Yea, KDB and Eriksen are probably better at that.. and overall ofc. 

But Cesc is still very good at it and surely is the best we have.

I know, it just doesn't happen very often... Pirlo, Xabi, Xavi, they've all kept their passing ability level until middle 30's, and Cesc is already on downward spiral. Or maybe he was always like that and we overrated him a bit? Don't know...

Dont think we overrated him.. I'm still not 100% convinced that his abillity is in a CONSTANT decrease though. Maybe its just a matter of form.. or maybe he's not as good as he was two years ago but his current level is going to stay the same for the next few years.

Love seeing Cescy on form. If hes got 2 other lads with him he can work wonders. If we had a replacement for Cahill on the Left like what Dave/Andreas are doing and kept Alonso/Moses in form that would give us 6 amazing passers to feed our top 3. give them the freedom to swap about like they do now (with a couple of upgrades) and we would make a proper run at whatever we did.

Should have started today. They forced us wide and there wasn't anyone tall enough to get on the crosses as we missed old rubber neck Morata. Cescy is a great tachticianer and we nreded to find routes thru them.

Nice article, but Cesc is very poor lately when he is playing.

I had a severe mancrush on him when he was at Highbury. I'd go to the cold north to see him if we was aay somewhere not worth going. He was amazing.

But tho hes never been the fastest or defensive minded hes holding the ball too long looking for that exact thru ball too long and hes getting robbed.

Hes still our most creative player IMHO and it hurts me to say it but its time to look for a upgrade.

Thing is that we have cried out for a proper good goal scoring B2B with a built in GPS and they are like rocking horse shit I would gladly sell ny soul to the devil to get a young Lamps!!

The problem with him right now is he relies on movement around him, the lack of it especially from Morata is horrendous. There is only so many times you will catch teams out with the same ball over the top time and time again. Moses last night, he kept trying to run on the outside of Maitlan-Niles and he simply wasn't quick enough.

Tbh Moses created our most dangerous situations yesterday, at least a few of his shots reached the post/goalkeeper/sidenetting. Crossing was poor as always of course.

Moses created most of the chances himself, shame he had no awareness and just kept putting his down when crossing it and it smashing into the first man.

Yeah without Willian/Pedro we depend on Drinkwater/Bakayoko runs and they stopped doing them some time ago

Is there any point of Fabregas these days? His performances this season have proven why Conte didn't trust him to begin with last season.

I think hes ok.

[Special Juan 27,419]

That's the problem, too may 'OK' players in this team

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

He's the only one in our midfield even remotely interested in passing the ball forwards.

Including Eden alot too.

But creative players are only as good as the players they cab get the ball to. If they dont shift their arses and find space then who can they pass it to seeing as we dint have abyone but Eden who can take the nall with him

Im relying on Rossy to change us which is a worry lol
