I do not understand why some of you hate him. He can be the key of our play and he makes excellent passes! IMO it depens on where he plays. I admit that he is worthless in the offense but in the midfield on Xavi's position, he can be a weapon..he is a weapon.
I don't think anyone feels Cesc isn't quality, or doesn't have some great moments (as in the video). It's about his fit with Barça style and teammates the 98% of the time he isn't making the highlight reel. He doesn't click as well, seems to think slower, goes direct when he should play safe, plays safe when he should go direct, gives up the ball more often, and his first touch lets him down more than the other midfielders. Like English Standard vs Metric: can kinda fit, not not exactly.
