Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri: Where I want greater consistency

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri admits he's seeking defensive consistency from his team.

Sarri believes his team have found stability at one end of the pitch and now need to do so at the other.

"We are looking more consistent in terms of defensive solidity, first of all," Sarri said. "We are conceding less than before. In this moment the most important thing for us is to be solid.

"We are more consistent with our results, but not at the moment with our performances, especially in the offensive phase. Sometimes we have played with very good quality in the offensive phase, sometimes not. Now we need to start in the offensive phase playing every match with the same ideas.

"At the moment we are not able to do this, because sometimes we are without movement without the ball, sometimes we didn't attack balls in the box very well, and sometimes we didn't attack spaces behind the line of the opponent very well. We need to have consistency in this."
