    anyway back to Sarri I want him out and its going to happen soon as he is not a coach that wins too much or even anything at all, he sacrifices the art of winning against the art of playing so called attacking football which is also a lie as possession football is not necessary attacking football and I think that describes the current Chelsea team perfectly. the Board were duped probably not intentionally into believing Sarri will bring in attractive football.

    Moos – I would argue that if you knew about our history with Spurs then you would know that it goes back to the 1967 first ever London FAC final which we lost to them. From that moment on all Chelsea hate Spurs. END OF

    I do not need to be told whom I should dislike as I have and am entitled to my own opinion. I can understand that some of the more recent fans may not appreciate or understand where and why this hatred exists and possibly it will die out in time but for now it is there and believe me it is very real.

    At the start of the season we were adapting well and playing football that was so far the closest to what Sarri played at Napoli. It was entertaining and bought results (sometimes luckily)

    Not sure what has happened but what we are playing over the last few months is the slowest most boring style of football with little or no end product. It really as been painful to watch at times

    This is what disappoints me the most when I know that deep down Sarri must really want to be able to produce that good flowing football again. Is this player power taking over as possibly some feel that we are wasting the talent of Kante for Jorginho who is not setting the world alight in the manner we were led to believe could happen or is Sarri simply out of his depth as the EPL is so different to Italy?

    I do not know but feel that as a Club we committed to the manager (rightly or wrongly) and therefore he deserves our support and some time to turn things around. Whether or not he gets the time depends largely on what he was told to achieve in his first season. If CL is mandatory (which is what I would assume) then that can still be achieved via 2 routes so to kick him out now would seem harsh to say the least

    I just think we have to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he can turn things around…? KTBFFH

    Moos, I distinctly remember posts from you where you claimed you were not a Chelsea fan but your Uncle was.

    You’re the first Chelsea fan I’ve ever heard of saying they have had a soft spot for Spurs. Being a Chelsea fan and having a soft spot for Spurs just doesn’t go together.

    However if you’re a 100% Chelsea fan now that’s good enough for me.😊

    RDP to an extent I have to agree with you as I have had my suspicions about Hazard’s for a few seasons. However, take his goals and dogged determination away this season and we are relegation fodder.

    Also he has been singled out by Sarri for critiscm, unlike his golden boy Jorghino.

    What I would say to people is the next time you are watching Chelsea live take time out, dont follow the ball and watch Jorginho carefully, actually look at how effective he is at reading the game, hitting a player on the move, his movement off the ball, his ability to dribble. I have done this and I am yet to be impressed.

    Then watch the strikers, watch how deep they are dropping to get the ball, see how often if ever they are playing off the shoulder of the nearest Centre back. Watch their movement in the 18 yard box, which is non existent because they have no room to move by the time the ball gets there!

    Sarri is being called out now by ex pro footballers and managers because of his tactics on and off the pitch and with all due respect to posters on here I reckon they are much better placed to comment than many of us.

    Even our opponents are calling out they are targeting Jorghino because they know that is Sarris preferred channel!!

    There are matches we have won this season where the players have thrown Sarriball out the window, long balls out of defence, defensive errors etc.

    Sarriball may have been effective is Serie A, but it is all relative, it may have looked pacey in a more pedestrian league but this is the EPL, fast here is Bolt, fast in Italy is Farrah. In comparison Physicality in the Italian League is touch Rugby, EPL full on Rugby League or Union.

    Personal opinion Sarri was always the wrong man and I am yet to be convinced otherwise.

    999 I always been a Chelsea fan at the time I said I had other teams I support depending who they played against and only if it did not effect Chelseas chances for any trophy or advancement, check the history if you remember and if its possible, however in recent times Spurs have become a threat to us so I no longer have that soft spot for them whether Uncle Mike likes it or not, dont know what my Dad thinks about that but I will check with him when I go to my next life. I hear they very forgiving up there.

    NI, where we are currently is not great and Sarri is under significant pressure now and he faces a very tough February.

    But just to keep a sense of balance read what Pep Guardiola says about Sarri, and with all due respect to posters on here I reckon they he is much better placed to comment than many of us.

