🇪🇸 Kepa Arrizabalaga

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

I want Sarri out as much as anyone as you will know but Kepa should be ashamed of himself. I think bringing on Caballero would have been a good punt and surely put some doubt into Citys players but that was not even the question here. You cant disobey the manager on the world stage. That is disrespecting the club as much  as the manager. Shiws how little respect Sarri has in the squad but also the lack of leadership discipline m within the squad. Imagine what Terry or even Cahill would have done. They would have physically carried Kepa out of bounds. This is just pathetic and really makes me struggle to identify with anything at the club aby more. Not the board, the squad, the manager. Just the name, tradition and the fans are still the same.

Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga insists he did not mean to disobey Maurizio Sarri in Carabao Cup final

Again school boy errors ..basics , manager , assistants, medical team, players, should all speak fluent english(gcse grade at least) to play for the 1 best teams in England for a starter !

What else can he say? He fucked it up. I would also say: "Me no understand English".

Kepa Arrizabalaga incident a misunderstanding, says Maurizio Sarri

Chelsea boss plays down substitution farce during Carabao Cup final

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/11646858/kepa-arrizabalaga-incident-a-misunderstanding-says-maurizio-sarri

[mccg 1,528]

"I know if you see it from outside, I don't know how it went out, it is not the best image," Kepa told Chelsea's official website.

"I have spoken with the boss. I think it was misunderstood.

"I understand that on television, on social media, they're talking about this but I am here to explain it, to say that it wasn't my intention to go against the manager.

"We have spoken now, and I was only trying to say I'm fine. He thought I wasn't fine. It was in tense moments, with a lot happening."

Sarri played down the incident after the match, describing it as a "misunderstanding", and Kepa agrees with the Italian.

"In no moment was it my intention to disobey, or anything like that with the boss," Kepa added.

"Just that it was misunderstood, because I had been attended to by the medics twice, and he thought that I wasn't in condition to continue.

"It was two or three minutes of confusion until the medics got to the bench, and they explained everything well.

"This was nothing to do with the problems I had this week, with [hamstring] it wasn't that. And, well, it was misunderstood.

"Because he thought I couldn't continue, and - fundamentally - I was trying to say that physically I was fine."

Playing it down really makes Sarri look even weaker. He at least should make it look like Kepa apologized and have him out of the squad for spurs. Really no man-management skill that dude.

Unless it was a genuine mistake. If it wasn't then am all for bringing back public hanging for kepa.. but if it was a mistake then fair enough that's the end

Playing devil's advocate here - What if Sarri did want to make the keeper sub because of Caballero's penalty save record but Kepa at that point of time thought it was because his cramp, hence the misunderstanding? 

no matter the reason Sarri is going ballistic and he isnt coming off. It looks really bad, and Sarri looks worse playing it down.

 

He's a pushover. If he thinks he can survive here being a pushover or somebody the guys like instead of respect than he need only look at Robbie.

The club should take matters into its  own hands and punish the little rebel.It doesn’t matter how much money we’ve spent on him,it’s about setting a precedent and clearing the image of our club.Don’t sell him but show the world that  player power is not gonna be tolerated.

Right now everyone  is making fun of us and we totally deserve it.We are a joke and that situation was the “icing on the cake”.

[coolhead23 1,147]

No where does Kepa apologies for the incident ... He just keeps saying it's a misunderstanding ... Even if there was one (which is now the apt political correct statement) Kepa disobeyed a direct order from his manager ... imagine in Military he would have got court martial, in government he would be suspended & transferred, in any organization he would have fired, hell even at United you would have got a boot to your face ... but at Chelsea it's just a misunderstanding and we will get a new manager for u ...

Nothing else other than his own ego mattered in that moment. 

Shows that he is a selfish little shit.

He owes Sarri an apology for humiliating him in a Cup Final.

He then owes his team mates an apology for causing disruption to the game and casting a shadow over their fantastic peformances. 

He lastly owes us an apology for putting us through a public slaughtering. God knows how long this will last.

Agree with what you say but how can Sarri slaughter him when he nearly walked away from the fucking team himself.

Both are fucking pathetic IMO.

sarri lost his face when he came back to the pitch. he should have gone home and leave the traitors to kick penalties

I look at it like this...He's the manager and the players should respect that, but to turn his back and walk away like he did was pathetic. Yes he came back, but to do that was not just pathetic but what example does it set to the players and staff.

Sarri's out of his depth here. The board are going to have step in and sort out this circus.

Nah. My sympathies with Sarri. A player should walk when his name comes up.

I'm not saying Kepa is not guilty but how can fingers be pointed at him when the manager nearly walked off before seeing the error of his ways.

I have only "little" sympathy for Sarri. Only a little bit (while I have zero for Kepa). What Sarri did was pathetic, you don't lose your head and walk off from the team and fans, in front of millions of viewers and the media. It's embarrassing.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Fully agree mate.

[whats happening 1,621]

fucking unbelievable that he wont be fined. trash board and management.

He walked off for less than a minute.

 

He fucked off cause you saw he was raging mad and was going to lose the plot. They you all woulda moaned about that too.

He just calmed down a bit then went back. Where in the meantime you had players like Eden giving him support.

As for the post match what was he supposed to say? Just like Mou with his BS smoke and mirrors and lying he said it was a misunderstanding,  He is in a lose lose situation. Nothing he can do will please some as their minds are shut to any type of progress.

 

Tell me what the club should do now?

So? we sack him?

WHO do we bring in that can rebuild a team? Get us playing attacking football? WITH THIS GROUP OF PLAYERS?

He'd already lost the plot by slamming down something on the bench and then walking away. He lost the plot in the wrong place, he should of been losing his shit in the dressing room later. The whole situation was fucking laughable and damn right embarrassing, from Kepa to Sarri. The way I read it is simple...The player over ruled the manager and stayed on, and the manager decided he had seen enough and went to storm off before seeing the errors of his ways. That's as simple as it is from me.

What the club should do now is haul the fucking lot of them in, sit them down and rip shreds off them. Shit like this cannot go on, things are bad enough at this club right now without more petulant playground shit like this happening. The problem with us and the likes of yesterday is we muck spread in public and it just makes everything so much worse.
