We need a DoF, and not another YES MAN.

This is a charity publicity stunt. You don't think Buck pressured Sarri to play his strongest XI? People came to see Chelsea's stars, not their youth products and loanees. Sarri didn't want any of this, and it was blatantly obvious given how he reacted after RLC was subbed off.

Ban or no ban, Morata, Bakayoko, Zappacosta, Drinkwater, and Willian need to fuck off.

Given it is a publicity stunt, wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Sarri was pressured/forced by the club to play their strongest team. If not, he's much to blame. Honestly had it with this season. The fact that no one at the board level will lose their job, just shows how much RA doesn't give a fuck.

He's just referencing the article from La Gazzetta. Italy's Daily Mail.

Conte was supposedly sacked October 2016 IIRC

Fuck CM. That's Ruben's. Fuck LW as well. That's CHO's We need to be focusing on RW and ST first and foremost. After that, CB and LB.

No. They can't. It's been 6 years and 4 managers couldn't get Willian to hit 10 league goals a season. Pedro will be 32 in July Giroud and Higuain are not consistent strikers. I can't see how any manager can get the best out of them, when in reality they just arn't good enough. You're only supporting argument for Lampard, is that "he will demand respect and they will show more hunger and passion." Laughable.

Having a connection with the club is a bonus. The starting point should always be competency. Some people almost take the opposite viewpoint. Particularly with this new generation of football fans. Mental isn't it? Imagine the scenes. Our greatest ever player being mercilessly criticised 6 months in because he can't make Willian (who averages 5 league goals a season), an ageing Pedro, and Giroud firing. No thanks.

You realise we were lucky Barca and Bayern didn't thrash us then? Right? Was it our 'hunger and desire' that made Barca and Bayern miss all those chances? No. It was luck and it's something you need in football.

Convinced the bloke can't win. Even if he told the truth that the squad needs a massive overhaul, the Sarri Out brigade will complain that he is only dampening the team's morale ahead of an important semi final and potential final. Stay silent? He was asked a bloody question

You two are a bit over the top You are making it seem that players only find motivation from having a manager that is animated on the touch line or is screaming at them. What about Ancelotti or Allegri? These are professional footballers for goodness sake. If anything, they should be motivated seeing Sarri yelling at the ref for 90 minutes defending them. You are just finding excuses to the fact that our players simply aren't good enough. Conte is as animated as they come, yet we saw a total capitulation from the same players last season.

Huh? He's almost been sent off to the stands literally every game for screaming at the officials

You've just answered your own question.

They scored absolute worldies in each game. And the way this season has panned out, everything has gone their way whereas nothing went ours. Think we've hit the post how many times? A record? You can't blame that on lack of fight. That's football. They are the finished product. We aren't.

Yeah the prospect of seeing either Henderson lift the CL trophy or Spurs winning anything isn't something worth watching. Definitely passing this final.

First final I'm probably not even going to watch.

Yup. Sat back after half time after being all over Spurs. Manager to blame on this one. If this were Sarri, people would have his head.

Only goes to show that this type of football is developed through patience and the right investment.

A quality RW and a ST would improve us immensely. Maybe he sees something in our loan players as well.

As good as a defender Zouma is, you lot will be pulling your hair out watching him play out from the back. Don't even think Sarri will start him. Tomori however has a chance to impress.

Virgil Van Dijk, Nathan Ake, Sol Bamba, Lucas Digne, and Mott Doherty all have more goals this season in the Premier League...than Willian. They are all defenders.

Depressing. That will compete with Leicester/Everton/ and Wolves.

He's the exact opposite of what Barca are all about. A reactive manager far too focused on building a defensive structure and counter attacking play....with just two attackers. He's relied heavily on Messi these past two years and it's so evident with the amount of chances Suarez, Coutinho, and co absolutely waste.

Also came back from a goal and arguably should of won against a team from Germany that many hyped up about.
