Nasri bottled it

Post by Irish Gooner »

Wenger said post match, he was meant to take the penalty. He couldnt understand why he didnt.

Clearly bottled it under pressure. Have no time for the guy, whimp of the highest order.

why didn't Chamakah take it - i always think a striker should take penalties it's his fucking job to score the goals

and shit happens, better plays than Rosicky have missed penalties -

Nasri bottled a game away from home ?? :shock: Surely not :wink: :lol:

I know I am in the minority but I will not slate rosicky today.....yes it was a poor penalty but he linked the game very well when he was brought on and we certainly looked a better team with him on the ball. Tbh I was surprised that nasri started ahead of him :o

Agreed, apart from his woeful penalty. I thought Rosicky was one of our better players today; don't understand why he comes under such heavy criticism when the likes of Nasri and Arshavin put in many abject performances but seem to escape it. :?

Rosicky did quite well to be fair, but had no business taking the penalty. He wasn't the designated penalty taker and honestly I don't remember one he's taken certainly not in the last two or three years.

i dont know what to make of Rosicky at the moment. one thing that really pisses me off about him is he doesn't shoot anymore and why the fuck does he always do the outside of the foot thing!

Both Rosicky AND Nasri played very well today, particularly in the last 20 minutes...

Yeah I think Nasri played alright today actually. None of our team played particularly well.

If Nasri didn't want to take it then so what? He may of felt he would miss it so decided it would be better for the team if he didn't take it.

Nasri played very well today and is a very good player.

Grow up.
