Fabregas not looking his usual self?

Did anyone else think that Cesc looked off the pace for most of the match yesterday? Maybe he isn't over his virus yet! Let's hope the Real Madrid tap up didn't put him off his stride. He didn't look right in the pre-season games either. Even so he still set up the Hleb goal with a beautiful lob. He may also be conserving his energy for the CL against Sparta. I hope he is OK for midweek. Any news on why Diaby was not on bench?

I think it was because he was along side Mathieu Flamini and not Gilberto and wasn't playing his usual role

He looked rather slow to me. Hopefully, he'll be alright for Prague and after that

Remember he was not available for the Ajax match due to a virus so he could still be below his peak or run down!

Probably the reason. Hopefully, he'll be back to his best soon

After the Fulham game he went a bit mental just after the huddle. I thought it showed real passion from the lad. Cesc will be grand lads

i think he is just a bit rusy, he missed alot of the pre season. just needs some match time and he will be fine.

but he set up the winner
