Think this is more about the players and less about the manager, we have a lot of 2nd options on D, but we need a top class defender imo.

Does this mean Sarri is a good manager only if he’s got the best players? Does he not have some responsibility as a coach to set-up and make international defenders defend competently?

I know Kante is doing well at his new position, but our defenders miss having him in front of them.  He broke up a lot of plays before it ever got to our defense.  Our manager was the one who decided to sacrifice the defensive aspect of Kante's play

conceding 2 at home to burnley is criminal, they must know how they play !! days of the fortress becoming a distant memory

Just come back in to watch, Kante off? Is he injured?

Emerson is linking up well with Hazard, but his crossing has been off today.

Maybe, but if you're trying to build a better team, you gotta take some lumps sometime and not always try to scheme to hide players

He nodded off during Sarri's team talk. Fell on the floor and hit Sarri's dignity on the way. 

Who the f Does Emerson keep crossing to...Pedro?

To be fair crossing for our wingers and full backs is a nightmare. We only ever have the striker in the box and sometimes he’s not even there.

Kante is so talented, he can intercept things that don't exist. 

Rudiger was our best signing since Kante. 

Higuain was too slow there, he almost cost us.

Sarri clearly dived and grinningly held his sore dignity. Kante is such a gentleman he didn't want to confront him. 

We are the best team in the universe at throwing our hands up in the air when something doesn't go our way.

Instead of, you know, trying to win the ball back. 

I love kova’s determination, he refused to score a goal or be a goal threat and he carries it out diligently each time

He has no business holding the ball so much time and in that part of the field, unfortunately this is not the first time, he shoud quit that habit right away.

Who would you rather have for our current squad, if you could only pick one:
Prime Terry
Prime Lampard
Prime Drogba 
Prime Ashley Cole 

Higuain needs to stop f**king moaning this half and get on his toes. 

Well, ten minutes in to the second half and we haven’t conceded, I’d say that’s an improvement!

He's absolutely woeful isn't he
