Cesc Fàbregas

[barcanuck]

Difference is Messi only gets like that when it's a Madrid team and the refs clearly do stupid shit. Cesc gets like that every game against every team just watch.

useless as a false 9 / cf against top teams.

 

[evilhita666]

Not got shit on him, as he tried hard and has helpful keeping possession... But yeah, that false 9 thing has to stop...

 

[Dan1983]

I seriously hate him as a false 9.

 

[KingMessi]

I wouldn't say he played false nine.

We played more of a 4-4-2 diamond, with Cesc as the trequartista.

 

[DinhoR10]

Tbh his contribution was minute if we had a real nine then it would have been better to play him there since iniesta and xavi took care of the playmaking today

 

[Jaykob]

Why did he play today? I have no idea, did nothing but force messi to the wing were he was not as involved as in the middle.

I wouldn't say he played false nine.

We played more of a 4-4-2 diamond, with Cesc as the trequartista.

I agree with you, it was this way in the first half, but in the second he dropped too deep.

 

[abual3bed1]

He played because Tata wanted more muscles between Madrid's 3 DMs. I think he did well.

 

[te amo barca]

He was good at link-up play indeed but still lost too many balls.

 

[jamrock]

it was a clasico he had to start because he tends to get down when he doesn't start these types of games.

 

[neo_wolf]

He wasn't bad but Tata really should have put Messi at CF, Fabregas was more of a workhorse today, putting in high pressure but thats not whyat we need up there.
