Samir Nasri

[billfromthehill]

Nasri was excellent. Then again, Nasri is an excellent player. I'd suggest that he's become something of a whipping boy, which is why he cops a lot of flak from the know nowts.

Nasri is exactly the type of player i've always hated - when the chips are down he disappears. Great when you're; two nil up, at home, sun shining, against very average opposition and for that once a year your body is feeling perfect.

Yeah terrific but; where was he all the other games when the pressure was on? Letting EVERYONE down that's where. He knows he's in the shop window now - so he has to produce to get the move he wants.................

This is exactly how I feel, I'd say he's more talented than Silva but he's a bottler.

Is this a Clarkie?

Yeah, be careful, this threads a minefield

talent wise i dont think hes far behind david silva, difference is, even when things dont go davids way, he tries, never bottles a challenge and has more of a work ethic.

I'd say he's a better dribbler, far more likely to score and his short passing is as good as as Silva's if not better.

Sure he´s....

His short passing is great (I mean ending every season on around 91 % accuracy rate is unbelievable) but Silva is way better when it comes to killer passes. In that domain Silva imo is the best in the league.

Nasri is probably a better finisher than Silva ; 6 goals on his fisrt season isn't a bad record for a midfielder and Hart shoud know that about him since he teared us apart in his last Arsenal season (we played 10 men that day !!) plus his goal against England at the Euro. But we haven't seen any of that lately. Yesterday Nasri was the player getting the most of the ball but He still didn't try one single shot. Always looking for a better suited teammate to pass it to, he ended up creating 6 chances for his teammates during the first hour of play.

We really need both of them playing and having a long run together to get great results.

But I also want Jimmy (and of course Yaya) to play as often as possible, it's not easy to always have all of them.

 

[Mr. Aguia]

He played well against Newcastle away. Perhaps the reason he played so well then and yesterday is because Newcastle's defence is shocking. Nasri gets a lot of stick because he's a 24 mill player but rarely playes like it. How many great performances has he had for us the last 2 years? A hanful? Certainly less than 10. That's the problem. He needs to play well for stretches of games and against the top clubs. One good game in more than a month is hardly reason to spark his praises.

 

[Freestyler]

Useless out wide right or left.

Effective at his best inside in the middle, just like his assist for Silva.

Happy to be a passenger, but yesterday he decided to get involved.

One game doesn't justify how shit he has been, needs to do it more.

He's one of the most frustrating city players i've ever seen.

ahhh the know nowt apologists new favourite player

Far more likely to score ..yes..his passing as good as silva if not better def not I don't even have to explain why because its so obvious he's not just watching silva distribute the ball the last 3 seasons..but Nasri a better dribbler than silva??? Never never never...silva turns in any direction at the drop of dime he's like mr fuckin fantastic with the ball at his feet he's messi like Nasri couldn't play walk in his boots

 

[alky313]

He'd be miles more effective if we owned a winger. Honestly all of this talk of signing a forward makes no sense to me when our best solution would be actually dropping a forward for real width.
