Nasri still exudes class

The performance of Samir Nasri against Arsenal was highly promising. He needs more time to get match fitness after 18 month ban, but his class shone though and he looks hungry to play. Like all quality players Nasri seems to have time on the ball and was nicely unhurried in the way he calmly laid the ball off, most notably for Anderson's shot wide in the first half and then the winner from Declan Rice. It was hard on Robert Snodgrass to be dropped (and we certainly missed his corners as Anderson still can't taken them) but Nasri certainly gave the side something extra with his intricate passing. At 31 he's still got a few years left and whisper it quietly but West Ham might just have got a world-class player for nothing.
