Clockwork 1,794 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 2 minutes ago, !Hazard! said: Young players seem to have much more hunger and confidence than the old ones. RLC, CHO and Ampadu deserve good run of games in the starting XI Add Christensen and Emerson to that list imo; if you are trying to implement a system it is much easier to do so with young and hungry players. Senior players tend to have a very specific playing system belief at this point it is too much to unlearn then comes the learning of the new system.

ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 It'll be the same 11 most probably because let's face it, he isnt a big fan of CHO, it seems 1 - tonights lineup gave a massive clue. the only maybe is Kepa. I think left back possibly, too 2 - He has already said he wont change his style or personnel, its mentality 3 - Tonight was a home Europa League game against a absolutely woeful team, who are still in pre season. Our entire academy would have beaten them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would swap Valencia for Sevilla in terms of La Liga chances, as Valencia have a had a really disappointing year (but NOTHING as bad as poor Villarreal) BUT you are correct in that they deffo have the talent to be a big threat as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 First half was dodgy.. Least manage to get it together 2nd. The going backwards was annoying and nearly was costly a few times. Good to see CHO score. Malmö fans were fun! The pitch invader.. Just seems daft!

Unionjack 7,531 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 All 3 goals were great. Quelle surprise Kante had a good game! He doesn't have to stay at the back and he can go forward! Only thing that pissed me off is them Booing Jorgi. I'm ashamed of them. I woulda been going bonkers at them. Tomorrow noon draw on BTSport Lets have a good end of season. fuck all the negativity bollox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pedro was fit, CHO wouldn't have played. And for Emerson, Sarri is resting Alonso for Sunday. As I said before, you can read Sarri as a book. Expect normal service on Sunday with no surprises. This. Matters little what CHO did, his goal his contribution etc, same with Emerson. In all honesty Sarri wants sacking just based on his starting selections.

If Pedro was fit, CHO wouldn't have played. And for Emerson, Sarri is resting Alonso for Sunday. As I said before, you can read Sarri as a book. Expect normal service on Sunday with no surprises. Fans usually have the very wrong idea that the only way to change things is to change personnel or formation; that's why they say Sarri changes little. Right, he has preferences as Conte did before him and the next manager will too. The next manager will play Pedro (and William) over CHO every day of the week and twice on sundays, despite what the vocal minority says here. Mostly because Pedro (also William) is like twice the player, and the manager's job is first to win games, develop his system (to play and win games in his way), and then as a distant third develop players. Should CHO be playing more in Cups? seems like it, but maybe he's leaving anyway, in which case developing a bayern player does not seem like a high priority to me. Sarri thinks Alonso is a lot better than Emerson. How do I know that? because he's trying to recover Alonso's form (personal and team) by playing him/them, tweaking, and repetition. I can't say whether I agree with that (much that will do), because I've hardly seen Emerson play, since he only faces these very weak sides, but did not do too well well last time in the PL. And other potential changes? I think he plays our best players most of the time - though rotates little. If the next manager picks Alonso and Pedro, like Sarri and Conte did, will that be a surprise to you? Would you then think that the said manager should be sacked too? What if the next manager (or even Sarri himself) gives both Emerson and CHO a run of games and our team tanks (yes it can always get worse) and ends in 10th, would that make folks here wrong? like when we gave Mikel a run of games because Matic was in bad form. For the record, the only time Mikel would play over Matic is if the latter was missing a leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
