That's weird. Because we've played our best this season when Fabregas has had outstanding games. Games where he fully controls the match is where we've been at our best. It's not his fault that our manager sets up the team in a way where his best skills aren't utilised.
This is absurd sorry. How does that prove the myth? He's not played a lot since Xmas, he's missed 1/3 of our games due to injury. Of course he's not going to be in top top form.
I can't even fault Jose much this season, my main gripe with him was how we used to play so cowardly against the lower sides and we've pretty much rectified that this season, we've been great against the smaller teams. This season it doesn't seem to be working against the bigger teams as well as it did last season but the results have not been disastrous exactly. I agree that we could work on our play in the final third against bigger sides but the evolution of the team is coming along very nicely IMO.
It's okay when we have one very proactive defender (Zouma) playing. JT's positional play is world class, he can act as a sweeper/cover. It's a problem when we have two defenders that cover (Cahill and Terry). JT is smart enough to accommodate the high line as long as he has the right partner.
This isn't true, sorry. Loads of people have massive short term memory here. Before his ban, Diego's link up and hold up play was excellent. He's just getting back into the swing of things, give him some time...
Where are those that where vehemtly arguing that he was misunderstood/misquoted and that he didn't say all those things over the summer? I still don't understand why people were defending him. He's got an awful mouth on him. So glad we got shot of him.
