5) The use of Odoi. Callum Hudson Odoi is a big talent, and I really like this kid. He's allowed to play in cup game far more than in EPL. He provided much more width and pace for the team, and he's amazing at cutbacks and cross in. There is a need for that as both Chelsea's strikers, Higuain and Giroud, are very good at heading, and without proper services, they can't produce results!
1) In Epl, the tempo is much faster, and it is a very physical league. The brain behind Sarri's gameplan is always Jorginho. And that guy is not suitable for EPL, I am not saying he's not a good player, it just does not work for him and the team.
2) In EPL, every single team know the first thing to play against Chelsea is to man-mark Jorginho, and once he's out of the game, Chelsea would struggle. There is a solution for it by playing Kante in that holding position or even Roben Loftus Cheek, but Sarri is very stubborn in his strategy.
3) In cup game, teams are playing at much higher stake, as a single game loss can decide the fate of the tie, whereas in EPL you have 38 games to play for.
dynamo just didn't really up for this match.
Does it mean that they take this competition more serious than Epl or teams here aren't strong enough than teams in the Epl?
Also this game is easy just like the first one. The level of competition is a lot different in the prem

This kid Hudson Odoi is amazing, I have no idea why Chelsea did not utilize him more, IMO he's better than the 30-years-old Willian or Pedro for that fact. Losing him would be devastating for any team, I mean Chelsea has to do everything to hold on to him. He will be soon at WC level.
Both Ruben Loftus Cheek and Kante had great performances today as well, they controlled the midfield with ease. Now, maybe it will give Sarri some food for thought as sticking with Jorginho all the time is not the solution. Now, I understand some Chelsea fans pain :P .
