Former France coach Raymond Domenech has slammed Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri.

Domenech, who caused a massive shock when he axed the Manchester City midfielder from his 2010 World Cup squad, claimed Nasri is inconsistent, talks too much and is only interested in himself rather than the team.

In an interview with ex-France star Bixente Lizarazu on radio station RTL, Domenech said: "Nasri needs to talk less and play more. He needs to be focused on his work to show he can be a big player.

"For me, he has talent but is irregular and for a big club it's not positive.

"Nasri is always in discussions and is interested in excessive individualism. To triumph it's necessary to believe more in your team mates and the team."
