Hand&Flower got a reaction from wallosh in Sarri - In or Out?True, Sarri COULD win a trophy on Sunday, but it would require him to change his team and tactics to do so. Something we all know he has so far been too stubborn to do.
As for this hype about "Sarriball", its just pocession at all costs, keep the ball. Dont play probing passes or crosses, as that just risks giving the ball to the opposition. It creates very few chances, bores the spectators senseless, and inevitably will be Sarris own downfall...

Hand&Flower got a reaction from wallosh in Sarri - In or Out?I would support normally giving a Manager time to work with his players. But the difference between Conte and Saari is that Conte recognised we had issues and was quick to change players/formation to address that.
Saari has sadly proved that he has created one team, and appears incapable (or too stubborn) to change it even when its plainly obvious its not working efficently.
Hes also very nieve, we thumped lowly Huddersfield so he then picks the same side plus the same formation for the next game away at Manchester City. Worse still, even when its obvious to everyone that Jorghino is getting overrun in midfield and not protecting the defence, he refuses to change the set up so a 6-0 thumping was inevitable
We are going nowhwere with Saari, and its now quite obvious why he has won nothing in his Managerial carreer. Replacement Manager will be immediately more successfuly because of the rebound factor (Like Solsjaer at Utd) and the simple things like dropping underperforming players (Jorginho and Alonso) and putting players back where everybody else agrees they should have been in the first place.

Hand&Flower got a reaction from bluehaze in Greetings....Hello all...
Finally registered to post after reading the posts here for ages.
Been Chelsea since the 60s when my Dad ran an Off Licence opposte the Worlds End in Kings Road, and we lived above the shop. Started going seriously in the mid/late 70s. Home and away in the 80s, every game in the 90s etc....
As per my user name you will gues where our favourite watering hole was before home games at the Bridge,
Favourite players include Osgood, Hudson, Harris, Cooke, Dixon, Nevin, Gullit, Zola and Jorginho (I may have lied about the last one).
Favourite seasons were (surprising to some) the 76/77 and 83/84 promotion season... amazing atmosphere in the Shed, and some brilliant away days.....
Favourite managers - John Neal, Eddie Mac, Jose in his first stay, Ruud and Hoddle

Hand&Flower got a reaction from ForeverCarefree in Sarri - In or Out?I will agree with you that Conte became erratic in his last season, but during the Premiership winning season 16/17, he definately changed formation when he realised against Arsenal it wasnt working.
If Saari recognised his Teams shortfalls and made changes I would be happier, but he seems happy to persits in the vane hope it will miraculously start working properly, which it wont, and he will destroy the confidence of the players if he continues to do so.
