Samir Nasri

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Only seems to turn it on when the pressure is off and nothing to play for.

That is a fallacy. He played incredibly well during last season's end of season must win games against Chelsea and United.

Sorry but you are incorrect.Last season he did ok against Chelsea and Spurs at home.
This season I can count on one hand the good games he has had.Way to inconsistent.

His best games the title winning season were Chelsea home, he ran the show from start to finish and scored a sublime goal, against spuds he had 4 assists and a superb goal scored or was you talking about this season? If so he was brilliant at OT!!!

He has had an inconsistent season, no doubt, but if you break it down, it can be attributed to a loss of confidence stemming from the United game earlier on in the season, not to mention countless injuries meaning a stop start season that only seemed to gather pace around the end of March.

 

[Blue Haze]

Can't figure him out. He can only play well against London clubs. How is this possible?

 

[syedorf]

he's cracking on his day last season for me he was poor but when you factor in the euro incident with the reporter losing 2 uncles the united incident his frame of mind wouldn't be right he played better towards the end of the season and he will be cracking again next year if he gets a decent run in the team and attacks people instead of the crabbing

I'm no Nasri fan, but I thought he played some of his best football for us in the last couple of months of this season.

His problem is consistency though, and if he can improve that under the new manager, maybe he will be a good contributor to the team in the long term, he certainly has the footballing ability, its his mental capacity I have my doubts over.

 

[City_Sean]

hes soo good at finishing he could be a striker, consistency is his problem, and his mentality,

 

[Nelly's Left Foot]

Samir isn't alone this season in not being at his best consistently.We could probably say that about almost every player with Zaba the stand out exception. Exactly what that's down to we probably will never know for sure but part of it has to be down to the manager.We have struggled for consistency as a team and players have done the same.

It's not been all bad for Samir though has it as he was voted player of the month a short time ago.At his best he is a very high quality player without a doubt and now we need a manager to get the best out of both individuals and the team and we will be serious competitors for all competitions.

 

[bing city]

hasn't been given enough freedom this year he looks like hes always forced quite wide only allowing 2 simple passes, either down the wing to clichy or back inside to tevez or yaya, just like silva, they both need to be more central allowing them to use their full ability

 

[coulsonblue]

I think it's harder to play well when you are more heavily criticised for making mistakes.
He is the fans biggest target. I remember the Norwich game, Tevez took far too many touches (surprise, surprise) and basically lost us the opportunity on the attack. He passed to Nasri who was then abused for taking a few touches.

When it looks by way of spatial illusion that the ball is 50/50 between him and another player, he gets called a "tart" etc... for not challenging.

A lot is to do with *that* wall. Show me a player who has never turned his back on a shot and I'll be very surprised.

Gareth Barry, people's favourite "unsung hero" (translated into English = not very good), regularly turns his back on shots.
