It is fair to say that Cesc Fabregas had a shocker against Tottenham in the 0-0 draw this weekend, here is a video of his highlights from the game.
The champions Chelsea are languishing in 14th place in the Premier League table, 15 points off the top of the table.
Despite the stalemate, Jose Mourinho said after the draw at White Hart Lane that it was Chelsea's "best performance of the season".
"It's the best Chelsea (performance) of the season as a team," Mourinho said. "We deserved a bit more than we've got. I'm really happy with the performance. The team defended like a team ... against a team that presses really well and aggressively."

Tottenham 0 Chelsea 0 player ratings Oscar: 6 The midfielder drifted across the front line, moving between the lines and was involved in plenty of impressive interchanges. Yet, ultimately, his creativity came up short.
Tottenham 0 Chelsea 0 player ratings Pedro: 6 The Spaniard was a dangerous presence and did plenty of damage when he had a chance to isolate Walker on the left flank. Wasted the chances that fell his way.
Tottenham 0 Chelsea 0 player ratings Eden Hazard: 7 The decision to field Hazard up top was a questionable one but he vindicated his inclusion. A constant menace that Spurs struggled to get to grips with.

Eden Hazard impressed in the central attacking role with Mourinho acclaiming it as his best performance of the season.
"I have played on the left, on the right, recently in the number 10 role, and I just enjoy playing. I know to give my all wherever I am on the pitch," Hazard told Chelsea TV.
"We want to finish in the top four and we know it's difficult but we will try. We will continue to work hard and continue to take pleasure from our game."
