No doubt Christensen should not be taking that risk but I assure you any other midfielder gobbles that ball up.

That sloth did not even move his body one yard toward a ball that passed 3 yards in front of him from 15 yards away.

There is a kind of pass I would play to you within 3 yards of your body, everyone would say its a decent pass, but if I play the same pass to Yokozuna that cannot move his body, it would turn into a mishit.

Who says Fab did not move towards the ball?

See pic below.

You can see immediately that Fab initially moved towrds the ball then realised immediately that he would have intercepted the pass inside our own box.

You can see Messi already hunting him from Behind even as Suarez is pressuring him from the box.

So he did what he thought was clever, by letting the ball roll accross him and out of the danger zone.

Chris put the ball in the danger zone.

Fab let it roll back out

Azpi let Iniesta and the ball back in.

The rest is history.

You don't always have to try and force an agenda. The truth is staring you right in the face.

Even if he wants to make short pass, Kante was stood right next to him.

He bypassed Kante and launched ball into the danger zone

Na wa o

Chris made similar error in first half. He is the main culprit here followed by fab and azpi.

As soon as I saw the pass, I screamed...

Who does that ffs?
if it was a defensive midfielder there. gosh

I was shouting fab, I didn't even see the person who played the pass at first. fab was probably already tired and that's on conte for not taking him off after the Willin's goal.

No need of starting Pedro in this game to be honest. Hazard’s creativity and driving force was missing. Morata can be annoying though but i think he could’ve done great tonight if started.

that goal was soo annoying because Barca did not deserve it.

Chelsea should just go to camp Nou with nothing to lose and pull and upset there.

Roll to who? Fab refusal or laziness to take responsibility there contributed also to the pressure and eventually the goal.

LOOOOOOOOOL

Football fans and scapegoating.

Darling Chris gives a horrific pass. Azpi totally scuffs his own line marking Ini.

Fab takes the blame. The one CFC player that probably never misplaced a pass all game. grin

This says nothing.

Chris threw a wayward pass which was within the reach of Cesc. The Spaniard failed to get hold of it cos he was sleeping.

Who gets the blame here?

The Dane who let the egg slip or the Spaniard who failed to catch the falling egg which was right before him?

Pedro actually did a lot of good pressing that helped Willian and Hazard.

God punish Fabregas.

Bros, ds draw pain me I swear, we rightly deserved to win by at least 2 or 3 goals.

Pedro didn't impress jare.

Conte ruined it all.

As soon as the pass is launched, the first thing Fab did was look at Suarez.

See below.

He knows he has man on behind, and he can see Suarez pressuring in the box.

Why should he go an trap pass inside his own box under pressure from 2 strikers?

Hazard has always been useless playing false nine. Why that dick headed coach decided to use him upfront still dey baffle me.

We could have really won by a bigger margin if he had played his normal role.

I'm just so sad. Too sad
Next leg EV would not know what to expect, and that unpredictable that Conte just displayed to EV will play to Chelsea's advantage. who knows he might go with both Giroud and Morata in the 2nd leg

Fab ought to chase that ball bro, to distract iniesta and also to make azpi stay on his feet. He is defensively lazy. A defensive midfielder will chase that ball, not necessarily mean he will win it but to distract opposition.

Boss, Fab is gifted enough to trap that ball and boot it away. 95% of mids would do that. 1-0 up against Barcelona with 15 minutes to go?

I DIDNT EXPECT FAB TO TRAP THAT BALL NOOOO

I DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO TRY AND PASS THAT BALL



I EXPECTED HIM, LIKE ANY DM WOULD, TO PULLL THE BLOODY BALL OUT.

immediately he noticed pressure he should have pulled out immediately, he took the easy option

maybe because I am watching from my screen but fab should have just fired the ball out. and not play it cool or clever.

Chris was clearly steeewpid not to have cleared that ball one time however fab with all is experience should have at least attempted to clear that ball one time if he felt he was under pressure instead of dropping the responsibility for other players to carry.

Nothing like he did what he thought was clever. That sloth could not move his body. Messi is 10 yards away
He can boot that ball away. IMO some midfielders can even trap that ball. That's why Conte hooked him off straight after. Conte will be regretting not making that move 5 minutes earlier.

The only mitigation you can have for Fabregas was that he looked away for a millisecond while the ball was coming toward him. That millisecond cost him.

Exactly. Especially when protecting a lead and with Messi, Iniesther and Suarez lurking.

Fab let the ball roll, and in case you missed it, was actually in Azpi's position in the box by the end of the move.

That ball was going nowhere dangerous until Azpilicueta dived in recklessly. By letting the ball roll out, Fab had actually defused the situation slightly. The ball was actually rolling away from goal...

Then Azpi opened the gate again...

Not arguing against that....I personally didn't want fab to play in this match at all and I also feel he should have done more in that situation.
