Its true. i only watched the alst 20 minutes but we had way more of the ball and also played out good chances vs a very low block. it makes a real difference when RLC is on the ball. also we look way more fluid without Alonso (obviously) and even Hazard.

Pizy 18,926 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Outside of the last few minutes of the half we offered nothing from our front 3. As a whole, we gave the ball away repeatedly with stupid, sloppy passes. We simply struggle with teams that have a high work rate and intensity. Have all season long. Our players just don't have that steel mentality. We need a couple of pit bulls in the team. That's why Barella was so coveted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I might have overeacted a bit about Sarri, but our players are shocking we need that ban overturned. No manager in the world can make this dross better than it is at the moment. Sarri has his issues but its been almost 4 seasons of mediocrity with this group of players. We need to get rid of at least 8 Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Observation. Christensen is totally out of his depth. And no way is Emerson any better than Alonso. Vybz Kartel and Supermonkey92 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarri is doing an overral mediocre job, but people developed a huge bias against him. If it was Mourinho or Conte people would be writing more positive stuff. Imo we were the better side. I'm not against Sarri. I have an extremely thin patience for the players. They are average at best, including the Brazilian's.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Notice tho how much respect they are giving us. They are playing with 5 defenders and 3 defensive midfielders. that is vintage Mourinho/Conte negativity or even worse than that. Really poor that we even conceded vs such a negative side in the first place but we have not had any trouble unlocking them. Th finish for their goal was absolutely world class tho, no one scores with a reserve header from 13 yards. any where else and it is no goal sublime accuracy. anyway we are in a good position now and can pick them apart if we keep our composure, their defence is not having their best day, only jovic is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we get a deferral, I so do NOT have confidence we can sort the team in the 5 weeks that the window is open. They literally have to sort it if we do get a deferral, as that means no real window, at that point, until summer 2021. Magic Lamps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Stupid giveaway by Kepa. Looked like an easy catch or at most a corner. We should win this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With or without Sarri, we are genuinely screwed next season if the ban stays. i think a proper pragmatic, counter attacking manager with a good eye for youth development like Simeone or Allegri could still comfortably make 4th place next season. we have plenty of counter attacking players like Kante, Pedro, CHO, RLC, Barkley and also some youths coming through like Abraham and James. we need someone to fix that defence and we will be ok. Recall Zouma, Abraham, James we can build a technically limited but fierce side with the right coach. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 You're mad if you want Simeone here. Especially after that embarrassment that was the away tie for Juve & Atletico. Vybz Kartel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
