He's still a bottler in the big games, he can't seem to shake it off.. it's in his DNA.

Didn't he assist for the only goal we scored? He was heavily marked for most of the game, and we played without a traditional runner for him to pass to. What else was he supposed to do?

Mata assisted Drogba in the CL final, I prefer watching games to looking at stats tbf.

It's impossible to make any excuses for Fabregas after that perfomance. It's not only he was anonymous, but he was incredibly poor in possession as well. And the corner to Drogba, after many failed attempts, wasn't anything special. It was Drogba who had a great header. I expect more than just a single decent corner for 90 mins from him. He's 27 and supposed to be one of the more mature players out there.

If you watched the game, you probably saw how heavily marked he was. Drogba doesn't run and we didn't play Andre. He had no one to pass to. We scored thanks to his corner kick.

He was a bottler at Arsenal, Barca.. is he going to continue the trend over here. Everton, City and now United, all the big PL games thus far and he's gone missing.

We've always had players with the right mentality, Cesc never had it.

You have a selective memory. He wasn't great vs. Everton, but he assisted Costa with a through-ball. He was nothing special today, but he assisted vs. United. Against City we played too negatively, but he was good defensively and created the only moment we had besides the goal when Costa nearly scored. He assisted against Arsenal with a sublime through-ball. One sub-par game and it's suddenly a trend. This is silly.

Fabregas was good vs Everton though. And I thought he was solid against City. Not his fault the tactics against City were negative. Though I got some stick for saying so, others thought he was impressive against City.

He was poor today though. Fabregas doesn't have that ability to control the midfield, sadly, like a Modric or Kroos. Players who's contribution goes further than what stats provide. He's a different kind of player.
