Not since the Antonio Conte era at Stamford Bridge have Chelsea really had a complete midfield.
Back then, the Blues had Cesc Fabregas, who was playing some of the best football of his stupendous career. They also had Nemanja Matic, who in his prime was one of the – if not the – best defensive midfielders in the Premier League. And a certain N'Golo Kante who hadn't long been with the club but was already making an unbelievable impact on the pitch.
It was a midfield full of winners. A midfield who knew exactly what was required to get the job done. Ever since then, with the likes of Fabregas and Matic moving on, it just hasn't been the same at all.
