NAIL. ON. HEAD.

Sarri has a lot to answer for if Kante gets injured and misses out long term... ...then again, he probably doesn't care much since it's a chance to win a trophy before leaving for Juve!

And people wonder why Sarri gets criticized so often...

Chances are he'll put Ronaldo out wide and play Higuain as the striker.

Apparently, he didn't know and was left frustrated by it.

From that video, things hardly look as bad as the headlines would suggest...

Yeah, imagine Sarri putting Ronaldo out wide in his inflexible 4-3-3...

Hardly sounds committed to staying...

Bigger, better clubs don't experience poor spells? Man City lost something like 3 league games in 4 this past season while Liverpool blew a 7-point lead at the top (or whatever it was) by drawing 4 games in 6. Similar poor spells were also seen with Bayern, Juventus, Barcelona... Funny you mentioned Bielsa because his teams are known to start well and then fall off the cliff, which was what happened with Leeds and look at them imploding against Derby as well... Am fine with Allegri. As I said to Mana, having another season of Sarri would be like signing a death warrant, especially if the transfer ban sticks! If we can't sign anyone this summer, what makes you think we won't use our youth players a little bit more? Do you really want to see the manager flog the senior players to death again? Sarri, Lampard or whoever might be the manager can't build for the long term if they don't develop the young players.

Rudiger has also traveled with the team, with crutches and all.

Remember fellas, with Villa coming up, we'll have another bogey ground for us to go to next season...

Chances...Just like when no expected us to qualify for Champions League in April but we somehow fucking did it. And having another year of Sarri would be like signing your death warrant... So you have to get a team automatically promoted to qualify for the job? And those anti-Lampards are making this as it's the worst idea ever...

If he comes in, develops young talent and gets us to finish in the Top 4 again? A final can sometimes go either way and furthermore, it's not like Derby came up against some woeful team. Villa were in good form going into the match. All people have said is "Lampard is not ready", "now isn't the right time for Lampard" bla bla bla but no one seem bothered to even explain why so.

You talked about merit and yet you're judging Lampard based on 1-2 games rather than the entire season season with Derby... Playing the big teams? Did you see how his Derby played against us and United in the League Cup?

What must Lampard do to prove that he's ready? Manage in the Premier League? Win a trophy? It's ironic of me to say this but why do people keep on focusing on the bad side of this potential appointment? What if Lampard comes in and actually does a good job? What if he does well and prove he is more than capable of managing at the highest level already? It's a huge ask for anyone to turn this club around but if we are to do so, at least give us a manager who isn't stubborn and inflexible in his own ways.

Yes, because things will definitely get better under Sarri especially if we can't sign players...
