very intrigued to see how cesc works as a CM. been a damn long time since he's played there/had any defensive responsibility.

doubt it will matter today though

Cesc as a CM


Matic is pretty dang disciplined and is almost always behind the ball. Gives Fabregas a lot more freedom going forward. He'll play behind the striker some too.

yeah, he's just not quite as mobile/defensively capable as a traditional CM in a 4-2-3-1. i think in bigger matches you'll drop oscar and start cesc as the no. 10.

"Fabregas is washed up," they said.

3-1 at the half. Burnley's early goal was answered by Costa on a rebound, Schurrle from a magnificent Fabregas assist and an Ivanovic goal from a corner.

Schürrle's run was perfectly timed and that pass was amazing.

Of course, but that goal was a good one.

Fabregas is back where he belongs position wise and in the league that suits him best. Great buy for Chelsea. Wish Arsenal wasn't so stacked in that area.

The finish was great for sure. The space he had because we were so sloppy clearing our lines after the initial clearing header was unacceptable.

I said "can't ask for a much better start". I had clean sheet on my mind with the qualifier...

Eta: Cesc already leads the team in assists and was a creative force in the midfield. That's exactly what I was hoping for when we announced his signing.

Ivan with 1 assist and initiated the other two. Great game for him. Also happy with Cesc's game. Both are worthy of MOTM.

One can dream about how good we would have been with Lukaku as the backup.

Special One needs to add another striker and we are set. This team can be special.

I'm pretty sure Drogba is that additional forward that he signed.
