4 things we learned from Huddersfield Town 0-3 Chelsea

#4 Positive early signs

Maurizio Sarri

As clichéd as it may sound, it is too early to make any predictions. This Blues side is a work in progress, and will only get better as the season progresses. Key players are still working their way towards full fitness, and new signings are also finding their feet. However, some positive early signs cannot be ignored.

Pedro and Willian looked better than they were last season, and Chelsea's distribution from the back was fluid. Midfield to attack is also an area of concern as Chelsea still lack the surgical precision needed to carve out Premier League defenses.

Such cohesiveness will only come with time. Eden Hazard could be the player who finds another level in his development as the Belgian completed more than six dribbles in his 20 minutes cameo. Even N'Golo Kanté might unlock his attacking potential, and his goal against Huddersfield might be an indication of things to come.

Chelsea's impressive win over Huddersfield gives some breathing space to the manager as he seeks to replicate his exploits with Napoli. The Italian surely has his task cut out as he looks forward to the new season.

The former Napoli coach will be hoping his new team learns his system quickly because every team will not be as easy to beat as Huddersfield Town.
