Manchester City 6-0 Chelsea: 3 takeaways as City thrash the Blues to go top of the table | Premier League 2018-19

#2 Lackadaisical performance from the Blues

Sarri looked despondent.

When Maurizio Sarri replaced Antonio Conte at the start of the campaign, there was hope and expectation of a new brand of football around the Stamford Bridge. The Italian became a hit in the initial days as Chelsea went toe to toe with City and Liverpool for the title.

However, as the season progressed, the Blues lost momentum with the manager criticizing his players of lack of motivation and enthusiasm. Chelsea has been poor away from home against the top six sides and today was another shambolic display from Maurizio's side.

Chelsea came into the game with Champions League spot up for grabs but their performances looked anything but a top six side. Man City's passing and movement was a nightmare for the Chelsea defenders as they conceded four goals in the first half.

On the other hand, when they had the ball, the Blues didn't look like scoring which made the performance even more disturbing for the fans.
