Is there a bigger cheater in world football than Busquets ? Gets a light tap in his chin and falls down like he got shot in the face. I am amazed that refs fall for this crap still. But then again they are probably paid by the FA to make Barca look good. I mean you need to cheat to win against...

I follow Barca closely and am a huge Chelsea fan. Barca will win this easily. Because Chelsea is very good against sides that sit back (eg Athletico) and very bad against sides that press hard (eg Roma and City) Barca press a lot and Chelsea doesn't know how to handle it, as Chelsea's main...

His minutes this year would definitely have declined. Remember, he got a lot of minutes because he was playing as false 9 for a large part of the season when Messi was injured. He also played as an AM for a while when Iniesta was injured last year. This year, with Suarez in the side, his chances...

Ha ha ha. You do realize that Cesc did not even play in the 4-0 thrashing from Bayern. Also, Barcelona won the league when Cesc was there

This forum is just sad, when people just jump on whoever is having rough patch for the moment. Alexis, Pedro, Neymar, Valdes, Xavi and even Messi have been "sold" on this forum multiple times every year. Just a quick reminder, that Cesc has 16 assists and 13 goals this year. And this is pretty...

Lol, nailed it

Cesc as false 9 is a travesty, both for him and the fans. We both deserve better

Yeah, pretty bad game except for the assist, the goal, and setting up Neymar's assist.

I don't even know what "attacking without sacrificing fluidity" means. I think this is some fantasy you have were players play one touch football and suddenly they get a goal. The reality is defense packs 11 men in the box that results in players passing sideways and backwards. That's not...

Spot on

Flavia - Shouldn't Cesc have 4 assists. The two Pedro goals, the Xavi and the Alves goal as well ?

"I have no Cesc agenda", seems a lot like "I am not a racist, but.."

Have to admit Arbeola >> Alves. Not making useless runs down then sides, not providing useless crosses and one time I saw him covering for Alba on the left. Someone sent Alves tape of this game so he learn to play full back.

I don't understand the whole "doesn't fit into the system" discussion. If 30 goals and 30 assists in two season is "not fitting into the system", wonder how many goals and assists will he provide when he actually "fits" into the system. Btw, I believe Cesc is a very good fit for the system as he...

Nice video. Some of these passes are surreal. When he makes the through ball, notice the weight on the ball as well as the spin back so that it's in ideal position to strike. That's why he gets so many assists.
