He looked better briefly when he was on the threat of a suspension, he's always made the mistakes he has made this season, I have pointed this out occasionally the difference this season is Jurgen ditching the LCM controller role and thinking he can play with an attacking mid at LCM and RCM and leave Fab in a DM role in isolation on his own, when he has never been a DM and less legs around him
It was never a recipe for success, as Hendo demonstrated brilliantly in 19-20 you need the No6 in our set up to be positionally consistently brilliant and have the passing to release our forward and full backs and the athleticism to get around the pitch, Fab doesn't have any of those things, going back to Fab and persisting with him has always been like the foolish man building his house upon the sand
Hopefully this is Fab's last season for us and we bring in Manuel Ugarte who has all the attributes we need in a No6 in to replace him
