Calm down. Picking out only 17/18 season to judge Cesc and forgetting 14/15 season where he bagged 19 assists enroute winning premier league is just being biased. Everyone knows that Cesc is an assist master. So his output in the attacking end cannot be questioned.

Your main problem with Cesc is his defensive liability. That is why I asked your opinion on Bruno.

Below is an unwanted record of Bruno. Could Bruno be the problem of Man Utd just like Cesc was our problem then?

This is just brain paining argument. Which part of Fernandes playing AM and Cesc playing DM do you not understand?

I will not carry defensive liability in my DM position so I don't understand your obtuse comparison saying because I would accomodate Fernandes in AM, I should accomodate Cesc in a DM position of the pitch. Nonsense!

Cesc was given many opportunities to play AM in order to remove his defensive liability from the pivot position but he failed as an AM, end of story

OK, Cesc produced 19 assists mostly in the first half of 14/15 season and became a liability thereafter. The next season what did he produce as we battled relegation. The season after that, he was benched as we won the league, and the following season he dropped only 4 assists as we failed to make UCL. The next season he was benched and shipped to Monaco where he was fighting relegation and mid-table as a starter, and now back on bench where he belongs. That is the story of Cesc, so stop foolishly harking back to 6 years ago to make an obtuse comparison between an AM and a DM.

Also this stat you picked is very off the mark. Being dribbled past is not the main stat that defines an escort. An escort does not even get to catch an opponent in order for an opponent to dribble them. An escort is always jogging 5 yards behind an opponent, never really confronting the opponent to be dribbled. Another frustrating and brain paining element of your post.

madrid5:
that was 4-2-3-1

4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, what he showed in all those 4-2-3-1 performances is he cannot be trusted with the ball in his own half, so you might as well extrapolate to how bad he would be in a 4-3-3

timbros:
And his defensive contribution?

Cesc was producing at the killer end of the pitch too.

Producing at what killer end, when Cesc was playing in the double pivot and causing goals against us? You can't eat your cake and have it. Cesc never succeeded nor played significantly as an AM with us. Cesc that produced 2 goals and 4 assists in EPL in 2017/18 when finally given starting shirt and spent all season escorting. Fernandes will produce that in just 5 games. Fernandes ko, Cesc ni.

Newsflash: Cesc has been back to bench duty the last 2 games since they afforded him a compassionate starting shirt against Nimes 3 weeks ago. Maybe he'll be back in the starting lineup when they face Nimes again.

What do you think about Bruno Fernandes as a midfielder in the modern game?

He is producing at the killer end of the pitch which means he is worth the tactical consideration to play him as an AM

madrid5:
he has not played many games in a 3-man midfield except Burnley and krasnodar, he's mostly on the flanks due to wingers getting injured and lampard not trusting hudson

What of Southampton game where he dashed them goal with sloppy play

BlueMann:
Atletico Chelsea

That's very bad news

madrid5:
havertz is not an ozil type player because unlike ozil he can play in 3-man midfield he did with kante and mount and was brilliant before he got covid and he hasn't recovered that spark,the blame of everyone game is mostly put on him because chelsea's wingers are injured.

Well so far, he is not doing very well in a 3 man midfield. With his dangerous play in that position, the only place for him may be in the hole behind the striker. He cannot continue such dangerous play in CM long-term.

I know you may say he played DM and CM at Leverkusen but this is not Bundesliga and he is no longer an academy player whose weaknesses can be overlooked.

Thanks

People complained Barkley is loose in possession and gives away the ball in dangerous areas. Kai Havertz is twice as bad.

He plays on the pitch with no thought of protecting the ball like he is playing monkey post. Compounded by the fact he is slow to close down opposition, jogging to the press nonchalantly when not in possession. Everything about his play is just wrong so far.

I am still hopeful, but I don't see how he could change his style or personality overnight. All that jogging business and trying to do risky toros in midfield is not for me. He is becoming a big problem of Ozil proportions. People may argue he can only play in the hole behind the striker but that formation is becoming redundant in modern football. We cannot just lose tactical stability to accommodate a player who has shown nothing to make us sacrifice our tactical stability for him.

Arsenal last 4 home games:

Arsenal 0-3 Aston villa
Arsenal 0-0 Leeds
Arsenal 1-2 Wolves
Arsenal 0-1 Burnley

Typical case of "I'm in my house come and beat me"

Timiofak:
That man just lies and lies and lies

He doesn't even check to see if his lies are reasonable

Just lie.

He is just an eediot. His lies won't even get past a 10 year olds level of common sense.

wirinet:
The one that shocked me most was "He broke the bank of England". I am still understand what that means. Did he physically break into the bank of England to steal billions of pounds or he hacked into the bank?
How come he did not break into the Bank of America. If he could break into the Bank of England, I am sure he would have also been able to break into the Bank of America.

Then how come the Bank of England didn't go after him to recover their billion of pounds back?

He's a financial illiterate. Soros black wednesday move is legendary. I have followed him on Financial blogs/news for a while but the way he keeps cropping up in right-wing Conspiracy theories the last few years, I said lemme check his personal and political profile only to find the man is a great humanist who has fought against Apartheid, Communism, Fascism and Authoritarianism with great gusto, much more than their right wing legends who are bedfellows with authoritarians. Soros is a bit loose with open immigration lobbying but you can't blame him as a citizen of the world, a Hungarian-Jew who grew up under Nazi regime as a child, then found his way to England at 17, and then became American citizen, his whole life is shaped by freedom of movement and he sees everyone in the world as humans. While this may not be practical in terms of countries controlling their borders, from a human standpoint, God will judge him well for that.

basilico:
George Soros is evil incarnate.During the Nazis he helped in confiscating Jewish properties in Nazi Budapest.
He broke the bank of England earning a B in a day.He broke the Bank of Thailand . He is a vulture,finances ruin of economies while betting against them.
If You think George Soros is a man to admire, mental assylum is too good for you.

