We played exactly like Sarri wants to play in the first half. Quick passing and with intensity. And Emerson had a big role in that as Alonso (and Willian) would have slowed down our game yet again.
It's simple: If Sarri wants Sarriball then he must choose players that are suitable for that system. And that means no Alonso
If only we would have had Higuain in this game.....
It's so obvious that people are making our problems sound worse than they truly are. What this team simply needs is a pure goalscorer and thank god we have finally signed one
Yep this deal for that kind of money would have made no sense. Rather use that 50M to buy Ben Chilwell (he should be the real priority!)
I'm also excited to see more of Ampadu. Apart from that one own goal he has been nothing short of excellent every time he has played
I like this deal a lot and I'm expecting big things from him. He's exactly what we need right now (although few years younger and a bit faster version of Higuain would be even better)
If you look how Hamsik played at Napoli under Sarri, he was basically playing as a second forward at times, running into space etc. Barkley in theory should be a good fit to play that LCM position but for some reason it just isn't happening
