Yeah he's done well so far, trying to implement a new style of football will take time and I hope he's given time.
Hope he is also backed in the transfer window so he can sign better players that will suit his style of play.
There's obviously concerns with our defence, balance in midfield and up front but I'm sure Sarri knows this and will to rectify this in the upcoming window in January and more importantly in the summer when he's hopefully been in charge for a year.
I also like his honesty in interviews, he says it how it is.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree. He got a lot of criticism for saying that Kante didn't do what he was meant to have been doing against Spurs - but I thought it was unusually honest for a coach to talk like that. He had obviously discussed things already with the players, so it's not like they discovered what Sarri was thinking in the media - he had already made it clear to them. I think Sarri's honesty is very refreshing.
As to how he's doing - I said a few weeks ago that I would be delighted with a top 4 finish this season, and nearly got my head bitten off by people who insisted that we should be challenging for the title. I'm just being realistic - we are nowhere near ready for a title challenge yet, and i wonder after last weekend if others are starting to realize that too. I think we and Arsenal are very evenly matched to be honest - I would be delighted if we can pip them to 4th position. I think Man City are waaaay ahead of everyone else, but Liverpool and Spurs and both still stronger than us. And who knows what Man Utd will do - they play terrible football, but there's no denying that Mourinho can grind out results. IMO Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd will be 4, 5 and 6 in the league, and I don't know which order that will be. Our strong start gave us a leg up, but our early confidence is beginning to wane, so I hope Sarri can create a revival over the Winter.
What I would say though - wherever we end up this season, the football we play is an enormous improvement on the past few years. So we can certainly enjoy that while Sarri strengthens the team.
Happy with the league position, but wary of how successful Sarriball will be with the current group of players we have at the club.. I feel our results have flattered to deceive a little and I saw the Spurs thrashing coming (as per my article a few weeks ago).
I love Sarri;s honest and candid press conferences and i think he speaks a lot of sense.

that the original Kante position does not exist in Sarri's world and just back him until we no longer believe in him and his style of football.
It is so refreshing to have a manager with honesty and integrity,especially after the cringe that was Mourinho in his press conferences and his off the cuff comments.
Conte also, in his 2nd season became a changed person and uttered gibberish at times.
Lets hope that Sarri retains his honesty and integrity ,for the good of CFC.
If you had asked me in August would I be happy to be in this position starting
December, I'd have bitten your hand off.
--------------------------
What?
We're in 4th place. About where we should be with the quality of our squad. He's topped an easy Europa League group alongside.
he's done as you'd expect. No less, but no more also. Wouldn't put his performance as manager anything above average so far. What is there to bite anyone's hands off for? This is the minimum Chelsea should have.
Thank you for your comment Wahl,next.
Like, if this was two years when we were in 1st place at this point of Antonio Conte's first season, I could understand that reaction. But we're in 4th currently. We're not overachieving or anything, we're exactly where we should be lol. No worse, but no better either.
The quality of our football this season so far, is way above some of the dreadful gash we had to put up over the past few years. I for one, am happy to float along this way in the expectation of a more entertaining (and winning) future for our club.
Erik has a point to be fair...
City are WAY ahead of anyone else...FACT
Pool are quality with a top man in charge & a top level three up front
Spuds have a nucleus of a now successful England side in their ranks and class like Erikson & son
Goonz were always going to be hugely better with Wenger gone...(but still behind us)
Sarri has won nothing thus far in his career, & is relying on a football philosophy...we are doing ok considering what we have up front most weeks
Very happy with him so far. He's not gunna be everyone's cup of tea (i.e. Erik), but he's true to himself, very honest about it, and he's precisely what we needed right now.
The thing I like most about him is his simplicity. It's quite ironic when you compare his appointment to AVB's as it was a very similar objective of changing the playing styles, but where AVB made it difficult for himself and the players to understand, Sarri's made it incredibly simple to digest. With the exception of Jorginho's role (underused in this country), there's nothing fancy about it tactically, it's easy for see what he's trying to accomplish and if fans like me can see what he's doing the players will be in no confusion at all.
Long term he will need support from those in charge of identifying transfer targets cos the current squad has holes in it and he ain't gunna change, but every reason to be optimistic.

Yeah agree with most of this. There are some similarities/comparisons with the beginning of AVB's tenure at Chelsea, but AVB lacked the maturity, man management skills and just general life experience to ever have a chance of being successful at a club like Chelsea.
I am not certain that Sarriball will work in the PL (certainly worried that it can with existing squad) but as you say, i can certainly buy into his attempt to implement his philosophy it at Chelsea because he communicates so candidly and simply in press conferences that I understand what he is trying to do.

Not sure why you are bringing Mourinho up in a convo thats nothing to do with him but as you wish too i'd say he's still doing a great job for Chelsea giving he's making damm sure we have 1 less team to worry about for top 4 this year
And stop saying us, you support Man.United
Because that's the cause of all of this. Chelsea fans threw themselves at Conte because they were so desperate to show Mourinho that they were over him only for Conte to never really care about the fans and leave. The same thing is happening now with Sarri. It's pathetic.

