I note we continue to miss him in midfield...
Could also say that of JT, Brana, Mikel and Oscar.
Different manager different style (now).
All 5 will be doing one.
And you'd be right on all counts, maybe with the exception of Oscar.
He'd be the one that has a chance imo. I had massive hopes for him but he falls short far too much. Would love him to realise potential under Conte but i'm far from confident he will mate.
Fabregas still a favourite of mine but I can't see a place for him as it stands.
I'd love to see him next to Kante in midfield, although on form Matic deserves his place.
Fabregas is a fine player, but it's kind of what I've been saying all season - He just doesn't fit in to the way we've played at any stage this season.
I agree re Matic. Surprised by his form to be honest. You have to stick with the current 11 imo.... even Pedro
Yep, no fan of his, but he's done ok!
Think I mentioned at HT, bloke next to me (not cfcww, the other side ) spent all of the warm up moaning about Pedro playing.
Scores and turns to me "told you he was brilliant!"
He's all hustle and bustle, I've always liked him but hasn't been at his best for us, hopefully it's coming now.
A confidence player if ever I saw one. Not sure he stays in the team once Willian sorts himself out.
Poor sod, he must be feeling a bit conflicted. Is he injured at the moment?
Funnily enough I said to my mate on the way home yesterday that I think Fabregas' days are numbered at CFC under conte. He just doesn't fit conte's style and I don't see where he gets in this midfield.
Kante is first choice, Matic is coming back in to form and I think the way conte plays, we are more likely to see oscar in there if one of those misses out, rather than Fabregas.
I like Fabregas, but it's just one of those things in football.
I finally warmed to him, significantly, at the Leicester cup game and he hasn't played since
