Magic Lamps

Apart from the fact I never wanted Sarri here and that I dislike his brand of football we have to ask ourselves is it acutally worth it? Changing the identity of the club without investing the necessary money will take years of no success. And if we manage it we might be already years behind because we are hellbent on achieving a kind of football that has long been found out. Football progresses, we are still trying to reenact something that has been successful 10 years ago but is unlikely to continue to do so. If we really stick to Sarri then good fucking luck ever winning a major title again. He has never done so and never will simply, set aside his style of play, he is an average manager. Only average managers are that stubborn, unflexible and predictable. You can't tell me that failing over and over again with the same bullshit tactics is going in the right direction or rebuilding our identity or bs like that. We are making 0 progress. He has long been found out and just fails to accept that. Even if we want to play more attacking football (which for 95% of games we have been doing for 20 years now) we need a better manager with a similar style. However, it is still not to late to abort the experiment and go back to signing a counter-attacking coach who knows how to make a team defend. On a final thought, do you really think Sarri has any tricks left? Maybe we already play his kind of football. At least I don't think we are getting any closer. Maybe what we are seeing is all he has and he is just banging on about how the players dont get his football to keep his job. What if the first 6 weeks of the season we already had adopted his style perfectly and just have been found out since? Just sit a player on jorinho, attack the flanks and if we somehow make our way out from the back, pack the box and chelsea wont score.I honestly thinkt that is a possibility.

omg the thing is, if we fire Sarri, Zola will be coach who is just as shit

the only difference between these squads is that City splashed the cash right. Amost every one of their big time buys has been a hit, whilst we have like a one in three quote. just good vs bad business people running the club.

72 mins too late you old fuck

from champions to this in under 2 years. it's such an embarrassment.

5-0 bring on a fucking midfielder

Sarri is the worst coach i have witnessed so far at Chelsea I'd say. Tied with Scolari and AVB

and he would have signed graziano pelle or llorente or fuckers like that. but stil he was better than sarri.

who the fuck is zinchenko? they are honestly routing us 5-0 and not even playing mendy or danilo or some other of their 200m wingback arsenal but a youth product or sth like that.

oh shit, agüero now even scores pens regularly.

if we fire sarri soon enough, yeah

he is. a cunt but still maybe the best striker in epl history. imagine we could have had him instead of Torres.

jorginho with a jorginho shot. Neither power no precision nor technique. such a bang average player.

a league cup, fa cup and EL triple would at least salvage some pride. But i wont get my hopes up. we will wn fuck all with SArri at the helm. he is a shit coach and does not know how to win things to save his life. Sarri has been the problem from the beginning. Alonso, Jorginho, Willian, the false 9 bulsshit are just symptoms. The cancer is our shit, unflexible, medieval tactics.

I am asking myself the same. Esp after Sarri beat Pep at the Bridge with a fairly defensive tactic why is going all out to play at the Etihad? Sure the early goal killed our gameplan anyway but we looked fairly proactive in the first 2 mins anyway. Liverpool in the CL created the perfect blueprint how beat them as we did in our 2nd half performance. We might still have lost but not by that margin.

The league was stronger at the top back then IMO. We displaced the Arsenal invinclibles and SAF had great team too. Maybe over the course of the season this City team would collect more points but in a single game or a two-legged fixture, I would trust a prime Mourinho with a prime Lampard, flanked by Robben and Drogba up front to grind out a result vs them. Pep has shown that his teams are vulnerable to elite class counter attacking teams, albeit they are a juggernaut vs teams who give them space or just cant defend like us today.

well Arsenal have an awkward draw. I trust some team will kick them out.

this City team is ridiculously good tho. They really have to win the CL this year.I think just after our 2004-5 team, this City team is probably the best in the epl era.

Lol that last bit got me.

he is the worst player who has consistently started for us in the past 10 years. worse than Bosingwa, Kalou, Ivanovic in his bad days. i hate him so much as a player.

Yes rüdiger that is how you should have been handling Agüero from minute 1

lets hope we can make this a respectabel scoreline like 4-2 at last

not even winning headers vs them midgets.

Ederson has the best game of his career.

true but why should he sell us when the club is the best way he can protect his assets.
