I quite like his policy of swapping Kovacic/Barkley, Giroud/Morata and Willian/Pedro. In most games, I feel we've looked the better side and just needed fresh legs to continue the pattern of the game. We create chances and miss far too many and then we risk the dropped points...the strikers aren't helping enough re goals as we all know. Our new style will always offer chances so we need to be banking goals because one will seldom be enough under Sarri and his style.

I get very frustrated with the employment of Kante. Sarri knows he simply has to play but I feel he's wasted further up - I actually think it weakens us using him there. He's hardly a goalscorer or creator so I see no logic other than 'he has to play and it doesn't matter where'. Love Jorginho and what he brings to the team. Quick fast movement of the ball....he really does everything so simply at pace. I personally find him an absolute joy to watch. Somehow, someway...Kante has to tuck in around him to add that extra strength.

We are a goalscoring goalscorer behind Liverpool but 2-4 players short of City imo. Sarri needs time to address the gaps so I'll take what comes this season and enjoy the mentality of our lads enjoying football and wanting to dominate games.
