i dont like his performances in big games, he never shows up like xavi and iniesta did, when space is tight he is useless imo. against getafe etc. his throughballs might be good but that space you wont get in cl knockout. he hasnt the ability to make fast AND right decisions. he looks too clumsy when he recieves the ball, iniesta busi and xavi just know the next 3-4 steps that will happen, cesc looks like he has to think too long. plus hiq tecnique isnt the best, hes not fast and his dribbling is average.
