Win Sunday and Wednesday and he will probably be ok.  Weird as it sounds i dont think tonight will have aided his cause at all.

I really want to think we will win Sunday

Absolutely agree with everything you’ve said. The “2)” should be highlighted as the main reason for everything’s going on right now. Most of them abandoned his style since like October. THIS IS AND ALWAYS WAS THE PROBLEM. The players! They have left Sarri alone for months now and I agree with a folks here on he’s not helping himself with some decisions and I’m not talking about switching to another system or formation.

I’ve been watching Napoli more or less on regular basis because of him since 2017 and I’ve liked everything I’ve seen there. I’ve been thinking millions of times how I would like to see Hazard and Willian to both moves like Insigne, Mertens and Callejon or to have their instinct for a right movement at the right time but at same time I had more doubts then actually been convinced in my head that they will ever be that good/useful like Napoli duo under Sarri. I won’t even touch other areas.

Maybe some players wasn’t happy with their playing time here and others wasn’t the best students but it’s how it is, man up. If you earn millions per year and you can’t respect the way your coach wants you to play and it’s an attacking football ffs, then I piss on your professionalism as professional football player and on every single one of these players. They should all dishwash in some restaurant, because for me, not respecting the boss is like not respecting the club!

I would only add that the board and the fans COULD give Sarri all the time in the world he would never turn things around with this players UNLESS Chelsea sign some proper players for his system in the future. He’s the coach who can ONLY operate if he has the right players for every single position on the field because his system is same like Pep’s but doesn’t necessarily means he needs the very top players just the right characteristics from every single one of them. They are modern managers and they play football with all 11 players as everyone is VERY important or they struggle. Simple as.

Absolutely no point having Sarri here if he’s going to use this particular squad (without RLC who’s always injured now and CHO who’s probably gone) long term. It’s a waste of everyone’s time. And Roman knew this perfectly good but still fought hard to get him. What he couldn’t expect, logically, is how the hell this escalated on this level that groups of fans will be singing “fuck sarriball” at SB. This was the lowest moment for me. These are the worst. Were all glorifying that moment when Roman brought Sarri in and now, 6 months later, they’re saying he’s clueless because he has to play week in and week out fucking Alonso, Azpi, Luiz, Rudi, Willian, Morata at the time, Pedro, Zappa etc... Just look at these, if they are a car industry they would all be OPEL.

 Sarri only did one thing terribly wrong this season and this is not giving more playing time to CHO. RLC was injured for months now, nothing he can do. Yes, Emerson should play more but he’s suspicious if you ask me. Maybe Sarri choose the lesser evil on that LB position. Who could really tell. 

Thats bullshit. Not everyone here glorified that moment. Actually few did. It was dumb as fuck to pay money for such a shit manager and I called that way before we did.  Stop inducing from yourself to everyone.

And he did way more things wrong. Just vsisit the match chats, his errors are clear for everyone to see. And only because he did those things before does not mean they were not mistakes. Sarri is just a slow slow learner. much slower than the coaches around him. Tehy have adadpeted to his style within weeks but he still has not realized how useless his tacitcs have become.

Have heard that before but has Sarri heard of the phrase "action speaks louder than words"?

Guessing coming on for like 5 minutes is considered playing a match for Sarri.  

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

3 more days and we find out if anything has sunk in with Sarri

Kick Alonso to the reserves for the rest of the year, and start CHO most every game (hell try Willian at AMF even, it is where he started), plus play Ampadu a shit tonne more, hell play him at RB for the turgid Azpi or even to backup Emerson.

THEN we can talk, bifter boy.

Alonso OUT is non-negotiable. Same with playing CHO.

Fuck yer sorryball, your decisions are helping to destroy the club.

Whoever was the trigger-puller on renewing Alonso, not selling Willian to Barca, and buying Drinkwater for £70m (fee plus wages)

needs to be sacked and banned from football back-office placements.

