His work rate wasn't great? Neither is Fabregas's at the moment.
Mata faded a lot when Mourhino arrived and players were not involving him in the play nearly as much. If he is central to the play, he is a very influential player imo and never let Chelsea down.”
Fabregas HAS been consistently good this season. You don't get 4 goals and 20 assists halfway into a season and not be consistent.
MOTD pundits have said nothing about him being inconsistent this season either so you are just making that up.
There is nothing wrong with Fabregas work rate either, he tracks back as much as he can. He isn't as quick as our other players so he can't do it as well as them but he works really hard. If you can't see this then you simply aren't paying enough attention.
You're right about Mata, he never let us down but he doesn't suit Mourinho's system. I loved the guy when he was here and i hated that we sold him to United but as time has gone on it was clearly the right move to make. Also, Mata still looks nothing like the Mata that played with us for 2 years so i don't see how anyone can argue that it was a bad move to selling him.
