Game after game, the plot thickens.
Chelsea, dominant in the opening 45, clueless in the minutes which follow.
What on Earth is Maurizio Sarri saying to his players at half-time?
We’ve been noticing a trend of a dip in performances after the halfway mark, and now the evidence is there to prove it.
Chelsea are incredibly fragile after coming back out from the dressing room. Have a look at this, shared by bet365 on Twitter.

Sarri is a renown chainsmoker. We are genuinely concerned if he’s spending the 15 minutes tending to his nicotine withdrawal.

Whatever it be that he does during that time, it’s seriously counterproductive. This is a considerable sample size now.
Sarri needs to take a look at himself and his half-time routine and figure out the root of our continual problems.
This will not end up being a successful season if we don’t get these awful capitulations out of our system fast.
It’s a serious concern, and it needs to be dealt with.
