Cesc Fàbregas

[Special Juan 27,387]

Does him carrying the stretcher go down as another assist?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Arsenal fans must feel so fucking butthurt right now. That's 3 goals and 15 assists in 22 appearances.

It's okay they have Oz-, I mean Rams-, Walc-.. Er..

Connecting no.4 interviewed in latest Chelsea magazine

Fabregas’s partnership with Nemanja Matic has been a focal point of our strong start to the season, and is one of the key reasons for our rise to the top of the table, yet there are, he says, similar understandings throughout the team.

‘I think it has come naturally,’ the Spain international tells Chelsea in the main interview feature. ‘We all see football the same way as each other, but we don’t play the same way.

‘For example Eden sees football the same way as Oscar, as Willian, as Andre, as me, but we don’t play the same way. Eden is a dribbler – he sees the pass, he sees our intentions. Me, I’m not the quickest, but I like to pass the ball around and they move very well for me to pass them the ball.

‘Oscar is very intelligent in the way he plays the No. 10 role, how he moves, and he also likes to play one-twos, to come short, then go long, because he has good vision. Andre goes behind defenders very, very well and Willian is quick on his feet and technically very good. We all like the same style, but we have different qualities, and I think that’s why we all connect as well as we do.

‘For me and Nemanja, it is basically the same job,’ he continues. ‘The only difference is that, in certain moments of the game, I go a little further forward than him and he covers when I do.

‘I think the coach likes for both midfielders to give stability to the team and that we are always there to give a solution to the players when they have the ball. It’s an important position because you always need to be aware of what is happening around you both in terms of defending and attacking. Right now we are feeling solid in this aspect of the game.’

Oh, how I wish I lived in England

This cover for Chelsea Magazine edition is perf :wub:

[DH1988 1,258]

15? That seems incorrect to me? Thought it as more

[kellzfresh 7,228]

Fabregas 16th assist. Another from a setpiece. Stoke couldn't park the bus after that.

He and Matic are our master players. If costa gets his goalscoring form back, we'll be smashing teams like early in the season.

[zolayes 14,489]

ARSE didnt need him ,,, ROFLMAO

[OneMoSalah 8,753]

I mean Wenger has done some stupid shit before but he must be disappointed in his own judgement every time he sees this fella play for us. What a player. No offence to Frank but if Cesc stays here until hes done he will be held just as high in regard as him I feel. Might seem naive to say so but cmon its hard to say its not possible.

Lampard scored goals .. Cesc makes them ... they could have been magic together ,,, especially with Matic behind them

[dmode 113]

Terribly disappointed that Costa didn't convert that chance. That pass deserved a goal. Truly educational on link up play between a CF and #10

[Barbara 15,149]

Can't play as a #10 they said.

[zolayes 14,489]

Can't play as a #10 they said.

he can play where he wants ...... he can play where he wants he is FAB .. he can play where he wants ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, perhaps not in goal Courtois rules there

[DH1988 1,258]

Bitty performance from everyone but really showed he has established himself as a JOSE player, calm, collected, does what he's asked to do and more.

Still sometimes I look at him and its still weird to see him playing for Chelsea, I was unsure in the summer, like many but glad to admit I was way off the mark.

Some work to do in big games but happy if we can go Mikel/Matic behind Cesc to see if it improves us - what I mean is that our record was EXCEPTIONAL against big teams, why? Well, most of the time we didn't outplay them, we overpowered, bullied them.

Nice celebration.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

New year is coming, lets hope he banishes that 'bottler' tag once and for all. Anything less than another 10 assists by the end of the season would be unacceptable.

A Jose player?

I'm tired of hearing that to be honest.

Jose player means tracking back as one of the quality whether you are a striker or a CAM as Mata painfully found out...maybe not the best at it but YOU MUST ATTEMPT TO DO IT REGULARLY no matter how good you are. He forced it on every players he has managed(for the better of it) apart from Ronaldo.

It is an essential quality for top class footballers nowadays

Its what he needed to be and anyone needs to be at Chelsea FC - if not your out so credit to him.
