Welcome to this forum! Although Napoli played a very aesthetically pleasing football, they didn't won anything with Sarri as coach. That's including Coppa Italia. Which should've been a lot more realistic objective for your team. At the end of the day, all that matters is is winning titles. Just look at Pochettino who's still being mocked for not achiving feck all at Spurs. Sarri's tenure at Chelsea will be judged depending on how many titles he'll win for Chelsea. Don Carlo is hardly a great coach when it comes to winning league titles. Only won 5 of those in nearly 20 years despite being in charge for the likes of Juve, Milan, Chelsea, PSG, Real Madrid and Bayern. PSG (with their Qatari owners) even lost Ligue 1 to Montpellier with Carlo as coach. To be fair, maybe they'll do better in cup tournametns unlike when Sarri was in charge.

Unfortunately, I can't edit my previous post but I want clarify that Morata's 54 goals came from all comps since playing with RM's 1st team, Juve & Chelsea Which is actually even worse lol. Speaks quite a lot about what Morata has done in his career so far Most players at his age (or younger) are better & accomplished way more than Morata. As many as Messi, Lewandowski, Higuain, Cavani, Griezmann etc.

So far, Morata has made 54 goals in entire career at top divisions (LaLiga, EPL & Serie A) and he's about to become 26-year-old in one month. For comparision, Benzema has made 56 Champions League goals alone.

Kanté has been the single most important player Chelsea since joining the club. Chelsea still can play without Hazard (injured or rested), but having no Kanté in midfield means endgame for the whole defensive setup.

Nonsense. Hazard is undoubtedly a great player, but hardly a world class level. To be honest, I think a lot of people are overrating his on a huge margin. As a forward, Hazard's numbers isn't exactly great for someone who belongs among the elite forwads. And please, I don't want to hear the excuse "But...but... he's played for defensive minded coaches like Mourinho & Conte". The likes of Dybala, Griezmann etc. are fully capable for scoring above 20 goals in all comps despite playing for Conte & Simeone respectively who are well-known for being pragmatic in their set-ups. I'll always maintain that when Hazard was 20/21 year-old & played for Lille, he made his best season ever by scoring 20 goals in all comps. A feat that hasn't been repeated since. Never mind that Hazard has been incredibly underwhelming far too often in UCL.

To be honest, I think it's safe to say that Kanté has surpassed Makelele by a massive margin - ability wise. Yes, Maka used to be a fantastic player but he was never skilled on the ball unlike Kanté who's improved tenfold on this aspect. Kanté is already an EPL-legend and will go down as an all-time great when it's said & done.

Was utter sh*te vs. Southampton yesterday and got subbed out in favour for Giroud who was the catalyst when Chelsea won against Saints despite being down with 0-2.

Kanté was absolutely terrific against Leiciester during Quarter-finals in FA-Cup yesterday. Probably the best game I've ever seen him in a Chelsea-shirt. I don't care what anyone else says, Kanté will definitely go down as one of the absolute best defensive midfielders ever when it's all said and done. Kanté is the only genuine world class player the club have and should give him an immense pay-raise.

Nope. Willian has outperformed Hazard for months now and is Chelsea's most dangerous player.

Had a fantastic performance against Barca tonight.

Willian was incredible tonight despite the team losing 0-3 against Barca tonight. Unlike Hazard, this guy is pretty damn reliable on such high-pressure games at the biggest stage. And frankly, I think Willian is Chelsea's best attacking player currently.

Was fecking useless against Barca tonight. And let's not forget that Hazard complained about his best position in front of media, got EXACTLY what he wanted by being a left winger, but still got outperformed by Willian. It's a ridiculous to suggest that Hazard is a top 5 player, never mind a top 10 player.

Pogba was a ridiculously gifted talented young footballer who never got a fair chance at ManU. SAF was just an idiot for playing Rafael on the midfield against Blackburn, which was the reason why Pogba left them in the first place.
