🇪🇸 Cesc Fàbregas

Perfect example today of why Conte is a top manager. Many including me were questioning why Cesc was starting in a midfield 2 in what was supposed to be a very tough game. To us, the sensible thing would've been to start Bakayoko and bring on Cesc later of needed. Conte obviously knew that Cesc would be key in this match and he indeed dominated the first half.

Can't wait to see a 3 of Cesc/Kante/Baka at some point. Hopefully soon!

I truly worry for Fabregas this season.

We all know Fabregas has to be carefully managed and having already started 4 straight games this year I fear Conte might (have to) start him for all 3 games this week. Stoke. Atletico, Man City. And if he does play all 3 matches, I fear he won't be as dominant as he can be. 

Basically, CFC need to get back to a place where Conte believes he can field a starting XI that can soundly beat teams without Fabregas' involvement. The Drinkwater/Bakayoko injuries are really hurting us big time imo.  

I love Fabregas, but like the match against Arsenal, we've seen how exposed the team is when he plays CM in tough games. The way Fabregas was used last season was perfect, because he became a more important cog in the team as the season progressed instead of an undisputed Starting XI mainstay from August.

Conte probably read your post.

Bakayoko/Kante/Fabregas/Hazard/Morata needed.

HAHAHA I mean it was the worst kept secret in football almost but won't stop being funny :lol:. Arsenal finally beaten after Invincible and then Fergie getting caught up in Pizzagate.

As a neutral, let alone a Chelsea fan, you've gotta enjoy that.

This lad has been getting away with murder recently with his performances. He's been one of our worst players in the series of poor performances we've had. 
In the team to create & he isn't even doing that. Missed a sitter to boot yesterday but luckily, it didn't matter.

A lot of guys said that he would be great in that "Pirlo role". Pirlo role or not, most of the times this season he played with 2 physical midfielders alongside him, Kante and Bakayoko. And yes, that didn't work out, we weren't dominant enough in any game besides Atletico.

Been saying that for a long time - he is not good enough for our starting XI; in either formation. His only attribute is one or two brilliant long passes per game. Other than that, he brings almost nothing.

At this point, it's tiring to even moan about Fabregas' obvious flaws. He'll never be able to improve or change them. What I would say though is that his shooting ability is so annoying. Every time he takes a shot, it's always about technique rather than power or a mixed between both. There have been times when he needed to use the latter to score but instead, chose to use the former and ended up seeing the chance wasted, like the one against Watford. :doh:
