Man Utd vs Chelsea (PL) Sun 28th Apr 16:30 GMT

You wouldn’t think we are in the top 4 and a European semi final with some of the Debby downers on here ffs.

we have gone from a dull defensive team to a possession bases attacking team, in our first season, it takes fuxking time and the manager needs support, every club gets this except us.

Unfortunately this stupid I want it all and I want it now mentality doesn’t stop at the club seems with the fans too. 

Days of Daddy Roman splurging are over we need to approach this like normal people now, work and perseverance cheer up honestly.

You could be right but then again, anyone who is Pro-Sarri keeps on using the Pep, Klopp, Poch comparison but what are they basing it on? Those three coaches are all highly respected coaches and all of them could probably walk into any job going. Sarri isn't of the same calibre. If Chelsea sack Sarri, he wouldn't be considered for Man Utd, Barca, Real Madrid etc. He MIGHT get to that stage, but I have seen little to convince me that he will.

Sarri may be higher calibre than you think and at least one of those three rates him highly. What's impressive about Sarri is that he came to football from a different profession and worked his way up the leagues with no help. Compare that to Pep who has only ever managed the top teams in the leagues he's worked in. We don't know if he'd do any better than Sarri with the current Chelsea squad. Would Huddersfield have avoided relegation with Pep in charge? i doubt it. By the same token, we don't know that Sarri wouldn't be winning the league if he managed City. I think the relevance of the comparison to those three is that Sarri's first season in the premier league, when you adjust for squad quality etc, is no worse than any of theirs. 

 
but sarri has won jack sh*te in his career, and does not look a big game coach to me, i certainly will not fancy our chances if we make the EUFA final, same as i think he will blow top 4, but that aside i am no hater and if he gets top 4 or wins the EUFA, i think he should have another season

Yes true to date yet but for a cock-sure young keeper we might now be the holders of the League Cup against the team now going for the triple!

good point, but the fact that even happened does not say much for sarri's leadership qualities

I think you are being too harsh, good goal keepers are hard to find and by then bringing in Caballero he at least made a public stance against bad behaviour, IMO.

maybe, i just don't much rate his motivational skills, he has even admitted his lack of them, i do not see pepe or klopp having these problems, you can see a bond there between players and the coach and see that they are playing for their gaffer

It was funny at first when I saw Alonso as a winger there, but on second thought, know we are not favourite for this and being an away game, I think it could work in our favour, the only problem is, it will force Hazard to play on the Right Wing where you can't get the best out of him.
 
We must not lose! Declares Sarri.

It is a cup final, we need to win it! Declares Pedro.

Let's see if you can back up that big talk Fella's.

Could have Alonso cut in from the right on to his left peg. Main reason to have in there is for attacking headers.

Really I think he would contribute more than pedro or Willian. A lot more...

 
If Kante is out and he plays Kova in place of, cant see anything but a draw or loss based upon the away form which has been abjectly awful (despite Sarri being a football coaching genius that 'just' needs more time in an inpatient world where most armchair analyst ignoramuses like me wont wait 2 seconds or even 3 years for his one & only cant ever change best football ever played system to take root with the playing staff). Btw 'It takes Time' is a great tune by the London Cowboys in case you've never heard it.

I'm optimistically predicting 1-1 but that's based upon the 'genius' manager finally addressing the inevitable 2nd half collapse.

 
Good news about Big Tone, I hope Kante makes it too he loves a cheeky goal against United.

your idea could work but put Emerson up higher - Emerson has played role & supported Alonso when he went forward

 
I think Sarri could have tried sarri ball with Kante at the base . Just stupid not to try it. . However all I really care about in this thread  is getting a result in this game. It’s a worry about Kante. 

Im going with Alonso at lb and assuming no Kante Kovacic, Barkley and RLC. Hazard, higuain and willian
