Kajo 176 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 7 hours ago, Jason said: Again, people moan about player power undermining Sarri and yet, he has helped to foster that at the club. He has criticized the players multiple times after bad losses and what has he done in the following game? Played them again. If players know they can play poorly, then why should they listen to the manager? Yesterday as well, he had TWO chances to stamp his authority on the Kepagate - one during the incident and one post-match - and what did he do? He backed down both times and even threw a tantrum. How does one expect players to fully respect the manager if he isn't going to stamp his authority and is just going to throw his toys out of the pram rather than stand his ground and take control of situations? He got every right to criticised the players because there are some standards at this club because you're not simply going to mid-table team and get fucked 4-0. They're millionaires kicking ball around after all most of the people in this world have to put up with a lot more for a loooooooot less on daily basis and they got no multimillion mansion to hide in or simply don't have the luxury of not performing at work because they don't feel like it or they don't like the boss ideas how he run things. So excuse if I'm not running to our players with warm blanket when they gonna get criticised every know and then. As the rules of the game says if the player refused to be subbed the game has to be resumed by the ref. No manager in the history of football was in this position before what did you expect Sarri to do? Get on the pitch himself? Where was our captain for fuck sake? Oh I know where he was... on the other side of the pitch as he said in post match interview. As JT said yesterday when you number is up you have to come off is that simple it doesn't matter if you're fit or not or whether manager is playing 3D or 4D chess with the subs. Regarding Sarri almost storming out of the stadium God knows what was happening behind the doors in the past weeks. Lots of talk of player power (not for the first time) at the club and all of a sudden a player refusing to being sub in final at Wembley watched by millions around the world. Let's be honest the shit that is happening at our clubs doesn't happen at any other top clubs and I think Sarri just hit for a second his breaking point. Wonder what went through his head in that very moment. "Fuck this shit I don't deserve this I've done my best and that's what I get in return" or something like that. Kudos to the man for still trying to defend Kepa with some bullshit PR story so the media would fuck off their back for a bit but we all know how it really went down. Obviously things will be dealt with internally and players will expect Sarri to stamp his authority in the team after Kepa scenes. As much it is embarrassing for Sarri it's the same embarrassing for them as every single one of them failed to do anything to help out the manager and avoid this embarrassment. I like Azpi and he's a good lad but he's not a leader material and failed in most important moment yesterday. kc_blue, Johnnyeye and Unionjack 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB, Sherwood with Spurs. Rodgers at Liverpool. Who got the blame when things were bad at those clubs? The manager. But at Chelsea? It's all about the players. And was there no talk of 'player power' that got shot of those managers? Its always better for 'the club' to make 1 guy look a cunt than 25 others! And easier and cheaper to replace.

I have no issue with manager criticizing the players but there should be repercussion for poor performances. If players play poorly, Sarri should drop them. Make a point, stamp his authority. But he's not really done that, has he? If players know they can play poorly and still start the next game, then why would they even bother trying?

Henrique 9,133 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 7 minutes ago, Jason said: Chelsea showed their true identity against Man City to question the whole purpose of Sarri-ball No sure what you guys think about this, but once in a while a read this kind of thing: Chelsea identity is playing pragmatic and boring football, and imo this is just bullshit. According to the article when managers tried to change this "identity" they failed: Scolari, AVB and now Sarri. Scolari didn't tried to change anything, Scolari is one of the most pragmatic and defensive managers in the world. He is not different from Mourinho in terms of football philosophy. He was just not good enough. Playing pragmatic and defensive football is easier than playing offensive and exciting football. Most of football teams around the world adopt this kind of tactics nowadays, and being pragmatic have been the trend for ages, its not a "Chelsea identity". Not to mention there is a huge difference between Conte and Mourinho tactics, even if they are both defensive managers. What Sarri did yesterday has not relation at all with Mourinho or Conte tactics. Sarri was pragmatic because the other side was way stronger, and the team just got smashed by same side days ago. He just did the natural thing. Even Guardiola's Barcelona gave up the "identity" in 2009 UCL final. I remember that game as it was yesterday, and most of Barcelona chances came from counter attacks. When Barcelona won UCL in 2015 their tactics had nothing to do with Guardiola's tik taka. The identity thing doesn't make much sense, imo.

He's another who jumps on the youth bandwagon and goes mad for the flavour of the month, then six months later he never mentions them again. Distinctly remember him creaming over Dujon Sterling... now its Reece James and Sterling doesnt get a shout. He's a tit Writes a few blogs and thinks he is Mr. Know it all.

Strike 7,489 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 12 hours ago, Tomo said: Firmly disagree, that kind of mindset was why the England national side took the best part of a century to finally win one. If it was a lottery most takers and keepers records would be roughly equal. Caballero averages just short of a save every two kicks he faces, that's not luck. There are things you can control - like Jorginho trying the skip shot - I think everyone saw it coming. But it is a lot about nerves and luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the team is building a possesion-based tactic, in some matches especially the big ones, any team will inevitably counter attack and try to catch teams off-guard and with less defenders.

Jase 43,479 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Kepa has been fined for what happened on Sunday, which is fair enough, but shouldn't Sarri have been fined as well? Like, I can understand his anger then but he's the manager and he almost walked out on the team and later derailed the team's preparation for the shootout. If Kepa's expected to behave better, then was Sarri's behavior really acceptable for someone who's supposed to be leading the club?

It's all about the players. what are you talking about? especially for the last of these cases it's completely false that united players weren't criticized at least in italy, but also in england (I remember scholes interviews about pogba with a frequence of two per day for example ) besides, the chants f** sarriball are not dedicated to the players and also the boos for jorginho (to hit sarri) while others are untouchable depite their love declaration for other clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised some on here didn't bud! So much shit being heaped on Sarri hardly owt said about that we actually didn't play too bad. AND the Wee Baldy Man got forward without Jorgi needing a minder. I was pleasantly shocked to be truthful Lets hope the players are pumped up to kick these north Londoners around London.

You could see Luiz telling Arri summet with his hand over his mouth so they knew exactly what was occurring. Rudi has been mentioned a few times saying he was calming Sarri down on the pitch and in dressing room when he was shouting at Arri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Quote “After this match I have to say that I am sure, because they played exactly what I asked, today I am proud of my players,” Sarri told Sky Sports after the Wembley defeat when quizzed about his players’ faith in him. “I think we are improving, we have improved a lot [last three matches]. Today we showed to everyone we could become a very solid team, because we conceded nothing to our opponents, and against Man City that is not easy.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
