the problems are many
 - the players are not good enough, now i don't do the analysis of everyone. 
- Sarri has just one ideal of football, he doesn't know other tattics or turnover, play young etc..
- But all of this derive from years from board and Roman, who are complete shit! don't know how to make a long term plan! how to investite! I hope Ratcliffe or others buy the club as soon as possible!
Roman and all his men have been great for a decade, but in last 4-5 years is a disgrace!

TRUTH!

Sarri better press the board to get new attacking players. He has to.

I don't think Sarri is like Mourinho or Conte who will press the board for transfers. He seems like the kind of manager who will just accept what he's got. Aurelio De Laurentiis recently mentioned that he didn't want to know about signings at Napoli. If he's like that, then he definitely won't take on the board, never mind trying to take control of transfers.

His arrogance and lack of rotation has cost us 10 points this season. What's Jorginho, Alonso and Willian doing starting and finishing 3 games in 6 days?? Of course they are fatigued and getting injured

Has he actually said this? I haven't heard the presser but from what I've read he made comment that he didn't know the transfer was even happening yesterday but a month ago he was asked his opinion on Pulisic and he gave a positive response.

Yikes!! We've got a coach who's indifferent to how much the board acts. FFS, Guardiola and Klopp get treated like princesses by being given the freedom and the means to sculpt the shape of the squad and we have a frea**ng yes man doormat.

The future's not looking bright. It really isn't. We truly, deeply need a new owner who's got the passion, the flame to take us to new heights. We've stagnated so badly with this current pathetic board.

There are no doubt some issues under Sarri at the moment. The reluctance to rotate, and trust other players (especially some of the younger lads) is frustrating.

I'm not sure I agree completely with the lack of a plan B. City don't have a plan B offensively but they are far better at their plan A. They also have a lot more options to choose from, rotate, bring off the bench. Sarri showed at home to City that he is prepared to change to get the result when playing a team on paper stronger than us. But we shouldn't be needing a plan B at home to the likes of Leicester and Southampton, and I don't see much he can change from an attacking perspective when we have no alternatives on the bench at present.

Where I do pity Sarri and feel he was dealt a harsh hand was the pre-season. From the delay being able to get him in, to going on tour and then our players being drip-fed back from the world cup, it was always going to be an uphill task to get him in and have good time to train and work with our players, and time to identify where we could potentially improve with transfers. Conte at least had no european football so had much more time to work on his tactics and philosophy. Sarri hasn't had any proper time since he arrived which was criminally not considered enough by the board when trying to change our style of play so drastically with a set of players who for some, had played the last 5 years under Mourinho and Conte.

I do think he needs time, and deserves a proper summer with the ability to get rid of a couple and bring a couple of players in more suited to his needs, and work tactically with some of these players. But for him to get that, he also needs to make a couple of changes himself.

Think its fair to say the panic buttons been pressed. Lol Pulisic not even here to the summer and already written off too it seems. Meltdown FC back in action! And anyone who expected a easy ride under Sarri clearly been smoking something stupid, particularly after the 2 bad seasons we had after winning the league under better more experienced managers with totally contrasting styles.

Am all for giving the manager time but problem with Sarri is, we've been down this road before with Scolari, AVB. Stubborn, rigid, persisting with things that aren't working. Keep this up and it's only gonna end one way...

Guys, give him time. It could be worse, we coukd have Unai Emery at the helm. This forum would crash if we had that guy lol.

Comparing with others just to make ourselves look good isn't the brightest of ideas.
