The Declining players in the world of football – Part 2
Article continued from part one.
His only highlight was the winner he scored against Bolton in the last minute snatching a win. Apart from that, the Red’s fans had nothing coming from him to cheer about.
People are saying that he needs some time to regain his form. But with little playing time and a rapidly rebuilding http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 squad, there is little doubt that he will be offloaded in the coming transfer market.
Much speculation has been surrounding the fate of Cesc Fabregas regarding his future. The biggest transfer saga of last summer is all set to continue into the current year. The Spaniard has been a shadow of his former self. Be it due to lack of commitment
to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 or through injuries, he has failed to reproduce the form which made his one of the best attacking mid-fielders in the world.
Fabregas is a quality athlete and there is no uncertainty regarding it. At such a young age, he has played in various top level competitions. His through balls cut defences in half and his skill on the ball is phenomenal, not to forget the incisive passing
that he displays day in day out.
Certainly he has not underperformed this year but he has failed to produce the goods from earlier seasons. He has only 25 Premier League appearances to his credit compared to 32 of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jack-Wilshere-c17463 who is only 19-years-old. His goal tally has reduced to a miserly
three this season.
We can only wait and see what the summer transfer window pans out for us in terms of this young Spaniard. But whatever the case, we all hope he regains his form sooner than later.

Judging his performances throughout this campaign, his name on this list was an absolute certainty. As the season progressed, his form dipped deeper and deeper until it was his turn to spend time on the subs bench.
His quality is profound and so are his natural goal scoring abilities. A player of his ability should be banging in 20 plus goals every season. This season, the brilliance has been missing and the ex-Liverpool star has been in a slump.
This season he has netted only 10 times which is nine goals shy of his lowest ever of 19 goals in a single season.
At 27, he should be peaking in his form and ability but the “El Nino” is nowhere near his best. His 14 game goal drought in a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 shirt has significantly dented his confidence and has seen him now occupy a position on the Blues’ bench.
There is not a shroud of doubt that he will regain his former touch and when that time comes, the defenders will have to be on their toes because this one man can take defences apart.
These in my view were the players who had seen a steep dip in their performance. But given a full pre-season, I’m sure they will be back all guns blazing.
