Cesc Fàbregas

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

One of the worst CM performances I've ever seen. Only topped off by his partner in crime Bakayoko.

Agreed. Worse I've seen from him, but I blame Conte tbh. You play in Italy against Roma and you start the game with Fabregas and Baka in midfield... just bizarre.

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Useless

[Alabama 1,992]

Looool...the moments when our board decides to extend his contract...u know we are plunging into the abyss of mediocrity...so fucking shit...

[Jase 43,479]

Honestly, what does Fabregas even provide these days? Could make excuses for his defensive flaws with his quality passing previously but even that has gone out of the window. Plays bad pass after bad pass unless the opposition plays like a bunch of headless chickens.

Problem with him is, even when you have him on the bench as a "squad player", everyone thinks "omg omg you has Cesc Fabregas the best passer playmaker famous Spaniard at your team dude, just use him smthimes, he is genius". Well, he is average. Been saying that for a long time.

I have a feeling that we could move on to another creative midfielder only after we offload him. So overrated that it's crazy. Even his passes aren't that good, not just now - always. He is not that Pirlo/Xabi/Xavi level and I don't think he ever was, especially not now.

He’s not a bad option off the bench tbh. I think that’s what we need to use him as - like Conte did last season.

Well, that's the thing. I think even Conte sees him for more than he is, considered everything. Conte didn't really look for his upgrade, for an upgrade for a creative part of our midfield. Don't need to say that the board probably thinks he is best creative midfielder in the world.

We were not in the talks for another creative midfielder since he arrived I think. Weren't really looking for another one, because we always counted on him.

Or because they wouldn't have managed to find another one anyway, I mean, we'd probably have ended up with Joe Allen.

Not magic anymore.

At this point, it feels like we're just clutching at straws. Maybe Fabregas is starting to go over the hill, if not already.

Why not? We don't even need to find another midfielder that is creative as some Fabregas-type player. Someone like Koke or Rakitić (don't know are those two in form, but that kind of player), that should be enough. But no, we have CF4.

You know what they say about magicians...frauds.

Harsh on Cesc but yeah, theres so much average about him and the worst is he managed to hide it for ages. Been saying that since his first year here. 

He offers nothing besides passing and even thats two great passes per game. No backbone, no character, no defensive work. As a central midfielder thats one big fucking liability. 

Its time for him to be benched or sold. 

[Special Juan 27,429]

It's time for him to take a seat on the bench and quickly.

Should be nowhere near the starting XI for a good while

[Mufassir08 2,400]

His general passing has gone to shit. Literally has become a liability on the ball now.
