Sarri on injuries: "We have a little problem with Christensen. A little injury to his hamstring. The doctor told me it's not very serious but he needs to rest for about one more week, I think. We miss him for a couple of matches" #cfc

 

[Rosh Hashannah]

Sarri on Christensen: "I think Barcelona yesterday signed a new CB... Christensen is out of the market. He's an important player for us" #cfc

 

[Rosh Hashannah]

Sarri on striker reports: "I don't know about [Callum] Wilson. Eddie [Howe] is a friend & I want to see him very happy..." #cfc

 

[Rosh Hashannah]

Sarri says he wanted "two or three matches" to see if false nine could be a solution in all situations & explained his thinking to Giroud #cfc

 

[Rosh Hashannah]

Sarri says he doesn't know if he'll play false nine vs Leicester, but points out Giroud played the full 90 mins vs Bournemouth & Morata has only just returned to training... #cfc

 

[Rosh Hashannah]

I ask Sarri about Higuain. He calls him a 'wonderful player' but doesn't want to talk about him because he's got two strikers right now #cfc

[Rosh Hashannah]

I ask Sarri about the false nine. He says he was sure about it vs City but wants to see it against a more compact, defensive opponent (Leicester?) #cfc

 

[Rosh Hashannah]

Sarri says Hazard is so good that he doesn't have a best position. He adds that Hazard has told him he enjoys playing false nine #cfc

 

[Rosh Hashannah]

Sarri on Drinkwater: "Danny is in the list for the PL but not for Europe. He's a very good midfielder but he's suitable for a midfield with two CMs. In a three he's not suitable to play centre-right or centre-left, so his problem is my football." His future? "I don't know" #cfc

 

[Rosh Hashannah]

That's all from Sarri for now. #cfc

"Higuain to Chelsea? Not as far as I know. Chelsea do not buy 30-31 years old players and we'll hold onto him" - Gattuso

Napoli’s coach Carlo Ancelotti: "Hysaj? We need to wait and understand what will happen with his move to #Chelsea" #CFC

 

[Rosh Hashannah]

Chelsea fans, would you be happy if we were to sign Higuain and Fekir in January?

 

[Rosh Hashannah]

I understand why Chelsea fans don't want Isco. It's laughable but it's all bcos he's having a bad season, entire Real Madrid team are having bad season. Isco was unplayable under Zidane, he can't be shit over night. Kovacic is good for us but Isco was 10x better than him at Real.

 

[Rosh Hashannah]

I don't understand CFC's board decisions. Higuain was available in the summer and Sarri wanted him but Chelsea decided not to sign him. Higuain also mentioned that 'Only Sarri wanted me' and no one else at Chelsea wanted me. Now 6 months later, they are negotiating for Higuain.

- Transfer Episode:
• Isco
• Higuaín
• Fekir

Looking at the impact of each players so far this season under Maurizio #Sarri

1. KEPA ARRIZABALAGA.
..
The Strengths, Weakness, Saves, History and improvement under Sarri.
..
The rise of Kepa has been massive, considering he was playing in Spanish segunda with teams like Ponferradina & R/Valladolid 3.5years ago. He made the leap to join Chelsea & has been impressive. He's by far the best GK in the league & justifying the price we paid for his services
His Strengths;
- Ball playing GK; he can play the ball short & long with both legs & strong accuracy.
- He's good at penalty saving (although haven't faced one in CFC yet)
- He's always calmed & Composed
- He commands his area with high authority. (Very Vocal)
- Very disciplined.
Chelsea Stats;
- He has played in total 22matches so far;
Goal conceded= 16
- Clean sheets= 12
- He was impressive & rated 7.02 vs Manchester City
- Has two (2) saves per game ratio

*Europa League Stats;
- Played 5, Conceded 1 goal
- 5 saves
- 114/120 passing accuracy (96%)
Considering the price we paid for him, I personally never expected him to be this good early on in his Chelsea career, but credits to guy he has performed excellently well under Sarri's watch & delivered. If he keeps improving like this, he'll soon be among the top 3 GK'S ITW.
