Cahill says the Blues are in a ‘good place’ after bashing through to the top of the Premier League table.
Antonio Conte’s decision to switch the formation to a 3-4-3 is seen as a major factor behind their excellent rise in form.
However, Blues defender Gary Cahill believe the players deserve a lot of credit for adapting to the new system and improving on last year’s dismal efforts.
“It’s fantastic,” Cahill said.
“The mood in the camp at the minute, everyone’s spirits are high. Everyone will tell you that playing in a winning team is easier. The run that we’re on is brilliant so I hope it continues. We’re full of confidence.
“What’s going right is a number of things. Obviously people will touch on the change in formation, but there’s the way we’ve adapted to that formation and the players we have in the team, ultimately.
“A lot was made of last year and rightly so. We had individuals, the majority, under-performing compared to the levels they usually set.
“This season we are hitting the levels we should be setting. I’d be lying if I said I thought we’d be sitting pretty at the top of the table, but I certainly would have expected to be up there competing.
“We’re in a good place.”
