He cant handle the league in defensive sense. And our strenght comes from defensive stability. I do agree he could play games like hull, but overall despite how useful he is in creating chances, there is no way he can play in double pivot. Maybe in 3 man midfield, yes, but then Pedro must come off and we lose speed and his high pressing.

And Cesc didnt lose spot instantly. Last year he was dreadful (most were), in summer Conte decided he doesnt suit the system and he benched himi. I have full trust in Conte when he picks the players based on his system and not by name or who and how they played before...so far, Conte used Cesc brilliantly. We have defensive stability, but he brings him in games where we need something extra and so far its paying off.

What I dont get, we are first in league by nice difference, Matic for all his flaws is absolutely brilliant in defense and yet people talk shit of his contribution and want Cesc to start games who is proven that he is not mobile enough.

Thank God for a manager. You do have to admit Cesc has been on amazing form though. Can't keep him off soo much.

Cesc Fabregas wants to help Chelsea fight for the Premier League title despite reports of interest from Italy, Sky sources understand.

Better start tomorrow. Matic & Kante will get exposed in another big game.

According to the bib theory this is the team for today - Thibo - Azpi Luiz Cahill - Moses Kante Matic Alonso - Hazard Diego Costa Pedro.

We need to play 3-5-2 with Matic and N'Golo as DM's and Cesc as playmaker.

 

If we play 3-4-3, I can't see us winning. 

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

Cesc is so important for us.  Even if it's off the bench.  When he comes in he completely settles the midfield down.  No one else can do what he does.  He offers us a real change, not just like for like.

He has to start against Arsenal IMO. Hope Conte feels the same.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Maybe its just a placebo effect, but I do think he is tiny bit quicker in his reactions and loses the ball fewer times than before. There were some moments in pool game where he released the ball very quickly and either made good pass or got fouled. 

He also looks slimmer, doesnt he?

[Blue Armour 4,436]

Have to mention at least a word about the professionalism of this man. Not playing as often as before, coming on a sub against his old club, and then shows good composure to put the ball in the back of the net. Subdued celebrations, but still kept going forward to create chances.

He deserves to be vice captain. Beyond Terry, he is our best leader. You look across to your teammate Cesc, and you see a player you want to live up to and emulate. You don't really feel the same way with Luiz or Azpi regardless of their passion & dedication. Especially with how he's on the bench now, yet still being in our top 5 most crucial players, it'd be a nice touch for him to come on and get the arm band.

Was telling my dad 'I hope Fabregas scores' when he came on and moments later, he scored.

Thanks #AgentCech!

Genuinely upset by how underrated that goal was. Yes, it was a huge mistake by Petr, but that finish was nothing short of world class!

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Thought he did well overall but I was shocked at the amount of easy passes he misplaced.

Should play more...

Cesc saying he's staying for sure (17/18). Great news for Chelsea's squad depth.

Even though he hasn't been a regular starter, Chelsea never would've been in this position without him. His contributions off the bench and whenever he's been given the chance to start have been stellar. He's also one of the few big personalities and well-spoken players Chelsea possess. I can't imagine him not being respected and held in high esteem by his peers. I think Conte would do well to promote him to vice-captain.
