That is exactly who I want for our No. 8 role. He will be our ericson. Assist king, great crosser, set piece master and can shoot from long range. He has played that role under Ancelloti in madrid and got 15goals 15 assists in the league. He should be our No.1 target if Hazard leaves

BREAKING (NOT) NEWS: Eden Hazard has finally and conclusively decided that he will either go to Real Madrid or stay at Chelsea

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri defends Jorginho: 'He needs his team-mates to MOVE' CHELSEA boss Maurizio Sarri has defended Jorginho in light of recent criticism of the player, insisting his game is based around the movement of his team-mates.

Completed 12 dribbles today, he was in the mood. Maybe because of this guy

He won't get many plaudits, but he played more like a traditional winger today. He stayed very wide and put in a lot of crosses into the box (I think about 10 crosses today) for Higuain and Hazard to score. That is what I want from him, stay wide like callejon and stretch the play, leave the cutting inside to Hazard. We can't have all the wingers occupying the middle and crowding out space for our striker and midfielders to run into.

Post-Match Press Conference: Chelsea 5-0 Huddersfield Sarri: “I think we started very well. In the first 25, 30 mins I saw my football. We moved the ball very fast with good movements off the ball. I’m happy because we played for 90 mins & defended for 90 mins, but we need consistency now” Sarri on big February: “It will be very difficult - also for our opponents, I think. We have to be happy for our season - we are in February & involved in four different competitions” Sarri on keeping it going: "In the Cup we played Liverpool, Spurs & City. It is like the Champions League, I think. Here in England, everything is very difficult. The league is competitive. We need consistency in the performances, results will be difficult but in perfromances" Sarri on Higuain: “When he arrived he wasn’t top physical condition. Now he’s improving & I’m very happy because aside from his goals, I think he’s really suitable to play with Eden” Sarri on motivation: “We need to understand that in the future we will not have to lose a game to get motivation. We have to improve consistency, mentality” Sarri asked if he’s confident Bournemouth won’t be repeated: “I’m not sure but I hope so.” Sarri on emotions of last few days: “I was completely focused on the team in the last three, four days. I wanted to understand. Today the answer is really very good but we have to be careful because we need the same mentality in every match” Sarri on Chelsea’s potential: “I think we have good potential. We need to arrive to play 70, 75 mins like the first 25 in this match. We need to play the same football with continuity”

Apparently the chelsea players dont know that. None of the attackers like to make runs off the ball to stretch the play, they don't play one touch football, they hug the ball with 4, 5, 6, 7 touches before releasing it and still dont move into space to stretch the play. They're tactically inept and its going to take a ton of time to change this mentality.

Klopp got rid of (Mignolet, Karius, Clyne, Sahko, Klavan, Moreno, Lallana, Sturridge, Origi) all out of his starting lineup and got (Alisson, Vandjyk, Matip, Robertson, Keita, Fabinho, Shaqiri, Salah,) in 3 years before his ATTACKING football started to work. Pep got rid of (Hart, Bravo, Zabaleta, Sagna, Mangala, Kolarov, Clichy, Yaya, Navas, Nasri, Iheanacho, Bony) all out of his starting lineup and got (Ederson, Danilo, Kylewalker, Stones, Laporte, Mendy, Gundogan, Mahrez, Sane, Jesus etc) in 1+ years before his ATTACKING football started to work. In Sarri we finally found an attacking manager with a philosophy and these players want to use player power and pull a fast one, after complaining about Conte's defensive tactics and ruining our season. They're not getting away with it this time, we die here.....

These players revolted against Conte, they accused him of being defensive, they ridiculed him and got him sacked. Now we have hired an attacking, possession based coach for them and they are throwing their toys out at the pram again??? I wont take it, the crybaby players have to reap what they sow...

Sarri: “The situation in England is very clear. There are three teams above the others. In one, the coach arrived five years ago, in another four years ago, and in the other three years ago. English football is in the hands of these teams. They had a plan and were really patient. So we need to change mentality and go on. The situation for me is really clear.”

And that is what Sarri means by Hazard is an individualistic player. Sarri's system cannot survive without runners off the ball, and the attackers (Hazard, Willian and co) need to do more of that so that the midfield can find them with balls on the run not with their backs to goal.

Pre-Match Press Conference: Chelsea vs Huddersfield Sarri on post-Bournemouth: "I didn’t attack the players. I talked to them because I needed to understand. Then I went home immediately because I wanted to review the match. There wasn’t another reason." Sarri: "If we have a mental problem, it could be the players, it could be the technical staff, it could be the club. I cannot think to the club, so I have to think to the players & the technical staff" Sarri says he's still searching for a way to motivate Chelsea's players & adds: "I want first of all to change the mentality... I think my football is cooperation. I have to involve them in my football more than at the moment" Sarri says it's not easy to change the mentality of "individual players" in only four or five months Sarri says Chelsea's front three are making life too easy for opposition defences by playing too narrow - seems aimed at Hazard/Pedro/Willian Sarri says Chelsea have been used to playing on the counter-attack in recent years. He's trying to change the mentality because he wants control Sarri on Plan B: "Why? First of all I want to do very well the Plan A. I don't want to change something that at the moment doesn't work very well. First of all, I want to see my football played very well. Then we can go to change something" Sarri cites the example of Barcelona (under Pep), who won everything by "playing their football" Sarri points out that Klopp struggled in his first season at Liverpool. Says the PL's three best teams this season all have long-term coaches Sarri asks if Chelsea have assured him time: "I don't mind, because I'm a dreamer. I want to play my football. If I arrived here, it's because I'm a dreamer" Sarri says he would only consider playing Kante in the Jorginho role "for 20 minutes if I have to defend a result" Sarri says Jorginho shouldn't be judged on "the last pass", saying he operates "maybe 40, 45 metres from the goal" Sarri on attacking: "We have some problems to score. We are working on this, of course. We played with four, five players with their backs to the opposition goal. We need to receive the ball on the run" Sarri: "I like very much to speak to my players about tactical problems. I don't like to have to speak with them about mental problems" Sarri says Hazard is changing from "an individual player" to someone who plays "in a cooperative way" Sarri on the fans: "First of all, we have to say sorry to them. The result was a disaster. I can understand them very well. They have to be patient with us atm because we're trying to do something great. It's not easy" Sarri on Higuain's condition. He says he's not in top shape yet but once he gets his sharpness he "can be very useful immediately"
