Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea 2018/19

[jsp]

Maurizio Sarri set to be announced as Chelsea manager before players return

Assume the delay has something to do with the compensation they would have to pay Napoli reducing after 1st July as he has 1 year less on his contract.

Seems like it’s finally done deal, Zola returning to the club as his assistant manager.

Shame. I hoped Conte would stay and Chelsea would sink even lower.

Seems to be settling into the new team quite well still think they’re learning the system but they’re getting the wins on the board.

Last win at Newcastle was 7 years ago.

Hard not to be convinced by them so far if they can keep Hazard fit they’ve got a shot.

Don’t think they’ve been really tested yet think the better sides could rip that defence apart, Arsenal did it but didn’t punish them for it.

Was a frustrating game for Chelsea but West Ham seem to have found a formation that works for them now after a stuttering start to the season

They look back to the team they were in Conte’s first season everyone together Hazard firing and look like a serious title contender.

Looking more and more like the perfect fit every game this wasn't a bad group of players easy to forget 12 months previously they'd won the title by a mile they just lost their way a bit under Conte which is something that seems to happen at that club when they win the league.

Looks like they've picked a manager who suits the players and the players are taking on board his instructions quickly and no one has really worked out how to stop it yet.
