Cesc Fàbregas

He really is making our team tick once again. Massive turnaround since the turn of the year

I disagree on him definitely playing 3-5-2. He doesn't force tactics on players. Based on history, he finds the best tactics for the talent he has. 

We don't have much talent for any formation so Conte will have to buy players for his preferred style of play.

Hopefully there'll be a lot of changes.

P.S. His goal doesn't count as a pass.

He really has turned a corner this season. Hopefully he can have a brilliant "WHOLE" season next time around.

We can always take up the permanent signing options of the Falcao and Patodeals and go for the ol' 4-4-Flop 

 

PS: @manpe wasn't it you who came up with that during the Torres era?

We have got some gaps but we certainly have the quality for Conte to work with.

Centre back, fullback, strong centre midfielder,possibly a couple of depth signings and were away.

Haha Right. TC gold, right there

It is always funny that whenever he came on as substitute suddenly we are always playing much better football.

He is the only player in our team that can really pass the ball and know how to orchestrate an attack. 

BUT

whenever he came on, in almost all the games that I watched this season we always concede a goal straightaway.

Someone needs to force Cesc, Obi and Matic to watch Motta's performance at least 20 times over. Midfield masterclass. I like Cesc but to build a team around him? Give me a break. He's too limited. You compare him to Verratti and it's not even fair anymore.

Cesc playing a 2-man pivot was doomed to fail from day one. It was never a sustainable solution. He was a nice football brain, but he's laughable from an athletic perspective. Continuously bossed, bounced and abused by competent CL level midfield's. He's lucky Veratti didn't play today to embarrass him further.

Fabregas just not good enough, man. Nice technique but that's not enough at the top level against elite opposition.

We should cash in now while we still can. China?

We need to sell different players first imo. Cesc isn't one of our biggest problems.

He is a problem all the same. Biggest or smallest makes no difference. We need to get rid and we should do so while he has value.

I really don't think he has much value though. I'd rather give him a chance under Conte to see what he can do.

He's a problem next season only if we continue to play him in a two man midfield. He just can't play there against decent or better sides as he's so immobile. If we use him in a 4-3-3 with the proper players around him doing the leg work whilst allowing him to do what he does best then he's one of our best players.

I hope to see him in our shirt next season.

This is why I don't him here. You can't be a top player if you need several babysitters.

Fabregas is the embodiment of what's wrong with our team. A supposedly top player that has so many flaws that his reputation far exceeds his actual ability and contribution.

It used to be Oscar but the general consensus now is that he's shit.
