Fwiw..i think Sarri is a very clever manager,and if he retains his job,i can think they will be our biggest rivals next season and beyond.
Not every member of their team has fully taken on board his methods,but when/if they do,Chelsea will be a force to be reckoned with.
Some of their passages of play against us this season have been outstanding..and i for one struggle to remember many other teams managing to put together classy quick passing moves from box to box against us.i hope they get top 4 ,a big ask ,but their style of play imo is more stylish and classier than our noisy neighbours. Definitely a team i,d enjoy watching...
The master tactian has rolled his sleeves up,and is having a hard time,but season 1 in england,..after the change from Italy.. was never gonna be easy,..will be interesting to see how they fare...if he keeps his job,which,imo.he should.

I think they will have a job to keep Hazard, Madrid are very interested

I think hazards time at the bridge is coming to an end.

He will be very difficult to replace an exceptional player

Agreed.on his day almost unplayable.but this is the time for Chelsea to cash in i feel,and the bond between player and manager looked strained a few weeks ago..Both characters making less than flaterring remarks about each other to the press.i suppose Chelsea do have the funds to bring in another world class player,but it will be one who is prepared to work hard off the ball,as the manager demands.Hazard is no youngster,and prob feels that being asked to press defenders is beyond him now...strolling around the spanish league as an out and out wide foward player probably seems very appealing to a player of his talent,at this point in his career....not to mention one final big payday.

Love it when the team proves me wrong :)

It's now effectively a 4-way battle for the CL places and a 2 horse race for the title. I fancy our chances a hell of a lot more if there are 2 spots to fight for, even if there is an extra team in the fight.

I love it when we get under the skin of Spurs players :)

Pedro had zero chill last night.

I almost loved this gem of a tackle and dribble more than the goals we scored.

Good to see Sarri had the balls to drop Arrizabalaga last night.

Big Willy is a very good back-up and Sarri should have no worries using him. I’d keep him in the team until the end of the season.

Personally I wouldn't drag the situation any further than it already has. He was fined a weeks wages and left on the bench for a big game against a London rival. The message is loud and clear. I'd consider the situation handled and closed at this point.
