#2 Chelsea tend to show complacency in the early stages of their games
One thing that can be spoken about with conviction is Chelsea's quality. Although they completely outclassed their opponents in the first-half to take the lead, the home side didn't start with the same urgency and intensity. Unfortunately for Sarri, it is an issue he must address because this isn't the first time it has happened this season.
They started their season away at Huddersfield. Although the score line read 3-0, Sarri's side weren't the most convincing at the back. They took time to thread passes together, commit bodies forward and break the deadlock. The match against Arsenal is an exception, as they netted two early goals.
Against Newcastle, Chelsea had to wait till the 76th minute to score past the Magpies. In the entirety of the first-half, despite seeing a lot of the ball, they couldn't quite find a way through a packed Newcastle defence. The same followed at home versus Bournemouth, when the Blues took their own sweet time to settle into the game, before realizing that they needed a goal.
