Not many managers can boast attackers who come in to the team to do a fine job when called upon to start games or to move in as substitutes when the going gets tough.
Time and time again this season, Maurizio Sarri has swapped his forwards to suit the opposition and after five Premier League games, the mood is great at the club especially between the attackers. Forget what Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata have got going in the striking department, it is in the right wing position that I feel the hottest battle is ongoing.
Pedro has come in from the bench to produce magic in front of goal and has at times started games to equally devastating effect. When the Spaniard was involved from the start against Cardiff, he failed to create or score a goal but Sarri wasn’t worried. He brought on Willian and the Brazil star created Chelsea’s third goal, and also scored a screamer to add the icing on the cake.
His display will give Sarri headaches this season as to who to stick with on the right of attack, but it seems the Italian manager has got it all figured out. He will rotate them to match the opposition but in equal measure, he will reap fine results almost all the time, judging by these early performances.
