Cesc Fabregas Says Season Is Destroyed, Reveals Agony of Chelsea's Struggles

Cesc Fabregas has admitted Chelsea’s 2015/16 season is ruined, telling reporters everything is going against the Premier League champions—per Sami Mokbel of Daily Mail.

The midfielder put together an impressive performance during Spain’s comfortable 2-0 victory over England on Friday evening, but he quickly turned his attention to the Blues and said luck isn’t on their side:

"

The season is f***ed. The results have not done justice to what we do on the pitch. We are doing things better, but we've had no luck. We have to start winning now. We are not in the best moment at the club and we want to lift ourselves up and start playing better. We don't like to be losing.

Jose Mourinho’s men face struggling Norwich City when the Premier League returns on Saturday, and anything other than a victory will put the Portuguese manager under immense pressure.

Yet the players are also feeling the heat, as Fabregas revealed he’s been suffering sleepless nights during Chelsea’s stuttering campaign:

"

When things don't go right I can't sleep at night. Sometimes when I am at home, in bed, I wonder.

You have your own thoughts and the manager will have his thoughts about what is going on and it is all about talking about things and putting this right all together.

Football is my life. It is everything to me. My family keep me happy sometimes but when football does not go well, my life is not happy.

I try to fix it and try to put it right. We are used to always being at the top.

The Blues are 15 points adrift of table-toppers Manchester City, and it’s below-par performances from their star men—such as Fabregas—that have caused the Stamford Bridge crisis.

The Spaniard looked a different animal on international duty last week, though, and he even chalked up an assist for Mario Gaspar’s spectacular opening goal with an intricate ball over the top.

It’s exactly that which endeared Chelsea fans to Fabregas upon his arrival from Barcelona last summer, yet WhoScored.com’s stats reveal he hasn’t been doing the business this time around:

Countryman Diego Costa has also come under the spotlight this term, as he’s failed to replicate his goalscoring exploits of 2014/15. So much so that he’s been linked with the Stamford Bridge exit door—as Bleacher Report Insider Dean Jones discussed:

And Fabregas believes the striker’s lack of goals has been keeping Chelsea from getting the points their performances deserve:

“The striker is the most important player on the pitch. Sometimes, 80 per cent of the time, he is important as he scores the goals. At the end of the day in football, you can play well, defend well, but it is about scoring goals, about scoring one more goal.”

There’s a long way to go this season, and you do get the sense that Chelsea will be back on the road to redemption before too long.

A generous fixture list ahead of Christmas gives the Blues the chance to surge up the table—and it gives Fabregas the chance to get some much-needed sleep.
