Recently without Aguero we would have been in a bit of bother.
Can't really argue against any of the players analysis there.
Recently without Silva we look clueless, Nasri hasn't got going as yet because of injuries.
I am certain when Silva and Nasri get back into the side then we will improve ten fold.
can't see how you come to the conclusion Demichellis drop in form is down to playing with Mangala as they have only started 1 game together. Fernandinho really has not had a run of games to get up to speed like last season. The continuous rotation of the back 4 is causing a lot of instability in our defending which this season so far is nothing short of scandalous. Chelsea game aside.
---------------------Hart---------------
Zabaleta-----Kompany-----Demi-----Kolarov
-------------Toure---------Fernandihno-------
Milner--------------Silva-------------Nasri
---------------------Aguero----------------
This line up is one that i am looking forward to seeing again.
Sagna - Does not look like the same guy who has was solid for Arsenal for years.
Shocker that is... You don't think that he just joined you to shore up his pension fund by any chance?
Fair assesssment Vic though I think you've been a bit harsh on Navas.
Feel dirty saying it but....Zabaleta isn't just not at his 100% best, he's been poor so far this season.
I don't think Milner should start every game either, you can't question his attitude absolutely but there is a definite step change in quality when he plays compared to Nasri, particularly with our attacks. I've said it a few times, but Nasri and silva are both pivotal to the way we play.
The rest I pretty much agree with though.
Maybe a bit harsh on Navas i like the guy but i'm just struggling to see what he brings to the team at the moment.
He's doing plenty of running but there's never anyone there to pick up the end product (which has bee poor at times).
One of either Dzeko or Jovetic has to be shipped out at the end of the year with both an established and a younger striker with potential brought in.
Cant see Dzeko going anywhere since he signed a contract in the summer but Jovetic is highly rated in Italy and we turned down bids for him from Inter twice in the summer so him going is very possible.
Nothing's working for him ATM, he keeps either laying the ball off or passing to players who aren't there. If everyone else was on his wavelength then we'd be scoring 6 goals a game.
Jovetic is busy enough but am conistantly disappointed with his lack of an end product - be that finishing or a killer pass.
Fernando and Fernandinho certantly haven't been aided by Yaya's poor start in their own quests to find form.
Mangala has showed in the Chelsea game that he is capable, but cb is a pretty unforgiving position so time is the key here really.
Navas is a useful player to have in the squad, albeit not at his best right now.
