This sort of thing is nonsense. Did you watch him when played for us?
He was the main man here for the 6 months that he played his best football. He played with no fear and he was great. After that he went into hiding and always picked the safe pass. His entire City tenure has been the same bar one or two performances. For the most part he's afraid of making mistakes and hence hides or picks the safe option.
I think that's fair.
He can be very unambitious both on and off the ball (excluding the 6 month period of course), some people called that retaining possession or playing it safe, others called it cowardice.
Depends on how you viewed Nasri as a player really, which is subjective.
