But it will take at least the first 10 games to gel the team and get them playing well from the back.Jefferson: So disappointed, I was looking forward to seeing a different approach with Maresca in charge....

It's not what Conor Gallagher is, it's what he represents.In a past era of Chelsea, accepting a £33m offer for him from Atletico Madrid would elicit far less of a reaction than it has now.Gallagher is a committed, passionate and solid performer. But he is not remarkable. His homegrown status elevates his standing among supporters beyond where he would rank on ability alone. Understandably so.But this is not a Chelsea that boasts a midfield containing a Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack, Michael Essien, Claude Makelele, N'Golo Kante or Cesc Fabregas.
