Was the departure of Samir Nasri a smart move for Arsenal?
The English side Arsenal were in crises as Samir Nasri had to leave to join the Premier League side Manchester City. Arsenal were expecting to lose Cesc Fabregas anytime soon but the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Samir-Nasri-c32360 was definitely not welcomed by the North London
side.
The French coach Arsene Wenger played a gamble as he decided to leave Samir Nasri. Now, one of his favourite players on the pitch is going to be unavailable to. The French player has joined Manchester City and with the strong squad they have, Samir Nasri
is an extraordinary addition to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini’s side.
The attacking midfielder Cesc Fabregas left http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. However, Arsenal had enough back up to fill in for the Spaniard. On the other hand, with Samir Nasri gone, Arsenal had to find someone who could replace the diverse midfielder
and winger.
Samir Nasri has been an extraordinary player for Arsenal. The play maker has done a lot to help the team remain in the top 4. With Cesc Fabregas injured along with Robin Van Persie for a part of any season, it was definitely hard for the Gunners to cope
up but the Frenchman took the team side by side and helped them stay in the top four of the Premier League. Andrey Arshavin has been out of form as well and it has been Samir Nasri time and time again to help the North London team remain on top.
With Samir Nasri gone, Arsenal are now have to play Theo Walcott on the right wing. Andrey Arshavin cannot feature for a full game again even when he is in his full stride.
The only thing the Arsenal fans should fear at the moment is the fact that Arsene Wenger does not play a 4-4-2 with Robin Van Persie and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marouane-Chamakh-c24294 up front. The two can simply not work together and Arsene Wenger has tried the combo before and it has
never worked out.
Theo Walcott and Andrey Arshavin can play on the wings but the newly signed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gervinho-c14755 is relatively a better option than Arshavin.
Currently, Arsenal play 4-3-3 with Gervinho and Walcott on the flanks. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aaron-Ramsey-c3065 play in the midfield alongside Arteta.
Last season’s sensation, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jack-Wilshere-c17463 is out injured and he is going to stay injured for a while now. Arsenal will have to stick to their 4-3-3 formation and hope that no other midfielder gets injured.
Wenger does not have a lot of suitable replacements for Samir Nasri and Park Chu Young is not the type of player Arsenal can play as an attacking midfielder.
This season, Arsenal are lacking the firepower which they had last season. With Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri gone, Wenger does not have the players to produce magic in the midfield.
Currently, Arsenal are playing their favourite 4-3-3 formation but it is not really working out for them.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Walcott-c34873 is not the best of choices on the right while Gervinho gives the team the pace required but not the finishing.
With only Cesc Fabregas gone, Arsenal could easily cope up with the pressure. However, Nasri was far more crucial for the North London side and Wenger should have contained him in his team in order to stay in the top four. This season the task is going to
be quite difficult for the North London side.
