Pretty much agree with all of this. I like Nasri, and I think he's been better than Silva for at least the past 15 or 20 games, but you can't play them both together (especially away from home).
Tevez is a fantastic player but I think the team generally plays better without him. Picking a team is about finding a balance, not selecting your eleven 'best' players. I don't think it was any coincidence that we were at our best last season when he wasn't in the side. Yes, he gave us a massive lift towards the end of the season, but that was just a snapshot of the season at a time when we needed shaking up.
That 1-6 line up at Old Trafford!

So what you're saying is, at least for the way City play; Milner is better than Nasri x
