Maybe he’s made his mind up already, Steve Holland as interim manager, if we fail on Sunday? Anyway, at least today was enjoyable.

Kante, absolute monster.

Fantastic victory and a very good performance, we should have won by 3 or 4. Giroud had a decent game, but can’t hit a barn door bless him, Emerson should have had two assists & whilst he might not be the long term answer, he’s not a converted left midfielder, he’s a proper left back and it shows. Some very good individual performances, Kante was on fire, but the team were together today, gave it everything and that’s the most important thing, we deserved to enjoy that.

“it would appear this group of players are very difficult to motivate". I appreciate the honesty Sarri, but you pick the same team week in, week out....didn’t think that one through did he.

Again, no point in analysing that performance, we’re all just repeating ourselves. Sarri is stubborn and has no idea how to turn a game around, it’s just like for like swaps. It’s a three horse race for that 4th spot and I’m sorry, we’re coming 5th or 6th I feel, we’re not as good as Arsenal or United. It will take a lot more than Higuain for Sarri to turn this around, there is some dead wood that needs removing, but can I see us getting the business done in the summer? Hugely debatable, if we have no champions league football again, which looks likely, then it’ll be more difficult. I cannot see Sarri staying longer than next season, the hope is that we improve drastically over time, I’m not sure if that will happen and the board don’t have the patience either, I don’t want to be so negative but Sarri might just be another one out the door, gutted.

Run out of things to say about these recent performances, said it all before.

Okay, so the reports from Germany are that CHO is leaving in the summer. So why do we insist on playing him and why do we talk him up in the press conferences? Enough of the lying & he shouldn’t be playing if he wants out, unless this is all nonsense from ze German press.

Trying not to get angry, I can’t be assed to analyse that performance, because I’ll just be repeating what I’ve said numerous times this season. Putting it in simple terms, finishing 5th again would not be good enough, do the board sack Sarri or keep him? I wouldn’t be surprised if they sacked him, given our history. If they keep him, do they give him the players he needs in the summer? Or do we stick with the same dead wood and blame him when it all goes wrong, there’s a pattern emerging here with the way we do our business.

Fabregas for me and he only played for 20 minutes, says it all really.

I think it’ll be a tough game, win and we could put Southampton in the relegation zone, expect them to fight hard.

Tough one, I voted Kanté but Luiz is a close 2nd, no one else really stood out.

Hazard, easy one, 101 goals and more to come.

Luiz or Kepa.

Would Hudson-Odoi do any worse than Willian? Does Willian offer more then Loftus-Cheek on the wing? I’d start him in that position over Willian. Emerson should start ahead of Alonso, who Sarri has laughably talked up as potentially the best left back in the world, which is a bizarre statement, when he’s not even a left back. I agree though, our strength in depth isn’t good enough, which we need to improve on in the summer.

It’s not working Sarri, it’s pass for the sake of passing with no end product, flicks and tricks with no penetration and we’ve seen that in far too many games. Willian, Alonso and even Hazard with really poor finishes today, Sarri not to blame for that, but he is to blame for picking out of form players, he needs to be brave and drop some of the so called stars and it’s clear as day that we need a big window next summer. I don’t want to be overly pessimistic, but I’d say prepare for a Liverpool title win and Europa league football, God I hope not, fun times ahead.
