Nice goal Jorginho

This midfield is always going to vulnerable with Jorginho.

Who was even supposed to be picking him up? Emerson?

Willian has been really good. Know its against championship quality, but still good.

Should have let Willy start. The issue with keepers, starting with Courtois, is people thinking its a birthright. He should have to force his way back in.

Sarriball is back!!!

Good half. Kept them out.

Son killed Kovacic there....

We always needed a result here. Changes nothing.

That was a good tackle by Lamela there. Jorginho gotta be quicker.

Fantastic confident keeping by big willy.

Hazard chose to kick the ball out rather than pass to an overlapping Alonso...good choice.

It was actually one of his solid performances.

Never would have guessed I would have agreed with the bold 2 months ago, but now? Yeah he should. Turning 30 next season I think his pace is only going to get worst. He was never the quickest fullback even younger, but now its really apparent.

I dont think it was a misunderstanding at all, and I think the fine is proof of that.

If its just a misunderstanding why would he be fined? Wouldnt it be the doctors job to explain things? Or were they both full of shit?

Kepa is obviously his friend, and he was never going to undermine him for Sarri. Poor captain.

Giant balls isnt getting pushed around by a 24 year old keeper...its the exact opposite actually. He let the world know who runs things in the dressing room, and it certainly isnt him. Nobody will respect him after that, if they did in the first place.

no matter the reason Sarri is going ballistic and he isnt coming off. It looks really bad, and Sarri looks worse playing it down. He's a pushover. If he thinks he can survive here being a pushover or somebody the guys like instead of respect than he need only look at Robbie.

Thing is, even if it was a misunderstanding, who is he to say no to a substitution? Does he think he is teflon don? That he is the unsubbed one?

Where is the medical staff? Everybody is sitting down chil but him and Zola. He was calm enough to be spoken to when the ref called him down. Why didnt anybody speak to him then if this was the case?

His staff was sitting down next to him comfortably. Why werent they speaking to him during this period? Did EVERYBODY just stop doing their job? Looking at the full incident again it just seems like Sarri is trying to play this down because he knows he cant win this fight.

He's lying. He had to know it wasnt a cramp when Rudiger had to hold him back from him. He was standing next to his doctors well before that. Its sad honestly.

So its a given management came to him and said: "He's our record goalkeeper signing, you are a manager whose won nothing. fall back" Kepa is the first name on the team sheet wednesday against spuds.
