Thought he played really well tonight

I'm not his biggest fan but who knows..perhaps he will be another to prove the doubters wrong

To be fair Goat he's received quite a lot of stick over those 5 minutes

He came here to win things, he's now realised he won't get it handed to him.

No great shakes tonight but a shift nonetheless.

What might have been a 'watershed' for Nasri's City career was that 50/50 challenge in the first half, where the 'Gooner' Nasri might have bottled out of it, but, tonight, not only did he stand his ground, but his opponent came off a bad second-best

I'm delighted for the lad, and a further two fingers to those spiteful Gooners who willed him to fail

I really like him. Just need goals

He worked hard tonight but he's yet to play like someone who gets in a Champion's Lg winning team, which of course is what we're aspiring to. Needs to improve 25% next season, if he's to be more than a squad player.

I think he's got it in his locker..remember that run of form he had at Arsenal?

He was practically unplayable

His performances have been steadily improving over the last month and a half and I thought tonight he played as well as I have seen him play in a City shirt. Don't think we will see the best of him til next season but the signs are encouraging

Yep, he's definately improving each game

Finite Finite Finite!!

Yeh, i think he's turned a corner and is finally knuckling down and putting in proper effort. Early on he wasnt battling enough, but he's certainly improving. Mancini also seemed a bit more appreciative as he came off.

Thought he put a good shift in tonight. Was a willing worker.

Acceptable. He's not exactly set the world alight since he's been here but one thing in his favour is he doesn't give the ball away very often

He needs to produce that kind of level more often if he's to be a first choice next season. I feel certain that Bob will bring in another attacking mid/wide player.

Think the main problem for him has been adapting to playin with silva who i playing the role he was utilized in at arsenal. He isnt the forst one people are lookin to ... That's silva abd yaya.

I may be wrong but i always thought nasri played better when ceac wasnt in the team. Could be an issue of needin to adapt to work better with the players we have.

I do think he has been working much harder and not playing poorly at all, just lacking the en product at this point

He actually took on a player tonight which was pleasing. He should do more of that.

What I was going to say. He's been very good lately but our forward play often slows down when he gets on the ball. Needs to be more assertive.
