Worrying how much more open we were when he went off, this shows just how important he is in controlling the defence and midfield. The rest of our defenders are so quiet, we really need another vociferous defender.

I think there are some easy fixes that even Frank sees which will improve us overall - first off getting rid of players who don't fit his system like Alonso. Then there are bigger issues like our pressing. We did dispossess WBA a few times but more often than not they played through us with ease and they're not the only ones who have done this. I will reserve my judgement until after the international break when players' fitness levels should be at 100% 
I'd love to see a set back 4 and midfield 3 with occasional changes to give players rest.

To the people calling him lazy. He isn't lazy. He just does things so effortlessly which gives the impression of said laziness. Kai alongside Kovacic are very press resistant and are able to twist and turn cleverly to create space when receiving the ball. Doesn't take too many touches, moves the ball quickly and his decision making is exceptional. Can't remember any brain farts or over/under hit passes made in the final 3rd, something Barkley is guilty of (for those comparing the two). He made some very good runs but unfortunately Kante was not able to spot them. I know Kante is a fan favourite I'm beginning to have doubts over his role in this team.

Considering we've lost Hazard, RLC hasn't played a single minute so far & Kante has struggled to accumulate any consistent game time I am not surprised we are under performing in comparison to last year.
 

Even with the gap between us and manure/arsenal we cant afford to drop points and become complacent. These c**ts are proper jammy and fluke wins while playing sh*t.

Is it raining or is Mike Dean crying?

I still don't understand why we signed him. 

Well Sarri is gone. Banging on about the same points on why he is leaving over and over again is pointless since we have nailed down all the possible reasons already. 
Focus should turn to our next manager and the squad for next season. Once again top 4 will be our aim seems like thats the best we can do these days. I am not expecting the board to put any thought into the next appointment or future signings. Coutinho is being chased imagine spending Hazard money on him. Feel emotionally detached from the club and people who think we will keep winning trophies carrying on like this will realise that the reason why we kept winning despite managers being turned over was because of the players we had. Drogba/Cech/Lampard and Hazard after them carrying us. We have no one in this team who can lead or on Hazards level now.

People are not looking at the real problem here. 
Sarri was brought in by the club to build a team and play a style of football. 
After a 'successful' season we are yet again looking to start over again with a new manager. While Pool and City build on and add on to their existing strong squads.

f**k. another dinosaur. this has to be a nightmare. I am Italian and know what Juve fans think of him. Gets shown up in Europe due to sitting back all the time with dinosaur tactics and their annual scudetto win in a league where they get first dips in recruiting the best players. 

Even rival fans are baffled as to what were doing playing in USA at this time of the season. If the transfer market of recent years weren't bad enough now untimely friendlies sabotage our season. Nothing wrong with rightfully criticising the club for poor decision making. 
With Ruben and Hazard i was confident on winning this final but it's all up to Hazard now. Fullbacks wont learn to cross the ball overnight and this team doesnt inspire anyone. Can only hope playing in a final is a big enough incentive to for them to turn up for once. 

people think other teams imploding gave us top 4 when 71 points is usually enough for top 4 looking at previous seasons. yh last season maybe not but there are plenty other seasons where even 66 points was enough for top 4. did teams implode in those seasons too? 66 is much lower than 71 points which is what spurs have in 4th place. enough of these ifs and buts. ridiculous 

No thank you. Barcelona fans want him out for a reason. We need leaders and consistent performers not hollywood signings who score a 30 yarder every now and then.

Not bothered by this match. Thank god we won last weekend, Leicester are on better form than us at the moment. Finish 3rd is preferable but it's not a big deal. Just hope we dont pick any injuries and Sarri rests players.
