NASRI MAKES ME MAD

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini admits Samir Nasri's inconsistency makes him wish he could 'punch' the Frenchman.

Nasri's ability has never been in doubt, with City having splashed out £24million to secure his services from Arsenal in 2011.
He impressed during his debut season at the Etihad Stadium, as he helped to land the Premier League title, but has been criticised at times this term for an apparent lack of effort.
Nasri was, however, back to his best during a crushing 4-0 victory over Newcastle United on Saturday and Mancini is confused as to why the 25-year-old cannot perform to those levels on a more regular basis.

He said: "I would like to give him a punch, because a player like him should play like this always.
"Every game. Maybe one game sometimes he can play badly.
"I don't understand what was different. I can't understand how a player with his quality doesn't play like this every game.
   Nasri who was once a fan favourite at Arsenal, when he would dance his way through opponents defence and did a lot of magical stunt with the ball.
Nasri endeared himself with the North London club fans after he scored two classy goals against London rivals Fulham.
Arsenal fans were sad to see him go, when he Left to Join Manchester City. Nasri then made matters Worst he made a statement targeted to Arsenal saying "Arsenal can keep on playing good Football while I stay here in City Winning trophies".

I guess no one will be more happy than the Arsenal fans to see their former star fumble at City, while Roberto Manicini is left moaning over the form of his French player who was once called the next Zidane.
