Remember Pep really struggled in his first year. It's still early days, but the Kante experiment is surely over, the man ought to move Kante back to his place where he's been the best in the world for the past couple of years, BAFFLING why he's playing him so far up, all over the place. Yes, he is versatile and one hell of a player, but thats not where his true strengths are, and everyone recognises this apart from Sarri. I sincerely hope the players had the balls to give him their thoughts last night. I was watching the Bournemouth game last night and before the first half ended my inner monologue said 'I wonder if Bournemouth fans are even feeling the pressure from our advanced position up the pitch here, moving the ball all over the place pretty well, yet we aren't really going anywhere'. We played some very nice one touch football in the first half, yet we did f**k all with it in the box. We look like flakey Arsenal from 5 years ago. Our tactics are so obvious and seem to be easy to nullify with tight marking. The ball on the deck is nice to look at normally, but we nearly caught them out a couple of times by mixing it up and playing chipping throughballs etc, we need more variety in our play. We got caught on the break a lot and paid the ultimate price, egg on face. He has to make big changes and fast.

I am Sarri I sat down to this

Time to hang up the boots lads dear oh dear

f**king typical!

second touch :(

this is like tika taka with no end game

Golazo Higuain

Fantastic turnaround from the boys. If Higuain settles quick we may have some very exciting games coming up!

Manager Maurizio Sarri said it seems his Chelsea players are "very difficult to motivate" as he heavily criticised their performance in defeat by Arsenal. The Blues lost 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium and only had one shot on target in the match. Chelsea have only won two of their last five matches and are now just three points clear of fifth-placed Arsenal and sixth-placed Manchester United. "I'm really angry about the approach that we adopted today," Sarri said. "It's an approach we can't really accept." In a remarkable press conference after the defeat, Sarri said he wanted to speak in his native Italian rather than English "because I want to send a message to my players and I want my message to be very clear". "I have to say I'm extremely angry, very angry indeed," said Sarri, who took over as Chelsea manager at the start of the season. "This defeat was due to our mentality, more than anything else. "This is something I can't accept. "This group of players are extremely difficult to motivate. "You can find yourself in difficulties from time to time, but we need to react to those difficulties a lot better than we did today. "This is not a team that is going to be well known for its battling qualities but we need to become a team that is capable of adapting, possibly suffering for 10 or 15 minutes then playing our own football. "Today we didn't play our own football." More to follow.

Never looked like scoring in a month of sundays. You know you have had a bad day when arsenal out fight you, f**k sake. sh*te sh*te and sh*te.

Fs Barkley

Looks lively! Come on son!

A foolish move by Klopp, they had every chance to win the cup.

You cant blame CHO, based on our historical dealings with young players. Bayern is a big club and it is a lot to think about. You don't want to end up another Joe in Vitesse. If we are serious, we have to play him regularly, even if for half hour stints.

Sarri needs to give him a really good run of games to keep him I think. Him and Loftus are more than ready.

Hopefully our fans keep the Y word in check tonight, dont give the rags a chance to beat us...

Some England player has been sniffing coke at the christmas party....hmm My bets are on Vardy or Pickford!!

true, whoever pulls the trigger on those should take a back seat....maybe listen to the manager? Giroud I think can come good with time.

He has been an utterly depressing signing. So poor!

we need diego costa back haha

Great result, hard place to go and we are a work in progress!

unlucky lad

booooom
