The Sarri Thread

Does anyone really want Sarri to stay even if the team fail to qualify to UCL? I mean, Sarri is the luckiest coach ever. I mean, with 5 games to go the team was 5th. Then after getting only 2 points in 3 matches, somehow the team is in 4th. He got no excuses. 

Nope. I can't imagine us lasting in the CL with this style of play and the players he picks. Be a nightmare.

Here is another reason why we should really sack Sarri - his signings. I defended Jorginho earlier this season but really, Jorginho, Kovacic and Higuain have all been utterly hopeless!

We got Kovacic because we used all our money on Kepa also why blame Sarri everyone here was creaming their pants at the thought of Jorginho and Kovacic playing for us before they got signed.

36 year old Quagliarella scored his 23rd goal today. Serie A is crap, what Napoli did or how they played under Sarri there means nothing.

We are going nowhere under the ganja man...

To be fair to sarri, this is true.

Not so much kovacic, but I do remember the hype around jorginho and the fact that city were about to buy him .

The more I see of Sarri the less impressed I am. I keep thinking of a Sunday under 12's team when the manager can't  make it because his missus has made him go to a car boot sale.The manager says '' Don't worry kids Maurizio will be in charge next week''. What turns up is a reluctant  scruffy myopic pensioner who has about as much aura as a drunk busker. He then spends more effort in 90 minutes chewing on a cigarette butt then coaching.

Every 15 minutes or so he stretches his legs after getting bored of writing down his shopping list which presumably just says get cigarettes, some contact lenses and hopefully finding out how much a one way ticket to Italy costs.

 Sarri is so out of his depth I wouldn't be surprised if he's suffering from the bends he is a clueless twat get rid.

Sarri is the one getting paid not fans here, he should know better.

Also Guardiola would make Jorginho adapt to PL, Sarri banned lifting weights in the gym.

UTD were there for the taking in the second half but we blew it. This team under sarri has no balls, no gut or courage. He himself is supremely out of his depth, top 4 or no top4, he needs the sack. Theres no chance even this utterly incompetent board of ours would let him stay for another season.....this season is by far the worst I have witnessed since RA too over, 

It isn't even the worst in the last four years, let alone since Roman took over

The overreaction in here....

We haven't won a game at Old Trafford since 2013, and it has happened under every manager that we have been unable to find an elusive second goal even when deserving it.

We are in the semis in the EL. Are 4th in the league and have played some wonderful football at times this season. We also lost a final to City in penalties! We also had a really difficult journey there, the most difficult road to a final we have had for a while.

We have him giving games to Christensen, who has not really taken his chances. He has also been developing CHO and RLC very well in a short while. Ruben is becoming a very important player for us. Something Mourinho or Conte couldn't do. All this while Hazard is probably having his best season in a Chelsea shirt if we look at goal and assist input. He is also leading the league in many key stats for a winger.

He is trying to get this team to play in a way we have been calling out for since we won the CL in 2012... All while not having the players needed for it at all, except for a few players who are very hit and miss (like Luiz and Pedro).

Give the man a chance. I remember this forum talking in the same way about Conte, and now I think many miss him and blame the board for his departure. Learn to have patience in the progress, like Liverpool fans had with Klopp.

While its true Sarri is doing better than Klopp in his first season with Liverpool (they ended in 8th in PL), Klopp already was a proven manager back in the day. To other side Sarri is a 60 years old best known for making Napoli play exciting football for Seria A standards. If Sarri had a better CV I would agree with you.

You clearly have never watched Napoli play to say so.

Failed to play any youth players in the PL until Bayern knocked on the door.

 

This type of fans infuriate me. I was angry with Sarri when CHO got injured because he started to play CHO too often. The guy is 18,this is his first season in full flight football. But clearly there is pressure from the fans and the club to play him.

Since november, we play like crap. If it wasnt for that 10 game unbeaten run, we would be 8th aswell. 

I mean we look absolutely toothless in attack. Zero creativity or dynamic. Not to mention our defence, anyone can pop one as soon as they press us.

Next season everyone will know our plan and how to stop Jorginho, so there wont be a surprise 10 game winning run in the start. Eden might not be here. Ban might prevent us signing anyone. Sarri has done zero player development aside from RLC anf CHO who are young and naturaly progressing with play time. Azpi, Willian, any striker, Alonso, Kovacic, Jorginho, Pedro have all underpeformed. 

As for EL, we didnt play a single strong team. Lets see how we do vs Frankfurt now. As for reaching cup final, we won fa cup last year, so thats hardly something Sarri can brag about.

I dont see how are we going to be better next season.

But CHO didn't get injured because he was being played too much, did he? It was just an unfortunate one when he tried to control a loose goal kick.

Sure, there was pressure to play CHO but Sarri didn't have the balls to stick his guns, did he? He made his point to not play him often but ultimately did because of fans' protests and he got scared of losing his job!

Not just from fans but from the club. I thought Sarri handled CHO perfectly except the last few games where I thought he should have not started all of them.

I have no idea how do you improve on 30+ player. I don't see pep making David silva or Fernandinho better. But he certainly make sterling better.

If he was surrendering to fans, then why isn't Kante at DM?

I think he started playing league games because he improved his discipline off the ball (which is important when the other winger is Hazard).

Because he could argue that Kante is scoring goals and providing assists in a more advanced midfield role.

CHO has done well when given playing time this season, Europa League or not, but had to wait till the Bayern interest, fans/media pressure, sack threats to force Sarri's hands. And let's not forget that Sarri hardly helped himself in this situation either. In November, he said CHO isn't ready but less than two months later in January after Bayern made their interest known, Sarri suddenly said CHO is ready and that he considers to be on the same level as Pedro/Willian. CHO then got some consistent game time in January but once the transfer window closed, he didn't get that again until Sarri gave in on the pressure and sack threats in March/April.

To me it is....the footy we play is the most boring, spineless I have seen. We consistently look clueless in all aspect.
