No hate for Cesc. But he's been off form for a while and staying on bench tonight was better than he coming on with his current form and screw things for us and for his confidence. I believe this man is still gonna be vital in the coming stages if he regains his October-January form.

You can't deny that we are much much more fluid when we field the classic midfield of Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets, basically Cesc starting today would have meant him taking Iniesta's position, would he have been able to top Iniesta's performance today, no way? Cesc really has been poor of late, but Tito knows how to use him in certain scenarios.

It's funny how you all jump his bones after tonight's game, when he's really been one of the players who's had a lot to do with our outstanding La Liga season.
Anyways.... I agree with what's been said. Xavi and Iniesta should be the standard midfield, and Fabregas rotated with either of them. Xavi should not be playing as much as he is, so it's the perfect combination.

All that Cesc has done for Barça this season has been forgotten. Sad
He could have come on and done damage too, relax you need experience for stuff like this queue Xaviesta

Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.
Cesc has been GREAT for us this year and has shown his immense potential. He got injured, and has been slightly off form as of late (as has HALF of our team, including Xavi). That by no means makes him a flop or means that he does not have much to contribute to our success now and in the future (especially).
I will say that yes Cesc has not performed as well in big games. But I somewhat chalk this up to him not having as much experience in such high-pressure games as the rest. Xavi and Iniesta have won a world cup and 2 euro's between them as well as two champions leagues. Yes Cesc was on those Euro and World Cup teams and did play important roles in those competitions as well. However I still think overall Xavi and Iniesta are older and have much more big game experience than Fabregas, so it is expected that they perform better in the big time, especially while playing the Barcelona way.
I say give Cesc time, and stop jumping on him whenever he dips in form, accusing him of not fitting in and not being able to make it here. When Xavi retires and Cesc matures for a few more years he will be the fucking man, I'm telling you guys now.
Just a reminder of what he's done for us this season. Not saying that he would have been a better choice in today's game or that he should make our primary 11 now, but let's not get carried away with the ridiculous commentary and keep it positive about those who DID play tonight.
That said I DO agree with this:

and yes,he has been great and he is a young incredible player but the Iniesta-Busquets-Xavi is still the best midfield in the world (possibly of all time)
Cesc doesn't have enough pace to play on the wing and there is no way he'll displace Messi at false 9. His only option is to play as a CM, the problem is most of the time when he does that Iniesta is on the wing and that hurts him. Iniesta comes into his space rather than making runs behind the defense, so not only does he not give Cesc an option but he also doesn't stretch the pitch so Cesc has less time. He needs MVP or similar in front of him to really be at his best.

I hate these who's better than who discussions's. It's clear cut to say that Messi is better than Ronaldo, but saying Iniesta is better than Zidane or Suarez is better than Falcao etc is just far too difficult to conclude.
It's not "far to difficult", look I'll demonstrate; Iniesta is better than Zidane. That was easy

No Xavi Barça lose 2-1 to madrid it is not related with no Fabregas
When Fabregas start even Xavi is not enough Milan 2- Barcelona 0 Barcelona 1- Madrid 3
Thiago costs 0 milyon Euro, Fabregas costs 35 milyon Euro
So yes he deserves better. He deserves an Arsenal.
