Bandaged Jorginho > Regular Jorginho

If only things were that simple...

Same thing...he didn't look bothered to try make an impact. Was just drifting around with the ball like Willian before.

Looked disinterested as well, if anything.

1. Got into so many good positions but failed to make them count. WHY ARE WE SO BAD AT CONVERTING CHANCES?! 2. Our corners are genuinely hopeless. Either can't beat the first man, cross into traffic 2-3 yards out from goal or play short corners that lead us to nowhere. 3. Speaking of corners, our defending at them is so bad. Were lucky that Frankfurt didn't punish us for it. 4. Why on earth did Sarri remove Loftus-Cheek from the end? We were in the ascendancy and Frankfurt were struggling to contain him but he took off the ONE threat that we had and settled for a draw. WHY?! 5. All that talk about Hazard not starting and he was near invisible after he came on. And oh, it's games like this that shows why Giroud will never be able to do it at the highest level.

What a waste of opportunity!

Don't fucking get me started on this again...

THAT kit is confirmed...

Has an Achilles tendon problem according to Sarri...

Only 2 CBs traveled to Frankfurt... https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2019/05/01/chelsea-bound-for-frankfurt

Expected to be back early next season...

Even the Bundesliga have taken mini cheap shots at Sarriball... https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/5-reasons-eintracht-frankfurt-beat-chelsea-in-uefa-europa-league-luka-jovic-3886

Essentially, you're trying to say that a stubborn person is immune to fear? Since when those two go hand-in-hand? Why then did CHO's game time conveniently increased after that Cardiff game? Given the circumstances, fans would rather lose when the manager tries out new players, players from the academy rather, players who can improve rather than keep on playing bang average players, players who are out of form. I'm making more than what it is? If that's the case, then tell me why exactly that CHO's game time went up after that Cardiff game? Funny thing about that transfer request is that it did force Sarri's hands and it did but only in January. Once that transfer window closed, it was back to what we saw before that until that Cardiff game The sack rumors did go away after getting some wins on the bounce but it also came after Sarri started playing CHO and Loftus-Cheek more than usual this month. When he didn't play them, we were not winning games, playing dull football and were going nowhere with the XI that got us into all this mess to begin with. But it's not just the sacking rumors with Sarri, is it? We've had two occasions this year alone where the fans loudly protested against him and the last time such thing happened with us was when Benitez was the manager and we all knew he was never going to succeed long term here. No manager is going to succeed long term at any club if the fans are openly against that fella.

Okay, let's pretend CHO's game time, especially in the Premier League, didn't conveniently increase after the fans' protest in that Cardiff game or fans/media pressure to play CHO after his England performances in the last international break... From the start of February till mid-March - the international break - CHO played only 267 in 8 games and started only 2 of them - both in the Europa League. After the international break or rather, after the protest at Cardiff, CHO suddenly played 275 minutes in just 5 games and started 4 consecutive league games. And oh, Sarri also suddenly plays CHO/Loftus-Cheek in a following game when rumors of him getting the sack start to crank up. Almost as if he was trying to appease the fans and save his job... Sure, but were those noises as loud as giving CHO, Loftus-Cheek more game time?

Done. Login details remain the same.

What are the club trying to do here?!

Change to...?

Because he could argue that Kante is scoring goals and providing assists in a more advanced midfield role. CHO has done well when given playing time this season, Europa League or not, but had to wait till the Bayern interest, fans/media pressure, sack threats to force Sarri's hands. And let's not forget that Sarri hardly helped himself in this situation either. In November, he said CHO isn't ready but less than two months later in January after Bayern made their interest known, Sarri suddenly said CHO is ready and that he considers to be on the same level as Pedro/Willian. CHO then got some consistent game time in January but once the transfer window closed, he didn't get that again until Sarri gave in on the pressure and sack threats in March/April.

Were it not for De Gea's blunder/If we hadn't gotten the point, would anyone really be okay with the result/performance? The performance really wasn't much of a difference to what we've seen in the big away games this season or in pretty much the whole season. Had possession but didn't create anything clear cut, not even one after De Gea's howler. In fact, we had 3 shots on target and 2 of them were from the goal - Rudiger's long range effort and then Alonso's goal. Toothless. Clueless. Hopeless. Says how low we've fallen that we are "forced" to accept the result as something okay/decent when any club with genuine ambition should be fuming of not turning over a United side who are horribly out of form.

But CHO didn't get injured because he was being played too much, did he? It was just an unfortunate one when he tried to control a loose goal kick. Sure, there was pressure to play CHO but Sarri didn't have the balls to stick his guns, did he? He made his point to not play him often but ultimately did because of fans' protests and he got scared of losing his job!

Pretty sure not everyone was convinced over Higuain. People were just happy that it's a short term fix. Sure but what does Higuain even offer? We can agree that both are terrible but like I said, between the two, it's a case of choosing the best from the worst. Give me someone who can at least contribute with 1-2 attributes over someone that can't contribute at all.

Yes but for a short term fix, we all thought Higuain was going to do fine but it hasn't turned out that way. But not all in recent seasons.

1 in about how many? And not everyone is Zlatan...
