A lot of times he was the only midfielder in our box clearing the ball- if only we had Rammy for all that, and Fabregas can actually focus on helping us get a goal.

Agree but Oscar has been too good to drop, besides Rambo is terrible on the ball.

But Oscar does nothing vs (very) defensive teams time and time again. The only hope is if he can score a long shot, but that doesn't happen very often.

While Fabregas is one of the best flat track bullies around, so let him play higher up the pitch and do his job.

I'm not saying no, I'm just saying Oscar has been very important, but yes Fab is amazing in the attack, and should be played higher up against weaker opposition.

But against Sunderland, that was not the problem, both Oscar and Fab were playing high up the pitch, the problem was the lack of width as we have defensive fullbacks (well, a right back at left back and a centre back at right back)

153.6km - Not only is he the leading assist maker in the PL this season (10); Cesc Fabregas has also run further than anyone else. Engine.

Why I think I will be more worried if we lose Fabregas than Matic..

Cause no one comes close to Cesc's delivery from set pieces.

Ah yes, that, who will be our corner takers for entire match

Mikel can handle the coming game, he is not good going forward but can provide the same stability as Matic.

Cesc on the other hand has been our playmaker, dictates our whole game. He doesn't have a direct replacement, he will be missed very badly.

Wouldn't mind if he missed Hull but crucial at Newcastle away.

Credit to him, not only for his play but his attitude too. Not easy coming from where he has.

Thought he did fantastically well in defense yesterday. I haven't seen the numbers, but he made several crucial tackles and interceptions in midfield and at the edge of our box.

5/8 tackles, 0 interceptions, 2 clearances according to Opta.

Mikel can provide another body when a team parks the bus.......

Shows how reliable they are. I'm watching the rerun and I just saw Cesc make an interception in the 63rd minute!

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

Cesc has always been a great tackler of the ball, surprised so many people are surprised by that

He started out as a holding midfielder at Barca's youth academy.
