Icardi, should Hazard move on. It's the most logical option out there & has been prior to even signing Morata.

None really, but they can be worse than the those that played last night. CHO, RLC, AC & even Ampadu should warrant a look in. We can't keep fielding an almost identical XI & magically expect players' attitude to be different.

Ideally. The club have thrown enough money down the drain as of late.

You can see from the Alonso saga that he's arrogant/stuck in his ways until a point. Comparing him to arguably the best manager to grace the league is a nonstarter. There was one point tonight that Hazard gifted the ball to Brooks in the middle of the park, and just jogged back. We honestly don't need the same shit when times are rough from our supposed "leaders". To freshing things up and possibly have players show some commitment to the cause. When did Sarri last make sweeping changes?

Someone in their 60's ain't going to change unless forced too. The best we can hope for is a notable shake up in squad selection, as there's no chance he's changing his formation/tactics. I honestly don't know how we can expect anything with that midfield. Our most defensive midfielder has the highest tally. [emoji19]

We're in a similar predicament now & there's one constant. Sarri has to pick a team that actually has the eagerness to play.

Most of this squad did the same with Conte only a matter of months ago. We really should have someone in charge that won't accept mediocrity. How many of the XI will be dropped on Saturday? Two/three tops

I was going to say exactly that. Throw a "nobody" under the bus, instead of dropping the main culprits.

This could honestly be a sackable result

Back to back league defeats. We are throwing away our top 4 hopes

Entire team playing without any tempo & we are paying for it

There it is. Need to actually wake up now

We can't be ineffective upfront and so open on the counter. This is only going one way right now, so we have to buck up our ideas.

Hope so. A number of rumours going around as to why he's been left out. I'm sure we will get an answer at FT.

That is very surprising

Strongest XI selected. No CHO could mean a few things

The team picks itself really. Emerson has to start

There's calculated risks (Michy) & throwing money at the wall (Baba) in the hope it sticks. Piatek came from the Polish league with decent numbers despite playing a weakened league, but there was no fanfare about him from his fellow countrymen, let alone those outside. Players can't solely be judge on form, as it's temporary. Just look up Diagne (has 20 in 17 league games and was once on Juve's books). Where's the queue for him? Piatek won't be short of suitors, should his form carry over at Milan.

All ifs and buts right now. The club has taken enough gambles in the last 4 years with very few paying off.

I certainly wasn't comparing him to Higuain. Just replying to someone that mentioned him as a better fit. Any player "new to the scene" should have an entire season under their belt at least. Far too many one season wonders over the last decade.

He failed to score against Juve, Milan, Inter & Napoli prior to his move too. Reason you can see why the hype cooled down once the window opened.

I'm sure more team would have gone for him, if he didn't have that dry spell. Probably at the best place to continue his growth, though.

Nothing new. Can't believe anything you read during the crazy season tbh

Money isn't an issue for them, so a 6 month/1yr fix will do them fine.

I don't have much faith were the board is concerned. This potential ban puts us in limbo
