123-blue

There are a few things I have never doubted of Fabregas- He's a grade A cunt. He will bleat about his love for Arsenal in interviews. He will more often than not get it up against the lower ranked teams in the league. When he continously puts in flaccid displays against teams like Bournemouth I think one has to take a closer look at the tactics. The manager swaps the players around but the style remains. It's predictable and easy to suss out which could have a bearing on Fabregas' abysmal displays.

Had a stinker. Not sure if just not fit or not as capable as before with all the injuries he has been racking up taking their toll?

I had made my peace with this guy NEVER standing up in a big game but the dire and atrocious set piece taking was just inexcusable especially since it looked like our only way of getting on the score board.

Are you saying Didier would have converted for sure? Debatable. Lampard was right to take the pen. Imo Frank is more cold whereas Didier is the emotional one.The game was in the balance and the DESIGNATED PENALTY TAKER should take it. Club glory over personal one. Even Carlo came out saying the same- 'I spoke with him after the first half,' revealed Ancelotti. 'It was my decision, if there was a penalty, to give it to Lampard. I told him to stay calm and quiet because he'd have opportunities to score in the second half. I said: "Quiet. You can score in the second half." Drogba later said he was wrong to throw a fit on the pitch as well.I don't see what's the fuss about? As for being selfish- Almost all top players are.It's why they are at the top of the player pyramid. I could not care less as long as they perform when at the club.And let's not make Didier to be some mega team player. I remember him and Ballack embarrassing themselves on the pitch vs Man utd until Ricky had to step in and break it up. 5.55 in .Lol at Essien's reaction. Let's face it they're all a bunch of big babies. Also I agree Ballack was a better penalty taker but as you can see it's why Lampard was chosen as A)he was almost always on the pitch no matter the game and his club status could not be questioned. If not we'd have to witness those cringey scenes like the one above on a more regular basis.

In fact would be hilarious. The ex-Gooner overtakes the ex- Hammer in the Chelsea legend stakes.

There is no better coach than Jose to stamp out the 'Arsenalitis' that Fabregas seems to suffer from in big games however. Hopefully the eradication is complete before we get to the top dogs in the CL.

Woeful today. He's 27 and surely he should be able to put up better than that display.Playing him without additional defensive cover in away games is asking for trouble. He is not a midfield controller, more a flat track bully.

Not gonna repeat myself. You already know how you come across. Get help.

You' re welcome. What is it you are looking for here?A standing ovation? Nomination for sainthood? What/ You brought up the term 'Mikel hater'. Surely you see the irony. Thanks for the reminder. Seeing how he barely played last season I had quite forgotten.

Mikel haters? And what are you- A Mikel lover? Quite frankly you come across as someone who has his tongue stuck so far up Mikel's arse that surgical intervention looks to be the only option here.

Karma? What in fuck for? For buying a striker that can actually put the ball in the back of the net rather than continuing with the tradition of buying duds?

Stands to reason that the over the top praise would be cause it's something supporters had not witnessed before. Again why are the likes of Frank,DD,Ash not praised for something as vague as 'Mikel gave players an outlet'or some such jazz?

Appeal to the masses. IT MUST BE TRUE.Discussion closed.

'Decrediting' Mikel? So if one does not fawn and drool over Mikel's performance and says other players did just as well, it is talking down Mikel's performance? There there petal.

Right and here you go off on another tangent. Just start deflecting and hope people tire of your rambling. What am I twisting here exactly.? I simply asked what makes him the stand -out player in the CL. Did I say he played no part whatsoever?No. Did I question his involvement in any other trophy we have won at the club?NO. He had an 88%passing range. Did not keep the ball all that well now did he?
