Arsenal's Fabregas better than Liverpool's Gerrard? You'd better believe it!

I'm an Arsenal fan and I'll believe it when Fab helps us win the CL.

Dont think he is better than gerrard yet may at the same age around 27 he will then, but i think gerrard is the best around along with kaka.........plus Fab's not done anythin on the big stage

Im an arsenal fan but Cesc is not as good as Gerrard is. He is better than Stevie was at 20 but he is not better than the Liverpool man currently is. I have no doubt though that he will be better than Gerrard sooner or later.

Gerrard and Fabregas are both with different quality. i prefer Gerrard, no offence to Fabregas.

Do you never get tired of writing this bias tripe? Honestly 5-10 good games doesn't make a player better than someone who has done it for 8 seasons now. Seriously get some fucking sense.

joker! fab havin good season, but can he head, tackle and hit a rasper from 30 yards. Oh and single handedly win big games. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO maybe in a few years eh!

Better than Stevie G? will you still be claiming this crap when he plays for Barca?

iam a arsenal fan i would not swap fabregas for anyone. fabregas is the best playes in the world arsenal to do the trebel

[quote]joker! fab havin good season, but can he head, tackle and hit a rasper from 30 yards. Oh and single handedly win big games.[/quote] he can control a game better than Gerrard or any other English midfielder can though. I agree he's better than Gerrard who let's face it is having a poor season so far, at the moment he's not even the best midfielder at his club. disagree about Cesc being the hottest prospect on the planet though, for one he isn't really a prospect anymore, and if you are going by age then never heard of Leo Messi?

Fab is a good player but you have to remember that he is only 20 and Stevie G has been doing it for a long time. I don't think there can be any question about his potential but he isn't in the same class as Stevie yet!

He's good but Gerrard has done it in CL and FA Cup finals... Fabregas needs to score 15 goals this season before you can start writing articles like that.

What the hell is with this site? They just want to make Gooners fighting with other club's fans. No one can question what Gerrard has done in his career. Fabregas has got the potential to be a great player but you should remember he's just at the start of his career. But I think the ability of Fabregas to control the game is better than Gerrard. But still noone can question gerrard's ability to bring magic out of nothing.

He is no doubt quality, but he is not as good as Stevie...yet. And i say yet cos I honestly beleive he will be at his age. This season he has been the best player in the league, but its only 10 games. He didn't have a great season last season, I beleive his spanish counterpart Alonso had a better season. But the boy is no doubt absolute quality.

This sort of drivel does the more mature Arsenal supporter no favours at all. Stevie G has done it at the top level for years, as much as I think Cesc could go down as an all time great, he is not there yet. Apologies to Liverpool fans for this moronic rant, which ranks amongst the "my dad can beat up your dad" type of arguments!

its true - laugh if u want but cesc is much better than gerrard - already 6 goals this season

fabregas may be better interms of offensive qualities, but gerrard doe snot lose out much too. moreover cesc does not have any defensive qualities like gerrard do.moreover, gerrard is a complete midfielder and hence contributes more aspect to the game. and do u noe he can play centre back and right back.however cesc has the potential to be one of the best in the world. so to conclude , we cant say hu is better then who but its all down to what kind of play each of them contribute to.

maybe in the first 10 games of this season you can say cesc fabregas has been playing better than steven gerrard but to say he is an overall better player, just shows how little you know about football! p.s. and im an everton fan

So when was the last time you saw Fabregas put in a bone crunching last ditch challenge to stop his team conceding, to help protect the back four or simply to stop one of the opposition's midfielders from straying too far into his half? Er......never, that's when. Never has the phrase 'not fit to lace Gerrard's boots' been so apt.

Well its obviously more than 5-10 games. He's been quality since 17. So more like 100-120 games, but close. I think Cesc is very close to Stevie. Every criticism ive read of cesc in these comments simply arent true. He does have defensive qualities and i rlly cant remember him putting a foot wrong in an arsenal game for a long time. Ppl, me included, arent ready to say he's better but i cant think of a reason why.

At the age of 20 nobody really knew about gerrard as we do about fabregas at 20, but to say that fabregas is better gerrard is not wise at this moment maybe but in the last 5years gerrard has been a talisman and driving force behind liverpool succeses. Fabregas is great player but compare the two when cesc is 27. The only medal cesc has is an fa cup medal while gerard has quite a few. I am an arsenal fan, imagine gerard with cesc in our midfield.

Obviously you don't remember Gerrard at 20 when he was dominating games against Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira and being the main man at Liverpool winning countless trophies at home and in Europe. At 20 years old he was scoring 12 goals a season from midfield. Gerrard can also play equally well at right midfield, can cross brilliantly, and can even play superb at right back. Cesc is a superb player but he is no way as good as Gerrard yet - there is nothing Cesc can di that Gerrard can't but Gerrard can tackle, shoot, cross and defend better than Cesc not to mention the fact that he is much faster. Maybe they are two different types of player and maybe Cesc should be compared with the likes of Iniesta instead?
