Looks like Sarri was taking the piss...

WTH?!

Score 2 goals? We would be lucky to even see 2 shots!

Yeah. Wonder who the other club might be...

I know that's always the case with us but not this time. It's Milan's deal with Genoa for Piatek that is causing the delay here. That needs to happen first before we get Higuain and then allow Morata to go to Atletico.

You know things are bad here when the media start to pile stories like that on us...

Jack is wrong there. They changed the rule this season. https://metro.co.uk/2019/01/08/do-away-goals-count-in-the-carabao-cup-semi-finals-8322786/

No away goal rule. No extra time. If the score is level on aggregate after 90 minutes, it goes straight to penalties.

With comments like these, it's little wonder that Hazard has never really improved and is just stuck at a good level with little consistency... https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/8247956/chelsea-hazard-sarri-mourinho-frustrated/

"Chelsea's players are believed to remain broadly supportive of Sarri, although the Italian's tactical stubbornness -- not least his continued deployment of Eden Hazard as a False No.9 -- has caused concern both at Cobham and among the club's fanbase."

Meanwhile at Napoli...

Talking about the bigger picture here. Him playing as the false nine has nothing to do with this.

Kudos to Sarri not trying to take City/Liverpool with an open attacking approach but ironically, we drew with Liverpool and beat City with a Mourinho/Conte-esque approach.

Just pray it gets done by this Wednesday, 12pm.

The bigger point here is that Hazard has never pushed himself, like Messi/Ronaldo, to be even better, to elevate himself to the next level. He's good but it feels like he's just stuck at the same level year in year out. And the consistency has been a big issue as well.

Really? You're just gonna ignore the fact that one plays much higher up the pitch and one plays much deeper? .If people want Jorginho to rack up the assists, he would have to get forward a lot more but if he does that and is caught out, people would then moan about him leaving gaps defensively for opponents to expose. Feels like because we have big issues in the team, people are just looking for more issues by asking players to do something that's not their main job.

Had Jorginho gone to City, you lot here would be slamming Marina for messing up the transfer and not backing the manager! On the assist count, said it before, how do you expect him to get the numbers when Jorginho has incompetent finishers ahead of him? You can't complain about us having no goalscorers and then complain about players not racking up assists at the same time.

It's futile trying to convince people otherwise. People want to bin Jorginho simply because he's seen as Sarri's love child.
