Sarri But Not Sarri Thread

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Nahhh or be a bit daft to be. We were lucky that while we dropped points teams who could've taken advantage have done so as well. It's a really stupid top 4 race. Best of that bunch but this bunch is miles from the top. 

For now though nice to enjoy it seeing looked unlikely weeks and weeks ago and any other season would've been.

We finished 5th with passive football under Conte, Sarri had the mammoth task of changing the style we've had since over a decade and finished in Top 4. Wake me up when some of you admit this squad is just not good enough for Top 4 anymore, he also developed RLC and CHO so yeah keep grasping at straws.

LAst season's top teams were not as pathetic as this season....we are here cuz our rivals suck ass. Its not thanks to us playing good footy and being consistent.

I didn't say he was faultless! I said he doesn't deserve the ABUSE he has recieved from our plastics. It's a disgrace. I get it, I really do, I have come to terms with our fanbase being a bunch of spoiled brats.

Plastics? For real mate? Being not fond how we have been this season under a clueless manager that refuses to change things no matter what, makes many of us plastics?

Sarri has lost FOUR games fewer than Podgettino in the league. Sarri kicked Podgettino out of a Cup Semi-final this season. And this week, Sarri is halfway to a Euro Cup Final while Podgettino is nine-tenths of the way out of a semi. Yet Sarri gets lambasted and Podgettino gets praised. 

It amazes me that any Chelsea supporter pays any heed to anything written or spoken about us in the media. It is normally so factually incorrect to the point of drivel.

Poch is a far superior manager than Sarri.......you give him a quality team and he will do damage im sure of it. He is tactically astute, have the balls to drop his players if they fuck up, have the insight to change formations when needed, knows how to change a game by not subbing like for like every damn game all season. Everything Sarri hasnt shown with us. He has them in CL and gets zero backing in transfers.....atm he is far better than Sarri.

I think people are a bit blinded by the top 4 finish and somehow forgot how garbage we are since the turn of the year. We were trashed by Bournemouth and City and our first away win in 2019 came in March. Weak EPL sides defend without too much effort against us and in the same time our defense always looks shaky. On paper the season might look decent because of the collective meltdown of the teams around us, but in the end we're still light years behind the top 2.

Nope we are not blinded at all. 

Nobody think that we are close to pool to city. Even on paper pool and city has better players. Until on paper we are at least close then we can talk.

Sarri has outsmarted Pochettino tactically in 3 games out of 4 this season.

That's a bit worrying. 

Why? Unless you are sure that michy and Tammy are ready then we need a striker.

Nope they are not sucks. Yes United is having a  nightmare season but Spurs are in semifinals of ucl, both us and arsenal are in semifinal in europa league. Do you think these doesn't have any impact on everyone?

You have to take into account other things too, but sure, good on Sarri for that, but overall poch is still a far better manager, both won nothing, but one is clearly more capable in this League than the other.

Im talking EPL, spurs have lost 14 and yet been secure all season. And who have me played of decent quality in EL? No one. Any other season and we would not be anywhere near top 4. But hey we take it, of course we do. I really like for Sarri to come good, but the man has given us very very little to cheer about all season.

Yep we do and keeping Higuain won't solve that issue.

It comes down, do we have a target in mind ? 

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Cannot believe we're back in the champions League. How shite the rest of this lot are. Sarri should send gift packages to Emery, podge and ole for making him look semi competent

And if we do have someone in mind then it's the fun part. The usual can they actually get the deal done rather then spending so much time faffing till it falls through. 

That's if we can make signings.

Our current points total would be enough for top four in 20 of the last 23 season's.

I agree in regards to perception, however if Sarri finishes above Poch and wins the Europa, I will argue he is better. Give Sarri Song or Kane or both and we would have another 10 -12 points. Sarri is in his 1st season, signed 2 weeks before the season started, Poch has won nothing, Kane is an Alan Shearer but if they bottle it this Year he should consider moving because with this manager he might never win a trophy. at best 4 - 5 of our players will make into Spurs, they have a better team, buying is not always the solution ask United fans. Even Danny Rose is better than the 2 we have, if Sarri finishes 3rd Poch is overrated and manages bottlers.

Not worried about the Higuain situation. I can't imagine the club will think he's good enough to be our main striker and challenge City and Liverpool. If he does stay and we can sign players we'll surely bring in someone else to be first choice. That would certainly spell the end for Giroud, though, because he ain't sticking around to be 3rd choice.

I just want to see Chelsea with a striker who's more than just a goal scorer or target man. I want to see a proper footballer who can beat players with skill and pace and who can actually fucking score from outside the box. Be nice to have one who can win us matches when we have shit days as well. It's what kept Arse as close to a top 4 finish all season. Play poorly and have Aubameyang & Lacazette bail them out repeatedly. Same with Spuds and Kane/Son. We haven't had that since Diego left.

Imo they dont have a better team than us, overall its even, but we have spent much much more. They are just more solid, they play to the strenghts that thay have. Thats what a decent manager has to do. Im all for Sarri to be given time but progress has to be seen, flexibility has to be shown. And he has done none of that. Name one player that has improved under sarri, bare the first 10 games we have been utter crap, boring zombie state footy. Even our boy Kante has become a shadow of his former self. He has to understand this is EPL, the best managers are here, teams dont give you a sec to breath, they live on exposing your tactics and play. Its fast and direct. Sarri has not gotten this memo yet.
