Styles 9,790 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 It was definitely the Silva show featuring Iniesta. He is a good cog in a well oiled machine though, and that is what we should emulate.The Hazard show featuring _____ with Fabregas as a good cog in a machine.That's the issue though: Fabregas is supposed to be our play-maker and we are anything but a well-oiled machine.

termninja 5,290 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I do think almost all of you will agree that Cesc is a pure 4-3-3 player? Maybe we can have a quick patch with Ramires against Everton if Oscar isn't ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Ramires and Cesc are better 4-3-3 players than 4-2-3-1 players. Don't really understand why we switched back to 4-2-3-1 in big games after that convincing win.

iseah100 5,612 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Both he, Hazard and Willian do the same thing. They dribble forward a little look around then pass sideways. The club needs someone who is willing to make those killer passes. It's frustrating. yuvala 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club needs someone who is willing to make those killer passes. It's frustrating.That's what Cesc's game is usually about. He made so many killer passes last season, hence his 18 assists. He's just not in form at all this time around. pHaRaOn, Gilvorak, iseah100 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I hope his slow start means he wont do what he did last year. He had 15 assists until January, made so many key passes and chances per game but then after that he got 3 assists, made less key passes and less chances.. to be fair some of the finishing was horrible but even then still he dropped a bit. Slow start hopefully means he can prolong his form for a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow start hopefully means he can prolong his form for a bit longer.I never liked this either Cesc or 0 playmaking and creativity in midfield situation in the squad and constantly mentioned/complained about the lack of a proper replacement with similar qualities on the bench. He doesn't have to be as good as (an in form) Cesc but at least of offer a similar skillset.It's easy to forget since it's been so long btw, but Cesc was truly playing magical football at first.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y12a7ToUOuE The Skipper, OneMoSalah and manpe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,585 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 He will do alright. It was Ivan that had to be dropped. We should be alright with Mikel in the middle. But still I'm getting annoyed at Mourinho at how he tries to solve the "problem" at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still I'm getting annoyed at Mourinho at how he tries to solve the "problem" at times. Rahman wasn't even in the subs. He must be injured otherwise Jose would put him on the bench at least. Last time Baba was on the bench.Hoping Cesc can case some havoc, it will lift the whole team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroey 2,525 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 With Pedro in our line up, Cesc will love it to play #10. He can now play the through balls to both Diego and Pedro and mainly focus on attacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky 739 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Fuck his crosses are so dangerous, NOT. He just casually lofts them high with no pace and conviction.
