Cesc Fàbregas

"What I know is, him at 10 doesn't improve our play. We might as well have kept Mata for that."

2 pre season games... ffs...

Preseason or not, we need someone to get the ball to the attacking players. Fabregas can do this.

But if Fabregas plays higher up the pitch, then we have the same problems of slow build up, no creativity from deep etc that we have always had.

Barcelona killed him. Chelsea will revive him.

Well a bit, but not that much. They certainly made him a much better all around player, which is of course great.

Looks like Cesc likes not only Lebanese women, but Lebanese food as well

we're soulmates, Cho Chou, the same time you were mentioning me here, I was tweeting you about the same thing.

Well, today we played Matic-Fabregas pivot against a much stronger opposition than Ljubljana, and so far so good. It's just preseason, of course, but it's a positive sign that on the occasions we used such a double pivot, it worked very well.

The understanding between Cesc-Costa and Cesc-Oscar also looks very promising and should only improve with time.

we only have that problem if we stay with Mikel

Yeah, with the latest kids being added to the mix and having had some impact - good or bad, depending on who - not much attention has been paid to him, but your point is perfect.

Once again deployed in the pivot, once again didn't compromise and had a solid match alongside Matic. Maybe it's wishful thinking or bias on my part, as I've been a broken record about a midfield with Matic, Cesc and Oscar, but I think Oscar's presence already made the Matic/Cesc pivot look better. Many times Oscar simply dropped deep and allowed Cesc to run higher. It's so natural for Oscar to do that which is why I've been saying since the beginning that he would make up for Cesc defensively and Cesc would maek up for him offensively and they would improve each other. Now I only need to know if that really happened or is if I'm seeing what I want to see
