The last 10 minutes of the game said the story. A lot of players played high up the pitch. Defense did one thing - collect the Newcastle clearance and hand it over to fabregas. And he pulled the strings brilliantly. We created more threats than we did in the first 80 minutes. Fabregas is the right person for the job, playing a wrong role at this point of time. As much as we love Oscar, we need to take him out and play a 4-3-3 with ramires/mikel and matic protecting fabregas in the midfield 3. Hazard, Costa, Pedro/willian are more than enough to pose an attacking threat to the opposition. Bran has to go. Azpi at right back and baba at left back. Cahill/Zouma combination works.
