Have to completely disagree on Klopp and Guardiola getting their "styles" nailed down pretty quickly. Guardiola in particular was under massive pressure throughout his first season, barely spoke to the media by the end and looked damn close to walking. He was consistently hounded for putting system first despite the players' (particularly goalkeeper and defenders) struggles. 
Not suggesting it's all clicking into place just yet but we at least appear to have some direction and footballing philosophy, and despite the bumps along the way we're doing OK. The team seem a lot more together than they did under Mourinho or Conte, and despite the media narrative we keep showing glimpses of brilliance in this setup, I'm happy to be patient and see it develop. 
This was an important win, made all the more difficult given Fulham's managerial change, and but for better finishing would've been a more comfortable scoreline. I just don't like the negativity, it's another 3 points and we're one game in hand from the top 4, I'd say we're on the right track.

Lol. You people moan whatever the lineup. Unbelievable.

Utter waste of 90 minutes, struggle to find a single positive from the game and suspect that Sarri's time may be up very very soon. It's a shame because by sacking him will simply cover up the mistakes of those who should be held accountable for the laughing stock that we've become.
Can somebody confirm to me who made the decision to sign Morata at £58M, Bakayoko at £40M, Drinkwater at £35M, Batshuayi at £33M, Baba Rahman £14M? There is £180,000,000 in signings over the past 3 seasons on players that are deemed not good enough to play for Chelsea. As we all know, Chelsea don't have football managers, they have a Head Coach, and it is not in their remit to sign players. So who is taking responsibility for that £180M loss? Who are the scouts that looked at them players? Are they still employed? Perhaps when Mourinho, Conte and Sarri all complain saying the club don't back them, they actually mean that transfers are made by unqualified, uneducated and incompetent individuals.
Do you honestly believe Guardiola doesn't dictate who is signed at Man City? Conte asks for a midfielder and the best the club could come up with was Danny Drinkwater and Ross Barkley. Perhaps the pundits should applaud Mourinho and Conte for their achievements, because in reality they won the league with bang average players.
Let's take Conte as an example, he came in in his first year and gave the players a chance to correct their horrendous season before by letting them start 433. As soon as he let them fail with that, he changed to his way. He played a system that caught the whole country by surprise and got the players so fit in training that we would run teams into the ground and overpower them. He protected the weak areas by playing 5 at the back, covered Alonso lack of pace by putting someone behind him, and we gathered momentum which saw us win the league. He knew that the everyone would adapt and set up differently against Chelsea the following season, so changes needed to be made. He knew the players we had were not good enough to kick on another level and therefore requested funds to buy better players. They gave him Morata and Bakayoko. Neither are world class, neither had enough history to suggest they could take us to the next level. Consequently he moans publicly saying we need better players, the weak individual we have turn on him and it becomes a shambles. We then sack him and within six months the two clowns we signed for him have been shipped out to other clubs! Looking like Conte was right.
There is clearly a fundamental issue within the club whereby there are individuals making decisions that they are not qualified to make. They are making mistake after mistake after mistake, and then you hear ludicrous comments like this is all the managers fault. What is Sarri possibly supposed to do with these players that are making constant individual errors. Did anyone see Azpi tonight, or this season in fact? Looks like someones dad playing right back, who has he got to put in to replace him? Who can he sign? Can he trust the club to sign a top draw player or will it be another Kenedy, Wallace, Baba, Luis, Zappacosta? 
I do agree that Sarri needs to adapt, doing the same things over and over again but expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity, but you have brought in an attacking, possession based manager and given him ageing, slow, defensive minded, weak players to do it with. A group that hasn't got a single leader in it. Oh and he's got 40 players on the wage bill that are on loan that will be returning to Chelsea when the loan system changes, which will inevitably hinder his future transfer budget as they are still on the wage bill!
I suspect he will be sacked but unless there are wholesale changes within the club this will continue year on year. You cannot buy success anymore, there are too many teams at the same level financially. You have to build a process, a process that has values and principles which give you an identity. Like we used to have with Mourinho, Cech, Terry, Cole, Lampard, Drogba. We remained successful regardless who was the manager because them boys maintained the "Chelsea way", the values and principles Jose instilled in them. There is none of that at the club now, and before anyone can build something they are discarded.
Those at the top of the club Roman Abramovich and Bruce Buck need to be held accountable. They are in charge of this football club, the results do not solely lay with Mr Sarri.

this lineup 

Why is this such a problem? We knew what football he wanted to play when we signed him. We knew it would be a long hard battle to teach it to the team. We knew we weren’t title challengers this year. So now when we’re in one final, still fighting for 4th and still in the other 2 cups, now is the time we should just abandon the whole thing and go back to defensive football? 
And people act surprised that we’re stuck in an endlesss boom/bust cycle. As soon as sh*t gets hard, everyone wants to jump ship.

I was delighted when he was announced as our manager, some of the football that napoli played last season was incredible. To be fair we're probably around about where we deserve to be comparing our squad to the others around us. We need a complete overhaul and a massive rebuild which unfortunately is going to take time. There are a lot of issues with the club right now and I don't see how sacking a manager after having 6 months in the job is going to help them. 

The players lost us the game last night, not Sarri. Heads dropped after one goal. We followed Sarri's game plan and ideally we should have been 1-0 through Kante. Instead we conceded and instead of fighting back and sticking to the game plan that had already created a clear cut chance, they gave up and the sh*t show followed. Its a weak mentality from the players that has been around for a while.

Agree with you 100 percent and it amazes me so many people calling for sarris head here, playing in to the very issue.
Same problems under 3 managers, toothless, down tools, fanning about, no aggression or personality.
 There is a rotten core at the club where player power is making it impossible for managers to succeed, the  second the players don’t fancy him it’s over, that’s not how a successful club should work. 
Then to compound that we have some bird who knows f**k all about football is running out club. 
Need a technical detector and a clear out in summer, in addition hazard is a wonderful player but he doesn’t work for us he needs to be in a team full of stars for his type of football to work, as much as I appreciate his ability I think he is probably the biggest diva in the dressing room, we should cash in on him and just rebuild the team under a new technical director. 

Some people want to lay all the blame on Sarri.
Some people want to lay all the blame on the players.
Personally I think there is more than enough blame for all of them to have their fill of it.

I call BS. he handed that in before the fa cup game yet started so why not drop him for that one?

I'm confident we will do them. Expecting a massive response from that sh*t show against arsenal.

When did Kante become a player who can only have one fixed position? The media in this country are odd in their fixation on a player being immovable. Kante won't become a better player in his current position if he doesn't get time. f**k me, Pep played Delph as LB last season and won the league.
People didn't expect Delph to thrive there but he did. However because it's Pep it's a fantastic decision, but because it's trophyless old man Sarri at big bad Chelsea, it doesn't make sense to the media and pundits lol. 

I think the thing that worries me the most is that he came out and said that the players are difficult to motivate. It was a f**king London Derby ffs. What more motivation do you need??

At least Emerson knows how to cross a ball. 

I won't fully blame Conte, but it's wrong to say there has been nothing wrong with him. Yes, the transfer windows didn't help him, but you have to get on with it, not put the players down and give up before a ball has been kicked. As usual, it's a collective problem at the club. The board didn't back the manager AGAIN, the players have downed tools AGAIN and the manager has just given up AGAIN.
It's the same sh*t every few seasons at our club.
