He allows Oscar, Matic and Hazard to thrive

Much has been made of the improvement in the Chelsea midfield since the inclusion of Cesc and there is no wonder.

Nemanja Matic is now able to focus on shielding the back four and breaking play up, with the creative burden lessened slightly.

Not only that, but both Oscar and Eden Hazard are both able to take a step back and really try to find form with the pressure on them massively reduced.

Cesc has already spoken about his understanding with Hazard and we certainly think that it is only just beginning.
