What worries me is if you watched United vs Cardif then you would have seen Martial finish a beautiful one touch move that starts from outsode the box. Probably a better worked team goal than ours are yet to produce. This is during a time that they are suppose to be going through a rough patch. Sarriball is showing glipses of what is it come but nothing that sweet yet. It's either the players are just incapable of linking together which is a strong possibilty or Sarri is having trouble interpreting his philosophy.

I do still have faith in Sarri.

And I understand totally what you're getting at but the main thing that I dont understand is we have seen the lads do some excellent DIRECT go for goal football. We kept it tight,fast,found the gaps,mmoved off the ball. And scored.

WHY OH WHY cant they remember how they did it the week before.

Its like they've been given a puzzle, worked i out but cant remember how the did it.

Off topic but speaking of puzzles Ive been following this guy doing them. Hes pretty good. I love these things. Keeps the mind active.

LOLOL

My wife watches that guy all the time, she has so many puzzles, some of them she had before he did.

She goes CRAY when they are giving her a hard time.

She tries to get me to do them, so I just brought in a box with a 65 THOUSAND page OTC derivative contract and tell her when she can short THAT out, then I will try a damn puzzle.

I first got into it after getting a puzzle lock box on holiday in India/ Only had 6 locks but it hooked me.

Maurizio Sarri channels inner Grinch after Chelsea slip up against Leicester

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/12/23/maurizio-sarri-channels-inner-grinch-chelsea-slip-against-leicester/

At Chelsea there is not much in the way of festive spirit. “For me the 25th is not important,” said the manager, Maurizio Sarri, after his side had lost at home to Leicester on Saturday. “Now I am only interested in the 26th.”

Sarri’s transformation from genial, absent-minded professor into full-on Grinch was sparked by a performance he described as clouded by “mental confusion”.

His team’s third defeat in their past six Premier League matches had come about through an unexpected inability to recover once Leicester had taken the lead through a typically clinical Jamie Vardy finish.

“It’s difficult to understand. We have players with long experience,” Sarri said. “We were in the game for 55 minutes, then two minutes after the goal we were not. If I knew why this was, I would stop it.”

It was not just Sarri who was bemused by Chelsea’s capitulation. The crowd, too, found it hard to understand how a side passing the ball with such slickness in the opening stages could suddenly misplace all precision when they went behind.

Sarri hoping to enlist sports psychologist to fix Chelsea’s mentality issues

Maybe a normal shrink would do the job for afew !

[communicate 2,703]

Anyone here follow Sarri when he was with Napoli?

I have strange feeling about most of his sub, I think he persist of playing one way only. It feel like he using this season to implement his system not to win games. I haven't seen him taking out Azpi or Alonso for a winger/strikrr when we are losing 

[Warning_Hazard 156]

sarri had better players/team at napoli! 

lets not descend into utd level plastic panic!

This upsets me

Maurizio Sarri suggests Chelsea need another N’Golo Kante
“At the moment we are too many. We have 28 players and it’s impossible to use all of them. I think 25 is the right number.

“You already know my opinion, because I’ve told you in the past. We have a lot of offensive midfielders and we have only [N’Golo] Kante as a defensive midfielder so it’s not easy now for the midfield to have the right balance.”

 

OK That might be all well and good but those offensive MF need bloody upgrading!! Whats the fuckin point of sticking 2 Kantes on the pitch when we are chasing goals?

I think he's talking about Kante backup which is probably the reason we're linked with that Barella kid.

In cup games Sarri has to play RLC-Fabregas-Barkley/Kovacic midfield and it clearly doesn't have any defensive balance at all

But dont you think Mat Kova can do that job?

Kovacic is not an AMF

he IS, however, tailor-made for Kante's position

so is Barella

Sarri's 4 3 3 is never going to be a correct fit for Kante

that is not heresy

it's the truth

Kante is the worlds best destroyer DMF

no other player is remotely close to him at that role

it is a waste and unfair to play him elsewhere

 

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

I'm sorry he has to go. We have been here before 

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Exact same team.

 

Yeah....Sarri wont be around for too long.

Embarrassing. The guys had 6 months. I hope nobody expected us to be the finished article in 6 months. He needs a January and another summer window to shape the squad more.
