I don't think both parties handled the situation well TBH. On one hand, Kepa was playing in his first final and had the chance to be the hero in the shootout. If he was okay to carry on, why couldn't Sarri just let him carry on as per normal? Why did he have to throw a tantrum? If Sarri had planned the Caballero sub pre-match for the shootout situation, then shouldn't that have been communicated earlier (unless of course Kepa decided to say fuck it at the last minute)? On the other hand though, Kepa should gone off or at the very least, went and talked with Sarri on the sub instead of letting it play out as it did. The lack of order in the final minutes there sums up this club at the moment!

Went through all that, only to lose in the shootout and with the Kepa-Sarri incident to boot. We're the gift that keeps on giving.

False 9 again! No Alonso though...

This isn't even about a bad period anymore. It's about his team management. He's been playing the same formation, making the same subs in every single game, setting us up with predictable tactics, not reacting to opponents' tactics. criticizing the players but continuing to play them, praising some players but then not rewarding them with starting places etc. We've been playing badly for months now and he's shown next to zero changes in trying to turn things around. He's just throwing the same thing out every time and hoping it goes well. We criticized the likes of Mourinho/Conte for being guilty of those in the past - I believe even you did it - so why is Sarri getting all the free pass now?

Doubt any Chelsea fan would say no to stability but the problem is, Sarri hasn't given us any reason why we should persist with him, even through the hard times. Backing the manager for the sake of it is hardly a recipe for success. This person nailed it with Sarri (although No.5 is a bit harsh). And that's without mentioning the confusing messages he's said vs his actions. He criticized them after a defeat and has gone on to play the same lot in the next game OR he went from "CHO is not ready" to "CHO is ready. I consider him on the same level as Pedro/Willian" to "I can only play CHO if we sell one of Pedro/Willian/Hazard"!

Says a lot when this is the best argument people can make on why we should keep Sarri.

We got Dynamo Kiev in the Round of 16. First leg at home!

But where did Sarri get the 'people have been praising Arsenal' part? And not to mention, he's been setting up to play like the tactical idiots we used to see with Wenger's Arsenal!

Good thing we have a manager who trusts young players...OH WAIT!

He's now comparing us with Arsenal!

Kepa has a hamstring injury...

But there have also been games where we struggled to play out from the back even with Jorginho in the team.

Guessing coming on for like 5 minutes is considered playing a match for Sarri.

On a different note, Sarri has a serious love-in with Jorginho...

Really dumb AF, especially Jorginho is very likely to still be here after Sarri gets the sack!
