I thought even though we won the league last year, the football was torrid, and we had to rely on hazard and at times, costa, to win us points on their own.

The Italian Pochettino.

Appointing Sarri is seen as a gamble, because he has not won a major trophy yet

Or a minor one. Not even the Norwich hospital trophy (shared)

No chance.

It wasn't Klopp or Pep level granted but we certainly played some good stuff and had an attacking plan tactically.

That or the calender year of 2015 spectacularly reduced my standards

Chelsea are in absolute turmoil. If things don’t improve then Roman Obamavich will take his millions elsewhere. Chelsea will at best end up like Leeds, Sunderland, or Forrest, stuck down in the lower divisions for years to come (where they generally belong) or more likely end up like Wimbledon or Rushden and Diamond. Time to close the club and start again?

In terms of trophies, the comparison with Pochettino seems fair . However his side plays a much more expansive style, very much like Pep’s style.

It could go either way m8. We could end up like the mighty Dundee Utd

Never quite got why Spurs are always mentioned as an example of great football, they were much more better "on the eye" under Harry.

It's brutally effective what Poch is building ill give them that, but when they are not playing well they can be an absolute eye sore (that Levekusen game last year at Wembley makes even our most boring game this season look like Liverpool vs City )

Chelsea have traditionally played a very expensive style. On average approx £200m.

It’s only a myth m8. You seem to have forgotten that they have been overtaken by the likes of Man City and Utd in the last decade.

Actually Man City play expansive and expensive footy, whereas Man Utd only know one way the boring expensive way m8

Good article

I'm excited. Definitely a gamble that could blow up in our faces if we're not smart about it, but with a bit of patience and sufficient backing from Roman and co, this could work out very well indeed.

The more I read about him as a character as well the more I like him. Seems like the kind of dude who'd light up a cig on the touchline without caring about fines, do love me a rebel

Conte - still an excellent manager but not what we need..and still some elements of his style that holds him back

I feel sad despite his blunders this season to see him go and leave Chelsea on a sour note.

What would have happened if Chelsea had Jurgen Klopp as Chelsea manager with the current squad?Would we have reached UEFA Champions League final this season and how would we have fared in Premiership in last two seasons is another intriguing but interesting question.

Tradition is a word that conjures up memories of times long gone and kept going in the modern era. It doesn't seem to go back too far in your short memory though.

I remember when we were forking out peanuts for the likes of Gordon Davies, Phil Driver and Joe Allon!

WUM fail!!!!
