He won't be missed

[tunde72]

He will be miss. We need toughness in that middle. Fabregas can not provide that. He is not good with tackling. This selection make me feel somehow.

[marutimon]

Chelsea would have done better with Mikel instead of Fabregas.

Matic is injured. I am sure Kante, Moses, and Azpi will keep an eye on Fab.

[Chriskendo43]

I don't know what is wrong with Conte, Mikel should have start

[smartbrother]

Good to see aina regularly making the match day squad
I guess it's a wrap for jmo at Chelsea

[ceejay22]

Even Oscar for Matic would have been a better change for me. Having said that, I trust Contes judgement completely unlike a certain Jose

[tunde72]

He should have play Mikel. NBCSN saying same thing. We cant match them in the middle with this line up. He will have himself to blame fo his stubbornness

So Jose won you two titles and you throw him under the bus for Conte?

Not on this one. We will be well expose by Fabregas non toughness and bad tackling

[Benedict Iroha]

chai mikel is finished

[Chriskendo43]

This Conte must be very stubborn person, Chalobah on the bench ahead of Mikel is a joke
Man city is going to over run us in the middle

[felarey]

Has Mikel dressed for any EPL game this season? Conte has only made 8 changes to the starting lineup this season while Pep has made 46. He doesn't rotate much. With 7 straight wins there's no need to.

Lack of action n Europe also helps

[tunde72]

Mikel just need to leave this team. He has no hope of making the team with Conte in charge.

The guy na one stubborn coach, oh well let's see how it goes.

Abeg enough of Mikel jare....we have been winning without him...let him go wherever he wants to transfer to

[balo]

Let's watch Fab for 15 minutes to see if the midfield gets overrun.

[balo]

Kai, Oscar is growing old on that bench.

Hazard's heel clipped.

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

Biggest game of the year so far. 2 SE players are active ,possibly a third in Aina. We moving on up.
