Azpi: Chelsea are inconsistent

Azpi disappointed me big time today.He was the first one to congratulate Kepa after the ET  and even argued with Sarri while Rudiger was the one holding  our manager and trying to calm him down.Captain material,my a*s!

Shit captain

[Blue Armour 4,436]

Stupid.

Anyway I hope this was just a one off.

We have bigger fish to fry and dont need more soap operas. 

Things can be sorted out after the season. We dont need a Conte Costa type situation midway

Azpi has been a fantastic player for us over the years but how the fuck he is captain, I will never know. He has gone into hiding in the last few weeks and yesterday he completely let down Sarri and the Club full stop. He could have defused the situation between Kepa and Sarri but instead stood and watched from afar. He doesn't have leadership im his bones.

What, he was struck blind for a good few minutes? Azpi didn't say he didn't see it, he said he was on the other side of the pitch.

Just saw that Azpi was apparently 3/4 up the pitch, waiting to take a throw-in. May explain why he may have seen it but not understanding what the hell was going on. That said, doesn't look good on his part that he didn't do anything.

He is trying to hard to be something he is not! Didn't even knew do we want to take penalties first or not.  Had to ask someone. Even fat ref laughed at us.

The shit drama aside, Azpi is a low-key great penalty taker!

 

doesnt hide the fact he's a shit captain and a poor motivator. That Kepa-Sarri debacle summed it up, Terry would never had allowed that shit to happen.

I noticed this too. Never have I seen our previous captains do this.

Just on that incident you highlighted, Azpi no doubt should have tried to diffuse the situation earlier but he had a right to confront Sarri there. The players were trying to prepare and focus for the shootout and Sarri was still going mad over the earlier incident. He had a right to be angry but should have focused on the matter at hand at that point of time first. He's the manager, be the leader your players are looking at, be the bigger man. Deal with the shootout and then go pissed off at Kepa for all you want. Can't believe he even threatened to just ignore the pep talk after that. What a fucking farce this whole situation is!

Sums up the lack of communication between the coaching staff and players yesterday. These kind of things should have been discussed beforehand. Instead of having a proper preparation for the shootout, Sarri was still trying to have a go at Kepa, Rudiger had to hold him back and god knows what everyone else was thinking at that point.  

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I like Azpi alot, but he is steadly going in the wrong way.

Almost the weakest link in defense bar Alonso on number of ocassions and as a captain he is far from being a great one. 

No one can blame him for being average going forward, but his defending and captaining have gone down big time. He had some great games, but unlike previous seasons he doesnt look half as secure in defence. 

And loses his shit so often when we are down, just look his performance vs United. Awful behaviour for a captain. He acted like a rookie, not a seasoned player. 

What happened yesterday was unbelievable. Zero communication between him, Kepa and Sarri. 

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Kepa is obviously his friend, and he was never going to undermine him for Sarri. 

 

Poor captain.
