Sarri apologist spotted, keep it up

There's many things to criticise Sarri but playing a false 9 isn't one of them.

This.

We can bash sarri for actually "wanting" higuain. That was such a howler. Specially since the board (for ince) are giving the manager what he wants (jorginho and higuain).

But faulting him for today just seems so OTT and to be honest, so spoilt.

I would rather look at the positives, and truth be spoken, I am seeing some really good signs.

I do think long term though, if we keep Sarri we keep higuain and kovacic witch is madness to me as neither will improve the team.

Our defence is weak, and our midfield doesn't offer them protection with the space they leave. They get massively exposed against teams that have the attacking threat of City and Liverpool.  The false 9 allows Willian and Hazard to congest some of the midfield. It's worked twice against City. 

It's a bit naive to think we could of given Liverpool a game had we started a ST and not expect our defence to be weak and our midfield to leave gaps. Come on.

Don't think our board will invest in them. (thankfully)

Their thick, but they aren't that thick.

He also said... In my opinion we are going in the right way. We are improving. 

Though guess going by some other results it's a improvement... Somehow... Clutching at straws lol. Did expect maybe 3- 0 so better!

Playing Eden there certainly is.

Hazard is our best player and when he shifted him to false 9, he essentialy said to pool we have limited our best player ourselves, so you can attack us even more. 

Thats literaly what Mourinho would do. Sacrifice players to defend. 

And then he still keeps Jorginho in that holding mid role. Is he this big of an idiot? Play bunker and invite all pressure from pool and still play Jorginho there? Same guy who is about as useful in such system ad Henderson and doesnt have any pace nor strength to defend? In this first half setup, we might aswell hoof the ball because apart from front 3, no one moved forward. 

We have already beaten this same side with fair contest. In football, brave and bold are rewarded. If we had Conte, no one would blame him for parking the bus. But after season of training under Sarriball, two games against pool where we played equal to them and thats the best tactic he pulls off?

Obviously everyone knows if you park the bus, you will concede against this pool side because they play dynamic football. Even more if your manager is Sarri and he plays Jorginho in holding role. Basicaly Sarri just went for lesser evil and parked the bus to avoid humiliation. 

Because at this point he knows he was read by about every team in pl and this is his response, to defend as long as he can. 

If he was bold, he would inspire the team to take Pool to the cleaners and win. Its 11 vs 11 and our team is wastly more experienced to match their quality. 

There were too many times this season when opponent was lucky and we were unlucky, thats no longer an excuse. We play like little insecure kids, no wonder nothing goes in, we panic in defence and cant create for shit. And Sarri is definately responsible for motivation. 

One thing is to say pool is the better team, but we come there to win vs saying they are better and we cant match them. Because that shit is literaly an excuse from Sarri after every defeat. No wonder it gets into players heads.

Season 2029/30, Sarri:

We are almost there to match them.

I'm not bother with the loss. 

Liverpool are way better then us. 

We are going the right way. Cho is playing, rlc and Emerson. 

All good to me.
