Ohhh shit don't remind me of Bosingwa and Kalou!!!!

Fucking Barkley this is gonna be horrendous. Kovacic is much better at beating the press both dribbling and passing. Oh well I don't want Liverpool to win the league. I'm looking to destroy United in the cup though

He knows what he wants but hasn't signed a contract and it's February. Unless he wants to sign but waiting yo see if we get CL, the best inference is that he wants to leave. Hardly an overreaction just good thinking

On that video posted of Napoli's play. I agree with points already made about movement of the ball. Obviously crucial. However, just as bad (if not worse) is our cowardly choices on the ball. Watch that ball into Hamsik's feet before he lays the ball back. It's in a space surrounded by Juve players. It's a risky ball and you need trust that he can do something once he gets it. Then the return pass to Hamsik is under pressure, quick and again not an easy pass. In other words, they took more RISK than the first few passes in the video. Risk takes courage and trust. But our players lack that completely. Higuain will make good runs all day long. Nobody is even looking for them, and if they do will they risk losing possession or play the more shit cycle ball? Kante and Kovacic won't. They are looking to just keep the move moving. Barkley is worse most times. They more scared of losing the ball. Watch the recent match. Any pressure and the ball is sent back to the cbs. ANY pressure. It's ridiculous. If they play more forward passes under pressure, then movement will become obvious. The player pressing you HAS JUST LEFT SOME SPACE. Two or three forwarding passes under pressure and suddenly the pitch opens up. TL;DR all cms, fullbacks and even our wingers shit their pants when slightly pressed attempt not even somewhat difficult passes under pressure.

And I can't say if he's fulfilling he's responsibility on the training ground or not. From the massive exposure he was getting in pre season he was. I'm not inclined to doubt he has stopped now. Why should hazards refusal to release the ball go down to Sarri's failure as a coach as opposed to Eden's stubbornness? Why should Barkley's slow, simple and toothless performances go down to Sarri not coaching properly instead of Barkley having no courage and going into his shell? He has chosen Pedro over Willian, but how many games does Pedro trip over the ball or dribble into the a counter attack against us? Does Ruben take his chances? Or did he fuck around with flicks on the edge of our box, needlessly losing possession when losing at home to Leicester? I agree with others. Our players are either limited or just aren't suited to his football.

Someone mentioned 'vertical tiki taka'. We absolutely don't play that way. It's slow and side ways. Sarri is spot on with too many players having their back to goal. That means no is making runs. Which means the opponents know where space is and can plug it. Kante, believe it or not, does that well. Just look at his chance. Kovacic isn't working. Hazard just wants to carry the ball to the box. We need quick and EARLY passing

Good on him for apologising. That shit show was down to spineless prideless babies. We've played far more dangerous counter attacking teams that didn't get a sniff. Not creating clear chances, slow passing. Fine, Sarri is a big cause for that. Lazy fucks that leave just 2 cbs back is not and has never been sarris tactics. No one even tried to take them down in their own half.

Good on him. If you get fired go out swinging. I like how he went brutal after arsenal and I like him giving a 40 minute bollocking. I fucking love Italian managers

No sarri yet?

Keep em coming boys! That's brilliant

Guys PLEASE try and find a link to the presser. If Sarri doesn't go scarface I will really be depressed

Sarri is spot on the players have no intensity

C'mon Sarri. I'm still your supporter. Demonstrate that Italian passion and go fucking nuts in the presser 'Hazards idea of pressing is sprint and then stop 5 yards from them' 'Azpi only crosses when other players refuse to make themselves available for a pass 'Kovacic slips more than he tackles' 'Pedro's best movement was trying to recover the balls he lost' 'They couldn't motivate a crack addict to take a hit'

I'm looking for crunching tackles now. Stick Rudiger and Luiz in midfielder Jorginho as our 1 cb.

Seriously I don't blame sarri for casual attitude

I'm looking forward to playing at Old Trafford

Ruben is the next Iniesta

Alonso is our messiah

Lol this isn't the first time I've seen you write this. Come back in August mate

We're gonna beat City in the final. No doubt

Guys when football fucks you up learn to laugh and not get too depressed. Who's got some good jokes?

To get drunk take a shot every time kovacic slips

I'm officially a Jorginho hater.

Should have taken kovacic off for Giroud

I'm honestly fine with Hazard going. And kovacic. And Pedro and Willian. I'd like some players that fucking move off the ball.
