3 Changes Sarri needs to make to turn Chelsea into title contenders

#3 - Remove Chelsea's dependence on Hazard

Chelsea depends on Eden Hazard much more than it should

One of the reasons why Manchester city was so dominant last year was because of the end product from midfield. While Aguero and Gabriel Jesus scored 30 and 17 goals respectively in all competitions last season, Manchester City's midfielders contributed a lot of goals from midfield.

Raheem Sterling - 23 goals

Leroy Sane -14 goals

David Silva - 10 goals

Kevin de Bruyne - 12 goals

Bernardo Silva - 9 goals.

Gundogan - 6 goals

Fernandinho - 5 goals

Total goals scored from midfield - 79

At Chelsea, the situation is quite different. Eden Hazard is the only player who can be expected to score more than 15 goals a season across all competitions.

Chelsea's Strikeforce has not really been delivering since the departure of Diego Costa. In addition to this is the reality that other midfielders at the club simply do not have the ability to reliably and consistently score enough goals from midfield to challenge for the title.

'The Pensioners' this season, have enjoyed possession of up to 80% in many games. However, this clear lack of end product from midfield and attack has meant that they are often unable to capitalise on it.

Sarri must bring in at least one wingers and a striker who can take some of the burdens Goalscoring off of Hazard.
