Maybe its me.....but apart from playing further up the pitch and pressing a bit more, what changes have actually been made since Sarri came?  Pressing has made us weaker defensively IMO as the defenders are further up the park, we still are in the habit of passing backwards and sideways and we still look bereft of ideas in the final 3rd.  I thought Sarri ball was all about one touch football, free flowing etc and apart from this bit of brilliance from Hazard...what has actually changed...? 

i agree

It takes time. We are much better in position for a start. Under pressure from the opposition press under Conte we sh*t the bed and hoofed it up the field, under  Sarri we are more composed under the oppo press. After 5 games the players have picked up his style very well. Majority of those players have played under Jose and/or Conte's style, so expecting us to play the Sarri way immediately is not possible. We aren't City who are going from an already offensive style of play, we're going from a more defensive style to this style.

I havent seen that blatant cheating in ages

There we go! 

Now we can pretend it's still 0-0 and try and bury Cardiff.

Now let's hope Hazard pushes on and bags a second

It's not worked to the same effect today, but the first 4 games clearly shows improvement from what we were doing before. It's still in it's early phase, but we are a lot more dominant of the ball and put opposition defences under a lot more pressure. Under Conte last season, we weren't keeping the ball in any game.

Something is seriously wrong.  Warnock has not acted like a prick yet.

2-1
