In case you didn’t know…
Sarri has struggled in his first season at Stamford Bridge, with his side’s form becoming inconsistent, especially now in the business end of the season. Earlier this season, they had lost the League Cup final to Manchester City and were eliminated from the FA Cup by Manchester United. Recently, they had lost 2-0 at Liverpool and in last week’s midweek UEFA Europa League quarter-final second leg, were only narrowly able to beat Czech outfit Slavia Praha 4-3 at home. They are currently 4th in the Premier League table with 67 points, but Arsenal who are on 64, have a game in hand. Hazard has been Chelsea, best player this season, with the Belgian scoring 19 goals and setting up 13 morein 46 appearances in all competitions.
The heart of the matter
Burnley was a Scottish international, who played for the Blues between 1989 and 1997 and was a member of their 1996-97 FA Cup winning team. He is a vocal critic of Sarri’s Chelsea and was quick to point out their shortcomings after the disappointing 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.
Burnley is an admirer of Hazard but stated that he is not at par with Messi and that other Chelsea players have to take up responsibility too.
What’s next?
Chelsea will next face fellow top four hopefuls Manchester United on Sunday.
