Following Chelsea's 6-0 demolition at the hands of Manchester City last week, there was
a huge onus on Maurizio Sarri to repair some of the damage by reaching the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
The Blues fired yet another blank against Manchester United on Monday night as they were dumped out of the competition 0-2, lacking any cutting edge despite dominating possession for much of the second half.
Chelsea have netted fewer times than anyone in the top six of the Premier League this season, despite 'Sarri-Ball' promising attacking football and an abundance of goals - as his Napoli side showed last season as they pushed Juventus all the way in Serie A.
Maurizio Sarri has arrived for his post-match press conference, and starts by saying we were unlucky with the result as we were the better team in the first half but trailed 2-0. He says our football in the second half was 'confusing' against a side who defended deep.#CHEMUN
