The College Dropout Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Oh and Fabregas is another from the Gerrard play book. Running forward all willy-nilly no idea what to do defensively in a midfield 2. Penchant for the Hollywood ball too early. Main reason he didn't succeed in at Barca and was never considered to play as a CM regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgs Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 The problem is that as is being mentioned here, he is a luxury player. Except the level of luxury being talked about is a faltering alfa that gets you to the supermarket 1 time out of 10, the other 9 times you are ringing up roadside assistance.

Lush Vlad Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Stop comparing players that are nothing alike. If you think they are not alike in regard to lack of discipline in a crucial role then you are clueless. Fabregas is completely immobile, can't tackle and doesn't look to play Shelvey/Gerrard type passes, at all. But because he apparently lacks positional discipline. You compare him to Gerrard? It's as bad as the Ramsey, Charlie Adam, and Gerrard comparisons. Just quit now, whilst you're behind. Such a mongrel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Fabregas definitely tries to find the killer ball often. He's not always looking to switch play but he's going for the jugular a lot. He's not immobile, he finds plenty of time to vacate his position with rouge forward runs. He spent his final 2/3 years at Arsenal getting his game more like Gerrard's. More willing to break the lines as a CM with forward runs, no care for positional discipline or defensive tactics, a lot of focus on goals & assists rather than dictating play. Against better sides probably best used in a real midfield 3 or a #10. "Guardiola's comment about the "anarchy" that Fabregas brings to the side was a backhanded compliment -- he also pointed out that he needed to hold his runs more. Other Barca insiders pointed the finger at Fabregas when the team's form started to slip. He had become too "English" in his style of play, they believed, too eager to attack quickly." Back to Shelvey - so useless off the ball. Annoying pointing. Isn't even particularly good on the ball. Slow feet. Can barely move. Not sure he's any better than JC or VA.

Yorkie Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Waste of a signing and money, doesn't offer much but hollywood balls. Those three points at home to West Ham might be critical, like. Fucking garbage signing. When you think of the aid we needed in January - and we ended up with this guy, absent from arguably our best performance of the season.

madras Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Wouldn't be surprised if he started on Saturday given Rafas predeliction for changing things and Liverpools possible change of team, not exactly a high pressurising team so maybe a game for him ?

Astroblack Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 He's more of a number 10,just add him to the list of number 10s in the squad. He isn't, his long passing is his best attribute by a mile. He's not agile or skillful enough to be a number 10 Late to the the conversation but I agree with this. I feel that if you asked him where he'd prefer to play, he'd say #10 but he's obviously not good enough to play there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
last_monetarist Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 He'll be sold this summer regardless the outcome of this season. We can't afford to pay those wages in the Championship, and Rafa won't want him here if we stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
