When the subs are made tonight what is the betting that CHO will be first replaced?

All the while we’re not winning the chances of Hazard replacing CHO increase.

Perfect game to try something else. Go 4231 second half and mix things up.

 

if he did that half the Shedend would be having a cardiac arrest 

Serious question as it stands is Sarri the worst manager we've had under Roman? 

AVB is obviously right up there and Scolari but I at least remember us playing decent now and again under him. 

Hmm, oh well, we'll be in the next round.

Im looking forward to some people on here trying to convince the rest that the football under Sarri is better than it was under Conte.  If Sarri could sign 11 players of his choice tonight I still don't see how this gets entertaining.

He can't f**k off soon enough. Let's be honest, we've seen that many times before, the players simply stopped caring, the sooner it ends, the better chance we have to turn the season around.

 

How long before they stop caring about the manager after Sarri?

Rinse - Repeat

Credit to Malmo, they have set up and pressed us well that half. This is a game where Fabregas would be useful.

he seems to be trying very hard to win that accolade

Can't agree with that Scott, kovacic has been awful. Hes quicker than jorginho, but he has been very sloppy on the ball, and he doesn't help us play out from the back as as well. 

I don't think Kovacic has been very good or anything, but I'm seeing enough to make me think he can play this role the more he get's used to it.

Well...EVERYONE wanted a different lineup, we got it. So now what? Our squad is simply not good enough and there is no escaping from that big fact. Sarri or no Sarri our squad is not good.

We could play any formation, these players are bang average, at least CHO always shows that he deserves to play instead of Willian and Pedro. At least RLC when healthy makes a big difference. But the rest, bang average.

Conte looks more and more like a genius

Not long. People think this set of players are going to be world beaters after Sarri is gone. It's laughable, as if people don't have eyes to see how average some of this group are. If they need a specific system to look good, then they aren't good players.

What’s the point in turning the season around when we are going to be in the same situation next year?

Time to look at the bigger picture, fair enough the players can’t be arsed, tough sh*t. Let them do whatever they want, and then sell half the team and start again.

WRONG. People think that it's so f**king obvious that most of our players are just average and nothing special, only Sarri thinks that he can play Perfection football with these players nobody else, and that's why he should get sacked. Conte knew that this squad is average, Mourinho knew that the squad is average. Only Sarri thinks that his system fits these players.

He was. Many of us on here wanted him to stay  The board should have patched things up with him, and then backed him last summer.

Justification for Alonso is height for balls in, but seems Emerson is better at clearing balls into the box 

Emmerson is growing on me.

I absolutely f**g hate Ian Darke, he is so f**g sh*t.

Random, i know. Sorry

At least somebody is willing to shoot. He's the only person that has taken a shot so far today.

No problem when nothing is on give it a pop not when you can slip the striker in surely, but yes take a shot over the side to side nonsense

No he doesn't. He's said numerous times he can't motivate them. ie they can't/won't/don't understand what's being asked of them.

Funniest thing I’ve heard all night when commentator says ‘do you think CHO is playing his way into the team for Sunday’s final’. Wouldn’t even happen if he scores a  second half hat trick.

Even Huddersfield would be doing better tonight.

Saying that he can't motivated them doesn't mean that he thinks that they are not good enough, it means he actually thinks that the players are fine and that they could play in his system that requires almost perfection movement and tiki-taka. 2 very different things.

Edited February 21, 20197 yr by Gol15

a bit of pace on the counter and it's 1-0

with the players we've got, that's our game
