BlueLion. 21,484 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I'm totally behind this bloke right now. He's doing what he can with a squad with an horrendous attitude. He's shown he's willing to compromise and is recognising what he wants isn't quite tenable right now. If he gets us into the top four, he deserves to stay. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

mccg 1,528 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 HAVE FAITH Maurizio Sarri insists ‘Sarri-ball’ is here to stay at Chelsea… and Jorginho is key man Some fans have not been impressed by Italian philosophy but Sarri isn't going to abandon principles any time soon https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/8548579/chelsea-sarri-ball-jorginho-faith/ Link to post Share on other sites

I think you have to have a serious discussion about his future if we don't make it back into the UCL, but we are on the first few steps along the road to recovery. It's going to be a long process. Rome wasn't built in a day, so I don't see the point in dismissing him almost instantaneously, but by the same token, we're meant to be an elite team - anything other than securing UCL football or winning a trophy should be seen as an absolute, abject failure, being honest. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
ChelseaFanUK 1,001 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 His job is far from safe.City was a one off final, and Spurs at home we were always going to be up for. But get top 4 and he will get another year. Think 3-0 to us today Link to post Share on other sites
Laylabelle 8,793 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 It's been really unfortunate that when we've gone through our bit crap stage.. Man U have come out of theirs and taken advantage. We should've been comfy ish in 4th but dropped so many so quick... Don't think be there end of the season if fails. Though don't know who else they can get in. See what happens. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Fernando 6,137 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Seeing some small progress. But I'm in with what Sarri said, it could take two seasons. However I do expect us to be a bit better next season. If next season with regress worse then this season then that's a problem. But I don't see that happening, I see us getting better for next season. Finally because we stuck with a manager and gave him time. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Vesper 23,876 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I just found out who holds our entire transfer ban appeal in his hands and it isn't good. Of course, it HAD to be a Swede, ffs, and NOT a good one, in fact a true cunt. He can put the ban in place even whilst we appeal and supposedly that is how he is leaning, as the previous appeals from other teams (Barca, AM, etc) were when the laws were new, and now they are settled case law as the CAS has ruled on it mutiple times. ABOUT FIFA THOMAS BODSTRÖM (SWE) FIFA’s appeal committee chairman https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/who-we-are/news/thomas-bodstrom-swe-2895932 He is hated here by anyone who cares about privacy and civil liberties, as whilst The Minster of Justice he tried to give broad surveillance state powers to the coppers, and it didn't matter if you were even charged or suspected or anything. We even have a term in Swedish for it Bodströmsamhället (Bodström Society, like Big Brother 1984-style) http://www.stockholmsfria.se/artikel/7413 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Special Juan 26,198 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 With us at the moment I am just grateful for small mercies, we still aren't playing well and it takes a saga like the Kepa gate to sort of unify the players. Sarri really needs now to start getting RLC starts, he's had cameo roles and looked brilliant, yet we are still persisting with an average Barkley and Kovacic who is just meh, really. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
stryker1808 25 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Small progress as in we finally made more than one shot on target? Against a 19th place side? We shouldn’t be on the edge of our seats until the final whistle with Fulham. Watch other top 6 sides slap them about. Still not convinced at all with Sarri. Sarri was lucky today that his selection and subs were just about good enough to hold out Fulham. Just.Why is it Sarri? We had enough chances to score 4, 5 goals. Sarri did not pick Rico to save Higuain's shot. I get it that the manager sets up the team and strategy etc. But if the players can't execute, then it's as much the players to blame. By the way, I do think exhaustion was a big factor in how we faded after 50-60mins. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to post Share on other sites
