He started very well for us but in the middle of the season he was definitely poor. Very stubborn in not willing to change tactics or drop players, but at least he wasnt stubborn/stupid enough to carry on the same way because towards the end of the season he really did pick up again and showed he was willing to change tactics and drop players. Jorginho had a big turn around towards the end of the season, and Sarri is a big reason for that. Not to mention that CHO and RLC are pretty much in our starting XI now. I support Sarri 100%

I wouldnt mind having him as a backup keeper to Kepa. But I dont think thats the position someone his age will be looking for.

This is essentially our game in hand, 3 points is a must! Top 4 and Europa are all we have left this season, and our Europa run of games is looking quite easy (dare I say) so we must fully focus on top 4 now

What a player! Incredible performance! He's similar to a Zlatan in terms of him being big and strong, but also technically very good! Not many players who seem to have both of those about them.

Best draw we could have hoped for, but we cant underestimate them as they just knocked out Sevilla, who only just a couple of seasons ago won the europa 3 seasons in a row. If we do get through, i expect to play benfica in the semi's, which should also be a decent game for us, and then either Napoli or Arsenal in final. Napoli vs Chelsea would be pretty poetic though dont you think?

Giroud for the hattrick. But mightily impressed with RLC, my word the way he was dominating that midfield! Also thinks Kovacic really suits that position (the Jorg role). Jorg/Kova should be in that role, and have RLC and Kante together with Barkley as a option off the bench. CHO shined again given the opportunity, Alonso also had a good game given his terrible form this season.

Absolutely spot on. Dont get me wrong, Pedro and Willian have had their uses this season and pop up every now and then, but as for consistent top level performers they are way past it. Wingers being made up of Hazard, Pulisic and CHO is great. Though i do feel if we sell both Pedro and Willian that we should probably sign one more winger in case of injuries, or just bring back a loanee/promote a youth player. If we still decide to have both Willian and Pedro next season, then I really do feel for CHO because hes just not going to get the minutes he deserves

f**k me Tottenham really are bottle jobs ahahahah! Perfect opportunity for us to come storming back tomorrow. Would be great if Arsenal and Utd could draw and we beat Wolves tomorrow!! COME ON YOU CHELSSSS

Kepa for me, had plenty to do all night

Should have been 7 or 8-0 to us, but 3-0 is good. Lovely 2nd and 3rd goals. Alonso was poor and Zappa's crossing is some of the worst ive ever seen. Definitely need some new fullbacks. Should be going through, just hope we have an easy draw so we can focus up more on the prem

In all fairness to RLC, he was injured and just getting back into the mix. CHO i can somewhat agree on, but they are both still improvements since the early parts of the season

Exactly mate. As long as we bring in the right players in and sort out the loan mess we can easily compete for all the top honours next season. As good as we started, this year was always going to be a transitional/rebuilding season

What a performance he had against Madrid! Too bad now his name is in the bright lights and teams like Barca will go after him

Would be a great transfers, but for whatever reason money+swap deals hardly ever come into fruition

Not going to lie, before the europa game against Malmo where we beat them 3-0, I had lost almost all faith in Sarri. He came across as a stubborn manager who was never going to change his tactics no matter how badly we got humiliated and I thought he was done for. But since the embarrassing defeat to City, he has actually shown that hes willing to drop players and change tactics a little instead of playing the same football over and over. Obviously he could have done it sooner, but its better than not doing it at all and I have some faith in him again. Of course its easy to say that we should sell half our team and drop all our regular starters, but the truth is change comes slowly and im happy to see he has already made some decisions we thought we would never see such as dropping Alonso for Emerson. The tactics with Jorg seem to be changing a little and Kante sometimes plays deeper than he did at the beginning of the season. Kovacic is also a good replacement for Jorginho, and thats where Sarri has been playing him as of late. CHO and RLC both also getting much more minutes is also a bonus. Im never one to speak too soon, but I feel we are past the worst of the season now, so it can only be up from here (I hope)

Need to be at our best to beat Wolves tbh, they have been sensational this season and probably the best team outside the top 6.

A nice semi-rotated team for this should still be more than enough to handle Dynamo who have looked a bit shabby this season. Willy Azpi, Christensen, Rudiger, Emerson RLC, Kovacic, Barkley CHO Higuain Willian

Gullit is a legend yes, but he was relatively unproven. Zidane is one of the greatest players of all time and in a lot of people's all time XI. 200m gets 3 players yes, but in todays market its not even that crazy anymore. Also, our squad is already actually pretty good, but we are just a couple of players short of having a great squad so us getting 3 top drawers players will completely change that. The main problem we have is our bench is relatively weak compared to other sides and also our fullbacks are aging and RW is poor. Saying that though, Sarri has given me some faith in the past couple of weeks in showing that hes actually willing to change up tactics a little bit instead of the same bullsh*t he was doing before. So I think Sarri is still a good shout atm. Glad that hes not as stubborn as some of our previous managers

He got the dressing rooms complete and utter respect. 1) Because of the legend of a player he was in recent years, and pretty much all the current crop of players would have watched him play growing up and idolised him (especially Hazard) 2) He inherited a squad that didn't perform anywhere near as good as they could have in previous years, and he completely changed them I think he would do well for us, at least in terms of changing up the way we do transfers (which is pointless now because of the ban but my point still stands)

After watching last nights performance, Id go with this: Kepa Azpi, Christensen, Rudiger, Emerson Kante, RLC, Kovacic/Jorginho Hazard, Higuain, CHO Subs: Luiz, Caballero, Alonso, Willian, Barkley, Zappa

Think Sarri showed (albeit a little) a side of him that he is willing to change tactics a little bit and play around with the players/formation

100% its times like these (when hes young and new in first XI action) that he can learn from playing in big games making mistakes. Every player will make mistakes, and its just part of the learning curve. If anything its better hes making mistakes at such a young age, so as he gets older and more experienced those mistakes get ironed out. I thought Kovacic didnt do too much last night tbh, but it was still a fairly decent performance. The crowd were singing CHO's name nonstop last night, so I hope he appreciates it and understands that pretty much every fan is backing him and hoping for him to stay

well i saw somewhere above it was being said that we can still buy players, just not be able to register them?

So if we were to buy a player, we'd have to send them out on loan and they can't register with us until the ban is uplifted? Not sure how I feel about this, but its not the end of the world. Maybe finally we'll start integrating some youth players into the team because we have no other choice :D A massive squad overhaul is needed anyway

Was at the bridge last night and after seeing him live, there is no doubt in my mind he should be starting. Everytime he gets the ball he looks electric. Of course there are some mistakes in him, but what 18 year old doesnt have that in him? In fact, he's actually so good, that I'd say he's actually one of our best players. After Hazard he is definitely up there as one of the best players for us on the pitch
