Fabregas breaks Prem record for Chelsea

144 passes v Villa. Highest figure in Prem since Scholes, 2012.

And a higher figure than anything he achieved for Arsenal

 

Thats because we play football

 

He has been incredibly good for us and my initial concerns about him look pretty stupid now. I especially like the way he has quickly bonded with some players like Ivan and Oscar and we have seen Ivan especially go up a notch. Fab also doesn't try and make every pass a "killer", and is happy to share the play until he sees the opening, then his pass is a "killer". Just what we have needed for a few years now.

 

Would still like Pogba or Vidal to play alongside Matic. Rotate Vidal/pog with Rambo and go 433 with Fabregas or push Fab up in 4231 in certain situs

 

I certainly think we should be looking for Fab 2 right away. He is critical to all our attacking play, and we will be in a spot of bother if/when he gets injured/ suspended. Pogba or Vidal will do for me too, though I hope Rip van Winkle comes good. A new face in CD would be nice to see occasionally as well, Zouma deserves first crack, though Ake played incredibly well last time out.

 

So he actually broke a Chelsea record, not a premiership record

 

No, highest figure in PREMIERSHIP, since Scholes in 2012. No idea what the highest figure for Chelsea is: guessing Makelele or maybe Hoddle/Gullit in mid 90s

 

So.. not the highest in the premiership?

 

So not a record then?

 

He is the best

 

Blind made 112 and Fabregas 114 this year in single games.

 

It is in the last two years apparantly
