Sarri But Not Sarri Thread

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Rest of the season does not look bad at all. No FA Cup or League Cup either so players should have more time to rest and more time to practice on the training ground. 11 games left in the league, 33 points still available and if we keep up this momentum from last two games and continue to play pragmatically in certain tougher games then we should be expecting somewhere around 25 points from that (7 wins, 4 draws) minus few points if few of those draws turn into defeats. That would be a very good end to this turbulent season. Highest points tally ever needed for top4 position in the Premier League era was 79 points during 2013/14 season, usually it's somewhere around 70 points so that top4 position is still very much within reach.

Why do you always look at the small picture. You are only focusing on one game here, Chelsea having one shot on target yesterday isn't the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th time.

Yesterday. He certainly had shots on target against us this season. Again this is like a one off bad match for Poch. He rarely ends games with zero shots on target. Well done to us though for keeping them quiet.

We've had more shots on target than them in 3 of the 4 games we've played this season. We are averaging 5.1 shots OT in the PL, the same as them. And yet Pochettino is the praised one, whereas Sarri is  the slagged one.

If Sarri gets sacked, I wouldn't want Poch to be our next manager. Zero trophies.

Lets be fair, Spurs could have Fergie and would still win fuck all, the mentality around the entire club is pants re winning stuff. If Pochettino came in and got us to a similar level he did Spurs the winning mentality that filters through the club and know how of the squad to win the trophy's will do the rest.

I don't know...after his comments after Burnley (and Chelsea) showed a defeatist attitude.

Also I question if Chelsea has a winning mentality now, and if we still do, it's not as strong as before.

The fact that a bunch of core players that have won two titles alongside getting to four other cup finals winning two (if we really push it we can put the Europa for this era aswell) are have their mentality questioned if anything proves my point about how high the winning culture is in the club.

Any other club in England would consider their players god like if the delivered that type of return in a half decade period (even with all the bullshit inbetween) where as a lot of Chelsea fans are indifferent towards this bunch, shows how high the bar is here.

I do believe with us the most important thing these days is appointing builder managers who can build a squad to get us competing because once we are the squad have the will and mentality to make that final push as they keep proving.

Nothing beats that feeling but...

...that's where you lost me. Hell yes I'll moan about one shot on target ALL game. It's stupid to think having one shot on target is good enough! It's becoming a pattern smh

(Also I disagree that yesterday had the best 30 mins of football this season but whatever)

I didn't watch the same game as he did. We didn't dominated Spurs by any means, we can say it was an equal match, but dominating is a little off. The first 30 minutes were far from great, actually the team played a terrible first half, but did a good job in the beginning of second half.

I think that he deserves the chance to finish the season and to be chelsea's coach 

next year, using the players that the club will buy in the market session imho

The game was an even game. But we did well because we have just played 120 minutes like 2/3 days before. I expect us to lose this game so getting a 2-0 result is a very good result

Does games like against City counts as Sarri having a plan B?

Also, really glad RLC was involved in last two games against big opponents. I think he deserves more chance than CHO, man waited for so long to be playing.

I'm still not sold on if RLC is good enough but I'd be happy to play him Sunday to give him yet abother chance to prove himself.

Assuming Sarri doesn't get himself sack before the end of the season, which I don't think we will do it at this point, I'm genuinely curious to see then whether we will keep him or sack him if we don't qualify for the Champions League.

Dropping Kepa and playing Willy was the best option.

If he'd been sacked after the Yids, he'd have felt totally cunted having not had the balls to show who's boss