Chelsea star completely ignores Maurizio Sarri tactical instruction vs Malmo

https://www.caughtoffside.com/2019/02/21/chelseas-willian-ignores-sarri-tactical-instruction/

Chelsea winger Willian reportedly completely ignored the tactical instructions of manager Maurizio Sarri against Malmo in the Europa League this evening.

The Brazilian was supposedly urged to do more pressing by a screaming Sarri on the touchline, according to the Daily Star’s Paul Brown, only to ignore his manager’s request

Its been happening all season. Not just Willian. Morata, Hazard, Kovacic, Giroud, basically everyone has not done it at one time. But the pressing has been shit, whether or not this is through a lack of effort or lack of tactical understanding, I dont know.

The fact Willian is still at this club is the most disgusting thing ever.

Yawn. Not believing any of his words.

Anyway, that first half against Malmo has to be one of the most boring halves I've seen in a very long time. They were playing very very safe. Tons of sideways and backward passing. Luckily, the second half was better.

Winning against Malmo was expected, any other result I would have wanted Sarri's head gone tonight.

All that result did is delay the inevitable. Sunday will most likely be Sarri's last game in charge, when he is expected to put back Alonso and Jorginho. And we get smashed 5-0 or something.

Probably the first time in my history of supporting Chelsea, that I'm not going to bother watching the final we're in. A FINAL. I want to enjoy my Sunday.

 

Awwww! I'm sure they will be bereft not having your 'support'!

I really give up trying to make some balance in peeps heads just saying it's Sarris fault we are in this position And trying to get the players to shoulder at least half the responsibility.

Always the managers fault. Sound like a bunch of North Londoners moaning and whining.

Don't be this pathetic. Chelsea doesn't even know that you and I exist (some Chelsea Women players do know I exist), so with or without my support it won't make any difference! Use your common sense, lad!

Sarri has shown defeatist, stubborn, naive attitudes that we don't need at Chelsea. And while the players are shite, HE is the one that constantly picks the worst shite players in our squad. Alonso, Willian and before the turn of the year, Morata.

But don't worry. Shortly after Sunday, hopefully we can then focus 100% on these primadonnas and getting them out.

Tbf other than CHO for Willian (even based on tonight not always straight forward, CHO faded in and out of the game a lot which you can expect with young players as well as inconsistencies in performance), Emerson and Giroud are hardly obvious improvements on Alonso and Morata if they are at all (which for me, other than a few games Emerson has done well in patches, is just as bad as Alonso).

In all reality, poor squad building has left us in this mess more than anything. Can blame Sarri, Conte, Jose for playing player X over player Y but the one consistent has been that the club has been picking transfer targets 75% of the time for almost the last 8 or 9 years.

Back in 2011 we were linked with Cesar Azpilicueta, Andre Schurrle, Antonio Rudiger, Willian under AVB but we ended up signing them under Di Matteo, Mourinho and Conte. If that doesnt explain a lot then I dont know what does. Not to say they havent done well, werent good players or whatever but its obvious the club identifies and recruits the players as opposed to the manager having final say.

Weve had the success but it was built on aggresive, counter attacking, low block football. Go through the usual cycle of could be contenders, become champions and then fall off. Improve, hit a good level and then dont build on the success. Constant cycle and poor recruitment is a huge reason.

I didn't understand his comment that club has to sell one winger if they want him to play CHO more next season.  What? Pedro will be 32 and Willian 31 in the summer . I must ask for how much longer he's planning to rate them over him?  Unbelievable. He is the one who should tell the club to sell them both! Actually Sarri and our board are perfect for each other.  No ambition what so ever. They are happy with Willian and Pedro.  Ffs i want even with Hazard staying another top winger like Pepe,  Chiesa or Lozano and would still expect CHO to play regularly. Plus Pulisic. City has Mahrez, Sterling, Sane, Silva and I don't see any issues there.

Im convinced he will stay at least until the end of the season. We are already in end of February, early March.
