Football isn't just formation and possession. Judging the ability of players, reading opponents, fitness and nutrition programs, leadership, motivational skills, tactical flexibility, experience handling star players, ability to adapt to a new league. I can go on and on.

Pep tried different formations in his first season when the results were not that good.

Well when the coach talks about players being hard to motivate Hazard is the first person fans look at and he became the scapegoat like you said.

Sarri didn't send a message to the players in that press conference. He sees them everyday. It was a message to fans and the board, implying that the results are players' fault not his.

This is where people are mistaken. They both like possession football and that's it. This doesn't make them very similar.

We have possession, we are just too predictable, easy to defend. I posted that link because people were comparing Guardiola's and Sarri's first years. Guardiola is flexible, Sarri isn't.

They should put you in charge of tickets.

It reminds me Morata vs. Drogba first season comparison. Good luck Mana.

Ok, the players are bad, but is Sarri, who thought Alonso is the best left back in Europe the guy to solve our squad's problems. If you look at the managers who have been successful at PL recently unlike Sarri they are all obsessed with nutrition and fitness. Also can you imagine Guardiola like this after a loss? Sarri should be coaching smaller teams at weaker leagues where the tempo is slower and there is less competition. People talk about Terry and Lampard but I don't think they would have a lot of respect for this guy.

Spurs scored. Tonight is like a nightmare.

4-0

Marlboro Moyes. I just saw this on twitter.

Sarri OUT

Watford scored

We don't need another player who talks like this. Memphis Depay: "I always talk about Real Madrid. It's a royal club, with a white and gold shirt, but right now I'm focused on Lyon...then we'll see where I end up."

No wonder he wants to leave London as quickly as possible.

After such huge failure I agree it is not right to blame only one person. I was arguing for a similar overhaul at Chelsea after Mourinho's last year.

And Emenalo as DoF had nothing to do with his appointment, right?

Well I hope Emenalo finds an honest boss soon. Maybe then he can keep his job after the team collects 15 points in 21 games.

So he scapegoated Emenalo because he is corrupt, makes sense. The team is 19th after 21 games.

Obviously Monaco board thought it did not work there either.
