The Sarri Thread

When you think about it this guy did wonders with our defense. We had 3rd best defense in the league with Kepa, Alonso, Rudiger and Luiz!

City and Bournemouth games aside where we where shambolic and conceded 10 goals in other 36 games with Sarri we conceded just 29 goals. When we won title with Mourinho 32 and with Conte 33 goals full season.

 

 

Dont praise Sarri. People on here will slag you off for that.... yes those points are true. Kepa didn't look horrendous. Neither did Rudiger and neither did Luiz at times. But everything was so much more rigid and structured which can help players look better. But people wanted him gone, the fans didn't appreciate what he was trying to do or understand him. There was so much complaining (on here especially but its not as if its any better now in terms of the style of play or that is it? Or if the gap from City and Liverpool is any/getting any closer but we do need time to get these new guys in the team but as we seen with Conte first season, certain managers are able to innovate and make that difference) because of these games where we were predictable in attack (again any surprises bar Eden its not as if he has the likes of Havertz, Werner, Pulisic, Ziyech to work with now like FL has and even then without those players and Eden, our attacking play has suffered since 2020 aftera a promising start with FL) and the fact he didn't play RLC and CHO, which many people think stopped getting him sacked when they started playing them.... as if haha, the results improved, if they got worse with them playing it would of been exactly the same, we seen it with Frank last season also playing young players and not getting good results doesn't grant you any sort of immunity.

I wonder what he's going to do now. That's 2 clubs that have really given him a chance and then turned around an effectively got rid of him after a year. We didn't sack him but we may as well have because we all know that the backing of him in terms of as a manager and what he wanted to do clearly wasn't there based on his comments at the end of May where he was going to have a meeting with Marina and by the sounds of it he was basically making out he wanted to stay, the fan unrest didn't help and then Juventus, huge club was basically an escape for him.

Juventus was always going to be a huge job for anyone, had been saying for ages after Conte and Allegri were the squad had the same backbone for so long, it needed fresh ideas. The Sarri/Tuchel/Pochetino's of the world were the sort of guys they need to go for while refreshing an aging squad and Pirlo looks like he's gonna be in that mould, while trying to play attacking football. 

I think he will get another job at some point this season but I don't know where. He will have plenty Marlboro Reds with that Juventus pay off anyway, meant to be costing them between 20-30m after sacking him because of his contract.

He is linked with Fiorentina now.

Very possible, and I can see him going for RLC. Would be nice.

Would be wishful thinking but about as likely as pig flying or seeing a unicorn in real life. I mean I am sorry but why make these daft former manager wants former player assumptions when there is about a 0.00001% chance of these happening in all realism 🤣

I mean why would he go for RLC when Lazio have Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Luis Alberto? Why would anyone? Ruben could only get a loan move to Fulham who got relegated this season, where he played extremely poor, so why would Lazio take a gamble???? It would be one of the stupidest moves ever. Player who doesn't possess any real incision as an attacking midfielder joins one the most defensive/tactical leagues in the world .... dear god. I just hope we dont have him back next season at all costs also but I don't think we will be so lucky that Sarri or any other major Italian team will sign him either 🤣

Even if they lose one or both of those, I would be shocked beyond belief if he wanted either Ruben and if they could if they could afford his 120-150k wages and even more so if Lazio could afford 1/2 of Jorginho as these will start eventually (who is probably going to be getting a new deal and one of Tuchel's favorites) ...

Well someone has to start them!

Would cost too much. Not as bad as the RLC one though and at least more realistic 🤣

That’s one more manager out of the Spurs running.. Lovely.

While Sarri is by no means a bad coach he is one of the least inspiring ones we had in the last 20 years. Would not lose any sleep over him at any PL rival and least of all Arsenal. Their mercenary squad with terrible mentality would simply combust under his rigid style.

How Ruben did in Fulham is pretty much irrelevant. Sarri has nice memories of RLC. 10 goals and 5 open play assists in just under 2000 mins. He become starter here ahead of Ross and Kovacic and played his best football.

It would be loan obvy so cannot see much risk. SMS is likely to leave also. Higuain did not do good in Milan and that did not stop Sarri to bring him here.

After all, Bakayoko got loans to Milan and Napoli after being terrible here. Have no idea why are you so surprised...

Yes, they have the least professional squad in the EPL

horrid mentalities abound even though one left (bobblehead) but Lucas Torreira and Guendouzi (although he is close to moving on a perm to Marseille) come back from loans so the cunt quotient will on net explode again

these are all moody twats

Bernd Leno  
Gabriel
Héctor Bellerín    
Cédric Soares   
Granit Xhaka   
Dani Ceballos   (likely gone)
Gabriel Martinelli  (moody AF lately, not happy to be semi frozen out)  
Willian   
Reiss Nelson   
Alexandre Lacazette 
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 
 

then the ones on loan (some may be gone)

Mattéo Guendouzi   
Konstantinos Mavropanos   
Sead Kolasinac 
Lucas Torreira   
 

then these three, who are not poison, but quite likely will not be happy to be back

William Saliba    (nothing personal, as in his bad disposition per se, but he hates Arteta because of the way Arteta treated him, so discord there)
Ainsley Maitland-Niles (I cannot see him happy to be back)
Joe Willock   (I cannot see him happy to be back)

 

they did get rid of these troublemakers

 
Mesut Özil
Sokratis Papastathopoulos    
Shkodran Mustafi    
David Luiz

he is perhaps perma damaged to a huge extent

since his Achilles blowout over 2 years ago:

42 games

2300 minutes

one goal

one assist

has looked pure shit

Still remember RLC beasting Y Toure way back when in preseason, we’d all seen youth highlights but he really announced himself. Sadly it was a total and utter waste of unparalleled talent in terms of academy prospects.

his Achilles (at that fucking still-in-season May 2019 American road trip exhibition charity game in Boston on a shitty AF yank football stadium pitch) blowout has destroyed him I so fear

still seething over that goddamn game

look at that shit pitch 🤬

Woeful, such a shame, if he were to get back on track then that was it. I am looking forward to TT preseason though, as others may still be at the Euros or on break. It allows for a proper look at some of our perceived deadwood. All for a redemption story, no matter the player as long as it’s in our blue.

Sarri went insane when he saw the pitch, he was fuming

and then, after RLC was injured, he said the Italian equivalent of 'I told you so'

😿
