Enough is enough, Chelsea need to stop hiring managers with no premier league experience.

Like Conte or Jose?

TruBlu, you may have put your finger on an essential truth. Italian football is so much slower than the Prem - it is very rare to see a high pressing game in the Italian League - this is why Sarri's Napoli were successful (except they didn't win anything! ) . Sarri's slow possession game just cannot work in English football. But Sarri should be able to see that and adapt - he is paid £millions every year to do just that. But, just like Conte, Sarri seems to only have one system and if that fails it all falls apart.

Did I dream about Conte winning the Premiership?
I enjoyed Conte’s first seasons football. Nothing slow about it.

MRs costa you do realise sarri wants us to play faster but the players aren’t doing it right?

Ancelotti was a shocking manager.

Yeah, was really evident at times last night that Hazard got the ball and everyone else was 25 yards behind him. Nobody breaking fast.

get the wolves manager.

TomB, Conte's 3-5-2 system was successful until the rest of the league sussed it out and adapted - hence the 2nd season. Sarri's system was initially successful until the rest of the league sussed it out - hence our downward spiral. And neither Conte nor Sarri had / have a clue what to do about it. No plan B.

Standard, surely the sign of a good manager is being able to get your message across - if Sarri 'wants us to play faster' then he is failing very badly to get his message across and is, therefore, a poor manager.

Mrs Costa, the players haven’t worked out how to play plan A yet and you want them to start playing a plan B?
Think about it.
