BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Almost after a whole season, he made us worse in defence and less creative in attack. Nice one Sarri. Looking forward for next season without Hazard. Probably battling top 10 with Watford and Wolves.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Needing a win , "attacking" manager takes off a striker. Even Jose was more brave in these situations Bosnian Blue, Laylabelle, Vesper and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,178 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 sit, now with CHO out for months and Eden leaving we are down to only 3 wingers on whole squad and no true winger in loan army to call up LW Willian RW Pulisic backup either side Pedro RLC as emergency winger I guess or do we cast the iron dice and recall Kenedy for LW backup? surely we dont recall Moses or Musonda, ffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,938 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 50% of me is Sarri out and other 50% is looking at the shit state that is our squad and feels harsh for blaming Sarri for this mess. In a way, it's quite astonishing how well he is doing with this squad and even more impressive what Conte did with it previously. Just take a real look at the squad roster... it's criminal. How the fuck have we fallen this far from the front soo quickly. The managers can't keep taking all of the blame. The club is run by a women who has refused the 80million pound sale of Broccoli head!!! If that doesn't ring alarm bells, then I don't know what does. 1905didierblue, Fernando and NikkiCFC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 The board, the players and the manager, all to blame, simple as that. Transfers have been shite in the last god knows how many seasons, the attitude of players and performance levels have been horrendous and the manager currently is about as middle of the road as they come. The club has gone severely down the shit pan, and as a collective a lot of people are to blame.....I'm staring directly at the board for starters. 1905didierblue, El P. and Vybz Kartel 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Sarri, the "supposed" leader of the pack has made another blunder again. Every game should be treated like a cup final. Chelsea-Burnley is a CL/EL semi-final, 2nd leg after a goalless 1st leg. Outscore Burnley, or we're out. Sarri did not treat the game like this. Instead, he wants to keep hold of his precious 4-3-3, even when Burnley played no football. You should throw everything to get the 3 points, especially when we are playing United on Sunday. This is why I will not trust this man going forward. It's blunder after blunder after blunder. Tired shitless of this discussion. Some accuse him of drifting from his tactics by going defensive vs City instead of imprinting his game like Klopp did after we see posters like this who want him to drift from his formation and tactics. Make up your mind people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One accuse him of going away from his tactics unlike Klopp who kept through with it all matches even when he lost badly and others accuse him of trying to play his formation and tactics against all teams which Klopp did as well. Some also moaned about CHO not playing and poor guy deserving to be above Pedro and Willian. Not only hasn't he shown shit but he should bow on Sarri's feet and kiss them for playing him against some of the worst teams we played this year in EL so he can pamper his stats and get an England call up. Sarri is also on par to finish this season not worse than last no matter the tactics and playing style should be enough for all of us to figure the players can't do more at this point.

MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Sarri not playing two strikers when needing a goal is a rational criticism. One that I firmly stand behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you did since you need to defend whatever you said about Sarri being a fraud for not playing CHO, now you need to back it all up, yet all he does better than Pedro and Willian is staying out wide and stretching the play instead of those 2 drifting in the middle if that's everything he has above Pedro and Willian says enough about the whole situation. If Sarri started CHO in the PL before and played like in the last 3 matches he would have never been called up for the National Team you can be sure of that. Assisting and scoring against Molde is the highlight of his season I can bet even our German Messi would've done that. Keyboard managers providing once again the difference between a real coach being on the pitch, training them and watching them closely if they are ready to start to watching a highlight reel while sitting on the chair.

Nicco 927 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 3 minutes ago, Mana said: What you're saying is absolutely ridiculous. First of all, CHO started the last 2 of 3 matches, one of them was against Liverpool. 2 - Yesterday, while CHO didn't play well, he wasn't as predictable as Pedro was. Pedro was so predictable with his cutting inside. And 3, he's bloody 18. Just had his 4th PL start. You're ripping him like he is 24 or something and played a lot of pro matches. Rome wasn't built in a day. He has started all PL matches since Cardiff, hasn't played a single good match in any of them and surely hasn't shown anything to prove the many points here that he should be above Pedro and Willian in the picking order, something most of you blamed Sarri for not seeing something so obvious. It doesn't matter if his 18 I'm not blaming the kid but the fans who think they know all and insulted Sarri for not starting an 18 years old kid who clearly ain't ready to start in the PL above 2 veterans with experience. According to some of you CHO was supposed to steamroll that side and make us dangerous in attack which clearly was never the case. communicate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand with Sarri, he is doing the best in the circumstances. look at Man Utd squad who are behind us in the league, which of their striker wouldn't be starting every game for us. Our bench had Gary Cahill and Zappacosta on the bench yesterday, at a point I smirked when Cahill was warming up yesterday. Thank God he bowed to pressure and gave Odion a chance, we can all see he is a good prospect but needs to be managed. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We brought Costa, Cesc and won title. Then Conte won another title with that squad and some additions. What followed is what killed Chelsea. Selling Costa without bringing quality striker. Selling Matic without bringing quality DM. Losing aging Terry without bringing or developing new top CB. Aging Willian, Pedro without bringing talented fresh blood. Not to mention fullbacks. The board fucked up the entire transition by keeping old wasted players, buying average players for big sums and buying absolutely shit players for even bigger sums. It all points to one, Marina.

MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Remember. Both City and Us needed full backs at the end of the 2017 season. City: Bought Walker, Mendy, and Danilo before August. Chelsea: Bought Zappacosta on deadline day. Mourinho may have brought a toxic attitude, but he isn't the reason why we are in this situation.

Fernando 6,585 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Still has my backing. Continue to play youth. But if next season he does not improve from this season then he will go. Can't have 2 seasons like this, or regressed even worse. We need to see some improvement next season. communicate, 1905didierblue and Vybz Kartel 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People think football manager are stupied but we watch this player only for 90 min maximum every 3 days, whereas they watched them every day in training, analyse them in detail, what they are good at, what they are bad at.

If we keep Conte and bring a good striker in, we will be doing better than our current situation. So is Conte is better manager than Sarri? Maybe but with this squad that Conte and Mou built the answer is 100% yes. For me the question more on the long term. What kind of team that we want in 3 years in maybe post Hazard era.