    Number of different stories being reported today but most seem to think that sari is safe for now:

    1. Sarri refused to travel home on the team bus after the midweek game
    2. The board state his job is safe for now but they want to see a plan B when/if plan A is not working
    3. Roman has contacted Sarri directly multiple times for an explanation to our recent slump

    Obviously no idea how accurate any of these are but as we always say on here – there is no smoke without fire…!! KTBFFH

    The dreaded vote of confidence from the Board eh nine. We all know how that ends up. Bottom line is a manager is paid to manage….not conduct training and skills sessions. You have assistants and dedicated skills coaches for that. He manages his squad..i.e. tactics, formation, personnel, planning, opposition studying and analysing….and he managers players individually…one on one chats, goal setting, performance monitoring, he gets to personally know his players, works out their currency and what makes them tick. Motivation skills, mentoring…esp with younger plsyers, counsel, advice…..the list goes on.

    I don’t care how difficult or moody a squad of players is. Yes they’re professionals, doing a job they apparently love for a shit load of dollah…and therefore shouldn’t need motivating. But that’s not how it works in real life. So….Sarri’s job to get the best out of this lot…saying they can’t be motivated…publically…what the flip is that about.

    Taken from the Daily Mail regarding what was said in the after match “discussions”:

    “He reportedly questioned why the squad did not follow his instructions, picking certain examples from the game that proved they were not sticking to his game plan. Sarri asked the squad why they appeared to disregard what they had worked on in training and seemed unable to execute the basics of his tactical plans”

    Definitely sounds as though we are heading into troubled waters and I also read he blames Hazard specifically doing what he wants to do rather than follow the game plan. Also reported that the squad highlighted issues with everything revolving around Jorginho

    Is that player power or simply clearing the air to improve things…? Team selection tomorrow will be very interesting…KTBFFH

    CFC1905 very interesting about the post match meeting. Also interesting that Sarri kicked out all the backroom staff and only spoke to the players yet its ended up in the press! So who is the leak in the camp and what is their agenda?!!

    From a very promising start to Sarri’s reign we are suddenly in very troubled waters. I honestly don’t know what to make of it all, except to say that watching my team right now has become more of a duty rather than a pleasure.

    Yes there is always hope at kick off, but that hope drains as I see us toil in front of the latest well organised deep lying defensive wall that we apparently have no clue how to break through.

    I thought RLC made a difference when he came on vs Bournemouth, but it was by then too late. What RLC does is engage the opposition and take them on more often, whereas most of our team are presently trying to pass around/ through the tight defensive ranks, which isn’t working.

    I really hope Sarri finds a way to make this work, but to do so he’ll need the help of both the current squad and the board in terms of new signings.

    As far as Sarri continuing his project with the support of fans, players and club, it really comes down to achieving a top four finish imho. If we miss out again on the CL the job becomes much harder.

    I think everyone here knows I’m on the more optimistic end of the fan spectrum (Morata, lol). However, if you asked me whether or not we’ll achieve top four at this moment I’d have to say no, unless there’s a North London meltdown.

    I think both Manchesters and the Scousers are pretty much nailed on to finish above us.

    Stuilse, ” the dreaded vote of confidence from the Board eh nine. We all know how that ends up”

    You’ve lost me mate I’ve written of the Board and Roman wanting answers from Sarri and never said anything about a vote of confidence from the Board.

    We’re still in the race for the top 4 but we won’t be in it without both the players and the Manager sort themselves out.

    If they can do that then Arsenal are flakey defendively and although United are on a good run on the back of a bit of new Manager bounce but De Gea aside they are flakey defendively too and they could have got stuffed at Spurs and were lucky to get a point at home to Burnley.

    But it’s not about the others it’s about us and if we don’t get our act together starting v Huddersfield we can kiss goodbye to a top 4 finish.

    Yes, both Arsenal and Utd are not the best defensively. However, they both have much better attacking options than we do.

    Martial, Rashford, Lukaku..
    Aubameyang, Lacazette..
    Higuaín, Giroud.

    Most of the competition’s strike options could beat our lads to the ball even giving them a 10yd head start!

    True Ash although you’ve left Hazard out and neither have got a Hazard.😊

    I still think it’s all down to us if the Manager and the players get their acts together we could still do it but February looks a really tough month and if things don’t go in our favour it could all implode.

    But these players are much better than the performances they are putting in and Sarri has to be more adaptable with his tactics and he needs to leave out players who are off form.
