Popular Post! Barbara 15,149 Posted December 23, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted December 23, 2014 Thank you both!!!!!!!!! what he's done so far is no short than unthinkable and spectacular. He's been crucial to our position in the table and I'm sure he has more to add to what has already been instrumental for us, but if worst case scenario happens and he goes through a quiet period it doesn't diminish how amazing and vital he's been for the title, if it comes. There are no periods more important than others maybe except December and that's not to be top of the League at Christmas, but because there are way too many matches and it can take a toll on players. The second half of the season is as important as the first and we're about to finish the first half at the top of the. league much because of his ridiculously incredible mark of 12 assists in 17 matches. Maybe instead of demanding him to assist more, we should ask others to step up too. That's the only fair thing indeed. mediator, Daniel1980, dee25 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I don't think he'd have been this effective at Arsenal. Mourinho was smart enough to put him right in the middle of the park with Matic, knowing Wenger he would've put him in the number 10 role and have Ozil & Ramsey getting confused about everyone's positions lmao DH1988, Muzchap and Amblève. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 A bit unfair? You're being kind, it's madness that's what it is. "Anything less than 10 assists is unacceptable..." boy sit down. Just to put things in perspective: Cesc has 12 assists now in the PL.Our next assister - Oscar - has 5.Eden has 3.Willian has 1.And that's considering they're playing on more attacking positions. Demanding 10 more assists only from Fabregas is a bit unfair: we must demand the same from Oscar, Eden and Willian, then(especially from Willian - his productivity is incredibly poor for an AM). Though with Costa's losing his scoring boots it's getting harder to get assists, especially when you play a CM. The Costa from the beginning of the season would have converted Fabregas's through ball yesterday. Let's hope Diego finds his scoring boots soon. Fabregas must break Henry's assists record. No you both misunderstood me, I am in no way criticizing his contribution so far, I think it is amazing and even if he doesn't add any more goals or assists by the end of the season he can be seen as a success. What it will do however is continues that myth of him being a bottler and burn out by the 2nd half of the season and I don't want that.

He raised expectations too much and if he does any less in the second half, it will be considered poor, however unfair it is.He should have made a couple of assists in the first half of the season, like our AMs, and then no one could have said his form dips in the second.

Rom2013 446 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Fabregas is THE PLAYER in this team. Yesterday in a normal game (he was far from brilliant) he did 1 assist, scored one goal, had another great oportunity to score and did a perfect pass for Costa. Worked like hell and did other great passes.In another world when compared to almost any other player in this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Von Doom 258 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I thought Cesc did an amazing def job y/day as well. A few times I saw him tracking back and win the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Yeah, I get it. He raised expectations too much and if he does any less in the second half, it will be considered poor, however unfair it is.He should have made a couple of assists in the first half of the season, like our AMs, and then no one could have said his form dips in the second. Tbf he is one of the best around and with 10+ assists no matter what for him this season is a success, just like with Costa just a few mores and reaching 20 goals mean he will be a success even if he goes on a Torres style 20 games without a goal before the end of the season. What it won't do however if promote them to that 'top top top level' that people will go wow he is the best striker/midfielder in the world this year definitely. Think of Falcao 30+ goals a few years ago, Messi and Ronaldo yearly, Suarez last season...etc. They could have stopped at around 20-25 goals but by getting those 30+ numbers they are considered undisputed no1 by the end of that season and not just one of the best...I think he is capable of pushing himself to those levels, not a must but it would be good for him and us, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Sam Allardyce "I remember Jose punching the air at Soccer Aid while we were training before we played that game. I didn't know what it was until after, when he told me he had just clinched it [the signing of Fabregas]. That's how excited he was and what a big signing had finally come off. Jose had obviously met him before that and Cesc was pondering his decision as to whether to join Chelsea, so I could see how delighted he was to clinch that signing. They obviously had to do a lot of work, when you consider the affection he said he had for Arsenal, and they managed to overcome that. It's paid off for both. There are only a few players of that high a quality and calibre available on the market today and that was one they clinched, so he has done very, very well in assists and scored a couple of vital goals."
