Cesc Fàbregas

He's a big liability in tight spaces...As long as he isn't expected to carry the midfield and instead play between the lines of the midfield and trident, he can play to his strengths

I can see a 3-4-3 with Cesc at CAM behind Villa (and Messi on the right) working. I think Tito should try something like it at some point next season (not as the main lineup though).

Yeah, if we don't see a return of the 3-4-3, not sure what the point of Cesc will be here at Barcelona...If I'm Thiago, I have to be pissed - which is what he looked like on the bench last night

Isn't Cesc the backup for Iniesta and Thiago the backup for Xavi? Different type of player. I doubt their playing time would conflict too much with each other.

And I can actually see the Cesc in midfield with Iniesta on LW thing working with an on-form Cesc. It worked well in the first half of the season.

I definitely don't want to see it again until next season though. Even then, I don't want to see it as the main lineup.

To be fair, Thiago was rather poor too last weekend?

I've read a statistic saying Messi is the most dispossessed player in the Barca team.

And sideways pass Denilson had a near 100% pass completion rate with us. You gamble with the ball whenever you bring it forward and try to do something with it. Dispossessed more, but when those dribbles/forward passes reach their destination, they tend to become goals and assists.

Pissed because despite failing to impress, Cesc continued to get minutes ahead of Thiago...A player who stayed at the club and understands how to play in this style better than the former Gunner

Would like to see similar minutes given to Thiago in Cesc's role and compare how they look

And how much impressive things has Thiago done this season? Or last season?

Come on, Thiago needs to get his head out of his ass and get both feet on the ground. He is just playing around sometimes... Cesc has done WAY more last two seasons, even if you incorporate the difference in time played. Thiago is just not as far as eveyone hoped he would be.

I want Cesc to leave. He's a WC player but he's not right for Barca. He'd be perfect for Man Utd.

It's not going to happen so forget about it. Maybe in a few years if it isn't working out for him but the club are not going to give up on him already after trying so hard to get him back.
