Tactics were exactly the same. Just fielded the players fans wanted to see against awful opposition.

We will struggle against better teams same as we have before. Still don't see top4 this time around, regardless who starts.

His head is still just above water though. A defeat/draw against West Ham with Alonso, Pedro and Willian will suddenly make him public enemy #1 again.

a defeat/draw against west ham even with CHO and emerson will make him public enemy again

Maurizio Sarri lookalike spotted on the timeline – and football twitter did it’s thing

https://www.chelsea-news.co/2019/04/sarri-lookalike-spotted-on-the-timeline-and-football-twitter-did-its-thing/

You’ve got to love football twitter sometimes. If you’re not the butt of their jokes, of course.

The unsuspecting victim in this case, who had a torrent of banter heading their way, was twitter user @Auroras_Smile – who doesn’t even appear to be remotely interested in the beautiful game.

Unfortunately for her, her partner, pictured below, looks insanely like Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri. The similarity is uncanny – it’s weird.

Of course, football twitter was fast to pick up on the lookalike, and some of the replies to the poor woman’s tweet were comedy gold.

Sarris biggest mistake was trying to change players to fit his Sarriball instead of adapting his Sarriball to fit the players at his disposal.

Yeah but even Guardiola adapted his style to fit the PL with Fernandinho for example who is more of destroyer than creator, something Guardiola always demanded from his DM. Because thats what you have to have in PL.

We play with Jorginho and our DM/CBs look like joke when we are countered. 

My point was that Sarri develops a team that will fit his style but also PL. Jorginho for example simply isnt suited best for that DM role because you have to be physical. We should have went for someone ala Rodri who is also good in defence and good distributor. But Sarri wanted to do the exact same thing with Jorginho in PL that he did in Serie A. He didnt consider the fact this is way more phyisical and faster league. Pep honestly dodged a bullet here.

Fernandinho was a box to box player at Shakhtar, Guardiola just did what Ancelotti did to Xavi Alonso at Real basically.. asked him to play as a 6, run less and read the game more when out of possession. Because of Fernandinho's ball winning attributes and tenacity from playing that box to box role he is maybe better suited or maybe this js better worded, more balanced, for that role too but I dont think either are in the team purely to be used as defensive players. They both build the game for their teams and het the ball into the final third. When out of possession yes they need to be able to shield the defence and that but City normally press high and win it or make the opposition punt it long.

Guardiola never adapted his style since the day he stepped into the premier league. His style requires technical players in every position. Especially fullbacks.

His fullbacks are arguably his most important piece to the jigsaw. We saw it at Bayern. He has his fullbacks push up and play inward sharing the space with his DM. This helps them in transition, pressing, and retaining possession. This also gives more freedom to their wingers, as they operate in much more space when they hug the touchline. 

His first season at City, he had Zabaleta and Kalorov playing there. It's no wonder it failed miserably, not to mention his players were getting caught on the break given they hadn't mastered their press yet. The board back him with upgrades, get signings done before August so they have a full preseason with Pep, and next thing you know they are dominating the league playing his style.

Guardiola took a whole season to figure this out. 

First season not so second season yes. 

I wonder if that is what the board thinks and thus why Sarri is still here.....

I would say he looks like Lincoln Burrows from Prison break more than Sarri.

 I want to check jorgi stats in the premier league before answer in a correct way.at the moment my impression is that you're right, his defensive phase seems poor

but kovacic is not better then him
