Sarri But Not Sarri Thread

[Tomo 21,751]

The vibe im getting with Sarri is he REALLY wants this job and this is the pinnacle and reward of all the hard work he's put in during his life, all the pictures released he's grinning like a Cheshire cat.I also feel this could be a fruitful partnership as we have something the other wants, we want the football he offers and he wants trophy's, we have a winning mentality running through the club that gives him a high chance.

Will he do some sort of unveiling press conference?

Agree mate. I'm excited to see what he can do with us.

Taking how much emphasis Mou and Conte crammed defend at all costs on them they tended to forget AT TIMES what it was like to go forward.

It shall be very interesting to see who he decides to play where as I dont think hes one for sticking with where players normally play. Just as Conte used Moses as WB.

I like the end couple of paragraph.

He is apparently different type of manager. Ive read that he sometimes only takes 10 minutes out himself. Then spends alot of time in the video room with the players going thru the drone vids.

Theres some Ive watched of the Napoli team and it really looks like formation ballroom dancing. The majority of the players move as a single unit. Keeping the triangles in place all the time. Till that right moment when they strike. The moves can use every member of the team.

Maurizio Sarri has big advantage in his favour after visiting Chelsea training

Chelsea's transfer targets went from Ogbonna, Giacherrini, Biabiany and Llorente under Conman with CL football to Jorginho, Alisson, Rugani, Higuain under Sarri with Europa League. Name a bigger upgrade.

That just shows the difference when an attacking manager enters. They target technical players even in defensive positions.

I agree that Sarri in Chelsea feels right so far. I think this could work out really well. He is much older than Conte and that could be his massive advantage in communication with our board, with all the experience he must have gained.

I am so much calmer about our summer/upcoming season now that this is official AND the cherry on top is bringing in his maestro Jorginho. We had talent already on the roster to realistically fill every role except the Jorginho, but now we HAVE jorginho. Exciting times ahead, hopefully. Now let this madman go to work.

It's also more effective to back an attacking coach because that extra quality can actually make a huge difference. In defensive teams this is not always the case. Just look at Mou's United, they could probably put Messi, Modric, Griezmann and Mbappe in that team and still play shit on a stick football

His English sounds good.

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

Talking of English I have to say I'm always impressed with our overseas members with their English I did three years of Spanish at school and all I can remember is how to count to 20 and a few swear words. It does make me laugh when they use English slang or phrases the highlight for me was some poster saying we were poor piss today

Disagree. We have no serious talent in the striking role. And if we sell Courtois, no talent in GK either.

Striker and GK are IMO the top two roles you need to win the title. World class GK would make incredible saves that make or break us. We also need a 20+ goal player at the other end, otherwise we would struggle to win titles. Maybe even top 4, since every other top 6 club has at least one 20+ goal player.

Morata and Giroud maybe probably be enough to scrap top 4. Maybe, because I'm looking at other top 5 clubs and I don't think we are better than them in that area.

You're opinions on the strikers is harsher than most but those are your personal opinions. I agree we need a better effort from Morata this year if we were to keep him, Giroud is a solid option. Hazard will need to look for goal more if they can't hit the numbers necessary. Higuain is being floated if Morata does want to leave, that surely solves the problem. Also, Sarri might be able to increase production from a goal rate due to his system. These are all questions that need to be answered.

We currently have Courtois and if he is to leave I am confident Chelsea will bring in a goalkeeper at the level that is required. We have had Cech and Courtois since Roman took over, thats a sustained period of world class goalkeeping. I have faith in the club about this position.

 

My initial point was we have capable(depending on personal opinion) players available in every role except Jorginho. Now we have him, I am exciting as a Chelsea supporter and curious to see the rest of our summer business!
