Odd game, Chelsea dominated first half hour really but Arsenal since then have been better team and could of scored 4 goals with chances they have had in that half.

Both defences are woeful, putting it kindly.

Luiz is awful, also like you I don't know what Sarri is trying to achieve with Kante.

At Napoli Jorginho wasn’t even a DM Allan was and let Jorginho dictate play and tempo. He’s literally taking away the best 2 parts of each player. Baffling!
 
Alonso is a FF must ;) Hazard and Kovacic are 2 must starters. Sarri just needs to switch the CMs around and dump sideshow!
 
This is promising against an Arsenal side that made all their signings early and whose manager had more than a month to work with the team. Sarri has only had 3 weeks with this team and his two best players (Hazard and Kante) only came back a week before the season. Kova and Haz did not even play the first half.
 
Cant be too harsh on the defense either. They are literally playing in a completely different system after playing in a back 5 for the last 2 seasons.

Yeah hopefully it works out and should get better. But Luiz can’t fill anyone with confidence in a back two. Still think the CM balance is wack. Hazard what a player!
 
Same as I just posted the Arsenal thread, lot of positives as to what Sarri wants Chelsea to become. I can see Kante being a surprise scorer quite a bit this season now he’s finally been given more freedom with his range.

Gonna’ take time but it’s fun to be entertained every week good or bad huh?
 
Best offensive football since Ancelotti's first year, and Sarri just had couple of weeks and Hazard on the bench.

Yeh but that's not saying much when you consider the recent managers are Conte, Mourinho, Di Matteo. (H)

How’d you forget every Utd fams ‘favourite’ fella Rafa? ;)

I'm actually a big fan of Rafa, despite the checkered history with United. I can't help but respect him, he took the Newcastle job after being at Real Madrid... who else would do that?? But not only that when they got relegated, he could of just walked but still had the balls to stay, getting them promoted back to PL.

Finished 10th last season in PL with a poor squad that is in need of investment badly but is being run my Mike Ashley who is just a curse on the club.

However wouldn't be surprised if he leaves this season, they have had practically no investment again in the summer and are fighting for relegation again because of it. If Rafa can manage another mid table finish it will be a miracle with that squad.
 
Oh, don’t get me wrong z, I respect the **** out of him too. Top manager and an even better fella. What he and his misses have done, unpublicised, to many causes, not least the fight for justice over Sheffield ..... utmost respect.

But I’d honestly stop going the game regularly again and be back to what I was under him picking and choosing than go sit through his brand of footy again. Couldn’t sit through being bored ____less 99% of the time game-on-game just to get the result. Which didn’t even have to be a win so long as it was a result.
 
Wrong thread that needs taking up the general PL thread, but if there’s a worse owner than Ashley anywhere I’d like to hear of him. F knows what his end game is with Newcastle as he neither has any intention to invest or sell. Utter madness. I don’t personally care much for Geordies, mainly down to ‘run-ins’ with them the match over the years, but their loyalty deserves a lot better than that *****.

A LOT better.

You can't beat that Atletico chairman in the 90s. Bloke was going through like 2 managers a season and gave away young Raul for free to Real.
