last season he was great before the thuggery....

the best thing about him today were his boots.

cheers

lol two games back from injury, Derby win and we get a Nasri out thread.

Scored a cracker in the final game of last season. Capped off a great season in my opinion.

agreed.

only just came out of injury so I'll give him time. (But it has looked like he lost yard of pace with the latest injury.worrying)

Let's just shoot him, and clichy yaya, MDM, navas, vinny Pablo, plus the countless other getting silly stick

Way short of match fitness at present.Hopefully with a couple of more games under his belt he will look sharper and find some form again.He could at least be afforded a couple of weeks back before he's getting slated for under performing.

Fernando is still a yard slower than he was prior to his injury. Could be some weeks til Nasri reaches full pace.

Will always be a soft lad

With two Prem Lge winners medals though.

He'll be fine. Apparently after a 6 week injury you are supposed to come back at full speed? "shakes head"

what about for 20 mins against 10 men?
he's a weak link. like dzeko. when the pair of them came on it was 10 vs 10

Agree but that doesn't stop him being a fantastic footballer, when he's on form.

Can I ask, did you actually watch Nasri play last season?

This year he's tried to play with an injury, couldn't so had the op and is now coming back. It takes time but you want to crucify him for some reason. I give up.

This is a mental thread, day after a Derby win, Today is a chilled day, If we had lost to that bag o shite, I dread to think wtf it would be like.

been here over 3 years and has only looked good for 6 months if that. I'd take milner on the pitch any time over this french frog.

Reported.

I don't think we've ever really found nasri's most effective position and I wonder if we have the right personnel to even take advantage of it. I always thought he should be played through the middle ... but not over silva or yaya. He can't take milner's spot if we're looking for all action players who put themselves about ... unless milner's on the wing. I don't truly think he's effective out there, if anything i'd want him to be on the left so he can be cutting onto his right, I guess. He certainly can't take fernando / fernandinho's spot.

I dunno. He has the skills to succeed. I've seen him make some great passes and score some great goals, I think he's a talented player. I don't know that he's the right fit for where our team is going, or that we even play him in the right position to get the best out of him.

I think he might move on soon, when he does i'll think it's a shame we didn't get the best out of him and wish him well. He didn't set the world alight for us, but he gave us some happy moments.

I don't think he was poor in the derby, found aguero with a great cutback that was unfortunately blocked by carrick, and worked hard.

if he stays with us, I see him as good backup in the silva / yaya equation.

For a brief period last season before Newcastle did him in he'd found his niche in our team. He was the player that made his name at Arsenal - the one capable of dribbling past 2/3 challenges at pace, and often. He was more direct, ran at people, played one-twos and got in behind defences and scored.

That's Nasri at his best - he needs to learn he's that and that he's not Yaya or Silva. He all too often falls into the trap of thinking he can slow the game down and dictate play like they can and he just isn't as good as them at it. He is, id argue, a more natural dribbler and probably a better finisher (he's a fucking great finisher - the best hope of any of our players in a one on one outside Aguero imo) and when he plays like that he becomes an outlet for Yaya and Silva's creativity and he compliments their game more. At his worst he's a slightly sub par Silva. He doesn't suit playing at that pace, as he needs to be faster and more incisive. If he gets like that again then he'll go back to being one of our best players again which he threatened to be before getting done in.
