Cesc Fabregas seems to be losing his discipline as Chelsea’s season limps towards its disappointing close.

Cautioned for dissent at Swansea, he’s now been shown a yellow card in every one of his last six starts for his club – and also got booked on duty for Spain in last month’s international friendly against Italy.

Until this run started he’d been shown only two cards in his previous 40 games.

Maybe he is showing a little bit more desire??

You take away the odd long ball pass and he really offers nothing.

 

I can't see him being too useful starting in a dynamic midfield.

As one of his biggest supporters here I'm starting to come around to this line of thinking. Sadly, he's made to look like an old man when going against modern, athletic midfielders.

Do think he can be effective if you put Kanté and Nainggolan in a midfield 3 with him. 

Just can't see how or where we'd sell him to. And I doubt he'd put up with being a sub mostly.

can't discard a HG player like him.

Might as well recall Moses then. And then we should be looking to give the guy in your display picture another 5 year contract soon.

Just watched MOTD. The way KDB ran past Fabregas for the second goal is hilarious. Fabregas looked 80 years old.

On Monday night football now and the presenter said "Do you think there will be anymore twists in the title race, will Leicester win it" Cesc...."I hope so, because I don't want Spurs to win it"

[Tautvix 1,321]

"A lot has been said, and many wrong things, about that," Fabregas explained on Monday Night Football as he made his punditry bow.

"I love Jose, and I even consider him my friend. We still keep in touch right now and some of the things said were unfortunate.

"But I have huge respect for him, and I think Jose’s biggest problem was that he trusted us too much. He gave us more holiday because we were champions, he believed in us more, he trusted us more, and we let him down.

"The whole team, all the players. And that was the main reason why, at the end, he had to go - and myself, and all the team, feel bad for that.”

Well we play the last game vs Leicester and I am sure we will do everything we can to lose that one (if the title goes to the last game).

We dont need to. Believe me. We can put in our "best team" and get raped at the bridge 3-0. Oh wait, thats been done already.

Cesc Fàbregas on Antonio Conte.

[Stats 7,059]

When they asked him what was his favourite assist I was praying he said the one he set up for Costa against Arsenal last season

Because that was certainly mine.

Minus the attacking football bit, surely we had a manager that was "always on their backs and pushing" them? The ultimate version of that type of manager in fact.

Maybe Mou just takes it too far? Just bizarre and incomprehensible to think how our whole team bought into José's methods and message last season and won a title by miles, yet this season just decided not to.

It's always harder to hold onto what you have. I just think there was little desire from most of the squad to stay at that level. The extended holidays had an negative impact as well (nice gesture from Mou backfired).

Well next season will reveal everyhing. We go back to our best and this season will look like one off, probably because Mou worked things in wrong way (too long summer, no signings etc) and eventualy players got tired. 

If Matic, Hazard, etc remain in team and play regulary, but still perform shit, then the problem is much worse because that would mean we have useless squad. And replacing them will take ages. 

We are in a season when Leicester of all teams is on title run. Wouldnt be surprised to see ~8 chelsea players suddenly not give shit about anything and ruin our club tbh. Hopefuly thats not the case tho.

I have a feeling conte is a different beast than José in that regard. He sounds like a madman when things don't go right and he'll pick up on a mistake and drill the players to quit making those mistakes. Italians are known to be very fiery characters.
