Arsenal boss Wenger pleased with Nasri central performance

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes he may've stumbled onto Samir Nasri's best position after last night's 1-0 win over Roma.

Rather than his usual position on the left of midfield, Nasri was played centrally by Wenger and impressed in the Gunners win.

"Nasri did very well in the central role, it suits him better in with Robin," said Wenger. "I wanted Van Persie to play closer to goal and to have Nasri in a more central position and it worked well. I was very pleased with Van Persie."
