Chelsea losing 4-0 to Bournemouth would never have been on the lips of any pundit before the game on Wednesday but after the game, the players and the technical team will look back on what they could have done differently.
Many things could have changed the direction of winners in that game at the Vitality stadium.
One of those is Callum Hudson-Odoi. Had the youngster started, his trickery on the wing may have opened up chances for the Blues attack and maybe Gonzalo Higuain would have something to run onto. Sarri must take the blame for the result even though the players looked at times disinterested in the fight.
Chelsea fans will be annoyed by the fact they have lost 4-0 to a midtable side and reduced to fifth in the Premier League standings but what will concern them more is the fact they have tasted their biggest defeat since 1996 when they lost 5-1 to Liverpool as revealed by Sky Sports Statto on Twitter.
