i saw him snap into a few challenges and generally be present all over the midfield. two superbly timed runs into the box gave him two chances - one high and wide and one he should have buried low in the corner - and he released sterling down the left for nacho's goal.
i also agree that he is tidy with the ball at feet but perhaps not up to speed in terms of using it well (then again we didnt buy him to be another Ya Ya!). I think this will improve over the season as he plays & trains more.
i think we got a bargain here.
I fully agree on both your last two sentences.
Fabian has had to bide his time while recovering from his injuries, but he now seems to be coming into his own. He gives the team high energy in midfield and appears to compliment Dinho well.
He's still building his fitness levels and I'm sure he will improve a lot as he gets more time on the pitch. At 26, Fab is now coming into his prime and at £8 million, he will hopefully prove to be a snip.
