3) Arsenal should have signed Cesc Fabregas
With the likes of Ozil and Wilshere performing so badly, it will hurt even more for Arsenal fans that their former star Cesc Fabregas was in such fine form for the opposition yesterday, bossing the game for Chelsea in the way that he used to for the Gunners. The Spanish playmaker was offered the chance to re-join Arsenal this summer after being put up for sale by Barcelona, and as the weeks go by it looks all the more baffling that Arsene Wenger did not take up this option. Where Ozil went hiding in this important encounter, Fabregas rose to the occasion and put in a match-winning display with a superb assist for the second goal. Wenger said at the time that he didn’t need more players in this position, but Fabregas is better than any of Arsenal’s midfielders and better than most others in the game on current form.
