In regards to the latter, it seems like his team's stance has changed as it were. Time will tell

Bayern break their transfer record to sign Lucas Hernandez for £68m. They are getting with the times. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47725208

Our last three managers have had that mentality, unfortunately. We can live in hope someone has bought him an e-cigarette, giving him more time to watch football as a result.

He had shown signs of getting his shit together until blowing it at Everton. Stubbornness cost Mourinho & Conte, who both won league titles, so he won't be afford much more time.

He can't be trusted, then. If Alonso even has a sniff on Sunday, we need to be put out of our misery.

We just haven't seen it enough despite ample opportunities. Don't know if he's too scared to express himself or not up to the job.

I'd like to think the players just do their bit at this point. I can't root for a Cardiff win in the slight possibility of it ending Sarri's tenure. However, if he starts Alonso in any game aside from Slavia at home, I'm done.

Still crazy to think he started a competitive international game before a league game. Sarri can't afford to keep making obvious mistakes.

He really is the perfect professional

Pleased to see him get the call up, but I see it as an insurance policy more than anything - https://www.goal.com/en/amp/news/senior-england-call-leaves-ghanas-hudson-odoi-pursuit-in/eqzh5fqfyan61nmxm4z3rfq3m They dont want a repeat of the Zaha saga.

I know he was problematic in Naples, but we don't normally give someone as much time to succeed. 15 goals conceded in 5 away games in the league is shambolic.

I'm not sure if he's ignorant or naive. Everytime he seems to be turning a corner, we go back to square one. This can't be echoed enough. Need to be cut throat to succeed.

I just can't get over the fact that, Alonso was the only one deemed worthy enough of a start after Thursday. How can anyone defend Sarri for shit like this?

..... Alonso should be nowhere near the XI

65 mins too late

They're "tired".

Oh look! Deja vu

Aren't clinical yet again. Far from surprising, unfortunately.

Keep ignoring the obvious elephants in the room (Giroud & Odoi). Anyway, we can't be dropping any more points. This is effectively our game in hand.

And Alonso was decent against a dreadful Kiev side. I know which one I prefer.

All ifs and buts. In addition, I mentioned 3 players. Other two got a history as well? [emoji19] I don't get your need to try & defend the indefensible.

If shit goes sideways, he'll come on. Play your strongest team from the start.

He's asking for Wolves all again. This XI can't take the game to opponents. Giroud, RLC or Odoi were worthy of a start. Drop this "90 mins on Thursday" tripe.

Someone tell me Emerson is injured? Going with the predictable again

I did say we are favourites for a reason. We have a CL squad in the EL but underestimating teams is never a good thing to do.
