Manchester City 2-0 Chelsea: 5 Talking Points from the FA Community Shield match

#4 Chelsea need to hold on to Hazard and Courtois

Hazard will be key to Sarri's system

Sarri started with Pedro and Hudson-Odoi to partner Morata in the attack and none of them were effective.

Pedro was poor and didn’t contribute too much going forward. Mendy regularly joined in attack, because the Spaniard had not given him any cause of concern.

On the other side of the field, Hudson-Odoi did give Walker a few moments of worry and the youngster certainly has the potential to do well. But he lacks the consistency and the decision-making abilities that are required at this level of the game and he is just a teenager.

These are things that will come with practice and experience, so he will be one for the future. Cabellero could not do much about the goals and he did force Aguero to move wide when clear on goal once, but he is not a replacement for Courtois by any measure.

As such, it is clear that Hazard is Chelsea's, main man. Coming off a stellar World Cup, the Belgian will be crucial for Sarri's system and he has the bit of magic that is required to unlock these games.

Also, with Hazard on the field, Jorginho will have the target to aim those glorious balls to, which was a facet of the Brazilian's game that was missing on Sunday.

As such, Chelsea will be looking to hold on to their main stars with all their might until the transfer window closes.
