Here Hazard is being played centrally, a position, which at present, he does not seem well suited, but Sarri has deemed this shift necessary given his lack of faith in both Morata, and Olivier Giroud. Upon Sarri’s arrival, Hazard was played primarily on the left-wing, which seems sensible, as he is a similar player to Insigne – providing goals, link play, and assists, while cutting inside – but Sarri was clearly hoping he could convert Hazard, as he did Mertens, to a more central role, as a means to solving his problems in front of goal. Unfortunately, Hazard has been less effective as a false-nine and is clearly happier on the flank. Recently the idea of Giroud playing there consistently has been floated, but it seems unlikely, as the Frenchman is not technical enough, lacks explosive pace, and while he is strong in the air, that means little in a system predicated on keeping the ball on the grass. Morata is more technical, and explosive, but his inability to finish has been a point of frustration, and the Spaniard now looks to be moving on during the January window. Ultimately, Chelsea need to find someone who can play this position, and it seems as though they are going to endeavour to find that person in the transfer market.
