What did Sarri say? I agree that he should have been given game time more often this season, but he's 18 & seemingly unwilling to fight for his place after 6 months. Him being a youth product makes things 1000x worse IMO. Shows little interest in the club

What use is having someone in our squad that doesn't want to stay? Only players that want to fight for the badge should be at the club. Quite shocking considering he's a youth product, too.

No one was offering £40m~, though. I don't see the club turning that down should the rumours be true.

If he has really handed in a transfer request, let him go.

Even more reason to go for him

Looked very good for the most part. Sarri needs to ignore the physical aspect for one moment & see what he offered in just 90 mins.

Emerson can't do anymore for Giroud

We ain't getting any decisions today

Why are we so narrow defensively?

They have no clue how to use it or pure arrogance

Nice to see us offer a threat where it matters. I don't even want to mention the officiating

Sarri actually making changes. I'm shocked

I certainly hope so. Don't want to see a false nine line up again

We didn't score, though. Fielding a false nine again could result in a tight game rather than one we should be more than able to win by two clear goals, due to their absentees.

Sarri better not field the same XI & hope they turn up after his criticism.

Hope he hits the ground running

Nice conversation [emoji1303]

They alongside the same attack, so yes. His shortcomings are down to him for the most part right now. I can't beat the Willian/Alonso drum any harder, so he's next in line.

It hasn't stopped Hazard. People can't eulogise about his numbers despite our shortcomings in the final third, then use same reasoning to essentially give Jorginho a "bye", regardless of whether the former plays higher up the field or not. One rule for all

What is he, as of now? Number of passes is the only stat I see followed by his name.

The team is set up to go through him. It has very little to do with his qualities, which you seem to be alluding to.

Have you not seen match day threads for the last few months? Complaints about him have been voiced for sometime & rightly so. 90% of this board are left wondering, what he offers to the team.

I don't know how he has the nerve to talk about mentality, yet persist with someone like Alonso. Massive two weeks for him

Pathetic all round. Sarri better hope his other lovechild can hit the ground running.

DLP ticking those boxes again