If you trust wikipedia for reliability you have a problem.Dont remember who edited wikipedia pages a few weeks ago .George Soros finances leftist organization to achieve global domination.

Evil incarnate.Wanted in Russia. Maidan revolution was his idea too.

Nazis were defeated in 1945 when Soros was 14/15 years old. So he was confiscating properties at 14? It's like your whole existence on this earth is to regurgitate baseless and disgusting lies. You should donate your brain to charity. It serves no purpose in your skull.


Yes, he did short the Sterling in 1992 and made £1bln for it. He is a legend in Wall street because of it. It is called a Put Option and is a legitimate financial instrument.

PrideofLincoln1:
George Soros is good in my book but he's the boogey man of the right wing nuts in America because of his generosity to liberal causes and to minorities in America. That's why those hardcore racists and nazis hates him.

His experience as a Hungarian Jew under Nazi occupation taught him some humanist values and he backs it with his chest, even when it's his own people doing the oppressing

Spent my evening reading about George Soros and Steve Bannon

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Soros


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bannon


It is fair to say that any black man who does not admire George Soros is a complete fool, and any black man who joins hands with the ideas espoused by Steve Bannon and Trump is the same.

One is a highly intelligent humanist with a passion for people while the Steve Bannons (Shapiros, Milos, Papadopoulos) and most of Trump's friends on the far-right are grifters with unpalatable pasts

No difference between you and the FPL scout...
Setting your team based on stats and research and still not getting up to average points each GW...
My overall points is over 745+(last time i checked) and i'm ok with my team...
GL with your stats bro...

lol. It's early days. Most of the top players are still catching up cos a lot of newbies struck lucky with just Son, Kane and Vardy. What's your past history in the game like?

Zabiboy:

GW 9
Start Mings (1pts) bench dallas (5pts)
GW 10
Start Mings again (2pts) bench dallas (8pts)
GW 11
Start dallas (1pt) bench mings( game pp)
GW 12
Start dallas (1pt) bench mings (8pts)
Only good thing is that my total points is over 700....
At the end of the season, ibime would come and say FPL isn't Luck...
If you follow the FPL scout, you'll know that Its's 98% Luck 1% research and 1% history....
Anyways, We move

Well the skill is in knowing that Villa have kept clean sheet in every away game this season bar one, and conceded in every home game bar one. If you knew this you wouldn't be lamenting about luck.

Another lack of skill is keeping a £5m defender from Villa in your team this long when Konsa at £4.5m has more goal threat and the same £5m could have gotten you a way into Spurs and Chelsea defenders with more clean sheet and assist potential like James and Aurier

iamoyindamola:
First playoff
That was actually the first time I missed play off, last season was the second
I was once a semi finalist btw
Won the Carling cup before
That was why mukina promoted me to fa cup

We don't know nothing about Carling Cup over here.

Have you made Playoffs since your promotion?

You are like the Brighton of our league, making noise about what you did in lower league

iamoyindamola:
Still best you with a man down
Lmaooooooo

I already decided to throw away this gameweek with a 12 point hit. I feel remorse for 2 seasons ago when I beat you in GW 34 then threw the match against your rival in GW35 by taking hits to set my team up for the playoffs. That denied you your first ever playoff qualification. As someone who has made playoff every year for 9 years, bar one, made 5 finals and won 4, I figure this year is the year to show you some grace.

With your paltry overall points, yet still top of the H2H league, if I throw you this 3 points now, you just might be able to sneak into playoffs for the first time in your managerial career. Don't fück up this lead please. I'll meet you in playoffs where it will be business as usual.

Spanish Simeone is at it again. Well I'm not taking points hit to sell Gabriel this week. Next week he's gone

Vardy go lead to some massive falls this week for who no get am cos everybody else underperformed

sleekdot:
Anyone can be a City legend easily because they don't have a big or prolific reference point, Actually, anyone that was part of the 2012 league win is already 60% into being a City legend, including all those Zabaleta Joke Hart etc being part of the 100points team in addition to what he achieved earlier. cemented it for him

Pre Mourinho see the stats Mata was putting up? At that time he was outperforming Silva easily. Immediately Mourinho came, Mata became his scapegoat.

Mata played the same position as Silva, Matas first 2 seasons at Chelsea he dropped 17 league goals and 30 league assists. If we handpick Silvas best 2 seasons anywhere in his career, he never matched this

Ozil who was made obsolete by other managers had his best career under Mourinho. Mata has not been able to adapt to several managers in the modern game. Silva was already a legend playing as a left winger in a 4-4-2 under Mancini before adapting to an AM and CM under Pellegrini before even meeting Pep. Let the other redundant players answer for their own lack of adaptability to the modern game, Silva has cleared his name in every position he played. His attacking output before Pep is better than his attacking output after meeting Pep so you have no point.

swiz123:
What we lacked today was leadership at the back. Basically, Silva was missed. I find it funny when people call VVD a traffic warden without realizing that leadership and organisation at the back has to do with pointing defenders to man vital positions.


Lastly, Azpilicueta is no leader. If he can't attack like James and can't coordinate our backline, then he shouldn't be starting.

Nonsense. Fullbacks aren't in a principal position to organise defences, centrebacks do.

Kepa is beyond useless. I've just seen the 2nd and 3rd goal. At this point, someone should do us a favour and put a bullet in his head.


When you see Kepa alone in lineup, always expect calamity.

When you see a combination of two or more of the below players, expect calamity


Christensen
Rudiger
Alonso
Emerson
James
Jorginho


Somehow we managed to fit 3 calamities in the same line-up today.

Werner!
