Chippy Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Chelsea are 'average' without Didier Drogba, says Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas Cesc Fabregas has cast serious doubt over Chelsea’s ability to maintain their recent form during next month's African Cup of Nations by describing them as a “normal†team without Didier Drogba. By Jeremy Wilson, 7:00AM GMT 08 Dec 2009 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/footba ... regas.html "An average team that has the best striker in the world can always do something, and Didier Drogba makes all the difference to them," said Fabregas. "Without him their team would not be the same," added the Arsenal captain. Arsenal have suffered 3-0 and 4-1 home losses against Chelsea over the past six months, including last Sunday’s defeat, but Fabregas refuses to see Chelsea as a vastly superior side. "Overall I saw a Chelsea team that was normal - but a team that has probably the best striker in the world, and that makes such a difference," he said. "In midfield you could see that, if we wanted, they could never take the ball from us. The difference sometimes comes up front - we couldn't take advantage last Sunday while they did. We accept, though, that Chelsea are currently the strongest side."
SydneyChelsea Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 It's awfully hard to hear him from Essien's back pocket.
dkw Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 so thats wenger, van persie and fabregas who have came out with the same bollocks after they lost. they have really taken that battering very hard havent they. which is obviously brilliant amd also hilarious.
kalpitv Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 What did van persie say? "Horse placenta makes me feel ticklish."
The Brit Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 i want to take some of the stuff they give the players and manager at arsenal...it makes you delusional!
coco Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Last season we finished above Arsenal (you could argue that Le Arse were a much stronger team last season with Adebayor and Torre) by 11 points without Drogba for the main part of it, Anelka slotted in and ended up the top scorer in the league. Explain that Cesc ?
paulo Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 In midfield you could see that, if we wanted, they could never take the ball from us. You say that you could have continually retained possession if you wanted to so why did you deliberately give us the ball all of the time? Was it some sort of reverse psychology tactic that Arsene thought up? Or had you put a little bet on your lot losing? Or are you just talking a load of old bollocks?
PloKoon13 Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Wenger - "Drogba doesn't do much in games" Fabregas - "Drogba is the only reason Chelsea are good" I hear delusion is nice this time of year...
goose Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 I think from the manager down Arsenal have a Chelsea fetish. They can't stop ranting about us. I think it may be an attempt to deflect from their own failings.
