Luiz, Rudi, Azpi, Alonso, Kante, Hazard, Pedro/Willian. 7 off the starting 11 are the exact same. So yes, "these players". If sarri plays the team that you have jotted down, most of the fans on here will willingly sing his praises inspite of whatever results come. People have been clamoring for emerson, Christensen, RLC and CHO to be started, yet the guy has done nothing to amend the shortcomings. He continues to select the same drivel and play the same way. Hence why people are so frustrated with him and his antiques. matic fabregas, diego costa and a different module and style (and also a different coach, of course, there is no match between sarri and conte) but then again, if the solution of all the problems is to play with emerson RLC and CHO probably sarri would have tried this way I don't think he is a masochist and feels happy when the fans insult him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 IMHO we won't get into top 4, nor win the Europa League. Sure we'll get past Prague and maybe the semi final, but the final, I don't know, I simply don't feel these lot have it in them to win it, it's the softest Chelsea ever with two maybe three players tops ready to fight for the badge and a predictable manager. What I hope for is at least we play a big part in the title race and fuck the scousers yet again at Anfield and end their title hopes. I'd call it a decent season afterall.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Even if get top 4 think be a waste if all stays the same.. We'll prob lose to Arsenal in the final knowing us. Just lack of end product is worrying. All the ball and all those points dropped. Been a long ole season Vesper and petre.ispirescu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Napoli is the best team left and it isn't close. The main issue they have (and it is a huge one) is Lorenzo Insigne may miss the first game. If he misses both, then maybe Arse have a shot. Only other weakness is that they literally have arguably the best CB (Koulibaly) in the world at one CB, but then then shit at the other one (Raúl Albiol is soon 34 and is a shadow of the beast he used to be and Nikola Maksimovic has been switched to RB). There is not a team on the planet with such a gulf between their two starting CB's that I can think of. Shocking they didn't address that. It is their only true real weakness, unless Meret is injured (he has has horrid luck with that this year, breaking his arm early on) at GK, as I think Ospina is a big meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like when Argentina in 2006 benched Messi, a young exciting player, for Pablo Sorin. I think Emerson is first choice now but he rotated team against Cardiff.

Doesn't explain why he was benched for Alonso against Everton. Alonso has been solely responsible for goals against Arsenal, United, City, Spurs and Everton. The sheer fact this twat can waltz his way back into the starting XI is absurd. The spurs and City performance should have been enough for Emerson to cement his place. Guess a decent cross against fucking Dynamo Kiev has Sarri thinking Alonso is Maldini again. kellzfresh, Vesper and NikkiCFC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,175 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 'Saved by the Bellend' Chelsea FanCast #457 Apr 2, 2019 https://chelseafancast.com/2019/04/saved-by-the-bellend-chelsea-fancast-457/ Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Joe Tweedie to discuss a very lucky win for Chelsea against Cardiff City, aided and abetted by Craig Pawson and the Assistant Referee. On the show tonight we muse over the fact that one of the worst offside decisions shouldn’t let Chelsea get away with a poor performance. In part two we experience de ja vu all over again with Chelsea offering no creativity, no goal threat and bite or goals from midfield. With chants of “we want Sarri out” we ask is Sarri the most unpopular manager of Roman Abramovich’s reign and can we draw any real positives from what was after all a win for Chelsea and is there a way forward? In part three we take a quick look ahead to Wednesday’s match against Brighton before the usual parish notices and part one of a bumper crop of emails this week. In part four JK and Stamford Chidge read out the remainder of this week’s emails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For well over 80 minutes this had been Sarri’s nadir – a display so grotesque it felt worse than the capitulation at Bournemouth, the meek mishmash at Arsenal, or even the thrashing endured at Manchester City, the most emphatic suffered under Roman Abramovich’s ownership.

Fulham Broadway 17,313 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Not defending the bloke, and I'd never heard of him before his appointment, but I am of the view of more time and money for the nicotine man - having watched the team through the delights of Hurst, Blanchflower, Shellito, Hollins & Porterfield. It's not that a terrible return from your first season in English football having inherited a team that failed CL qualification and that already had ownership of a flawed character. Pochettino, Unai Emery and Ole Gunnar Solskjær are all praised but there's just 3 league points between the 4 clubs and the crucial point is we're not blessed with the attackers the others have.

The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom."

We have a manager who has a "philosophy". But the players at his disposal are not worthy of the "philosophy" and the style and the shit. So what does a "manager" do? Continue going down the same road blaming the players' mentality? Or change the ways just for a bit until he gets his own players in(given his track record with jorginho and higuain, I would not trust him with a single penny). A manager is so much more than just a phikosopjy and a style of play. Even if we give sarri a pass on our mostly abject style of play, there are basic issues of team selections, man management, youth integration and most importantly meritocracy. Emerson can perform well, and then be left to rot on the bench just because Alonso had a good game against a pub level side in Europa. Meanwhile CHO and giroud's good performances in the same competition are totally ignored. Hencr why he is nothing but a fraud. He has done nothing to be entrusted one of the biggest transitional phases of this club. Mana and Alabama 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
