Eden Hazard’s stunning display may not be as much as necessary for the Blues to bring the title home. With Liverpool and Manchester City keeping up their pace, Chelsea’s strikers will have to be above the rest.
Sarri would want his team to finish second to none. And alone Hazard would not be a sufficiency for the Blues to win. Giving a good chase to their title hopes, Chelsea have won by and large all matches courtesy of Hazard’s geniuses.
The Blues may be measured as the toughest team to beat but rely solely on Hazard. With a tally of 6 goals already, Hazard will achieve 40 goals, thinks Sarri. But a kind reminder to the Italian that a run of goals is not assured, look at Salah this season.
With Morata continuing his drought run and Giroud looking a bit shaky, Chelsea have the only issue to be solved. Why not keep yourself up even if the Belgian international doesn’t perform someday. Although with the touch he is in, it seems improbable.
Not to discredit Giroud for his assists and gentle touches that has helped Hazard score but as a striker you have to fulfil the added responsibility the team management showers you with, the expectations that fans want to be fulfilled every match they come to watch and the self-satisfaction you crave for after being able to score stunners.
Giroud and Morata’s rugged period have to he ceased by none other than themselves to give a staunching reply to the Pundits as well as oppositions that their dry run is over.
