Technically in the first half he did, not because he was anything special, but because Scunny sat deep and he was picking the passes to beat a crowded defense (which is his strength).

In that sense Cesc can still be an asset because we are going to have to deal with deep defense in the PL, starting with WBA on Wednesday.

Still far from man of the match material, and as I said, no better than his previous games where he was called flop of the season.

I can defiently understand his critics in the sense that he can let big games pass him by, he lacks athleticism, he struggles to cope with being pressed and despite great final balls to put players in his General play isn't the best, I'm talking in terms of recycling possesion and keeping play ticking over, he's not the most tactful in that regard.

But in games where opponents will park the jumbo jet like Scunny did and WBA probably will, he's still the first name on the teamsheet for me.

i doubt any PL team sans villa, sunderland would sit deep against us.

look at how bournemouth, watford, palace (at SB), soton all played. even newcastle. they all pressed cesc from the word go. i remember that palace game, cabaye owned cesc. i am sure all the teams with any quality would do that (which is present in PL). and cesc to become passenger match after match, which has already been happening.

The only did that because we were playing shit and they smelt blood, last season many teams sat back against us and if Guus finds a consistent pattern again they will start doing it again this time round.

i have to disagree. teams ARE and will continue to target cesc. why wont they?

he WILL lose possession when pressed. he is our only option to find a proper goal scoring oppurtunity specialy with the way hazard has been playing. why would teams sit deep and let cesc play thru them rather than nullifying our most potent (however shit that be) attacking option and infact turning it into a liability.

whats gus going to do? teach him how to keep possession? he played with the masters of keeping possession (xavi and iniesta) and learned NOTHING. as for finding a system. by the team he finds one, it would be time for him to go off again.

There's so much inconsistency in fan's opinion - I see Pedro is being hounded now.

That's the motion of the ocean though and says the players are terribly inconsistent. One week Cesc, next week Pedro, they deserve the rough ride when poor but also deserve praise when they turn it around.
