Cesc Fàbregas

[Vapor]

I do agree that he has slowed down his form a bit the past 2-3 games, even before he played false 9 yesterday. Just slightly, and he's still getting assists too.

I hope he pulls out his best against Celtic, with Messi gone we'll need Fabregas's brilliance combining with Neymar up front.

Tata, Tito, Del Bosque and history show that you can trust Cesc at #9 at the top level. He put the game away with his assist yesterday. Just don't start him on the wing, and give him a free role.

I don't like him in the false 9 position but I don't judge him anymore when he plays there since I know he is miles better in another position.

This man is growing on me.

 

[Antimadridista1]

Yeah he looks more mature and smart. I really wish that he'll score goals tonight.

Well taken goal, but average for most of the match...

Dat header

Glad he got the winner but it also means more starts as a false no.9 which he simply isn't cut out for. The 20 minutes or so Neymar played there you could clearly see the difference.

It´s so obvious that he´s not cut out for that false 9 crap. Neymar on the middle without Messi.

Good performance nonetheless!

Cesc as false 9 is a travesty, both for him and the fans. We both deserve better

Even Tata conceded that Neymar is better as a false 9...Cesc played well tonight but the team looked much more dangerous when Neymar drifted into the center...Brilliant header from Fabregas

He's great at times as false 9 but he isn't big enough to win all the headers and isn't fast enough to keep up with our wingers.

He did? Good to hear that Tata isn't overly stubborn.

Great header by Cesc.

I don't like Cesc as a false 9 either but in this game Neymar only looked better than him up there because at that point when Cesc got subbed off Celtic were throwing men forward to try and equalize. Not sure he would have done as well in the first half when Celtic packed the middle. Even Messi has to drop way too deep or escape to the right wing against such opponents.
