Sarri But Not Sarri Thread

[Special Juan 27,439]

He's just signing his own death warrant really, he knows and we know he's a dead man walking and its days away.

Lol... 

Some members would flock this thread and continue backing this smoking clown... 

Mentality again... I wonder what will be going on in the mind of Hazard after the piss poor shit performance of Alonso particularly against City yet Sarri keeps playing him...

That presser was a bit delusional.  We havent played well Sarri since City at all.   It's not a change of personnel but mentality?  Nice one, pass the buck to the players.  

 

It's getting silly with him now.  He is getting tedious

The players thought's like that of Rudiger are going against what Sarri is saying. You can se the divide just based on two quotes.

This is just madness right now.

These are little bits from an article i read on him, makes whats happening now no surprise

 

He’s an integralist, so I doubt he’ll change something. It would require admitting that his style isn’t perfect and I don’t really see that happening either

There is a complete lack of self-criticism in this. Again, he ends up talking about the mental aspects, about players not being motivated, he says that tactics aren’t the reason for losses or shortcomings

Many managers have succeeded in their careers by working more on the mental than the tactical side of the game, yet he believes that tactics are his only duty. It’s a way of deflecting criticism onto the players and it’s a way of not admitting that there might be anything wrong with him. If anything doesn’t work, it’s up to the players. If they are not cold-blooded, motivated, if they don’t have the right mentality, there is nothing he can do in his mind.

He hasn’t struggled much in Naples, but when he has, he has never taken the blame, except in random, superficial and very generic “it’s everybody’s fault”. I don’t remember him admitting a single mistake over three years.Yet that allowed him to pretty much claim that Napoli’s playing personnel was just not good enough. He also blamed Napoli’s president for not speaking out in complaining about referees or the calendar, in the past. It’s just something he does: he moves the subject of the discussion and will call out random people for random reasons. When he struggles, he’ll point the finger elsewhere.

Basically it’s anything but his fault. A lot of people actually bought on the perception that Napoli’s players were extremely poor and everything was thanks to Sarri. Even those who accept that Ancelotti is doing well are mostly saying that it’s because Sarri made players better.

It has to be pointed out that Sarri did well with Empoli and Napoli, but his past is littered with failure and firings in the Italian lower leagues.

I never appreciated his complete lack of accountability, flexibility and adjustments. I liked some of his coaching aspects and I liked the fact that he wanted to play offensive and attractive football, but none of what is happening is entirely surprising to me. But so far it has gone in a predictable way. If he doesn’t change something, he won’t finish the season.

 

 

I have randomly picked parts out and pased them here, but reading just those snippets, you see that the current mess is not a shock.  I think somewhere in the article the author admits Sarri does not use youth, either

All from a Napoli fan, or expert

yeah and now napoli has 10 points less then last year in serie A, lost in the coppa italia, lost in the champions league. 20 K people at the stadium against 50-60 K,  a complete success without sarri

1. The players have bad mentality.
2. I can't motivate the players.
3. The players don't show enough aggression.
4. My system is not the problem, it's the players.
5. We don't have enough time.

Sarri's list of excuses is getting longer and longer...

Think he found Jose's 101 handbook of excuses in the office

Sarri on Kante's position: "It depends how you see football. In that position I want someone to move the ball very fast. This is not the best characteristic of N'Golo" #cfc

mmm what a load of Michael Ballacks ,jorginho can maybe pass the ball sideways and backwards but he is hardly speedy gonzales nor savy enough for the prem and forget about anything in a attacking sense , and the dm position/role , hello , have someone who is excellent in that role, ohh yeah we do! A manager with jokes becomes the joker.

[0007 511]

Sarri is digging his own grave. I can't believe he sees players' mentality as the only problem - now this is delusional... I am still in the  "SarriIn" camp, but statements like these are getting on my nerves. 

The sad part is I don't expect any changes to the line-up come Sunday, but even the most stubborn ones sometimes can see the light so there is still hope . 

[mccg 1,528]

Sarri on Chelsea's problems: "It's not easy because we have no time, but we're trying to solve our problems. We're trying to talk with the players, to avoid some mistakes by video. It's not easy because we have to play every three days" #cfc

mmm Shiite , saturday 2 feb  > sunday 10  feb prem game ,there was a good 8 days to sort things out, mmm thats right 6-0 biggest loss in our prem history!

PLS Sarri. See the light already.

 

It's not like this 4-3-3 is his number one formation through his career. He came to Napoli with his Empoli 4-3-1-2 and tried to force it only to realize that he didn't have the players to execute that formation. He should have realized by now that he doesn't have the players to execute 4-3-3 at Chelsea and finally try something different with different players. Sigh

[Special Juan 27,439]

He keeps talking about time and not much time to train due to games etc, this isn't a brand new problem it's months old.

If he wasn't going to change weeks back he isn't now. He has stated it's a player mentality issue and it's not the system, so he's going to continue with the system and trying to brainwash them.

He's fucking thicker than a castle wall.

I'd drop Jorgy and play Barkley on the right hand side of Kante, he is another player playing out of position and wrong side his stronger foot is his right. Might as well drop Pedro and play Giroud fun fun fun

I would say its years old, the more successful you are the more games you play(how any games have m.city played?!) , alas the squad should have been sorted for that. letting Fabregas go in January was criminal and not using him more ditto, hindsight may prove how critical this season that was.