Absolute rubbish, even for youre standards. We took to Hiddink (first time) and Ancelotti in a similar matter, was that to "get over Mourinho aswell".
We initially took to Conte while Jose was still very much loved at Stamford Bridge, it was only the period after when he started lashing out at the club and fanbase because he couldn't cope with the fact we were walking the league with him stuck in 6th that the indifference began.
See this reception we gave Lampard

Not really. I definitely remember the fans supported Ancelotti and Hiddink, but they never were as affectionate towards them as they were towards Conte and they are seemingly currently towards Sarri. This whole 'clinginess' has only happened post Mourinho's second departure and you can see, especially when I see what people like you have to say, that a lot of it is genuinely down to a desperation to create a new hero when the fact of the matter is that they just aren't deserving of that (yet). I don't know what Sarri will achieve at Chelsea, but the fans are going way over the top to talk about how much they like him when he hasn't done anything to merit that (again, yet).
"Not really. I definitely remember the fans supported Ancelotti and Hiddink, but they never were as affectionate towards them as they were towards Conte and they are seemingly currently towards Sarri."
Are you for real? We were begging Hiddink hard to stay and created banners pleading with him to do so and called Ancelotti King Carlo,in what way was that not showing affection?
"This whole 'clinginess' has only happened post Mourinho's second departure "
No it didn't, we genuinely missed Mourinho the first time and despite him having more success than us during the period after his departure we were genuinely happy for him and some even took on his teams as their second teams, since he has left the second time the boot has been on the other shoe and it kills him and it shows with his salty attitude towards the club and supporters!!!!
"that a lot of it is genuinely down to a desperation to create a new hero "
We don't need to create one, we have one sitting next to Sarri who was a hero at the club before we knew who the hell Jose was.
"I don't know what Sarri will achieve at Chelsea, but the fans are going way over the top to talk about how much they like him when he hasn't done anything to merit that (again, yet)"
Not one single Chelsea fan has said Sarri (or even Conte for that matter) has been better for Chelsea overall than Mourinho, but what's wrong with chanting their names? And don't say because Sarri hasn't won anything with us yet or Conte didn't either when we started, because Jose himself got his name sung the first time in the third match when he, well, was still to win anything with us.
Mourinho is a boring dinosaur of a manager. He is wanted out by many supporters of man u, suppoerters that go to games that have had enough of his poor excuses and even poorer team displays. The laughable thing is he has spent money on two centrebacks just 18 months ago and now he's whineing that he needs a centreback. If I was his chairman I'd tell him to coach his players to the standard required for the money they cost.
Sarri is doing ok. He is new to the league and it will take a bit of time but we have improved in style of play which is a plus. He does not moan about funds nor slag off his players in public so that is a big plus for me. I hope he can solve the Kante/Jorginho conundrum and more importantly get the forwards scoring. I'd be happy with top 4 this year but it's not easy.
No one is gonna get Morata scoring

See, your comment has so much bitterness in it. You take multiple shots at Mourinho, just proving my point that Chelsea fans' jealousy over Mourinho is the main thing here. And the amount of support Conte got was on a different level to Ancelotti or Hiddink ffs. It was embarrassing how the fans acted towards him just because they were so desperate to replace Mourinho.
Btw, Mourinho is a bigger Chelsea hero than Zola will ever be.

"Not really. I definitely remember the fans supported Ancelotti and Hiddink, but they never were as affectionate towards them as they were towards Conte and they are seemingly currently towards Sarri."
Are you for real?We were begging Hiddink hard to stay and created banners pleading with him to do so and called Ancelotti King Carlo,in what way was that not showing affection?
"This whole 'clinginess' has only happened post Mourinho's second departure "
No it didn't, we genuinely missed Mourinho the first time and despite him having more success than us during the period after his departure we were genuinely happy for him and some even took on his teams as their second teams, since he has left the second time the boot has been on the other shoe and it kills him and it shows with his salty attitude towards the club and supporters!!!!
"that a lot of it is genuinely down to a desperation to create a new hero "
We don't need to create one, we have one sitting next to Sarri who was a hero at the club before we knew who the hell Jose was.
"I don't know what Sarri will achieve at Chelsea, but the fans are going way over the top to talk about how much they like him when he hasn't done anything to merit that (again, yet)"
Not one single Chelsea fan has said Sarri (or even Conte for that matter) has been better for Chelsea overall than Mourinho, but what's wrong with chanting their names? And don't say because Sarri hasn't won anything with us yet or Conte didn't either when we started, because Jose himself got his name sung the first time in the third match when he, well, was still to win anything with us.

See, your comment has so much bitterness in it. You take multiple shots at Mourinho, just proving my point that Chelsea fans' jealousy over Mourinho is the main thing here. And the amount of support Conte got was on a different level to Ancelotti or Hiddink ffs. It was embarrassing how the fans acted towards him just because they were so desperate to replace Mourinho.
Btw, Mourinho is a bigger Chelsea hero than Zola will ever be.
