The game was different during the era before Cesc. Teams started to park the bus more, played a 5 man midfield with one striker up front and that shifted things. We dominated possession and we're playing in the opponents half for long periods so we hardly saw the counter attacks the previous era used to pull off all the time. I think it was wrong to say it was Cesc slowing us down when he's a split second type of player. One touch and a player's through on goal.
