Before i start. . Fabregas was outstanding today, no doubt

Just came online and to see the expected deliberately blind Hijo de putas running their mouth.

MAn.. We were on our way to drawing that game until Matic came on doing basically what Fabregas does when he comes on.

The real blind hijo de puta is you here bro, because you've conveniently forgotten that we were not only ahead until the 45th minute due to a *drum roll please* Fabregas goal, we were ahead Comfortably.

These were the last two entries BBC posted in their match commentary prior to the Swansea goal.

Great save from Fabianski. Cesc Fabregas is close to his second goal of the afternoon with a fierce strike but is denied by the diving Swansea keeper, who palms the ball away with one hand.

Chelsea are absolutely dominating this.

And

Chelsea remain firmly on top against Swansea. They haven't found a second bit of cutting edge in the box yet, though. The ball is swung in to the box for Victor Moses, but he is denied by a diving tackle from Alfie Mawson. But it wouldn't have counted even if he had found the net. The flag is up.

In both cases, the BBC commentary stresses that the game was being bossed.

When you try to play the 'IF' game by claiming IF Matic hadn't come on blah blah, only a blind fool will fail to consider that IF the defenders hadn't gone to sleep at a simple set piece, then we would STILL be ahead by a Fabregas goal in a game where we were very comfortably on top.

The debate between Fabregas and Matic has to do with efficency and opportunity cost. Does Matic's perceived physicality and defensive qualities outweigh the lack of offensive output which Fabregas offers? The answer is a resounding NO - Not only is Matic impotent offensively, but the so called defensive abilities are not even apparent

Liverpool (no clean sheet home and away), Arsenal (no clean sheet home and away), Spurs (No clean sheet), City(No clean sheet)

The cleansheets have come against mostly the same small teams you claim Fabregas can only shine against - Hull, Stoke, West Brom, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and so on....Most of whom have been in the relegation zone at some point this season.

So it's pretty clear that barring the Manyoo game Matic can really only offer 'defensive resilience' against the so called small teams that you said Fabregas only scores and assists against.

So what is the real advantage of Matic then? I think you need to shut up with the 'Blind yarns' when it's pretty clear that you need yeast in your life B.

Can you imagine that I forgot to drop my Lukaku Alert?

Unlimited22:
He is

He has to be.

hensben:
If not for the introduction of matic that game could've ended a draw. .

You're joking right?

lordfalcao:
can Fabregas run 5k been marked and also shielding the ball without falling ?

Which brand bro?

lordfalcao:
chill. Come next week we know who is playing alongside N'golo

are we playing next week?

lordfalcao:
anybody can do a solo run, but Fabregas can't move 5km without been shrugged off the ball or falling down.

This is how you were claiming the other day that Fab was dominated in midfield , when in actual fact he was the man of the match

Which brand of TV you dey use sef? Just out of interest.

lordfalcao:
.. A passenger is making a starter sit on the bench...

Oscar did it to Mata. Torres did it to all strikers. It's a normal at Chelsea FC.

Ibime:
This is Swansea midfield we are talking about who ain't about midfield battle. This is hardly a litmus test of that position. I personally would have started Fabregas today.

Amyway forget story, this lady on frontpage is my cousin. Come yarn me better thing.

I swear you dey craze

I'm out with my wife. I can't even open such a link. Let raumdeuter table this matter. Na hin specialty be that.

Ibime:
Didn't say it was due to Fabregas. I'm wondering why the hyperbole over an uncomfortable win over Swansea at home, like we were losing before now, when we have been trashing much better teams than Swansea comfortably.

You guys are the ones that were claiming it couldn't be done and Fabregas can't play 343.

Not only is Fabregas playing the formation with no problem, he is posting goals and assists. He is playing the same formation and finishing as MOTM in consecutive games...

Nah fam. You are the one with the hyperbole blud. I'm me, reporting live from your toilet, and keeping it 100% real

Ibime:
17 minutes to the end of the game, we were dropping points and hoping for victory at home against Swansea. In most of our matches this season, we are home and dry by 60 minutes.

Yes and this is due to Fabregas how?

lordfalcao:
yea a fool who won 80% of his matches starting Matic

To which Matic contributed only 6 goals...mostly by luck.

Passengers are nothing new. Mikel played almost 70% of all games he was eligible for between his signing and his ignominious dispatch to the far east.

I hope you saw that 22 year old girl with HIV on front page today. You can be carrying a parasite and still look healthy

lordfalcao:
come next match we are still seeing Matic sitting above fabregas.

If this happens then Conte is a fool.

Ibime:
It was only Swansea yet we nearly dropped points.

This is a stupïd thing to say in a game we won with 2 goals to spare.

How did we 'nearly' drop points when we were already ahead 27 minutes into the 2nd half...after even already chopping bar?

Ibime:
That lanky Serb was part and parcel of our 4 most dominant performances of the season - Everton 5-0, Utd 4-0, Southampton 2-0 and Arsenal 3-1.

Every team has a passenger or two. It's normal.

BTW lordfalcao who is the MOTM again?

2 consecutive games now.

This is me Nihilist, reporting live from the back of your sofa with the Fabregas alert

Ibime:
Calm down ogbeni. It's only Swansea.

See Alonso balling.

It was only Burnley till Matic cost us a win.

lordfalcao:
twice matic has made deep runs into the mildfield and caused problems. If Matic didn't make that run, there will be no goal.

And if my aunty had a dïck she would be my uncle.

Temple run high score vs goal and assist.

Use your tongue to count your teeth bro.

lordfalcao:
See matic solo run with the ball to the 18 yards while guiding it properly.. Nice play boys

Nothing new there. When Ibime told you the boy runs 11km per game, did you think he was joking

Let Matic stay improving his temple run high scores, while the real midfield don runs the game.

Costa of life.

Surely Moyes must be next in line for the axe.

I bet he wishes to this very day that his phone was off the day Manyoo called him for interview

Fabregas assist?

Nah no comment

Odunharry:
Something don enter.. Chelsea better Dont cause any foul. Give him 35-30yards free kick and he will down it.

Don't mind a draw or lose for Chekpe though.

Dude is like Bullseye from the Daredevil comics. E no dey use 2 eye see target at all.

Hmmm.

Na small small points dey drop.

Conte wake up on.

No comment.

Ibime:
What of Ibime?

Dayo and Afrodoc don tag team you already. You wan make i tackle you on top that one too?

Fabregas starts.

Lalaboi and lordfalcao eat your hearts out

Dayo you be big fool I swear

Danhumprey:
Loooool...... you ehn! Your comments always have a way of making me to laugh....


But constantly blaming Man United for EPL's poor performances in Europe won't hold water for long....... are you telling me that without Man United in Europe, the other teams that don't fail to show their strength when playing Man United in the league, can't step up and really representing the EPL?



Haba!

No other team in England had anywhere close to the resources that Manyoo has. How do you step into the shoes of a fallen giant?

It's like you guys don't know how big Manyoo actually are sha. I'm just pleased that I witnessed their demise in my lifetime, and I pray that they don't do any nonsense lazarus trick there.

Blame Manyoo for EPL's recent poor showings in Europe.

The 2 constant ks when it comes to EPL participation in Europe have always been Chelsea and Manyoo. Arsenal were always there to sign register. Liverpool used to be the dark horse team but now city have stolen their slot.

Blame Manyoo. When the Ferguson era ended, the useless feckless nothern wänkers reverted to type and dropped out of top 4 to chase benefits.

Blame Manyoo.

I guess that's why Dier isn't a first team regular anymore
