Cesc Fàbregas

[Shakez 755]

I feel accomplished

This thread been quite for days, but better quite than the kind of busy it's been since the United match.

Cesc is going to be rested today, let's see if there's any impact in his game. And then off to the horrendous international break. I wish international breaks ceased to exist.

Cesc is playing though.

rested from not playing in the midweek

Another assist for him... the way he carried the ball and passed it to Oscar was pretty nice. There were 3-4 players surrounding him, but none could stop him from passing to Oscar.

I think all in all he had a good match, but he seems less incisive than in the beginning of the season. And now we have lovely international matches...

Not yet we don't. We've got Maribor and Liverpool to play next week

oh, Liverpool is before the break? I'll work on the Maribor game... but I thought Liverpool was after the break.

Well, good for us then

Also most assists in the league last year was 14 (Gerrard). Fabregas already has 9.

He'll easily surpass Gerrard. Costa getting back to form will ensure that.

Also most of Gerrard's assists were mainly all from set peices if not all of them.

It did. He was on 7 assists before the United game.

True. Most of Cesc's assists have been from open play but he should be looking to get a lot more from set pieces since we have such a big aerial threat. Like all our other AMs though his delivery is generally poor/average.

His has been mixed tbh. Some open play and set peices.

-Assist for Matic against Sporting Lison from free-kick.

-Assist for Diego Costa against Swansea for the header.

-Assist for Ivanovic against Burnley from corner.

-Assist for Drogba against United from corner.

So tbh his general delivery so far this season has been quite good if you consider the returns. He has managed a few assists through open play and assists.

Yeah. 4 of his 11 assists for us were from set pieces. 4 set piece assists in 13 games is quite good. Much better than any of our AMs managed last season. Though most of his assists are from open play, as expected.

That's actually quite a good return considering he's not exactly a set-piece specialist (a la Kroos/Koke) but I think it's expected given the number of players we have capable of scoring from headers and the number of corners we usually get. His delivery isn't great imo but it's better than the shocking Willian/Oscar/Hazard corners.
