The Italian mentioned that he was unsure if their footballing package suits what he desires to bring to the club and admitted that their situation is not ideal.
In case you didn’t know…
The Blues saw a major transition in structure, shape and style upon Sarri’s appointment in the summer. From the alteration in formation to the type of players, the 59-year-old changed the methodology at the club.
While the likes of Ross Barkley and David Luiz have benefited, Andreas Christensen, Victor Moses, Gary Cahill and Danny Drinkwater have been pushed down the pecking order and are now on the fringes of the first-team.
The heart of the matter
Eden Hazard, on one hand, is simply irreplaceable whereas Pedro and Willian face stiff competition for the right wing spot. Hence, the chances for Moses to break into the front three look slim. Neither can he find minutes on the pitch as a winger, nor can he as a full-back - due to the presence of both Cesar Azpilicueta and Davide Zappacosta.
