Some of yous are actually funny.
Pace aside (which he’s never had) he’s an exemplary defensive midfielder & still 1 of the very best in the world.
Both the games we’ve lost in the league came when he didn’t start…At Utd he came on when we were already 2 down and at Arsenal he came on when we already conceded 2 comical goals.
The problem with our midfield is that none of them can run, Fab is left alone in front of the back 4 with Trent, Thiago/Harvey and Hendo all caught well up the field (doing nothing) and then it becomes an unfair advantage.
