has tons of talent yet, imo, Milner hurts the opposition more than him. I think Nasri has been very disappointing since we signed him.
