Think he get a suspension this weekend, be interesting to see who takes over. for god sake we don't like Matic/Mikel in the 4231.

Presumably Ramires will start. Obviously he's far from being a like-for-like replacement for Fabregas, but he will provide a good riposte to the physicality of Diamé and will be able to assist Oscar in pressing Huddlestone.

Although we do have to be careful not to be too reliant on Cesc. He has a habit of starting the season on fire and then slowing down.

This is shamelessly copied from somewhere..

 

Cesc Fabregas, the man who simply can't stop assisting

 

Cesc Fabregas has been involved in (scored or assisted) 36.8% of Chelsea's goals in the Premier League this season.

Cracking signing, keeping him fit is going to be a massive argument part of our title challenge.

Think the commentator mentioned last night that he has a dozen assists already this season.

Normally would have had one more too.

 

Barring any serious injury/loss of form I think he's going to be the premier league leading all time assist maker, which is a bit crazy considering he wasn't here for 3 years.

 

 

 

131-Ryan Giggs
100-Steven Gerrard
96-Frank Lampard
92-Wayne Rooney
83-Francesc Fabregas
80-Thierry Henry
61-James Milner
60-Robin van Persie
58-Gareth Barry
56-Didier Drogba

I can't believe that I love Fabregas, I never ever thought I would say that

Oh thats easy..

 

Gerrard and Rooney, cause they're c**ts.

What are Milner and Barry doing there!

He needs another 50 assists (roughly) to be become leading assist maker. Assuming he gets 20 per season, that is 2.5 seasons. Think he can do it? Its a big ask..

Small article in the Mail about his assists, pretty sure it was made just to wind Arsenal fans up.

Well then assume 10 assists per season and 5 seasons by which time he'll still only be 32.

What are Milner and Barry doing there!

 

Before Milner joined City he was a decent goalscoring midfielder who could also assist. Now he is more like a workhorse who rarely scores or get's an assist.

Wasn't his first goal for Leeds against us?

His second goal was against us it appears, first was a month prior facing Sunderland. The then youngest to ever score in the PL too, didn't know that.

Was that the game with gudjohnsens overhead kick?

Was that the game with gudjohnsens overhead kick?

Leeds at home around 2001-2002. Lampard cross, Eidur bicycle kick.

Was that it? Any excuse to put this up anyhow:

 

I'm pretty sure when he scored against us they were in white and we lost.

Was that it? Any excuse to put this up anyhow:

That was the first game where lamps grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and gave us an insight into what he could produce in the next decade.

Made my week this article!  I would give a weeks wages to any reporter who grills Wenger on this next press conference ( Cesc also has more assists for CFC than Ozil has for Arsenal since he joined them LOL).  Amazing to see that wheelchair Jack averages something like 3 assists or less as season.  How was this guy ever hyped up so much?  Because Xavi complimented him once?

 

Shows how fickle we (I) can be that I like Cesc so much now but had nothing but contempt (a lil admiration maybe hidden under it all) for him until he started performing (since day 1) for us.  Now he could end up being a CFC cult hero/legend.  Talk about a complete 180 !
